The regular annual meeting of the
South Carolina Good Roads Association
will ho held in Columbia on
Tuesday, January 19th. Special invitations
have been sent by the President,
F. II. Hyatt, to each and every
supervisor and county commissioner
in each county in the State to bo
present. We hope our county will
bo lully represented. The good roads
luestion is one of vast importance,
and wo trust that this meeting will
be fruitful of good results. Mr. Hyatt
speaks most encouragingly of the
prospects. Everybody is more or
less interested in the great work of
mproving our roads, the divising of
some system of working and keeping
n repair of public highways. It is
veil known the enormous amount of
money expended each year, for tho
ivorking of tho public roads, therefore
it is expedient that a better and
more economical system of working
the roads will be reached.

Christmas has come ami passed,
and the New Year is upon us, ami
there is no doubt but that the sutne
old story will be told of a- jiew leaf .
being turned, new resolutions. ijnd a
new kind ot life, billed to live, aW
all will about come out the same. . J
But let mo say sometning of
Christmas here. I put it oft" one
week, for I was taking Christmas,
as quiet as you please. It passed
off quietly, and and almost everyone
behaved nicely. There were various
little amusements, and some people
going and coming for the holidays.
Mi;? Annie Gregory visited
friends at Eastover.
Mr. Ben Gregory visited his
brother, Claude Gregory, at Winder,

Mr. and Mrs. R. G. A. Jeter vis- I

There was a Christmas tree at the
Presbyterian church. Itain only
5'ive a limited time to fix the tree,
but it was all quite successful, and
foflc^d off'harmoniously and little
Miss Bertha*Yiartiel^gavc a birthday
entertainment at her home, to
which quite a number was invited.
The writer is due Miss Bertha many
thanks for an invitation, and 1 do
not know that the excuses I made
for not attending will suffice, but
reiilly I was in a great measure providentially
prevented for I was almost
sick enough with a cold to be laid
up, but my heart was there, find
those who attended say that it was a
most delightful occasion. The invitation
was much appreciated.
There were some <kpop" sociables
round about; iiome for little people,
there were some banting and shooting
matches, and withal, 1 guess it
was a very pleasantly spent ChristQ]Hq
evon if urn did hear dull, dull,
f.>r Christmas is much as ?.o u?t..
Rev. Mr. Owens, the new Methodist
minister, has brought his family
hero, and lie filled his appointment
at Carlisle yesterday.
Mr. Frank E. Davis has rented
the old Crocker House aud will keep
an emergency boarding house.
There is little needed "here more than
an ever ready boarding house where
people know they can get their meals
when they stop here.
With the leaving of Mr. R B.
'z'liwvv vt?
Jr., will be in charge of store No. 2,
of Mr. L. B. Jeter.
Saturday 2nd, the weather here
was cloudy, windy and warm. The
thermometer was set at 17 degrees
at the time of taking the readings at
twilight, and next morning it registered
23 degrees and would have
kept falling if the sun had not arose
and Suunday evening it indicated
the set would be below freezing considerably.
if people could be magnets to
draw stock our family must be that.
For no matter where we move to, it
seems that all the hogs and cows in
our section take up on our premises
