i^KI\GSTREEVlUH A\IJ * : GRADED SCHOOL NOTES- ; ? ? ? We were pleased to have a large audience Monday night to hear the Zimmer Sisters, the third of otfr lyceum numbers. March the fourth is "Health Day." Every parent is urged to come to the school building on Friday. There are to be speakers as well as exercises by the pupils.

Klngstree Telephone Co. The Kingstree Telephone Co is progressing rapidly with the work of putting in its new metallic system which is to supplant the old grounded one that has served its purpose for a number of years past. Some months ago the company was granted a new franchise by the town council, which gave its officers permission to lay a system of underground cables in the main streets of the town. The work of opening) the streets and laying these cables i was begun last week and will >>e completed before the end of the coming week. About 8,000 feet of this lead cable containing, some of it, as many as 600 wires, has been placed and in a short time these little wires will be connected up with a new and up-to-date switch board in the company's new building on South Academy street. The cables are being laid eighteen inches below the surface and are incased in chemically treated cypress conduits. The company's franchise and its schedule of rates have recently been ratified by the Railroad Commission and everything has been smooth sailing ao far, with the exception of a slight delay caused by the red tape proceedings necessary in carrying the cable through the railroad company's right of way, but this has all been overcome and Mr G 0 Epps, , . manager of the Telephone Co, informs us that unless something entirely unexpected should happen > > the new system will be in working order within the next two weeks. When the new system is completed it will be permanent and will have cost the company in the neigh* borhood of 810,000. All of the unsightly old poles and cross-trees,; bending under their burden of wires,; will soon be done away with, then j the town's main thoroughfares will} at least present a more pleasing j aspect to the eye as one glances} oWtTt??A ? /! 3R,> "rtiu.

Errors Corrected. Editor County Record:? Please allow me space in your valuable paper for the correction of two unintentional errors in last week's mention of our County Fair association meeting held February 19 for the purpose of fixing dates for holding our next annual fair and the appointment of committees for revision of our premium list. The date fixed for the holding of our next fair is the second week in November, commencing Wednesday, the 8th, not Wednesday, the 1st, as stated in your issue of last week. The programme for the four days is as stated by you. The work of revising our premium list is in the hands of Messrs Thos McCutchen, S P Harper and C W Baker, county farm demonstration agent, and Miss Amanda Edwards in charge of the home demonstration work of our county. We consider ourselves lucky in having this intelligent and progressive committee to handle this important ieature 01 our fair work. We are glad again to call attention to the cash prize of $25 offered by our president to the farmer making the best general farm exhibit. This ( is an individual offer and should not be considered as coming from the fair, because we have no doubt the premiums offered by the association ; will be quite as large as this. We j hope to see the idea carried out as expressed in the statement made by ; the Bank of Kingstree. Let individ uals offer prizes for community, town.com club.home demonstration, j school and other exhibits, that they j may prove incentives to better and more elaborate displays. Your issue of last week made men- i tion of the creditable showing nude i last season by Hon S A Graham, his being the only individual farm ex-1 hibit seen at our fair. The credit of this exhibit you gave to Hon J C! Graham, brother of Hon S A Graham, whom we know and who will I no doubt exhibit the coming season i in competition for the prizes offered.

Earles, February 26:?Sunday afternoon, 20th inst, at 2:30 o'clock, a marriage of much interest to people in this and surrounding communities was solemnized, when Miss Effie Wheeler became the bride of Mr T Alton Cox. The marriage took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr and Mrs J S Wheeler. The ceremony was performed by Mr L A Rogerson of Andrews. The room was beautifully decorated in white and green. To the strains of Lohengrin's bridal chorus, played by Miss Floride McCelvey, the bridal party entered in the following order: Miss Eva Cox with Mr R E Moskrow; Miss Vera Chappel with Mr John Wheeler, brother of the bride. Dressed in a suit of blue satin trimmed in real lace, the bride entered with the groom and1 stood under an arch of green and white, where the ceremony was performed. Only the relatives and a few intimate friends of the family were present. The bride is a charming young lady and has a wide circle of friends. The groom holds a responsible position with the Atlantic Coast Lumber Co at Andrews. AttentlOD, Tobacco Growers. Thinking this card would be of interest to some one, I would advise that you plant as much tobacco this year as you can care for properly, as prices are going to be higher than you have seen them in a long time. On account of the shortage of potash in the guano this year,. I would advise you to try new lands, j I mean lands that have never been planted in tobacco, and if you follow sweet potatoes, the best of all. use all the stable and lot manure you Vniiro frnlv v-au. luwiu ?v? j vi Mij , E J Hester. An Appreciation. in behalf of the people of Kingstree,and indeed of all Williamsburg, I I offer this simple tribute to Hon and Mrs R J Kirk and their son, j Robert, who have recently moved to Florence, S C. During all their stay here their home was the "house beautiful," from which hospitality was daily dispensed, and where the Christian life was so well lived that the influence of it went through all the county and in large measure through the State. Their tastes are- essentially fine and their aspirations include the highest excellence in intellectual, social and spiritual life. When people of such splendid character live in a place they impress themselves upon everything worthy that it represents. Now that they are gone their loss is deeply felt, but I trust that the good Florentines will receive them with love, and that they will value them I as we have done. I Marie Thorn.

Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "1 suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, 1 could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at an. At times, I would have severe pains In my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but 1 was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, , and 1 gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it From the very first I dose, I could teli it was helping me. 1 i can now walk two miles without its I tiring me, and am doing my work."
