(JKEENW00D TO HAVE A COLLEGE.
Tho Williamston Institution Will Be
Moved at Once.
- ?
The Williamston Female College
will be moved to Greenwood. Green
wood will furnish the college a build
ing and tho equipment of the plant at
Williamston will bo moved to Green
wood. The col'ege how has 105 board
i .g students. A vote of tho students
was aken and 75 per cent said they
would go with the college to Green
wood.
Greenwood deserves great credit for
getting this college after failing to get

now college in Greenwood will be a
great institution, and the college in
Columbia will have all It can do to
compote with this school?with such a
town as Greenwood behind it.

WOULDN'T TRADE BY LETTER.
Laurens Farmer Refused to Trust to
Black and White in a Horse Trade.
Tho letter printed below was re
cently sent by a farmer who lives near
here to a gentleman at Slmpsonville.
A copy of the letter accidentally fell
Into the hands of Tnic Advertiser.
The letter may introduce some im
proved notions in tho mule trading
business, hence It is given to the pub
lic without the knowledge or consent of
the writer.
"Dear Sir:? .
"Your letter received. I had rath*
er you would come down and look at
the mules, as you know it is impossible
for a man to tell tho truth in a horse
trade and I would rather not put any
thing on paper. It might-be that I
would want to deny it sometime. I will
tell you as near the truth when you
come down as I consistently can to
make the trade.
"Yours truly,
a_t?i
What It Means*
Wo'ro tired of answering questions!
"Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer"
means that you don't bave to paint
your houso eo often, and you don't
have to use sp mach paint. Costs less
for the job, and you don't have to do
the job so often.
The new paint is no' new at all. It's
the biggest selling paint in the United
States, and the firm that makes it is
149 years old.

'?TO SANTA CLAUE."
A Cross Hill Teacher's Thanks For a
Nice Chair.
Dear old Santa Claus, when on your]
Christmas rounds,
You must have skipped none, if you"
visited our school grounds;
For the house was shut up and tho |
stovepipe is small,
How you got in I cannot tell at all.
A small voice from above must have
told you that night
That the gift of a chair for this teacher
would be right.
She walked quite a distance her work j
to do,
And occasionally rested on a box?un-|
dignified, too.
So promptly heeding the impulse good,
Old Santa, with his friend beside him,
stood
Holding the chair at the school-house]
door,
Waiting for every mouse, even, to leave
tho floor.
When at last all was quiet within,
With the help of his friend he brought j
tbe chair in.
Christmas days past, school time again,
The teacher returning, was just enter
ing in
When, 1<>! just before her. right by the I
desk,
The nicest, lightest little chair in]
In which she could rest!
? Oh, Santa Claus!" she said, "your]
good doods are many,
But surely this is the very best of any
You have bestowed on unworthy mor
tals
I In your annual visit to our earthly]
portals!"
May all that is good and pleasant and ]
bright
Bless you each day with a glorious I
light;
And if it is permitted for us to stay
here,
I Will greet you again at the end of the |
year.
