Philadelphia., have arrived and will' < doubtless remain through the season, as is their custom. Mr. B.I\ liatchell came down from Effingham Wednesday on !)us?re*s. fie is tfee inventor of the "Hutcheli* plow, winch is betn? introduced in this section and oeems to ue meeting; with favor. Air. Hatched, while here, said that he has *n idea of coming; to our town and putting up a plant for the manulacture of his plow. He is ccnC ient that he has a plow j that is in many respects superior to any other plow mow in use in this country. A lew Jays ago Mr. 0. F. Flow-! ers met with a painful accident near the McCowu place, eight or ten nuies below here. lie was ' riding along the road when his horse took fright and ran and dashed inio a wagon that was ahead. Mr. Flowers was thrown from ihe buggy, landing 011 his shonider. The shoulder was dislocated. lie was brought home, reaching here late at night. He' suffered intensely. The wound is j not if, . idered dangerous and lie' is doing vra 1!. Mr. W. 6. Meore, of Mess Moore Stanley, returned the latter part of last week, lie had been j spending some time al his old home, South Boston, Va. While | away he was ill several weeeks.j but we are glad to say that lie is improving and will, now that he j has come bark to Lake City, no; doubt recover rapidly.

Mr. Kennedy's berL m I ,l| Jj|l ly farm is veiy fine, in lactone ol ^ The finest in this entire country. a Oilier shipments were made the j early part of the week. In a lew v days more the season will be in t full blast and il yon want to wit- r ness a lively,scene, come to our t depot in I he early morning hour. $ The intendant's court has been 1 livelier the past few days than s usual, and more than one sinner 1 has found himself on the mourn- s er's bench. For several vears we ' L, have noticed that on or just before full moon more offences are coin- f milted tlian at any other time a [luring all the rest of the month. c Dur attention was called to this n phenomenon by an ex-policeman 1 several vears ago, since which we 0 t have observed closely and we find the statement true. We do c not know whether there is ar.v ^ connection between the lull moon = and lawlessness. It may be onlv 0 a coincidence. The fact, however remains. 0 t On Friday night at about 11 j o'clock the barn and stables on e Mr. J. D. Daniel's place about a v mile below Lake City were entire- j, ly consumed by fire. The stables r were connected with the barn, la s the stables were two of Mr. Dan- <j iel's mules, one mule was gotten e out before he was injured, "but the | other was badly burned before lie ^ could be removed. His entire ^ back from the withers to the i tail was burned to a crisp. Some , lime will elapse before he is well, ;1 if he recovers at all. In the barn e was a lot of fine hav, some t'hous- t and or fifteen hundred pounds. s This, of c?ur*e was reduced to f asbes. Leaving the burned- mule ( out of the calculation. Mr. Dan lei's loss is $75 or $100. The mule was a fine one, and should he die, something like $125 moie t will be added to the loss. There seems to oe lime uou-ui uutv uic fire was the wtrk of an incendiary, but there is no clue to the person. Should the miscreant be detected, ^ he should reeieve the limit. 1 There was a lively little racket v between one of our leading voting v men and a coon a few days ago. The young man sent eooti to Cades . with a wag?n for lumber. % the time cuon reached Cades he had , worked up a fearlu' thirst, such a tearful thirst that he needs must hare something wherewith to slake it. So he drove on to Kingstree and loaded tipMn the N muzzle on SO horse power. This got a mova.ui: him as is its wont 1 and he got a move on the young man's horse. They, the coon and ' the SO horse power, reached Lake ' City near night fall, no lumber, A horse driven down and coon stove up. Then the young man took a hand In the game and dealt hiroslt the ace in a game of seven up. He laid oh the walking stick like 1 lightning. fast the SO horse power eoulrt not pass t he dead centre: when iiie stick was broken into j I splinter* ?he v. in. punched with (lie blunt ends of his arms until r the two were separated. Only a \ year ago another member of ?ur town council had a little same } with a walking stick. That's just j ( how it is. Our city fathers will L have peace even it they have to fight for it. 1 Wa had a fire Sunday which j f came near being a disastrous one. j, About 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon, j Mr. R. D. Rollins' residence on j Thomas street was discovered on J fire. In i few moments flame and smoke wpre pouring from the roof of the wing in which are one bed I room, the dimug room and the J cook room. The alarm spread t like-the wiuds, and men gathered < 1 r 7' nth almost incredible rapidity md went to work as Lake City >eople can work at a fire. Ladders vere run up, men swarmed over he roof, tore up the shingles and >oureJ in the water as if it was >eing emptied in by an engine, loon the fire was completely ex.inguished. The result was a urprise to most people. Before he men got well to work it realy eemed as if no power could save he house from to'al destruction, nit as has been demonstrated imeand again wedo not believe . superior to our bucket brigade an be found any where, and every nan and womau in town belongs o this brigade. Let a fire break ut. Instantly the ' wheelmen hrow themselves on their bicyles and dash in every direction iving the alarm. Mr. H. H. Sinletury rushes to the Presbyterian hurch whose bell is used as the ire bell and pulls the rope in , his wn peculiar manner that causes lie bell to give out a sourd that s thoroughly understood; from v*t>rv hmiKA uniir the men. each * *"?'

The ntire roof of the wing ot Mr. Rolins'" house will be to replace. )f course the water damaged the Mastering and the furniture susainc-d some injury in being reacted from the house. In dollars nd cents we hardly knpw how to slimate the exact loss, but we hink $50.00 will corer it. It'is jpposed <iiat the fire originated room burning soot in the cowl of he stove flue.
