"The snow, the snow, the beautiful snow". But it doesn't look very beautiful when old "Sol" gets a I whack at it for a day or two. Col B Wallace Jones and Mr B Wallace Jones, Jr., of Lake City! spent Mondav in town and favored our sanctum with an agreeable visit. 1 !

The Southern Ruralist and The Record one year each for $1.25 is our best clubbing: offer. If you want a high class farm paper a whole year for only twenty-five cents, this is your chance Let us work and stimulate every legitimate enterprise by giving: it all the friendly encouragement we can, and unite our industry, intelligence and capital in a common cause for the good of our town. Rev F H Wardlaw and Mr Rob Ervin, of the Indiantown Church section, braved the elements and came to town yesterday. It was a pretty severe drive over eighteen or twenty miles of bad roads. An elegant hot supper was served at the Nelson House last Friday evening. Though gotten up on very short notice, it was well patronized. The proceeds, amounting to $21.50, were devoted to the Williamsburg: Cemetery association. Mr Summers of Columbia, general manager of the Western Union Telegraph company for South Carolina, was here Monday and examined the local office. He found everything correct and highly commended the popular young operator, Miss Judith G Lifrage, When you pay your subscription, whether a new or old subscriber, you are entitled to sixty coupons for premiums offered under our arrangement with the Chattanooga Specialty Co. Don't fail to ask for coupons if you want any of the premiums advertised. No greater injury can be done fl teacher than to condemn her at home in the presence of pupils. There are many?they usually allude to a teacher as school-marm?who persist in believing and encouraging that a cr?Hnr>] fppphpr is npvpr tn Hp regarded with other than suspicion. L W Gilland, Esq.'s handsome dwelling in North Academy street is going up rapidly under the direction of the energetic contractor, Mr J W Huggins. When completed this will be one of the prettiest and most comfortable residences in town. Let the good work go on! You can begin to teach a child to take pride in his or her home town very early in life. Explain to them how it detracts from the beauty and value of a town to disfigure its sidewalks. Let them feel that they have a great responsibility in keeping up the pride of their town. Children like to feel that they are important. On account of the miserable weather for the past week we have not been able to get around much , to chase "locals," consequently this j column is not so full of local news) as we should like to have it. If our friends would ring up "phone 83," and give us local items we should feel especially grateful in weather like this. / Mr Thos McCutchen spent several days last week in Richmond, Va, buying stock for the Williamsburg Live Stock Co. We are gratified to learn from Mr McCutchen that Mr James C Dobbin, whose friends in this county are legion, is much improved from his recent attack of illness. All hope that "Jim's" relief is permanent. Any newspaper is the companion and friend of the family, but the local paper is one identifiod with the interests of the home. It is con-1 ducted by those whom you know.; Its columns are filled with what is i of special value to you. In its pros- j perity you have a vital interest, and to its prosperity you can best con- i tribute by giving your support and patronage. Mr W E Blackwell of Salters Depot j pave us a sample pound of his butter j last week. Mr Blackwell has a herd ' of fine milch cows and makes more ! butter than his family can use. Occasionally he comes over here with some to sell. Judging from the; excellence of the sample presented; us, we advise any one to do so who j has the chance to buy Mr BlackweU's j butter. We had no idea such a fine J quality of butter was produced in 1 Williamsburg county. I I me creditors oi WiiKins' Wholesale Grocery Company met here last Tuesday, a majority being: represented. YV L Douglas of Charleston was elected trustee. A composition of twei ty-live per cent was ofTereil and most of the creditors, we understand, signified their willingness to settle on that basis. So we hope soon to see "YV T" doing businnss at the old stand. The snow-fall Saturday and Saturday night conservatively esti| mated, is the heaviest "within the mpmnrv nf the oldest inhabitant". On the level it averaged at least eleven inches before it began melting and drifts piled up several feet high in some places. It was the prettiest, cleanest snow-fall we have seen in these parts in many ai day, but, oh, the slush afterward! One of the best and brightest things we can give is kind wor is. They have well been likened to the < bright flowers of earth's existence. Use them everywhere, but especially around the fireside; they will make a paradise out of a hovel, i Nothing can heal a wounded heart, or cheer a crushed spirit like kind words. Let us not be so careful how we use them, for they are the greatest blessing earth can give. Every one who re-visits Kingstree after an absence of some- length j marvels at the town's growth and up-building. It is a fact that our town has made wonderful strides) within the past decade, and the best, part of it is that the growth and development has been due almost entirely to local capital. Much) credit for the town's up-building? j more perhaps than to any other agencies?is to be given to the local j banks and the Kingstree Building & Loan Association. With three liberal banks and a live Building & Loan Association a town cannot help hut crow. ----- ( If there were no women, men would have no object in life; their mustaches would cease to interest, them; they would not care a China- j man whether their collars were; ironed or not; they would have no-; body to nurse them when they had , the toothache, or to keep them from believing they were going to die' when an old-fashioned stomach-ache ' had the grip upon them. There, would be nobody to take for ice, cream and no small edition of flesh j and blood to hug. There would be; nobody to fight; against being kissed and then take to it as naturally as the cat does to cream.

CO STEMMERY ASSURED?NEW DEPOT BUILDING PROJECTED. Lake City, February 14:- Dr Edwin MrVpil Pnfpflt nrpsidont of Furman University and an eminent! Baptist divine, preached in the Lake City Baptist church last Friday evening to a large congregation. He chose as his text John: III, 16: "For Cod so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Dr Pcteat developed his text with wonderful simplicity and true eloquence and presented many new thoughts and ideals that were suggested to him from this much quoted Scriptural verse. It were futile to undertake to reproduce this wonderful sermon. Negotiations have been closed for the purchase of a lot on Acline avenue on which there is to be erected a $50,000 steam stemmery and dry tobacco plant. This lot,formerly the property of Mr B Wallace Jones,was sold for a most reasonable sum by way of inducement for the upbuild ing of the town and the promotion of the tobacco enterprise of this place. Side tracks are to be built from the main line of the A C L R R running up to and through the building, where cars may be loaded with the greatest facility. This enterprise will be owned, operated and maintained by the Imperial Tobacco Co, of Great Britain and Ireland, who have been represented here for the past ten years by Mr L A Winston, who is alive to the possibilities of the market and is doing all that is within his power to bring this matter to a finality. The plant will consist of one building, which, with its machinery and equipment, will cost in excels of 550,000 and which, it is expected,, will be in full operation when the market opens hert? next summer, employing several hundred workmen at good wages. Enterprises of this nature and magnitude show an abiding faith in Lake City as the leading tobacco market of the State and are indeed encouraging to all who have the best interests of this hustling little city at heart. It is rumored on the streets that; Lake City is soon to have a new | brick depot, although there has been no official announcement to this effect from the "powers that be." However, great interest is being manifested and it is hoped that io cnmo truth in th<? rpnnrt. There seem to be two sides to the question of this proposed new station,and it is reported that there are some who favor waiving: the town | ordinance as to repairing wooden buildings within the fire limits and remodeling the present wooden structure with such additions as are necessary for the prompt and effic- ( ient handling of freight, baggage and passengers, and waiting till the town comes nearer to its ultimate growth and then building a depot more in accordance with the size and business of the town. Others incline to the view that this "Gateway to Opportunity" is quite large 1 enough now to afford a handsome ' and new brick depot with all modern i conveniences and that it may be i enlarged when business conditions The Implement Co.,; RICHMOND.
