All About a 'Possum.
Oar usually alert Lake City j
correspondent is guilty of the'
foil woing ambiguity this week:
"Another man in town likes 'possum
too. He is fattening one now.

beet to find out when thie fellow is
to be routed, bnt hare failed miserably".
Now we submit that the excerpt
* enclosed in quotation marks is eqairocal
to the last degree.
The two preceding substantives
are man and 'possum. Then comes
this significant sentence: "We're
been doing our best to find out
when t^is fellow is to be roastWho
is "this iellow," the
'possum or the man? By the
context we should judge that
I
the man is the antecedent referred
to, and we would suggest
to onr amiable friend that be
"roast" him throngh the columns
of The Record, rather than
literally grill him on a gridiron.
Another point of argument to
strengthen the case against our
Lake City scribe, which proves
beyc^d the shadow oi a shade of
donbt that the proposed roasting
referred to the man and not the
'possum, is the use of that self-same.

the true richness of this
denizen of the forest he. should ;
first be singed (or ? "swinged"), .
* then cooked so "done" that all
the bones can be extracted. When
this is accomplished, then the next 1
step in the culinary process is to
shred it so that every fibre
stands apart. Then, as Bob Taylor
says, "You may talk about

"When it comes to the subject
of 'possum we fear our Lake

Oscar II., King of Sweeden,
died last Sunday in the royal
apartment of the palace. The
highest tribute to his worth was
the cry of the assembled multitude
of his subjects when the
colors on his palace turret were
lowered to halt-mast: "Our dear
old king is dead."
The death of Col. William Elliott,
which occurred last week at
Beaufort, will be mourned by his
many friends and admirers in Williamsburg
county. Col. Elliott was
a gallant Confederate soldier and
the work he did for his State?
especially the coast country?in
time of peace did much to en.
hance his distinguished service in
*
upholding the honor of the Confederate
flag in time of war.
