Spring Bank, March 13:?Friday evening, February 28, the pupils of ' Spring Bank school gave some inter-' esting exercises in honor of George f Washington. Owing to unavoidable I circumstances the exercises were | given a week later than intended, but this did not lessen the appreciation of a large audience. The programme consisted of recitations, _ -11 i ?^ o wen Known pauiuuc suuga aim a play: "George Washington's Sixth Birthday." The play was presented almost entirely by the younger pupils of the school, and all of the juvenile actors acquitted themselves well. The hero, "George," and his servant, "Billy," deserve especial mention. In the rendition of the whole programme the children showed marked ability and splendid training. The community was also given the opportunity of hearing some beautiful music, Mr S D Carr, of Minnesota, gave a short recital. It is on-! ly on rare occasions that tho^ living J so far from a city can enjoy the ? 1 ----- ? rtbillA/1 WMICM/MOVl Of i pictV 111^ U1 a 9MUCU uiuoiuiau aw home, and Mr Carr's exquisite music was appreciated to the utmost. Besides the beautiful old classic selections, Mr Carr played several of his own compositions, demonstrating his ability as a composer as well as a pianist. Mr W H Carr of Kingstree sang, to the delight of all present. Miss Lena Padgett of Atlanta, who has been visiting her sister,Mrs J F Williamson near here, spent the week-end with Miss Belva Broad- j way. Mr Olin Welch of Kingstree spent Sunday in this community. The many friends of Mr Warren L Burgess are glad to see him out again after a severe case . of smallpox.

Hebron, March 17:?We believe that the rainfall in this community since last Thursday has been as great as,if not greater than,we have ever seen. It will be several days before any plowing can be done, and we are fearful that there will be bad stands of beans, as it is almost sure to turn cold alter an tne rain we have had. We are glad to hear that the sick of our community are all improving and we hope that the smailpox will not become epidemic through our community. We would like to say a few words to the readers of the dear old Couuty Record. While we feel somewhat embarrassed to say anything along this line, yet we were very much struck when we read an article by the editor relative to what the law, or the Postoftice Department, requires of him, as the editor or manager of a paper. We were somewhat surprised when we read it. We saw there how strict the law of the department is with him, and also how, through his kindness towards some of us readers of the dear paper,he, the editor,had, or has, laid himself liable to indictment. Now, dear readers of The Record, let us see that we will not let or allow our kind editor to fnrtner endanger himself in this matter. I know that we don't mean 10 ill-treat our editor, but it is just a/ittle indifference on our part. Dear readers and subscribers,let us come up like men and treat our good editor as we would have him treat us under similar circumstances. and I'll assure you that we will all feel better, for 1 feel that he is giving us his best service of which he is capable, and we should all remember that our editor has | been unable to work the most of last year. I With best wishes for a prosperous year to us all,along all lines of busi Ai Iav IltfSS, uvl., A County Fair. Editor County Record: ? We commend your efforts in behalf of a county fair. Williamsburg's natural resources are not surpassed by any county in the State. We can produce quantity, quality and variety. We should organize an association at once and advertise the possibilities of our lands and our splendid farmers. The county fair is the best means at hand for this work,and it would pay us indirectly in a thousand ways. E C Epps. Belated Locals.

Resolutions of RespectWhereas, God in His wise and merciful providence, has removed from us our sister and friend, Mrs Louis Jacobs.

In a circular letter sent you recently I asked you to send me as soon as practicable the names of contestants from Your several schools. While 1 am sure quite a number of our schools will be represented. as yet only one teacher has complied with the request. The exercises will begin at the Lanes school house with the literary j features at 11:4.") a. m. From 2 to. I 2:80 dinner will be served. The afj ternoon until " :80 will be devoted to ! the athletic features. i If the day is pleasant I expect al large number of visitors, and while ' the Lanes people expect to have din- i ner for us. 1 suggest that it would j not be unwise for visitors, especially j the children, to take lunch with them, in view of the late hour for dinner. For the convenience of the schools in the eastern section of the county Mr Mitchell is making arrangements for a special train to run from Johnsonville to Lanes. I sincerely hope all your schools will be represented in these contests, and that you will do what you can to make this first field day for the lower grades of our schools a pleasant and profitable one.

The Beauiy Spot of the Mountains In Western North ? arolina there is a section of country known the world over on account of the wonderful scenery, tine climate and the clever, accommodating mountain people. They have provided nice hotels and boarding houses, and almost every farm home has thrown open its doors to the people of the low lands at rates that are so low almost ' any one can afford to spend a few days or a few weeks among these kind-heart- j ed mountain people. This section is known as Cherry Rock, j' and is reached either by way of Rutherfordton, over the Seaboard Air Line, or Hendersonville, over the Southern railroad. From Asheville onecan make tne trip, but it is longer. A great many editors have gone to view the wonders of this section, and we briefly quote from long articles written by them appearing in a few of the many mentions made of this region. Raleigh News and Observer:?"Here, with lofty mountains on each hand and the most pictnresque see tery east of the Rockies, we. a party of editors, have met to see for ourselves and tell the world something of the real grandeur and sublimity. "It is a revelation, and yet how many are willing to live aud die without putting forth one effort to view this wondrous scenery." Norfolk Virginian.?"At every turn of the road as we approach, the moun tains unfold panorama like, displaying wild grandeur almost appalling and yet fascinating in the extreme. The outlook was superb beyond description " Richmond Times: ? "Hickory Nut Gap is the most picturesque section of country to be found throughout the Appalachia i chain. To attempts description of the great gray peaks, overlooking roaring cataracts and smiling vales below,would be but sacrilege." Charlotte Observer:?"Toe shades of night were tailing as we arew near our destination. The harvest m<>on hung in the sky as we rounded Chimney Rock. At our right was Old Baldy,under whose gigantic cliffs we insignificant mortals were creeping along. The river sang a vesper hymn, and it seemed as if nature were offering her evening prayer to the Creator. But it is useless to describe the beauties of this region. Go and see them for yourself." Wilmington Review"It was up hill and down dale; now in the valley shut in by high hills, and anon skirting the brow of a precipice hundreds of feet above plain beneath. The country between Rutherfordton and Chimney Rock is beautiful. "We stood upon the summit of the rugged and picturesque Chimney, the eye taking in the peaks of a hundred magnificent mountains. The view is simply sublime." ? - * ' ^ * v ufm i 4. _ Kichmona Luspaicn:? mere isma ? missing element in this beautiful mountain scenery. No language can depict the grandeur of the scenery.
