THE COUNTY RECORD^
Thursdav Dec. 13. 1917.
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. The people
of Williamsburg in general seem to
feel that they have won an important
victory, and the vote cast against
the new county by those living in
a??3 u
tne territory auecuru wouiu t-? iiuu*
ly indicate that the proposition is
not a popular one. Eight years ago
a similar proposition was defeated
at the polls.

The home of Ralph Nolf, a Barnwell
couaty farmer, was burned one
night last week, and the charred remains
of Mr and Mrs Nolf and their

burned to conceal the crime.
The most awful disaster to the
American cause during the present

for them has been started at Columbia.

SALOME AND ZEBEDEE COME 1
TO KINGSTREE SHOPPING. 1
Continued from first page. j ]
seein' their advertisement in every (
issue of The County Record for ^
years and I've bought everything t
from shingle nails to a McCormick ^
reaper from them and now I'm go- j
ing to buy a new range for you. j
Salome. 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. The
Steele Furniture Company gives profit-sharing
coupons, Zebedee, and
next week I want you to call there
and bring out the dining room suit
I bought there."
"All right, Salome."
"Ged-ep, Uno!"
ON THE WAY HOME.
z<eDeaee, we ve naa a very ousy
day but it's so gratifyin' to go shoppin'
this way and be able to find everything
you want and to receive
such kind,courteous treatment from
the merchants and their clerks.
Why,I am delighted with our dav.s
work?it was like an outin'."
"Yes, but, Salome, there are several
things 1 clean forgot. You know
I have only a small life insurance
and I must see Calhoun and have
him write me a policy in the Sou'
?astern for $10,000 with you as sole
beneficiary. I'll write him as soon
as I get home. 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.
Come here, Judas, and putjthis mule
away.'*
