He took the position that the boy was a violator of the law and should be made to 9uffer the penalty of the law. There was nothing to be gained by "letting the boy off." On Monday a gentleman from Augusta came to Lexington and carried both of the boys back to Augusta. This should not only be a warning to these boys, but to every boy i throughout the country who, though * hardly "dry behind the ears," gets it 1 in their head to run away from home. Doubtless it will teach these boys a lesson. UaMian V?io lltlfw 4?

The time for subscribing to the Women's Monument Fund will soon expire. To date Lexington county has subscribed the sum of $207.73. It is hoped that by renewed efforts this amount can be raised to at least $250.00. There is no cause that should appeal more to the manhood of Lexington county, and it i9 hoped that our people will respond liberally on the "last go 'round." It is rumored that an effort is being made to organize an order of "United Sons of Rest" in Lexington. DIED~ Little Adam Fenton, the beloved iufant of Mr. and Mrs. Banyan B. Swygert, died at the home of hi9 parents at New Brookland, S. 0., June 9th, 1909. He was eight months old. Besides his broken-hearted parents he is survived by one brother, Mr. Roy Swyger 3. Around God's glorious throne above The happy angels stand And ever praise to God they love And fly at his command. And when a dj ing infant lies Upon its mother's breast The angels watch it while it dies And takes its soul to re9t.
