March 23:?Revival services are being held at the Baptist AK.iwaK tko ROU Mr WnArtnmrH assisted by Rev E P Easterling, are ^conducting same. Mr M K Gravely, who has been K Kentucky and Virginia during ^tbe past several months in the leaf tobacco business, is at home again shaking hands with his many friends at this place. Mr Gravely isn't i pessimistic over the recent cold effects on a large number of tobacco plants and predicts a bigger and more profitable yield, more genuine success at this market and an all-round good year for the farmers, I despite the present indications, Here's hoping? The freeze on Saturday, notwithstanding its damaging effects, was beautiful and if it doesn't injure the crops, why should we worry?

There were over one hundred enthusiastic Florentines > Roosting Florence, accompanied by f about fifty pleasant and congenial [ wives, sweethearts and daughters, | not each please, all together. The L school children marched down to meet the train with their respective teachers, forming a line of over 425, extending from the railroad station to the Singletary corner. Immedi ately after the arrival and while the S crowds were meeting and introduction fripnHs. a cowbov stunt was r*"? ' - - ipven by a Florence cowboy. In the teeantime all forms of souvenirs and advertising matter was distributed. A pleasant feature was the sweet songs sung by the Chamber of K Commerce ouartette The train ^tfcyed some forty-five minutes and many pleasant acquaintances were jpoade and renewed. The courteous {greetings given by a committee of the Lake City ladies made things very pleasant for the visitors. Dr Stork has beemquite busy the past week. On last Tuesday he left t^ro little girls at the home of Mr ahd Mrs A L Cash and on Monday liist he gladdened the home of Dr i and Mr C D Rollins by leaving a fine > little son. i Extra! 2 to 3, in favor of Lake City.

LBN. Indiantown Items. Indiantown, March 23:?While we were consoling ourselves that cold weather had become a thing of the past, along came Mother Natare with the most severe freeze we have had this winter. The fruit trees were in full bloom and we fear that all the fruit is killed, along with the tobacco plants which have been greatly injured, if not entirely killed. But we should not be pessimistic, for if the fruit is killed, thousands of insects are, too. Last Tuesday was "cleaning up day" at Indiantown church. Tbe new lamps and chandeliers were installed, which give the church a decidedly improved appearance. The Phylosophian literary society held its weekly meeting last Friday. The debate was very interesting as well as of vital importance, the querry being?"Resolved, that Indiantown High school should enlarge the play ground." Our tomato club is verv enthusi astic and we hope for them a brilliant success. We are exerting every means to beautify our school house and we have begun to see a marked improvement. We recently purchased quite a number of Perry pictures for the different class rooms, besides a number of framed pictures donated to the school by one of the patrons. Our window boxes have begun to show up prettily. The We have on hand quite a nic^ library fund with which we hope to lay in a supply of new entertaining and instructive books at an early date. ProfessoY Lewis, of Indiantown High school, spent the week-end at his home in Mullens. Misses Lillian Salters and McNeal of Rome spent last Sunday with Miss Marguerite Salters, at Mrs W W Barr's. Messrs Frank and Alex Rodgers were in our community last week. Mrs ? Hill is spending some time in Dillon. Misses Annie and Jane Ervin, who are teachitg in Georgetown county, were at home for the week-end. The music club of Indiantown school is progressing nicely, with about eighteen very interested members. A Phylosophian. Examination for Rural Carrier.

I Leo, March 23:?On Sunday, the 122, the people of Leo were again in , the hands of the ice king, but about , noon the sun came out and soon ( melted the ice. j I think the tobacco average will j be short. Don't think there will be ( over 25 per cent of a crop as the plants have been greatly damaged | by the recent cold weather. Hope , our brother farmers will put in more corn and not too much cotton. . On the 9th Hon J Davis Carter ] had a destructive fire, losing his , store and the better part of his f goods also. Mr John Cain, who , lived near the store, lost his house ? nnri its pnntenta Mr Carter's loss 1 amounts to something like six } thousand dollars. , The G & W tram road is prog- | ressing slowly but surely. It has t brought in several cars of guano, which means a big help to the farm- s ers in this section. Mr Andrews ] and Mr Key was over a day or so j last week looking after the work. The road is near enough to Leo for us to hear the echo of the hammers driving spikes.
