Williams, who has been ill several dny&fe still confined to his room, though he improves and .is \pccted to be out again soon. The tact is, we doubt not, that the doctor is suffering as much from . overwork as from real sickness. There is perhaps no busier man in the co tntrv, no more Unceasing worker. The pace lie has set would fag an iton man. We hud one Thanksgiving dinner that has a somewhat amusing history, so far as the date is concerned, connected with it. It was given on Thursday, the *-'2d, one weeK ahead ftime. The host probably had so many thanks on his lodger that he oould not return them in one day, .or so many turkeys that more than one day was necessary to their 4>roper extcuti?n. He was lucky, .and so also were the parson and his family, who were the guests at his November 22d Thanksgiving, and who were in at the flnioh of another gobbler on the 211th. Madame Rumor says (and we believe she is talking officially) that t.ake City will surely see two. and possibly three, brides before the dawning of the new century. Due of the two put down as u certainty lives in Lake City ; the other will come from afar with her worser-halfc-to-be, who Is a young business tnun of our town. The other ease spoke* of has reached that stage where the symptoms are as unmistakable as small-pox symptoms, but the exact date when it will become confluent is yet miUliOW'A. 0 The suspected train robber Green, of whose incarceration mention was ; \made in last week's Record, re-; uiuined in jail only a few hours. | Hem'hs arrested by Policeman Belk j at tl?e instance of Railroad Detoc-1 tive Blount nod iield until another k?? uliuin^ rotmhofl ' liecvcmi" nrm uj IIK>UU> Lake City.

Wesley Floyd have formed a part-; ! nership, we understand, for carry-1* I inj; on a mercantile business in our | ! city.

The gang went on to Bass' Bridge where it will he ten or twelve days I at work on the causeway through j j the swamp. It will then return to j Lake City and perform the work due the town, which amounts to; one hundred and thirty-seven days.! The reason for going to Bass' bridge j before doing the work here is that j Lynch's river is now down and the work required cult he done only at low water.TLe gang has done some ; good workon the road from here to Kingstree, which is porbabiy the mosftravelcd road in the couuty. A certain negro has been giving a good deal of trouble and annoyance in the Gaskins neighborhood | lately. On Saturday night he went, to Mr. Ira B. Gaskins' where Mrs. | Gaskins and Mrs. Cornelius Baker I trere alojte, and knocked, walked the piaeza,stamped upon the floor and made himself generally noisy and obtrusive, until one of thej ladies fired a gun, when the scamp ! walked off. When Messrs. Gaskins j and Itaker returneu iney nuua-d the fellow* with the county hound* but could trail him no farther than 1 Lynch'* Lake. Sunday night he went hack. This tiiae Mr. (iaskins was at -home with his .wife. The negro walked around the house. 1 tried doors .awl windows, and made ! a good deal of noise, until Mr. Was-j I kins went out of a window in order ! Ifto get a shot at him. The negro : then went away. The dogs were j again put on his trail, hut they ; failed to find him. What the rascal was after is somewhat a mystery. He did not act as a thief 1 usuallv acts. During the run Sun-| [ day night tke dogs trailed bfiu to iand around two or three other j houses ii: the neighborhood.

Seeing in Southern papers the names oi a number of farmers who hauled their cotton last year to the roundlap pJVSs operated bv Mr. D. M. K/.ell at raulkner, Texas, the Southern Farm Ma gacine of Baltimore wrote to them I to learn whether their experii nee had shown the ro'tudlnp baling method to he profitable *o farmers. Without exeeptiou the replies were highly flattering to the roundlap bale: not one captain*d any criticism o/ &. Mr II. W. Dicksou of Crisp wrote:' "Mr. J). M. Ezell giwned my entire crop last season. Part of my crop I had ginned into rocmllap bales and part Isold in the seed. The fir-t I had ginned was in the fir>t djuvs in September, tor which 1 received t; rents .....j Ti.o hal*> wa-i -m-II pt'J jmunu. .-v, ing on die same dny in Entils market t< r 5.30 to 5.55.x On November 6, i sold ei-l?t round bales for 7 23.

I would say that ihere was a square press in com petition with rouudlap prc-s at tlie pniut wherel gin. and I had the opportnnity comparing prices.

Neither j Ot t lieSC gill* wouiu i?aci tijv uiwiv v.... . 2 cent* a pound in tlteseed. They al-1 so stated that they would Jose money at tliar. So Mr. Ezeil's round lap price caught ine at 2 45." Mr .l.L. A. Grizzard of Unstol: "I received froui $1.50 to $3 50 on each bale put up on the rouodlap bale press operated by Mr. D. M. Ezell more than I could have received from the square bale. 1 figured very closely on the difference in the two presses, and it is hit honest conviction that tiie round bale paid its patrons more for| cotton than the square bale press." Mr. J. M Andrews, of Bristol: **I | had 11)0 bales ginned on the ronndlap fjuie gin, and am well pleased with result*. " These are samples of many letters, written by farmers ail over the cotton state*, bearing witness to the fact that loundlap bales bring the producer higher prices than square b*?.s. j We fine a.boce -oom{>etit?ij oa Horses and Mi Buggif 01 LIVERY DEI Is Complete with New Turn J.
