By the way, this correspondent
had a treat this, Monday j
morning, that was a ''shore s
'nuff" treat. Mr. A. B. Johnson
came into our office looking as J
meek as a lamb and laid down
before us a nice little basket of
of beautiful peaches! Talk ofjj
surprises, breath being taken j ^
' away and all that, but no such i r
language conveys any idea of
our amazement. We were simc
t ply dumbfounded. We had not ^
heard of such a thing in this
whole country and had come to
~ .the conclusion that we would
see no peaches this year. Then
to be confronted with the basket
of luscious red, ripe Elbert
tas without a word of warning-,
_ without a hint of preparation
for the shock. We set the basket
carefully aside and tried to
go on with work, but, but?Oh!
say, we just could not do any}
- thing until those peaches were
stowed away. We certainly apr
predate this act. indeed more

We are about to make a starting
statement. In fact it is so
itartling that we are not pre>ared
to accept it without a

^oing to give the sources of our

ind let this soak in. Such a
leclaration can't be rushed,
dr. Joe Woods tells us that Mr.
V. E. Hanna says that Tom
fohnson will not eat watermel>n.
We wash our hands of the
ntire horrible affair. It is awful;
t is gruesome: it is unthinkable,
rhe matter is up to Messrs.
Voods and Hanna and Tom
Johnson. Mr. Woods is a Conederate
veteran and knows

AUNTAND NIECE
ME AT SAME HOUR. \
MISSES MARGARET BANNA AND AGNES
JANE HANNA STRICKEN
| DOWN BY TYPHOID FtVtl.
It is seldom our duty to record
a more melancholy event
than that which occurred last
Saturday, when two ladiesaunt
and niece-living near town
were stricken down by that
dread scourge, typhoid fever,
almost at the same hour, 11.30
a m.
Miss Margaret Hanna, the
aunt, was about tf)irt3T-seven
years old and had been ill for
about three weeks. She is survived
by her mother, Mrs, Jane
Hanna, one half brother, Mr. J,
H. Hanna, Sr., one half sister,
Mrs. R. R. McClary, one brother
and two sisters, respectively,
Mr. P. H. Hanna and Mesdames
J, E. and W. D. Brown.
Miss Agnes Jam; ftsms
a daughter of Mr, J. H. Hanna,
Sr., who lives about four miles
east of Kingstree. She was only
twenty-one years old, m the
bloom ot young womanhood and
her many friends deplore her
j.: 1 -- J ? , u
1 uniiiiic:y utrdiu.
It is a remarkable coincidence
that the two, aunt and niece,
shouid die at the same hour,
within a few miles of each other,
of the same disease. A large
circle of kindred and friends is.
afflicted by this double bereavement
and we extend our sincere
condolences to the sorrowing
ones.
The double funeral took place . '
at the family burying ground on
Sunday, the 21st inst., Rev. S.
J. McC'onnell conducting the
services.
A Card.
.Editor County Record:?
Posters have been widely circulated
in this section anouncing
a big show in connection
with a picnic to be held at an
early date in the Prospect
community. In the advertisement
thereof the following
statement is made: "For the
- ?
benefit of your church, under
the direction of the Trustees,"
As pastor of the Prospect church,
please allow me to say that the
above statement is not only unauthorized
but utterly repudiated
and condemned by that
church, and is regarded as a
cunningly devised scheme to entrap
the unwary and by the apparent
sanction of the church,
increase the receipts of the
parties having charge of the
show. Thomas J. Clyde.
Leo, S. C., July 22,1907.
