Lake City, July 25:?Messrs J F McFaddin and L C Dove were noted here last Friday from Kingstree. The formal opening of the Lake City tobacco market took place on Thursday, the 20th instant. More * J_ I ? * than seventy-five thousand pounusi were sold, and the prices realized averaged six and three-fourths cents per pound. This price is regarded as an indication that high prices for the weed will obtain throughout the season, the prices at this sale being very much higher than in former years. Up to this date more than a quarter of a million pounds have been sold upon this market. All the leading tobacco companies are represented here, and in addition,there are quite a number of independent buyers. The warehouses have full corps of auctioneers, book-keepers, checkers, etc. and everything is in i order for handling all the tobacco that will come. Miss Ruth Williams gave a progressive domino" party last Thursday from 6 to 9 o'clock, in honor of Misses Helen and Leah Townsend, Ruby McCleningham and Esther' Sessoms of Forence, who are visit-1 ing at Mrs H 0 S Jackson's. The j refreshment, consisting of ice cream and cake, was served by Misses j Gretchen Bass and Leone Williams. > I Mrs Ida G Joyner and children; are on Sullivan's Island for somei weeks. Mr J L Stuckey vowed, in a fit of j wrath, in the ocean he would take a bath;and Saturday night went South as far as Charleston for the purpose of carrying out his threat. Miss Sallie Bass entertained a few guests at dinner Thursday, complimentary to her cousin, Miss Emma' Bass of Latta. Miss Lora Rogers of .Conway, Ark, is here on a visit to her uncle, Mr M M Rogers, and his family. This is the first time Miss Rogers j has ever been to the natal land of her ancestors, her father having j moved to Arkansas before she was, born. Mrs Jane Kelley, relict of the late Mr Thomas Kelley, died Saturday last, and was buried Sunday afternoon in the Baptist church-yard at this place. She was quite an old lady and her death was not unexpected. Mrs Kelley was the mother of Mr Madze B Morris. i igi :@:@:?:?:?.?:?:@:?:<?

Otherwise i ? i r what would be its condition around j ^ the Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island about the close of the summer? j j, Mr L M Belk, last Monday, got v seventy-four hampers of pepper; a from his patch of three-fourths of 1 an acre. Understand, this was only c one picking, and the plants will con- ^ tinue to bear until frost. This pep-;. y per is for market, not home con-1 ^ sumption. i ? Mr Lexos Lawrence died at his home near Prospect last Thursday j and was buried Friday. He was a L son of the late Dr I N Lawrence \ and was a young man in the prime ^ of life. Some two years ago that f mysterious malady known as pellagra developed upon and in him. After several months in the State 1 hospital he returned apparently c much improved, but the improvement was only superficial, and he t - - I succumbed. In character, life, hab-J' its and influence few young men are r the equal of Mr Lawrence and none 1 his superior. It almost seems the r irony of fate that such a young man t should be given over to what seems 1 a terrible death, while so many worthless pimps live on. "He s knoweth best," however,and it were * well to inquire no further. 1 Mr A P Hatchell, whose home is c now near Effingham, was in town * last week with his daughter, Mary. 1 Mr Hatchell was in a hospital in At- v lanta about two months this summer and he does no seem to be fit for a 1 prize fight yet.

In Memoriam Whereas, our beloved President nd co-worker, Miss Pearl Graham, as called on June 15,1911,from her laster's work here below in this Luxiliary H M S at Bethesda church, o a sphere of greater usefulness in he world beyond the skies; we, belg deeply grieved by her death, deire to express our great sorrow. 'herefore be it resolved: First: That in her death each of j s has felt keenly our loss, and the mxiliary has lost one to whom it! as ever looked as its President since ;s organization. She never failed us,; ut constantly endeavored to do her i est and no one loved the Word l etter than she. Second: That we extend our deep-j at sympathy to her parents, sisters nd brothers, who have suffered ir-1 eparable loss, and would prayerfuly commend them to the love and omfort of a Divine Father, Whose :oodness and loving kindness cannot >e questioned. May they look back rith loving thoughts on her life with hem and believe that God gave her o them to draw them closer to Him - - " ? ? . J_ ! nd that she now iar exceeds ner i weet and beautiful girlhood in the eauty of a glorious immortality in he heavenly home, where our Savour is gathering His jewels: All the bright ones; All the pure ones; His loved and his own. Third: That copies of these resoiitions be inscribed in our minutes, ind also sent to her family, and hat the Southern Christian Advoate and The County Record be askd to publish them.
