PRIVATEER PERSONALS. Privateer Township, S C., Dec. ll -Tbe following is a list of the white free schools aDd teachers in ibis township: Be;bel. Miss Ella Myers ; Tindal, Mrs Whitfield Wells ; Providence, Miss Aana Willis ; Ingram, Miss Allie Toole : Red Oak, Miss Blanche Laz zelie ; Gilgal, MissTaiulab Rivers : and Mel lett, Miss Laura Abercrombie. We would r.lso give a lin of the colored schools and teachers, but that bas not been ? given us jet. Mr. Willie Cain, who is chairman of the j Privateer board of school trustees, i o formed { as sometime back that he intended visiting tb?schools. Tbis is tbe right idea. Ail the1 trustees cu^bt to visit tbe schools ; we think their visits would not only encourage the teachers and papils, but it wou!d give the trustees a more comprehensive k.-owledge about tbe educational affairs of their dis tricts than they could gain from other 6oarce3, and tben it would bring them in pleasant coatact with both teachers and pu? pils. The Rev. J I. Ayre?, who is now pastor of Bethel aDd Wedgefield Baptist churches is b.other ot the Rev Eugeoe E Ayres, who was pastor of these same churches exactly u years ago-he is now professor in George? town College, Ky. Mr. J I Ayres has also been professor io ibis same college. Miss Lizzie Whildeo is the matron of the Camoobelio High School, in Spartanburg county. Mr. John Bradford's family have recently removed. Before this remivai, cur township had three representatives at tbe Sumter Graded School -Misses Kite and Carrie Bradford ?od Mary Anna J*cksoa. Mi<3 Sosie Bradford bas returned from a visit to Williamsburg County. - We have always considered the name of Haynsworth as peculiarly a Soutn Carolina name, and we were rather surprised a while hack to read of a South American lady with , this name. The following announcement ap peered in October : "Tbe wedding of Count d'Oyley, of Manor San Souci, and Mis? Hainsworth, of Lima, Peru, was one of tbe late events io London." Ii will be noticed that the bride's name is spelled with ao i iostead of a y, but this appears to have been the way the name was originally spelled io our State. It seems strange to read of a Hainsworth ia Sooth America As tbe Haynsworth family has descendants living ii. our township,.the notice of Count d'O ley's marriage may be of some interest to them, as weil as people in other pottions of Sumter County. At tbe recent election of town officers in tbe village of Pinewood, the first election of the kind ever held there, Mr. D F Lide, Jr , was chosen one ot tbe wardens-' He is a son of Mr. David F. Lide, formerly of this township, bot now of Clarendon County. A wbiie back Mr. James Mooney, of the Bureau of Ethnology, paid a flying visit to oar community. Mr. Mooney is a leading ethnological writer of the United States, and his works (published by tbe Sroitbsoniaa" Institution) show a wide field of investiga? tion and carefal researc-ts. It bas been saia by the Charleston News and Coor er that be possesses.tbe coofideocecof the Iodian rac? io the United Staten more than any otber iivmg white man. A tournament is being arranged for Christ? mas dav in our community. Mr. Burgess Drayton, of Packsvilie, aod Miss Lizzie Pritchard, of this township, were to be married yesterday. ? McD. F. Wedgefield Items. Wedgefield, D?C. 13-Again cur town is in mourning over the lo3s of one of our esteemed citizsns, it being the death of Mr Jimes Caldwell, Sr. He died suddenly of heart trouble last Saturday moroiog. The Urge congregation that attended the fanerai services which were held in tbe Presbyterian Church on Sund-iy afternoon proved the esteem ?3 which we was held by the community. Several cases of smallpox are reported a few miles below here oe*r the Wateree Swamp but it is pronouncad as being a very mild type by those that have seen the patients. With a close coofinemeoi and s general vaccination no fears are entertained as to its becoming genera!. The merchants report baviog an unusual good trade^tbis fall, and they are preparing to have a larger and fner display of Santa Clans goods than ever. Mr. F. E. Thomas bas put io a saw mill ir. connection with bis ^.ginnery, and I can truthfully say tbmg3 are not qaiet nowadays antil just as the sun goes dows. Mr. A. E Aycock left for Charleston this morning on a short business trip. Miss Lessie Sing eton, ?ormerly of this place, came up from Charleston yesterday to spend the holidays j Prof. W.

EDITOR : You may have had us in mind when referring in a recent issue of your paper to the peculiarity of merchants in regir? to advertising, in which you quoted them as saying that ':in good times it was not necessary to advertise, and In hard times it did not pay.'; While we have always found that advertising paid us, we must confess that for the past sixty days any in? crease of business that we might secure by that means, could not have been satisfactorily waited on. as our clerical force has been taxed to its utmost capacity. Now that the rush of cotton is over and we have an opportunity to say a few words to our friends in the country, we desire to acknowledge, through the columns of the Watch I man and Southron, our grateful thanks to them for the liberal patronage bestowed upon us, for which we can offer nothing in return except our pYomise that their interests will be as care? fully guarded by us in the future as they have been in the past. It is particularly gratifying to us foreknowledge a very liberal trade during the months of September and October from our farming friends, to whom it was our pleasure to extend a credit during the summer. It proves to U3 that they appreciate our endeavor to be just and reasonable with them, when they need assistance, as we have always tried to be-our motto being / LIVE AND LET LIVE Although we tried to anticipate this season's wants by buying a heavier stock than ever before, our trade has so far exceeded our expectations, that we have been obliged to re? plenish frequently and freely every department of our store. . In Dry Goods We bought a very heavy stock of staples, a fair percentage of which we still have on hand and are selling at old prices.. Those Tar Heel Blankets Which you have been waiting for so long have come at last.
