Cor respondents are requested t<> Blgn their name to the cenl1** butions Letters should not be mailed later than Monday morn ing. Laurens had more snow than Green wood. ? ? ? Our Harmony correspondent. his letter this week, says let's keep the dispensary oat. Second the motion. ? ? The Advertiser hopes that the rural mail carriers will not have as hard a time today as they did yesterday. ? ? ? Another one of those unsigned let ters came yesterday. It was about a marriage, too., but it had to go Into the wast? basket. ? ? ? In spite of the low price of cotton many improvements are seen through out the county. In a number of plac es new homes, new tenant houses and new out houses are going up. It tak< - more than a temporary depression to down Laurens county farmer*. They just will keep abreast of the times. ? ? ? The people of Clinton are to bo con gratulated on the forward step }|>ey are taking in laying a sewer line. Al though the mud Is a little bothersome right now, this little inconvenience! should be overlooked while such good work is going on. Clinton hat; gotten to be ouch a large place now that the health and wealth of its people de mand this move. ? ? ? In a letter to The Advertiser today. Mr. J. H. Moore, of the Chestnut Ridge section, complains ot hunting going on In his neighborhood on the Snb bath day. It is rather surprising that this condition of affairs exists in Lau rens county, but it can be put a stop to. A fruitful Held for the rural po lice is open In the Chestnut Ridge sec tion. If these Sunday hunters have no regard for the day themselves, they should be made respect the wishes of the majority of the community. ? ? ? The Advertiser goes out to its read ers today In a rather abbreviated form. Our regular line of interesting ad vertisements Is found, but the news is scarce. Realizing the circumstances under which our force worked yester day, we are quite sure that our read ers will bear with us if we give less news than we usually do. Our capa city for setting up advertisements was not lessened materially, for they are set largely by hand, but our linotype machine could not run on account of the )'"k of power, so of course we couh lot get up our accustomed amount of news. The Advertiser Is indebted to The Herald for help in getting up by hand the type that we did get up and we acknowledge here our obligations. In spite of the bad weather and the consequent lack of power, Tin- Adver tiser, at this writing, hopes to greet Its readers at the usual time. When you begin to read this paper, bear in mind the great difficulty under .which the rural mall carriers and oth er public servants have labored dur ing the past few days. They are a faithful band and we should give thanks that such steadfast, men, and women too, have In charge the deliv ery of our mails. ? ? ? OUR RAILROAD POSSIBILITIES. The announcement, or rather ad mission, of the C. & W. C. railroad officials that great Improvements are contemplated on that road will be re ceived in Laurens with great Inter est. ThJ people of this city have come to realize that in that railroad now rests her best hope for a trunk line. Now that these Improvements are about to be made and the C, C. & O. Is contemplating the connecting link at Elkhorn, Va., it Seems that the hopes of the people here for better railroad facilities aro soon to be realized. Of even more advantage than the im provement.** on the C. & W. C. would fte the building of that connecting link to a part.pf the, Chesapeake S Ohio Ry. from Elkiiom ou the Clincufield. When ' this link is built and the Clinchfleld has a direct connection with Chicago r.nd the middle west. Laurens, being on the C. & W. C?? would then enjoy ' all the advantages of trunk line con r.ections. A glance at the map will ; '. < . ;:::tt a line from Chicago and Clncinnattl to Spartar.burg und on to Charleston, by the cife W. C. is about : s short a route as can be found and It is natural to suppose that, on ac-1 count of the affiliation of these roads, ! this route would be the one most used. When these Improvements are made and developments at Charleston fol- ! low, we may (hen expect that long iooked for through train for Augusta and Charleston. And then. too. W? may expect even better local sched Although Laurens missed a grand oppt rtunlty when she let the Seaboard go I y end later as a natural conse I i :.e. ]. ssened her chances at the In rnt'ban, silo n.w can place mother hops that a great line i* once more within her reach. It's coming, too. NOTICE. The books ..f the City Clerk are open and ready for the collection of Street Tax. Dog Tax on Real and Persona! property situated in the City limits.
