Santa Claus Letters,
Tiie Santa Claus letters are coming
in by almost every mail, but
we haven't near so many yet as
we should like to have. The final
limit for these letters to l?e available

is Tuesday noon of next week; so,
get to work, children, if you want
^ . s>i
to write to Santa ciaus.
No, ''Anxiour Inquirer," the

The heated municipal campaign
in Georgetown resulted in the reelection
of Mayor Andrews and his
ticket last Tuesday. The opposing
faction had out a mighty good ticket,
but the corporation forces were
\ too many for them. At the same
time the outcome of the contest is
somewhat surprising to a "looker-on
in Vienna."
According to the press reports the
presents received by Miss Jessie
Wilson, the "White House bride,"
are valued at $2.">0,(HX). Had the
father of the bride retained his po
sition as president of Princeton College,
Miss Jessie would doubtless
have rejoiced and been %glad to receive
presents amounting to $1,0()0
in value. Is the difference to l>e
credited to patriotism, or debited to

We want to get out our Christmas

miscarry, the paper will be about

Needless to say, this requires a good
amount of extra work and*we must
have the copy on hand in time. For
several weeks past we have delayed
issuing the paper trying to accom

too, whose copy came

Like City, December 2:?The
ten-year-old son of Mr and Mrs I X
Tinnnons, who reside near I^ke
I City, was bitten yesterday afternoon
1 - t L:- _:_u, l?K..
on tne inumD ox ms rigm uwm uj
a stray dog. The wound was immediately
cauterized and a physician
summoned. In the meantime the
dog was killed and his head brought
here, from which place it was sent
last night to the State l>oard of
health in Columbia for an examination.
It is hoped that the dog was
not infected with rabies, but the
risk of there being such infection
warranted the parents in taking
every precaution possible.
Messrs G L Sauls, S \Y Gowdy,
John Kennedy, J A Green, 0 T
Hall and others were in Florence
last Monday, salesday. Mr Sauls
became the purchaser of the Baker
estate, which was the tract of 1">0

Mr R E Currin, a well-known, tobacco
buyer, and Mr M K Graveley,
owner of the Graveley warehouse,
were in town recently with their
relatives. Messrs Currin and Gravely
predict the l>est season vet for
Lake City, with respect to prices on
tobacco. It seems that there is a
short season on in both North Carolina
and Kentucky, and there will
be a greater demand than ever for
our tobacco. It goes without saying
that Lake City will again strive,
and without very much effort, lead

Mrs C D Rollins, in her usual
charming and pleasant manner, entertained
the book club on last
Wednesday afternoon. The contest,
both original and unique, was enjoyed
especially. A 'phone was
placed temporarily in the reception
room on the mantel and at various
intervals the hall 'phone would
ring, at which time the hostess
would carry on an imaginary conversation
with some noted personage,
which conversation was supposed
to disclose the indentity of
the individual at the other end.
Mesdames I) M Epps and John
Rollins, guessing the same number
correctly, tied for the prize, a min-j
iature 'phone. Delicious refreshments
were served l?v the hostess,
assisted by her maids.
Times are rather exciting in and
around Olanta, a small lnunlet situate
on the extreme southern boun-j
dary of Florence county, at which
point three counties practically'
"corner.'' Jsome days ago an element
of its citizenry decided on an
unprecedented future for this lieautiful
little town by the establishment
of a dispensary within its
corporate limits, and accordingly
/
I 1
petitioned the county dispensary
hoard of control to establish one:
there. However, the other element, i
I
which constituted the majority of
the good citizens in and around the
village, realizing the evil influences i
that would necessari ly arise from
the establishment of a dispensary in
that community, sought injunctive
relief through the law firm of Arrowsmith
& Baker of this place, and
as a result the dispensary, which
would have opened last Monday,
was enjoined, and the issues are
now pending in the court.
We note that the city ot Morence
has purchased a new crematory like
the one recently constructed here.
This is indeed flattering in that, it
is very probable, that without our
recommendation and a full investigation
of the commissioners of that
city they would not have purchased
the plant. We might state that
Like City was the first in this section
of the State to Establish the
crematory, and one can realize its
need in a community only alter an
investigation.

How to Bankrupt foe Doctors.
A prominent New York physician
says, "Ifitwer^not for the thin 1
stockings and thin soled shoes wor%^
by women the doctors would prolK
ably be bankrupt." When you contract
a cold do not wait for it* to
develop into pneumonia but treat it j
at once. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is intended especially for coughs
and colds, and has won a wide repu- s
tation by its cures of these diseases, i
It is most effectual and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
