ft The latest additions are two Fords.
H owned by Messrs R B Cannon and
ft N M Graham the latter, an R F D |
? carrier, will carry Uncle Sam's man
in his machine. One round made
with it saved two hours' time. We
look for Mr Graham to clip more
time off and be coming in by noon,
as soon as he learns to crank it.
i One day recently he made 4% miles
' in 26 minutes, stopping to make ten
deliveries driving his gray nag, but
not fast enough.

The Sunday-schools of the town:
held their annual picnic at Howe s
Spring, May 30. Abcut 150 people
enjoyed the day at that popular picnic
ground. An incident that added
more pleasure to the joyous occasion
was the joining of two hearts that
now "beat as one." The happy J
bride and groom are Miss Bertha'
Braveboy and Mr Zeddie Matthews.j
They just boarded the noon train to
Florence and called on the Probate
Judge, then came back to New

Mrs Matthews, Misses Ethel Welch

The mule, it is thought, was stolen
from Cain's stable in the early
morning of June 4, and, "was found

the lot itself. Probably some one
wished to take a free ride and did
so.

NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM LAKE CITY.
BURGLARS ROB STORE-A NEAR
. RE -HORSE DITCHES BUGGY,
OCCUPANTS INJURED.
Special to The County Record.
Lake City, June 9:?It seems that
our little city has enjoyed for too
long immunity from robberies, so
to break the monotony,Friday evening
some observing marauder selected
the store of J P Matthews &
Co as his objective point, but re- 1
moved only a few articles, it seems.
No clue as to who the robbers were '
has been discovered. The entrance
into the store was made by a rear '
window, after removing one of the 1
panes. The protection of a night 1
watchman has been one of the best '
assets of our town, but the heavy 1
downpour Friday evening of a longneeded
shower doubtless was the 1
cloak that screened the burglar's '
deed.
Much excitement prevailed for
awhile Monday morning when fire
was discovered in the paper room of
the Lake City News office. The origin
is unknown, but it is evident
that someone must have carelessly
thrown a match and the papers '
slowly smouldered until the room
was again opened, when- the fire
broke forth. Had the blaze not been
gotten under control of the bucket
brigade promptly, a destructive conflagration
would doubtless have result.
owing to the situation of the
buildings. This is the second smaii
fin originating in or near this building
within the past month.
The many friends of Miss Violet
Aski.ns will be delighted to learn
that she is convalescing, after a serious
illness of two weeks' duration,
during which time it became necessary
to have the attention of a trained
nurse; complications arose during
her illness and it was thought that
typhoid fever had set in, but her
temperature is again normal and she
is on the rapid road to recovery, at
this time.
A large crowd enjoyed the lovely
piano and violin recital by the pu- 1
pils of Miss Eva North's music class
Thursday and Friday evenings of '
last week. The programmes were 1
well rendered, eacn selection snowing
remarkable application and
study, and the pantomime, "A Visit *
from Mother Goose," was thoroughly
enjoyed. !
Miss Mayme Green and her guest, :
Miss Margaret Johnson, spent sev- 1

That the tango color is much appreciated
in Lake City is evidenced
by its being used as an exterior decoration
for one of the houses being
repainted on Williamsburg avenue,

only a beautiful but 'stylish decoration.
After a ten weeks' drought the
long-needed rain came Friday, continuing
to fall intermittently all of
Saturday and Sunday, which was
none too much for the parched
plants and crops. The heat for the
past week had been so oppressive
that vegetation began to burn and
wither from it; but, with the moisture,
things have begun to take on a
difference and everybody in general
(fat people especially) is beginning
to feel better.
Messrs J 0 and S C Green are at
home from the State University.
The closing exercises of the Concord
school, near Dr Durant's plantation,
were held last Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. Miss Dora J
Hinnant, who has had this school in
charge,has done much to improve it;
during the past session, and her!
training was in evidence both even- i
ings. Tuesday evening a musicale
and several recitations were enjoyed;
Wednesday evening Philip H 1
Arrowsmith, Esq, of this place, delivered
a literary address to the'
school. That much interest is man- I
ifested in the educational work of
this community was evidenced by
the large attendance both evenings.
News was received here this mornintr
nf on flewMont tn Dr .1 R DllRant i
and a Mr Coker while returning
from Florence Monday evening. Mr
Coker seems to have been seriously
hurt when the horse and buggy they
were driving ran into a deep ditch.
As soon as the accident was discovered
physicians and a nurse from
Lake City were carried to the scene
and it is believed that,while both Dr
DuRant and Mr Coker are painfully
iurt, their injuries are not so serious
as was at first apprehended.
