THE COLLETON CYPRESS COM- I Complete Stock We fail to see wherein the country is arrayed against the town. Men from the country come to town, buy liquor from the dispensary, get drunk, “cuss” a little and try to fight. The policemen cause them to be entertained free for one night and when sober next morning the mayor relieves them of $5. Now, we submit that this is an exchange of courtesies which does not argue any lack of bonds between the town and country. Moral: Buy groceries or dry goods with your “boote" money and yeu will feel kindlier to the town—so will your wife and little ones. Vice WRITE-UPS. It is our purpose to begin next week a series of write-ups for the buaineM houses in town. We shall get cuts made from photographs of the buildings, proprietors etc. and use these to illustrate the write-up. We shah probably write up one a week till we have given a history of every business house, mill and factory in town, At the conclusion of the aeries in town it is our pur pose to use the cuts and write-ups in several daily .papers securing one or two pages, for that purpose. We would, therfore, ask that the pro prietors aid uS by preparing at once short historical sketches of their places ot business and if possible have photographs taken. These write-ups should prove most jnterest- ing to our readers, and good adver- tWng for the town's resources. The will be the well known firm of Tarry and Shaffar, has been dune. Therefore, we con tend that the main purpose of the Act has been abundantly complied with, even supposing there should have been an omission (which we do not admit) to file a statement.

It is thought Charlestonians will go beck to bathing again when the summer visitors quit using the sea shore.—Anderson Daily Mail. IT’S THE LORD’S TRUTH.

Dead heats who want to borrow a quarter must wait for two yean for another chance.—The Abbeville Press and Banner. WOOL GATHERING. Nurse (announcing the expected.) “Professor, it’sa little boy.’’ Professor (absentmirdedly.) “Well, ask him what he wants.”— Our Dumb Animals. THEY CAN PICK COTTON. The election being over, we now have a grave “problem of the unem ployed,” about one thousand candi dates having nothing to do.—The Nows and Courier. SO SAD. We notice where a young man was saved from drowning by a youngs hostile manner, when they come to see me.” % The* old gentleman, while extreme ly illiterate, was noted for hjs hos pitality and always kept open house. Gaffney Ledger. Birthday Celebration The annual celebration of Mr Sol- oman Hiers took placce in the Oak Grove in front of S J Hiers’ place on Saturday Sept. 5th.
