Plummer, iBoss, 0 JE Richards, Gaiter and i iHarrv Oulbreth. A party of gentlemen spent a V ^nightlast week at iiudsou's mill in quest of fiah. They report an enjoyable occasion and plenty of iSsh, about sixty bream, etc. , ^Numbers of our people are Tflockitig to the exposition every week. We can not undertake to , marae all who went down this Ml week. Hence we win name none. Our visitors from the North who , -ccnee here every spring have a ' good many comments to make upon the great improvement in our town during ihe last twelve to eighteen months. t kast year two crates of straw berries were shipped from hereon April 27th, this year one hundred and thirty four crates were shipped. .This shows how backward ' the season was in 1901. 4 ' , Mr. \V. J. Godwin, who went to 'Georgia about a month ago, returned last week, and bought out the blacksmith and repair shop of T. McGee and will carry on his old trade. The boys will come back. They can't help it. We are needing rain very k much, and unless it comes soon, some crops will be injured and others retarded. Berries are naadinir ivatop h;iHlv TfthapM UI li^ If M t V k 1 * </| p that has "been put out. is in dan- j :ger, and those farmers who havej not tran??planted, can not do soi .as long as the drought continues. Mr. Harry Gulbreth, who represents Ii. W. Dixo.i, New York, tells us that he is iaytng hit plans for moving here within a twelvemonth to go into the trucking business. We shall be glad to welcome him among us. New life, new methods, new energy will improve our country as nothing else will. We received a letter a few days -ago from a man in Chiliicethe, ' Ohio., who wishes to buy land in * fv* . . \ ' V. "y ( > this section in large tracts for s number of families who vramt tc come here and settle. The tide of immigration is bound to swing around towards the South, in fact it is already beginning to set in our direction. Mess Rodgers& Gaskins, a new firm composed of E. M Rodgers and J. II. V. Gaskins, are opening up a double-barrelled soda water and cold drinks establishment. They will run two lountains, one for whites and the other for negroes. This is a new departure and it remains to be seen how cuffv will receive it. We understand that a good many fish are being taken from Lynch? River now. This news has a very disturbing effect upon our nerves, and should the news be confirmed by a late report, we will not hold ourselves responsi ble for the consequences. Human nature, especially our fishing nature, can't stand every thing. Mr. G. L. Sauls, of Cades, is speaking of coming to Lake City and going into the hardware business. We hope that he will do so. We are always glad to welcome * a good man among us, and we believe he would succeed in the business contemplated. Further, should he secure a lot in a good location, he will build a brick house. This would be a step forward lor our town and one that we would delight to see taken. A few davs ago a prominent and highly respected larmer ol the Indiantown section, in speaking of the dispensary situation, remarked that he sincerely hoped that a dispensary would not be established in Lake City; that as matters now stand he felt 6afe in sending his wife and daughters here to do their shopping, and that were there a liquor establishment here, he would certainly be forced to have his family trade elsewhere. Still some people say that a dispensary would help business. Doings At Dock. Mr. Editor, I wish you good luck and hope that you may edit our paper, Ihk County Record as long as you live. Farmers of this neighborhood are uot yet through planting cotton, and a few have not finished corn planting. We are needing rain badly. Mr. Editor, I should be glad tn have you pay our neighborhood a visit. The people here would be pleased to receive a visit iroin the editor of their county paper. The news of the death of the old Confederate veteran, Capt. J F. Carrawav, was received here with much regret. It is sad tr see these gallant old soldiers passing away. Fishing is getting to be a popular recreation with onr folks, both young and old; and many oi the finny denizens of the deep find themselves dangling at the end ot a hook. We should be glad to have the chaiugang do seme work on the road between Indiantown and Rhems This community has nol had the roads \yorked by the conn ty yet, as has been the case in oilier neighborhoods. We hope U have the supervisor send the public road builders here ere long. ., Poet.

Cook, of Charleston, relieved Section Master Reddick 1 here last week. The Misses Haselden, who hare been visiting the family of Dr. W. 11 J. Ilaseiden, returned Friday to Lake City. Misses Bessie and Callie Price returned home last week after spending some time with relatives in Georgetown. Mr. Bravnard Joyner, who clerks for A. A. May, is sick of chills and fever this week at his home at Lake City. The many friends of Miss Dessie McElveen were glad to see her in town recently. She was accompanied by her sister. Mr. C. C. Cade informs this correspondent that if no disaster occurs he will be able in a few days to begin shipping beans from | his truck farm. It is reported that Mr. J. N.I Sauls will remove his saw mill here in a few days. It is to be hoped that he will, as a plant of this sort is much needed in Cades. Mr. E. J. Smith, who is superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school here, was unable to attend last Sunday owing to the illness of his little son, Arthur, who has a severe attack of pneumonia. The following persons from here took m the exposition last week: Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Sauls, Mrs. E. H. Sauls and son, LeRoy, R. E. Tarte, Dr. W. J. Haselden, Section Master Reddick, and ao doubt others of this vicinity whose .AB-wx-va T f oilorl t a onf IlilliJCn l jaiiwu ivr We understand that Lake City's second nine was expected to play a game with Cades' second nine Saturday afternoon on the lafter's grounds, but for some reason the expected visitors tailed to show tip; hence it yet remains to be decided which tei^m is the stronger. We understand that Mr. P. M. i Rrookinton is bein<r ur?*ed by his friends to seek public honors. There was no truer citizen of Williamsburg county ban his father, the lamented Robert Brockinton, an J his son should be entitled to some recognition. Moreover, Mr. Brockinton is a hightoned gentleman and is worthy of any Jionors that might bj bestowed upon him. This correspondent did not witness the match game of ball last Saturday between Cades and Kingstree, played on the letter's (diamond, but we understand that the score stood 16 to 23 in favor of Kingstree. It is claimed in extenuation of this detent that Cades played only six of her regular team against Kingstree's full nine. Of course Kingstree's success may be partly attributed to this circumstance. IvAXHOE. Marriage at Possum Fork. i ( Editor County Record: I am happy te announce the ( prospective marriage of our pastor, the Rev. T B Owen, to that I estimable christian woman and . earnest Sunday-scnooi worKer, Mrs. N. 0. Poston, on next Sunday afternoon at Johnsenville f church, after preaching by Rev. D. Durant. I think it a good bargain on both sides, but I can't help bat say that he has a little the best of it. We send them, in advance, our earnest congratulai tions.
