We had the pleasure of a visit last

We find it necessary to remind our I
friends that we do not publish obit- I
uaries, tributes of respect or other
personal notices free. We of course
make no charge for printing the
death of anyone as news. But there r
is a vast deal of difference between c
a news item and an obituary or a s
tribute of respect. Sometimes the s
latter are received a year after the ^
death of the person referred to.

gentlemen and we can cheerfully *
vouch for their business integrity, c
We bespeak for this concern the consideration
of our readers.

up in Gorrell's warehouse,where
they have since conducted most successfully
a big fire sale, disposing of
all their damaged stock at greatly

Cleaning Up Day.
Through the president of the Civ- J
c league we are requested to an- 1
lounce that Friday, March 28, has !
>een designated as a general cleanng
up day in Kingstree, and it is
loped that every property owner
ind resident in town, white and coljred,
will observe the same by givng
their premises a thorough overruling,
and "setting their house in
Drder" for the reception of a glorious
spring.
From many sources it has been j
predicted that, owing to the very 1
mild winter season, general health ,
conditions are going to be bad dur- :
ing the spring and summer, and in ;
dew of the information it is the ur- <
g^ent duty of every citizen to join
hands with the Civic league next
Friday and help put the town in a ?
clean, sanitary condition.
-Millinery Openings.
Yesterday was opening day in the
millinery departments of Mr S Marcus.the
Kingstree Dry Goods Co and
at the Kennedy Millinery store. Tbe
day was by no means a propitious
one for the occasion, it being cloudy
and rainy throughout, but notwithstanding
the inclement conditions, a
large number from town and a few
from the country ventured out to
see the pretty displays of Easter
millinery and note the fetching little
Tam-o'-shanters m crash materials
of many colors,with a single feather
towering up some 10 or 12 inches
and forming a perfect interrogate
point (?).
Everything in ladies' headwea
this season seems to be new excep
perhaps the large brim hat with i
correspondingly large oval crown
and even this must be set off with i
Bulgarian ribbon artistically ar
ranged to be in style, The styles ar
all much smaller than a year ag<
have a highly tailored appearance.
The display of spring dress goods
and embroideries is the most elabo'
rate and beautiful ever shown ir
Kingstree. The laces are also ver^
dainty and exquisite in design, es
pecially the "shadow" variety.
We will refund your railroad fart
from any point within fifty miles ol
Florence if your purchases with us
amount to $25.00 or more.
