Large Crowd (lathered to lelebralc; lempletion ot New School Building. Mood1. Oecembtr 2u:?On Decv ember 1 our graded school building' ' was completed and turned over to the trustees ready for occupancy. On the same day the school was opened with an enrollment of ^0 pu-| pils It: charge of the teachers, Miss' Mary Gibson of Richburg and Miss Glennie Wood ham of Hartsville. i The completion of this new school! 1 *1 1 1 * - r .. . i _ . ouuuiug urines %?? rumou me long , cherished hope <.,f those of our poo-! pie who are interested in the mental training and culture of the younger generation and have made sacriliees, to give larger opportunities for the education of the children of this community. It was a proud day for Moody wheu the new building became an actuality and an impetus has been given to local educational conditions that must crystallize into au lnnuence 01 perniaueut >aiu<r. ^ Teachers and pupils, as well as the H patrons, have caught the esprit du A corps and entered upon their work with great zeal and enthusiasm. Last Friday night in the school . building a very enjoyable entertainment was given, which was participaled in by a great many people, both vonng and old, of our commun|B ity and all seemed to have a good time. At 7 o'clock the crowd beI gan to gather and supper was served at 7:30. The tables, and the impromptu dining hall as well, were decorated with evergreens, ferns, wild smilax and Christmas berries, . all iu^their pristine beauty and ' verdure, while the festive board fairly groaued with all the dehcacieB of the season in bountiful profusion and variety, prepared with that culinary skill for which the good housewives of this community are justly famous. For dessert there were served mauy kinds of delicious fruits and other toothsome and appetizing comestibles. Besides the supper quite a lot of fancy articles were sold, one of the prettiest being a beautiful sofapillow, the haudiwork of the fair principal of the school. Miss Mary Gibson. This beautiful and artistic creation was sold to the highest bidder and brought the handsome sum of $37.50. Several cakes were also raffled off, and all of them brought 8"tisfactory prices.? The crab buc furnished amusement! for the children who were present. Sweet mnsie was disconrsed for the occasion by Miss liertie ^ Flowers and Mr W J Parker of Andrews. The proceeds of the entertain:,. t ment amounted to $102.50 which, L% after deducting the necessary e?n pease will be applied to the equipment of the new school f building. The writer heard several old IHpf gentlemen present remark that this entertainment was quite the pleasantest that they had ever attended. The crowd assembled I** numbered about 250 people and the silly misbehavior which so J often, mars the pleasure of similar occasions was conspicuous by its absenoe. There were people present frrtm ocoptf r?arf nf lrtWPr Williams burg and without any unseemly ^ boasting we may say that all went away impressed with the hospitality of our people and with a lively appreciation of a social event that would have reflected credit on \ any community in our graud oid Palmetto State.

"Do you know there seems to have been a little falling oft in the work of tlie otlice for the last month? No catastrophe or anything of that sort, you know, l??it the standard of ouiciency seems to have lowered just a little. 1 merely wanted to call your attention to it. Nothing more. Nice day. isn't it ?" "Say, iBrunuer,'" said tin? general manager to the otlice manager, "do you know your ol'iee foree is tailing down? Well, it is. For the period just passed there has been a drop in your system that made considerable trouble. I'd jerk somebody up if 1 were you. A hint to the wise, you know." "Wilson," said the otlice manager to the chief clerk, "come here. I want to tell you one thing, and that is that there's got to be a change in the way things are going around this dump. Do you hear me? What's the matter? What'6 the matter! That's a fine question from IT*1 I J 1 Il_ ? _ XI you: \> nai isn i ine mauer is me proper thing to ask. Things have been going to the dogs for a month past. I'm not laying the fault at your door?all of it anyhow?but you know what that means, falling down. Get a hustle on you, now, and see that your clerks don't keep falling down or?I leave the rest to your imagination." "Say, you prize mutts," said the chief clerk to his underlings, "do you know what's going to happen to about half a dozen of you? You're going to get decorated with a large, shiny tin can if you don't smoke up and do better work than you've been guilty of for the last month. You've been working like a lot of sewer diggers. I never saw anything to beat vou?for the cellar champion ship. Now, get busy and do things, and do them right. I'd hate to have to recommend a wholesale canning stunt, but?you know what I'm here for." The clerks went humbly back to their desks. Out to them came the office boy with a grin on his face. "Say," he began, but three voices cut him short. "Blank, blank, blank you!" said the voices. "You little runt! Why don't you tend to your business, so we can get things done right?" Then they all took a kick at him and went back to work satisfied. "Gee," said the office boy, rubbing his sore spots and eying the president's office, "gee, but that call down certainly traveled some!" rh rrr\ TriKnno VlliVU^V X 1 XL/ V4-L1V . Rest After Meals. Ilurried eating of meals, followed immediately by some employment that occupies the whole attention and takes up all or nearly all of the physical energies, is suie to result in dyspepsia in one form or another. Sometimes it shows itself in excessive irritability, a sure indication that nerve force has been exhausted. The double draft, in order to digest the food and carry on the business, has been more than nature could stand without being thrown out of balance. Nature does not do two things at a time and do both well as a rule. All know that when a force is divided it is weakened. If the meal were eaten slowly, without preoccupation of the mind, and the stomach allowed at least half an hour's chance to get its work well undertaken before the nervous force were turned in another direction patients suffering from dyspepsia would be comparatively few.?
