Circle No. 4, Daughters in Israel, will give an entertainment on April 27th, for wh'icb they have iveen making preparation for sev? eral weeks Tbe programar e is very attract? ive and will prove ?lie most interesting aod enjoyable event pf tbe spring. The prices of admission nave been fixed at 35, s25 and 15 j cents The Episcopal, Methodist and Lutheran Churches and tbe Catholic Chapel were beau tifulv Sunday wiib Easter decorations. It seemed as if there was a greater abundance of flowers of all kinds than for years, acd the choicest specimens of hot houses and gardens were freely given to deck the booses of wor? ship io commemoration of the resurrection. Lilies and roses were most numerous, but many others lent cf their beauty and fra? grance to make perfect tbe floral decorations that have throueh years of custom heeoue symbolic of Easter. There is a Gypsy camp on the Stateburg road, and the young people are goiog out in crowds to have their fonuues fold. Tbey very probably get full value for their money and should be satisfied for some of the mys? tic prophecies are truly marvelous. It ?3 related that one fair maid was solemnly as? sured that she would te married to a Prioce Charming ere she passed her eighteenth birth? day, and not strange to relate she was dis? satisfied, having already celebrated her nine? teenth. But /ortone-telling is like other trades-it is imponible to avoid turuing out a misfit article once in a while. A false alarm of fire was started in the vicinity cf the tobacco warehouse shortly after 8 o'c'ock Wednesday night, and the entire de? partment was called ont before it was dis? covered that there was no fire. Both reel squads PD to the neighborhood in wbicb tbe alarm waa started, bot neither a fire nor the person wbo originated the alarm could be loc-tted. For a few minutes there was tbe usual excitement that attends al! alarms of fire, and a crowd set out on a double qaick in pursuit of tbe raciop reel squads, for tbey all wanted to fee the fire. It would be an excellent idea for tbe firemen to turn a stream or two on tbe person who starts a false alarm, the very first time be is captured The Oil Mill is expected to tbut down for the sommer about tbe last of the week, as tbe supply of seed is running low ' More than four thousand tons cf seed have already been erusbed aod cooverted into oil and meal, wbich is a much larger quantity "than was expected when the season opened The mill has bad a prosperous season and has mide money for the coavpaoy. Every ton of meal has been sold as soou as nude, and the oil h-?s been disposed of as rapidly aa the n anager8 thought advisable to let it go. ? There are now about fifty or sixty thousand j salions of oil on band, but this can be turntd into mooey on any d sy and show a profit on tbs transaction. Mr. W. M. Graham shipped the first straw? berries from his frtrm on the 13'h instant a- d bas made large shipments each day, and will continue doing so as long as the demand re? mains active. The local demand is also sup? plied acd those who want the finest berries any market affords can obtain tbem right here at home Mr. Graham bas demon? strated that strawberries can be successfully and probably grown in this section of the State, and if others will profit by bis exam? ple a large and remunerative business can be built up. Until berries are grown ia suffi? cient quantities to furnish carload lots daily it will be impossible to obtain the lowest freight rates, and the business will not yield the large profit that it is capable of. When berries, or truck of any kind bas to be ship? ped north by express io limited quantities tbe rate is so bigb that a very considerable pro? portion of cross profit ??oes to the expres9 company, and tfee grower bas to content him? self with a minimum share. Mr. Graham has acted as a pioneer, and bas proved that strawberries ?re easily raised, that the yield is large and of fine quality, and that the crop is reasonably certain, and it now remates 'o be seen whether there are other landowners and farmers who have sufficient energy and progressiveness to follow io his footrteps and j reap for themselves the reward that 1 i*s with? in their reach. -- Election at Bishopville.
