Speigner, who is so well and favorably known to the people of Williamsburg is now connected with the Bank of Williamsburg as teller, vice Mr. C J. Thompson who resigned the first of January to take up other work. Mr. Speigner is a son of the Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Speigner of this place. He came first to Kingstree some years ago to take up his duties as assistant superintendent of the Kingstree Graded school, which position he filled with credit to himself and to the ' T A-- tf patrons of the school. i^aier .nr. Speigner became connected with the Kingstree Insurance. Real Estate and Loan Co., and was its efficient manager for several years. In 1912 he was elected to the office of county superintendent of education which office he filled very efficiently for two years. He again took up teaching and was in charge of the Hemingway Graded school during two most successful terms. He then accepted a position as bookkeeper for the large mercantile concern of W. C. Hemingway & Co., which he more recently resigned in order to accpct a professorship at the Porter Military Academy in Charleston, which he gave up for his present position at the Bank of Williamsburg. For a number of years, between school terms, Mr. Speigner has been connected with the Nelson Warehouse Jnrino- tnhacro season, as bookkeeper and paying clerk. The Record congratulates the Bank of Williamsburg upon securing him as one of its force, and we are sure his host of friends here will be glad to learn that he is back in Williamsburg county. o Card of Thanks I had a nice holiday business; sold a lot of nice goods at a small profit I want to thank each and every customer who patronized my store for their trade, and wish all a happy and prosperous New Year. F. J. Watts, Jeweler. o A fresh car of mules will arrive at our stables today. Come and see them. Williamsburg Live Stock Co. o Cold Wave A genuine cold wave struck this section Saturday night after a light rain fall and the temperature Sunday morning was much lower than at anytime during the previous week. The thermometer continued to drop and on Monday morning registered 14? degrees above zero. During the day it rose to 25? and again dropped to 14? Monday night. While this is not ordinarily considered cold weather it is a little too cold for this section and causes a lot of inconvenience. As a matter of fact we are not prepared for freezing weather. Our homes are constructed with a view to warm weather and the same applies to plumbing and heating arrange| ments, and if it were not for the splendid flowing wells all over town our water troubles would be much greater, and would very probably drive many of us to Black River for that one great necessity. o Get your seed peanuts from Welch at the Liberty MU1 Kingstree. 1-8-1920. o Big red Jumbos and Virginia runners are the kind of peanuts that Rnll WfiAvil TVv thpm F V.
