ITow For "Watoi works. In answer to the call made through The Dispatch last week, a large and entnusiasuc uieeuug ui t,iuuvu? the town was held in Roof's hall on Monday night to consider the advisability of securing waterworks and electric lights. Mayor John J. Taylor called the meeting to order and announced the purpose of the gathering. The meeting was organized by the election of Hon. S. J. Leaphart as ehairman and D. R. Halliwanger -secretary. The matter was discussed fully and ; freely by those who were in favor of the proposition and by those who opposed it. There was a difference of opinion as to the town being able to secure both waterworks and electric lights, the greater majority being in , . favor of waterworks only, and it was Anally decided to allow the chair to % appoint a committee to secure estimates and enquire into the cost of enatalling a water system. The chairman named the following committee: C. M. Efird, W. P. Roof, Samuel B. George, W. W. Barre and J. Simon Oaughman. (The committee is to secure all data incident to the cost of securing waterworks and an electric light plant and report at a subsequent meeting to be called by the chairman. _ I Ife is indeed gratifying to those of B9 who have favored the move for many years to see the nnasaal amount of interest manifested at the meeting.

I ON, S. C. I A Noted. Corner Sol'. | The well known property of the old firm of Piatt, Hook and Shull, Columbia, recently changed hands having been purchased by capitalist of that city and will be greatly improved. | The noted wagon yard which has been ; the stopping place for our people for years when camping in Columbia, will soon be dotted with stores, new j buildings already going up. This prop! erty has been known for many years as the Piatt, Hook and Shull corner, j This firm now composed of young Lexingtonians starting in business about 40 years ago with little capital but with good judgment and an eye to business, they become popular grocerymen of Columbia, and well did they succeed until their accumulations and investments grew into valuable property. In 1000 the firm sold out their business. Mr. Sanders Hook | ar.d Mr. Julian Shull retiring, Mr. W. I Piatt a clever and popular business j man, engaged in the dry goods busi ness, taking an a partner ins son, a young man full of business, and today they need 110 introduction or commendation from our pen for they are wide and favorably known to our i people. Their business is a success { and continues to grow, f. Mr. Julian Shull a member of the old firm died recently, and the sale was made for a division. The lot and buildings brought $65,000 which is evidence of how well these gentlemen, managed their business. Mr. Sanders Hook, a genial and clever gentleman, resides on upper main street. A Bride Sprains Her Ankle. While changing from one train to another a few days ago a bride wrenched her ankle very badly. She was afraid she would be lame for some time for the ankle pained her and was swelling rapidly. One of her fellow passengers brought her a bottle of Sloan's Liniment. The Liniment stopped the pain at once and took down the swelling and next day her ankle was almost as strong as ever. Mr. L. Roland Bishop of Scranton, Pa., says:?"On the 7th of this present month, as I was leaving the building at noon for lunch, I slipped and :?t. t 1611) spraining my wusu x iciuiucu in the atternoon, and at foar o'clock I could not hold a pencil in my hand. I returned home at five o'clock and purchased a bottle of Sloan's Liniment and used it five or six times before I went to bed, and the next day I was able to go to work and use my i hand as usual. I thought sure I would be laid up, and as we are busy I was j very much worried. I cheerfully recommend Sloan's Liniment to all persons who may injure themselves in any way." J. L. Mimnaugk & Co. While in Columbia last week on matters of business, the Editor took occasion to visit the mammoth department store of J. L. Mimnaugh & Co. Mr. Mimnaugh is now having completed a 30-foot annex, three stories high with basement, in order to meet the demands of his ever growing trade. We have never seen such an array of goods?such an array of values?irresiscable bargains, as is now shown at this great establishment. The millinery department at Mimnaugh's surpasses in beauty and loveliness all previous efforts, and the ladies in charge are kept busy from early morning until late at night filling ihe orders for Easter hats that are coming in from every section and quarter of Columbia and the Carolinas. To say that Mimnaugh leads in style and price, is but voicing the senti ments of the hundreds ot ladies who visit this department every hour in the day. Mimnaugh has the be9t and most up-to-date ladies' made suit department in the south. Here you will find everything in the ready-to-wear line from the simplest child's dress to the mo9t elaborate dress made; any shirt wai9t and underwear desired, and it will pay you to visit Mimnaugh's before buying any article in this line. The prices will do the rest. The line of dress goods carried by Mimnaugh is the equal of any store in the state. A'l that's newest and best in silks, wash goods, suitings, etc., and the prices are 90 low that you can't resist the temptation to buy. It is needless to attempt to describe the many new things to be seen at this great store now, for it would take columns to give anything like a fair idea 01 what really is in store for those who visit Mimnaugh's before making their purchases. But we will add that you can find anything for man, woman or child, and'thousands of articles for every member ot the household and all at prices that will appeai to your purse strings. At The Lyric. This week "The Lyric" theatre in Columbia, is presenting a series of attractions, which is, by far, the be9t ever seen in Columbia. So large have the crowds grown that it has become necessary for the manager to allow j only a full house to enter at one time j preventing the rush. The best acroI bats, the best dancers, the be.-t singers, the best music, the best comedians 011 the road, all appear at The Lyric, and the price of admission is j so small that every one can afford to enjoy an evening of fun and amusement. Our citizen * while in Columbia will find The Lyric theatre an ideal place to while away the hours. ?~??3 0 L U M 0 i We have opened our Mev will be pleased fur our Le> get their new hat.
