HEW SCHOOL BUILDING COMPLETEDF4NCT PRICES PAID FOR DIRT LOCAL ||iO PERSONAL Lake City, November 11:~ Mrs. Beatric Pratber, who spent several weeks here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Jones, has gone to her home in Fernandina, Fla. The new school house has been completed and was occupied by teachers and pupils last v Monday. The building was received about a week ago, but the furniture did not arrive until Saturday. The structure is of simple but handsome and tasty design, and the interior is even more attractive than the exterior. There are eight large class rooms, an anditorium, music room, superintendent's office, four halls and two stair* ways. The beating wilPbcby furnace in the basement. Coal heaters will be used until the fh* furnace and radiators be in. stalled. Miss Be mice Hinnant, who is accomplished in both th#-rtheory and practice, has b&Selected tescher of music. 0 Tt is makes the number of teach* ?rs seven, and the horde of ^ children who gather before them each will keep their heads and hearts and hands very, very busy. Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Oliver, whose home is in Florida, are , ont on a visit to parents of the latter, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Thomas. And now we are ready for 'i'ht nl.o rr!

A good many farmers to whom it was shown say it is the best they ever saw. It measured eight feet, and one stalk went over eight feet. This was after the sappy top and roots had been remdved. The stalks are of splendid size, smooth, long-jointed and as symmetrical as could be imagined. The variety is the blue ribbor cane, which has the reputation of being the best grown, and Braveboy has a third of an acre which will average over seven feet. This shows two things, to wit: that Moore's X Roads has land good enough for anybody and that a negro can farm when he tries. The Kingstree corresponded of the News & Courier, in an article in that paper one day last week, speaking of the sale of the William Thompson place the first Monday for $25.50 the acre, said that trucking lands around Lake City would, if for sale. bring even more than that Yes, he was very correct. Last week a Diece of land near town. that is intended for trucking, bat is not highly improved, changed hands at $90 per acre, and we know of farms in this section that would bring $100, $150 and $200 for every acre in them. There is a little 42 acre tract which $8,000 could not buy, and there is a 300 acre place three miles from here for which its owner refused $18,000. Land around this town is simply "out of sight." W.

Miss Evelyn Cunningham and Mr Philip H Stoll were quietly married Tuesday afternoon at the home of the bride's father, Dr J S Cunningham, near Indian* town postoffice, by Bev E E Brvin, of the Kingstree Presbvterian church. Only a few of the near relatives of the contracting parties were present. Mr and Mrs Stoll immediately after the ceremony came to Kingstree and took up their residence on Railroad avenue at the home of Mrs J E Brockinton, with whom they will board. i Fir i Worthy Cause.
