NoticeA
receut ruling of the postoflice
department requires publishers
of weekly newspapers to
discontinue all subscriptions
that are one year or more behind.
We are allowed until April,
to comply with this requirement,
after which time all subscriptions
not paid to April 1
1907 (or beyond that date) will
be cut off. We have no choice
in'the matter, being compelled
to conform to the regulations of
the postofflce department.
Now, we ask all our subscrib/
ers who are in arrears and want
the paper continued, to come up
and settle their accounts before
April 1, w hile those delinquents
who do not care to have
the paper any more will confer
a favor to notify us and at the
same time pay what they owe
foi past service. We ask that
nrrtmr\f u tfonfirm Krforivpn tr?

this matter, as there is but little
time for delay.

to work conscientiously to j
I please. The band of twelve!
pieces is an excellent one and
the male quartettes are excep1
tionally good. v
They did not receive the patI
ronage they deserved but the
majority of those who attended
. were well pleased with the performance.

Excursions on Beautiful Black River.
Kingstree, S. C., April 16.
The gasoline boat, the "Mer,cedes"
has just returned from a
a trio to Georgetown and will
be ready on all week days to
take pleasure parties on trips
up and down the beautiful Black
river and to pleasant picnic
grounds and flowing artesian
wells. Price is reasonable: only
25 cents for a ride of many mil^s
on the bosom of one of the lovliest
streams.
Parties in the country can
arrange datef to visit our attractive
little city and others
can come by railroad. Arrangements
may perhaps be made for
the local train to stop at the
railroad bridge near the picnic
grounds and an artesian well of
fine water, or they may get off
at Kingstree depot and a short
walk of four blocks will bring
them to the river, where the
boat will take either up or down
stream for the small sum of 25
cents. Those not pleased with
the trip may have their money
back.
I guarantee my boat to be safe
and strainer and can mike a
speed of tea miles an hour.
Come and enjoy yourselves
and take a dary of recreation
and rest. You will wish to come
again.
Lemonade and ice cream can>
be served on the grounds. Fine
bathing places and shallowwater
on white sand banks for
the children to wade in.
Write me that you are coming.
