For the sake of our readers and
for her own sake as well,we sincerely
regret to hear that Miss Leah B
Nachman, our bright and versatile
Lake City correspondent, is sick and
unable to send us this week her regular
interesting news letter from
our neighbor town. In common \rith
all our readers we hope for miss
Nachman a speedy recovery.
Commemorative of his fifth natal
day, Master Louis Spurgeon Courtney
was host to a merry throng of
his little friends and play-mates Friday
afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock at
the hospitable home of his parents,
Mr and Mrs P S Courtney. All the
little folk were delighted with the
entertainment provided them by the
youthful host.
We are heartily glad to welcome
*' i-u ? "D_?
oacK to tne ioiq luk j. luuikm ,w?
Trio correspondent. Having wandered
into distant lands and seen
other places and people, we are glad
that he found no place quite so good
as old Williamsburg. Hope he will
often favor us with his breezy communications.
We are proud of our
corps of correspondents.
Of late we have received several
communications signed with initials
or without any signature at all. The
latest is from Tunis,North Carolina,
signed "J F L." Who the writer is
we have no more idea than the man
in the moon. As we have probably
said before, if the writer of a letter
for publication is afraid or ashamed
to sign his name,why waste stamps?
Mr W T Rowell of Trio was in
Kingstree Monday and informed us
that he is putting out twelve acres
of tobacco this week,and that he has
more plants than he will need. This
is good news, since most planters
complain that they are short of
plants, owing to the severe March
weather, and will be unable to put
out as large an acreage as they had
intended.
Of course the compositors on The
Record force are not addicted to
profanity, but if some of our correspondents
knew how near it comes
to tempt them to "cuss" they
would not write on both sides of a
sheet of paper when they favor us
with their rammunications. It
seems a simple matter, mere captious
fault-finding, but to the printer
it means a loss o. ti.ne and liability
to error, which is cause sufficient to
acidulate the sweetest temper.
Tuesday morning twelve citizens
in three automobiles left Kingstree
to canvass various sections of the
county in the interest of the mass
meeting to be held here next Thursday
anent the proposed holding of a
county fair during the coming fall.
In one of the cars were Messsrs F
W Fairey, W H Welch, W 0 Camlin
and .T F MoFfidden: in another were
Messrs W E Jenkinson, L T Thompson,
Olin Epps and S P Harper, and
in the third were Messrs Tom and
Dave McCutchen, R N Speigner and
P H Stoll, Esq. They all appear to
be highly gratified over the success
of their trip and inform us that the
people of the county are enthusiastic
oyer the prospect of a county fair.

Don't Sleep WeD
No Good Reason
Just Can't Sleep
^^
Some people can't sleep. There
seems to be no special reason. They
have no disease of the nervous system.
Digestion is fairly good. Their
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke a little or drink a little, yet
their habits are fair. Still they can't
sleep welL
Just a little unbalanced In the nerve |
centers. That Is all. They should
have a little "righting up."
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort of a tonic. Peruna is exactly
the tonic. Digestion is hurried
by Peruna. The stomach is empty
and ready to rest for the night The
circulation is equalized. The brain
is relieved of all congestions and irritations.
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel in the system. It acts on all
of the nerve centers. One begins to
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to one tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal.
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime is necessary, where the sleeplessness
is very pronounced.
Just try it, neighbor. You will be
glad if you do. One bottle will convince
you. Peruna is no sleep medicine.
It is not a nervine. It contains
no narcotics. It Is nothing of that
sort It is simply a regulative tonic.
Every home should be provided
with the last edition of the "Ills of
Life," sent free by the Peruna Co.,
Columbus, Ohio.
