The Pageland Journal ' September 27,1916 r 1 Local News John Robinson's show is coming: to Monroe ag;ain this year, the date having: been set for Tuesday, October 10th. The Journal is asked to say that theie will be a meeting: of iU l -I .L- n me uitiuueis ui die ?>apusi , ] church next Sunday morning immediately after Sunday school. It is important that every member be present. 1 Mr. B. F. Clark, the man who lost both hands in a saw mill 3 i years ago, has traded his horse , for a Ford touring car and may be seen riding about in it frequently. He drives it himself, 1 holding the steering wheel with the stubs left him and feeding the gasoline with his foot. * For some reason Mr. A. G. 1 Anderson has been called Sprunt i for some time by those who are intimate with him, but he never looked the part half so well as i he does now when he gets into < that Ford truck and opens her i up. We suppose it would be < proper to say,4,Mr. Sprunt" now. i Mr. W. E. Watts, of the Hornsboro section, sold a bale of short i staple cotton and the seed here Thursday for $114.59. The bale weighed 572 pounds, price 15.62 i 1-2. Mr. Watts says his crop is good, and that he will get nearly $2,000 worth of cotton on a two and-a half horse farm on which he used only $109 worth of fertil jzer. Mr. M. Price, of upper Union county, has rented the brick room next door to the City Barber shop, and is opening up a 5 and 10 cent store. He has also rented a dwelling on depot street from Mr. S. F. Ingram and has moved into it. He married Miss Kate Thompson, who is well known in Pageland. Mungo Bros, recently cut and baled about 550 bales of peavine hay from 25 acres of their farm just north of town. They value this hay at about $400. The actual cost of peas and labor is given at $66.10. On the same land a crop of oats was harvest ed before the peas which was valued at about $160. Favor able seasons would have increased the yield of oats more than double. The land is now in better shape than before. A marriage of interest to their many friends was that of Mr. Niven P. Lanev and Miss Beulah A. Pigg at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Pigg, Sunday afternoon about 2:30. Rev. John W. Elkins performed the ceremony in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. After the marriage dinner was served, and later the bridal party went to the home of the groom's father, Mr. J. A. Laney where suooer was served. These are popuiar young people, and the best wishes of a great many people are extended. The loss of three sons in eight days was the recent sad experience of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Tadlock, of Buford township. The boys were apparently well until the 8th of September when all three were taken sick of typhoid the same day. In five days Bennie, the youngest, age seven, was a corpse. Eight days , later, Ellison, age thirteen died ( at 6 o'clock in the morning,fand ( Oscar, age fifteen, at 11:30 at night. All the bovs were buried at Philadelphia church in Lanes Creek township. One small daughter is the only child left at ' home. This was a peculiarly ; sad experience for the father and mother, and their friends and acquaintances sympathize with them deeply. i % Bora to Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Sellers Friday, a daughter. Bora to Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Miller ot Jefferson Sunday, a daughter. Cotton sold for 16 cents on this market yesterday. Seed 12.60 a hundred, or 78 cents a bushel. Rev. John L.

Edgeworth is moving his stock of dry goods, clothing, shoes, etc. to Lancaster. He will move his family in a few davs. Mr. G. R. Knight is opening iipa line of fancy groceries* in connection with his repair shop In the building on McGregor street near Tadlock's shop. Mr. Lonnie Wallace and Miss Lula Burr, both of the Guess section, were married last Wed nesday by Notary S. W. Watts at bis home three miles from Pageland. Mr. Robt. New left last week for Gilbert, S. C. in Lexington county to take charge of a saw mill where Dr. J. D. Ingram recently purchased a big lot of limber. Mr. W. R. Evans sends word that he was defeated in the race for magistrate ot Mt. Croghan township by only six votes instead of nineteen as reported in this paper last week. Mr. O. L. Smith will open up a barber shop with new fixtures in the room next door to D. E. Clark on October 2nd. The old shop will be operated by the owner, Mr. C. W. Clark, for a while. The meeting at the Presbyterian church closed Sunday night. Dr. O. D. Jones did some of the best preaching ever done here, and though the visible results are not so great, much good was done by the meeting. Every Democrat in Chesterfield county and in South Carolina and elsewhere who hasn't a registration certificate for voting in the November election should get one at once. Next Monday is your last chance to register in this county. Don't forget it. Over on the front page is an account of the record bale of cotton at Monroe, which, by the way, is no record at all compared with that of Mr. J. E. Smith who sold a bale and the seed Monday for $162.46. This urac a Innnr einrkl/* ?J ? mu u iuuk siapic uaic UilU IUC price was 24 cents. Mr. W. Thos. Lanev writes from Chiplev, Fla. that the boll weevil has practically destroyed the cotton crop there. He savs he will gin about 200 bales this year, whereas he ginned about 2000 from the same territory two years ago, and there is no other gin to take the business away from him either. He is in Washington county in the western part of the State. The farmers there are forced to turn to other crops. How soon will the farmers here have to do the same thing, and how well will they be prepared for it? Personals Miss Madrith Jenkins, of Dudley, entered school here Monday morning. She is boarding at Miss Alice 1 hreatt's. Mr. James Baker, who lives & miles southwest of Pageland, carried his small daughter to a Charlotte hospital yesterday to have an acorn removed from her nostril. Miss Sallie Blakeney spent Sunday with her brother, Mr. Reece Blakeney, who is in the Hamlet hospital. Misses Ruby Bennett and Walker Reedy, cf Clio, are visiting Miss Sallie McColl. \ Letter From Alger Blackwell On The Border Having a good time.
