Watts at Providenr?> rhnri-b
dav night before the services began,
These boys had been at

was a result of former dis
agreements There were no
eye witnesses, and the accounts
as to how and why it was done
differ. The wounds were not
serious, and Mr. Hendrix was
able to come to Pageland to
have them treated. The affair
- so up set the people that no ser

day morning work began on tht
streets. The cross street be
tween Mr S. R Ku banks' and
the Baptist church is being shap
ed and clayed so that travel ovei
the Jefferson road may gt> this
way instead of the rough winding
course now necessary to get
from Maple street into the Jeffeison
road. This is a piece of
work that should have been
done long ago, and this paper is
pleased to note that it is now to
be done, along with other street
work in different sections of the
town.

"How did vour cantaloupes
e turn out, Mr. Sanders," was ask2

they are gathered, to get
them to market in time."
