Mr A II Shephard, freight claim agent of the A ( Line and whose office is iu Wilmington, spent last Wednesday iu town. ? L Hirsch, Esq, came up from Kingstree Monday on business. Miss Birnice' Biss of Latta visited at her kinsman's, Mr W L Bass's last week. Mr J Abrams attended the great automobile races in Savannah last Thursday. He was delighted with the trip and says that every one of the immense throng seemed to most thoroughly enjoy the show. This was the greatest event of its kind ever held in America. Mr J M Matthews has our most hearty thanks for a bag of very fine potatoes. None are record breakers but each one is a perfect gem. Taking the entire lot, they will average about five pounds each, and do not vary more than eight or ten ouncesHe did not cull the field to pick out the largest but gathered average size potatoes. This gives a good idea of the fine crop he made. # That Camp Branch 'possum was no myth. He materialized all right Wednesday and made one of the ^ leading parts of a Thanksgiving < dinner. He was very large and fat < and juicy, and the memory of him 1 lingers still like the memory of a r\nn nf *V>?> L-ind that, i UlCcUII v/ll V VI vuv niMM v..m,w wakes you up hugging yourself, j t Those (,'atnp Hranth fliends certain- , Jy have our never fading gratitude.

We do not |1 mean those v%lio are "teaching*' on a; still hunt for husbands, nor those j who are employing this profession as a stepping-stone to something else; but we mean the genuine teachers, ; those whose hearts and souls and j bodies are in the work. The future of the nation is in their hands; the ! civilization of the coining years will j he of their making. Yet we treat j them as menials and pay them the wages of ignorant servants. In other things we insist upon getting the, lest: when we come to secure these j moulders of character, of life and of eternity uv want the cheapest. Is; this Sensible!" I Please pardon the writer for again | reminding the readers of The Record of the Southern Express Company. We hope none of the readers of this column were so forgetful of sincerity as to return thanks on last Thursday for the existence of that concern in this country. Mrs Sarah M Morris died last Tuesday night at the residence of her son, Mr J J Morris. She was eighty-one years of age, and her death was due to senile debility. She was a woman of splendid character and blameless?a true "mother in Israel.'' ller sous are: Mr J J Morris mentioned above, Rev T E MorMorns and Mr Henry Morris. One of her sons, Rev T E Morris, and a grandson, Rev S C Morris, are well known members of the S C Methodist Conference. W. L. B. C P tj JL Our Christmas Tree. 0, 0111 Christmas tree so bright and green, /U.I (IWUllS VIU Santa Claus, And the chimney place all swept and clean gapes wide its ponderous jaws. The little stockings are all hung up, and baby's just makes four. Won't old Santa Claus be surprised when he finds there is one more! There's an elegant place up in the tree to hang Johnny's gun, and a place for May and one for Kate to leave their dolls upon. But for little baby blue eyes a lower branch we must choose, where she may reach and find the place he's hung her first new shoes. Turn down the light a little now, so Old Santa Claus can see, and come softly down to the Xmas tree and 8 e e Who will get the first Peep. ?Ex. k/\V%*%V*WV%V%V\WWVWW? f Union High School. J ^vwwwwv%wwwwv*v%V?> Rome, December 5:?The comedy Topsv Turvv," presented by the eachers of the high school and a mmber of young men of the commulity Thursday evening, November >0, was a grand success. Almost ?very seat 111 the spacious auditorium ivas taken. From a radius of 25 miles the people came in twos and fours. A goodly part from Georgetown were nresent and Kingstree, Indiantown, Johnsonville, Lambeit, Venters, Morrisville, Hhems, Choppee. Eddy?all were rej>resented. After the play refreshments were served in the commodious and comfortable Kuights of Pythias hall 011 the second floor of the new building. A large table enclosing a half square and seating fifty guests was filled time and again. One of the moat attractive features of the evening was the new acetylene gas lights just installedThirty burners made the building as brilliant as day. Much of the success of the evening is due to MiLewis Ponotoski, who labored day and night to install the plant by Thursday fvening. The match was applied to the burner at 6:45 for the ! first time, at 7 the doors were opened and not one flickering of the light the entire evening. Prof Mitchell quite fittingly paid a deserved tribute to Mr Ponoioski by publicly I extending to him and his helper the tk.ir.bo n( tlio frrnatpos and natrons j tuauno vi. i>uv v? ^ | for his untiring, faithful service. Quite a handsome sum was realized for the benefit of the school. Many thanks are due the ladies ot the community who contributed the refreshments and the talented amateurs,who presented the play,as well.
