The Associated Charities, recently organized in Lake City, has already been called upon to fill its mission. This was indeed a pitiable case?a poor widowed country woman, with two little boys and no means of subi 8istence. She was brought to town and is now under the direct care of her benefactors until she can obtain < employment. This organization rills a long-felt need in Lake City and Hft?rill be maintained solely by subH^cnptions, the members contributor^ ing a small sum each month for its support.

Mrs Phillip Arrowsmith and her j mother are visiting relatives in j Kingstree. It seems as though all of our friends are trying to get married before 1915 arrives. Never before in local hymeneal history has there been such a constant buzz of rumors of approaching marriages and rumors of engagements thereof, and times weren't half so hard last year, either. Quite a number of our good country friends were in town yesterday, among whom were: Mr J A McAllister, Mr and Mrs Wm Webster, Miss Ila Cook, Mr A E Hill and others. Mr and Mrs Charles G King have removed from Walterboro, where they have been living the past year. Mr Carroll J Jones, U S N, is spending his holiday furlough at home. Mrs Frank Fenegan of Hendersonville, N C, arrived yesterday to spend the Christmas holidays with her mother and relatives at this place. Miss Essie MacCaulay of Woodruff is the guest of her neice, Mrs J W Rollins. With the compliments of the season, Mr Editor, to you and yours, to our many readers and friends, from, LBN. THE HOLIDAYS AT SCRANTON. Oar Scribe Wishes All a Merry Christmas. Scranton, December 22:?Merry Christmas! Listen for, "Christmas giff." "Ye scribe" can use anything except a mustache cup. The amateur play given at the school-house last Friday night, "Mrs Tubbs of Shantytown", was a pronounced success. All the players did finely,from the "leading lady", Miss Mary Dibble, down to the four-yearold "baby", Clair Cannon, who endeared herself to the audience. The proceeds will go to the school improvement fund. Sunday morning at the Methodist church the Olive picture card class of the Sunday-school received class pins as a reward for attendance, donated by a member of the Bible class. Superintendent^ A Cook explained to the little tots the object of the gifts, and the teacher of the class, Miss Janie Wall, presented the pins. The other classes received souvenirs from their respective teachers. Dr C H Pate has been appointed health registrar for Lee and Lake townships. The line runs parallel unt-h t.hf* railrnad through town. Dr Pate received the appointment in a letter from the Clerk of Court one day last week. The registrar will appoint several deputies, or assistants. The office of local,or township registrar, was created under the vital statistics law. Merry Christmas to all!

Salters Depot, December 21:?We have had ten days or more of damp, cloudy weather, the sun shining only about two days. Crops have all been housed,except a few scattered bales of cotton, which will be picked in a short time. Prospects for a lively Christmas business are very poor. Rev W T Bedenbaugh has moved to his new charge, Pinopolis. With him our best wishes go for a year of success in his new field. Rev J W Bailey has moved into the Methodist parsonage and has entered upon his year's worK. The hot supper at the town hall last Wednesday night was quite a success; it was a bountiful supper. Delightful music furnished by Prof Silverman with his band from Kingstree added very much to the pleasure of the occasion. Mrs E W Tutle has returned from a pleasant visit to relatives at Greelyville. Miss Jennie Chandler of Gourdin, who has been spending some time with relatives here, has returned home. Mr John C Everett has returned from a trip to Marlboro, his old home. We were pleased to have with us * ? * ? 1- ?L:I ^ last weetc ior a snort wnnc uui gwu friend, Mr P G Gourdin of Kingstree. Mr W R Bryan, formerly of this place but now of Bingham, spent several days here last week on business. Those at home here for the holidays are: Misses Emmie Ferrell and Frankie Cook, from Chicora College, and Miss Lillian Salters, who is now teaching school at Clinton. Miss?Turner,of the Rome school, spent a short while here with friends Friday evening en route to her home at Ninety-Six.

Olanta Observations. Olanta, December 21:?Everybody is expecting a happy Christmas. The home of Mr Cleve Mixson was totally destroyed last Tuesday night by fire, the cause of which was unknown. The family made a narrow escape. Mr Mixson got his arm burned before he got away. We sympathize with him.

Greelyville, November 21:?The death of Mr W J Ferrell .November 21 marked the passing out from our j community of the last old veteran. Mr Ferrell volunteered at the be- j ginning of the War Between the States and was wounded at the second battle of Manassas, his arm be ing practically snot on uy a uimic ball,and the surgeons wanted to amputate it but he refused to allow it, so they removed three pieces of the bone, and after a few weeks we find him again at the front in charge of a litter corps. He served in the Sixth South Carolina regiment,Jenkins' brigade. He was a gallant soldier, a good c itizen a loving father and numbered friends by the score. Mr Ferrell lived to the ripe old age of seventy-six. He leaves a large family o:f children and grand-children. It makes our heart sad to see these great characters pass from among us. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. I feel sure he might have said with Paul: "I have fought a good fight, I J have finished my course," and that he entered into the joys prepared for the brave and good. A Friend . I A CARD.
