There are a number of candidates for the salaried positions. there being four for marshal, I am told. I am requested by Mr. J. A. Baker, to say that Bethel Baptist churCh will be dedicated on the second Sunday in May, the 14th, and that there will be two sermons that day, with dinner on the ground. The Rev. Vernon I'Anson, of Columbia, will preach the dedication sermon. All who contrib uted to the building are expected to be present. The public generally is invited. We were hurriedly called to the Bank of Prosperity on Saturday to see a great sight. On entering we were marched up to the cashier's desk and, lying on a sheet of paper, we saw something it had never been our pleasure to see before. There we could no! stand and gaze at them two 25-cent gold pieces. Mr. Wise. knowing my liking for such things, said he just wanted to show them to me. They were coined in 1871. One was round with a milled edge, the other 'octagonal. They were brought to the bank by Mr. Oscar Lovelace, of Mt. Pilgrim. There are four of them in the family-Mrs. Lovelace. Mrs. C,unts, Miss Lovelace and Oscar. They- were--given to Mrs. .Big * Dress Goods! $1.25 Black Invisible Plai + 85c.

There will be a meeting of the citi-' zens of school district No. 14 on Tuesday evening, May 2, to select a board of trustees for the Prosperity graded school. The meeting will be held in the school building at 4 p. m. All who are interested in the school f should attend, especially those who have children in school. Judge Hair has been a close stu dent of the columns of the Columbia State, and Dr. Stanley's doses have made an imp-tession on him, and he sits in state and holds a "levee" nearly 9 every day, and the way he doses out c the penalties to the unfortunates is a t caution. It is no unusual thing for I him to say that "The court, after hear- v ing the evidence, sentences you to~pay sixty dollars or go to the county in- e stitution for 30 days to take a post r graduate course in road building." n The poor unfortunate usually goes to n work at road building at the expense d of the county. Two such cases went g up to board with the county for 30 days last Monday. i.
