Kingstree's merchants are well stocked for the Christmas trade.considering the great disadvantages that are being experienced all over the country on account of embargoes and hindrances in transportation. Right here, we take occasion to advise our readers against ordering toys, or anything for Christmas, from out of town houses, either by Darcel post or express. In the first instance, the chances are that you 1 won't receive what you order when you want it; and next, the probability is that you'll not receive it at all. So spend your money at home?with Kingstree merchants. If they haven't got what you want, and you can possibly do without it. let it alone, and invest the amount of its cost in the new War Savings Stamps. Lake City, or Rutledge County promoters, suffered a decided defeat Tuesday at the hands of the voters in that part of Williamsburg which it was proposed to clip off for the formation of Rutledge.

I want a rifle for David, too. He is tired using of a sling j and wants a real gun. Besides there j are no more giants to be knocked ^ out, and he can kill sparrows. Better get a new shotgun for Nimrod c and some ammunition. I'll get a few ^ rolls of roofin' for the new smokes house an' some wire to fence in the ^ orchard and the old pasture field." ^ "Now, Salome, look at the paper c and see wher' else we've got to go. < Yes, there's Watt's jewelry store, ^ Scott-Logan's and the King Hard- ( ware Co's 9tore, we haven't been s into yet. Let's go at once and see what they have." s "Zebedee, before we go in let's ^ look at the window. See what a ^ nice lot of vases and jewelry and | things. Well, I declare. There is just the thing for Rachel?what a ( lovely vase. She'll be so proud of it, and look at the soldier rings, ( Zebedee. We'll get one for Joab, bein' as he's been drafted." - , "Salome, I have to stop in here at the Scott-Logan Co's store; they do a wholesale business and I want to get a sack of salt, some cottonseed meal, a barrel of flour, and some meat for the tenants." "Zebedee, I've planned along to give Naomi a nice carving set, and I'd 'bout forgotten it. We'll go into the King Hardware store and get it today." "And, by the way, Salome, I promised Shadrack a set of tools: planes,brace and bits, chisels, &c,and I'll get them from King. Oh, yes, \ their store is packed full of nice ar.d useful things, both for thehomeand farm; but Absalom's wagon is filled, and he'll have to come back next week. It's gettin' late and time to hitch up old Uno,so pit all of your: trinkets together, we'll be after dark ; gittin' home. Lets go! I did want to ! j see Miller, the electrician, about an, electric plant for the farm, but I'll wait and see him next week. By the | way, Salome. I've got to run up to j i the Bank of Kinprstree and 'tend to i a little business ther before I leave town. Absolom, son, you drive on, and stop at Epps' market and tret a bunch of fresh fish to carry out with you." "Zebedee, I almost clean forgot that I promised Samantha Snodgrass to pro to the Steele Furniture Company and order a book case, some ruprs, a library table, and some pictures and chairs for their new home. I'll go right along with you as you gs to the Bank of Kingstree.

He has a car and will un out as soon as he gets my letter, rhen I had promised old Ham's wife 'd see James and get one of those :heap sewing machines he's adverising. I'll send Shem to Kingstree omorrow after it and he can 'fetch' vord up to Calhoun about the life nsurance policy I want. Trot along, Jno! "And next week I'm going to send (esse over to Cades to see W I j lodges. He's advertisin' Nissen wagons, and as they are built on a eputation, I'll have him take a pair if mules and bring one back with lim. And then, too,I've got to go or end over to Florence and Lake City. Ve've been plannin' on a new piano or a long time and the low price of :otton prevented us from gittin' it. >iegling, the oldest music house in Vmerica.has a store over ther' full )f fine ones,but if the weather keeps 10 cold we'll write a card to Kinder mri hnvp him run out in his Ford to \ee us. But I've got to go over to Lake City in a few days to see Cot;in'ham and straighten out that note lis ban khoids agin me." "Oh, Zebedee; they've got plenty if money and no overdrafts, they ion't need it, and, besides, it's not iue until April 1." Whoa, Uno! Jump out, Salome.
