" The Kmgstree graded school has issued a very creditable invitatioQ to the commencement exercises to take place May 17-20. We have seen quite a number of similar invitations this season, and that of the KingstTee school com, pares favorably with any of them. And the beauty of it is that the woik was done at home. The Record has donated many columns of space in boosting the the school and we are pleased to note the spirit of reciprocity and appreciation on the part of the young ladies comprising the invitation committee, who rather than patronize a "foreign" coucern that * * - _1 L <loes noc care a rap uwul vuc school beyond the immediate profit accruing from the present order, chose to patronize the home paper that has stood for the Kingstree graded school first, la3t and all time. -,;.V Occasionally we have some one to suggest to us that we do not ha8tle to get news when something occurs in bis community, probably fifteen or twenty miles distant, that does not appear in our columns. Well, if that be the criterion we must plead guilty. A country newspaper is uot equipped with facilities for news gathering when it requires sending out. special traius for reporters or despatch boats across the briuy deep at one dollar a year subscription price. If the people of a community really want a notice in this newspaper of any particular eveut surely they could find some oue capable of giving the salieut features and we would gladly do me rest, dih wneu u comes to having reporters cover every inch of territory through which The Record circulates, when the inc)me of the paper at best is barely enough to sustain life, as Artemus Ward would say, "This is 2 mutch."

It gathers the members of the household?the family and its gueststogether to be entertained. , ' One of its strongest features is its versatility. It is not gauged to any one particular taste.
