Death of Old Lady-Tribute lo a Noble
Calling-Personal.
(Received too late for last week's is^ue.)
Lake City, December .'J:?Mr G L
Sauls has gone to the North to buy
goods and will be away until Thursday
of this week.
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

was in town one day last week on j <
business. 1'
The most unselfish workers, the j1
greatest patriots, the truest leaders,;'
are our school-teachers. 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.

And the chimney

its ponderous jaws.
The little stockings are
all hung up, and baby's

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

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.
This week closes our first term of
three months and briugs to us the
much dreaded examinations. Teach,
ers and pupils alike are seriously
busy.
We regret very much to lose the
