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

miles from town, brought us
some sugarcane which is certainly
very fine. 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."

married Tuesday afternoon at
the home of the bride's father,
