Your correspondent has been away for q

1t was reported that Mr.. and Mrs. T. NJ.
Scott intended moving, back to Williamsburg
county. S, c., but they have given out all idea
OF a change at present.
The grand "Falcntine Hop came of last
Monday evening and was decided success
in every respect. Your correspondent WAS
honOred with a complimentary ticket to ad-
NIT one. 1t is useless for us to try to give a
description OF the beautiful dresses worn by
the ladies' from far and near, but they were
beautiful in colors. and elegantly made.
There were visitors from Augusta, Charleston,
Columbus, Ga. Columbia, 5. C., Greenwood,
and many other places we do not recall at
present The energetic president and the
committees did everything in their power to
make the bali Il success, and they succeeded

The Manganese Mining Co. will begin work

Sling-shots in town are becoming q nui-

small boys and impose fine. These are
small but dangerous weapons for boys TO
handle. Especially by such reckless fellows
as our town afford.
The gardeners are busy preparing their
grounds for early EcYet1bcS.

Of amusement last Friday in the shape of IL

Thursday night was placed outside of the
store and soon collected quite Il crowd of Gu.
rioSily seekers. We think Mr.. Calhoun will
soon get a monkey himself as his trade was
good or better that day than for some time
back.

Mrs Hendricks is still very i'll and is not

The Mt Carmel fever has somewhat sub

No Shortening of the School Term In

The school trustees of the Ahbevlllc School
District have determined not t. shorten the
school term by paying more to their teachers
than they have heretofore done, namely: STU.
SIS. or SEQ, q month, according to grade of GER
1ihcate. This action on their part is In the
interest of the children and will enable the
school authorities to keep the schools open
longer than they otherwise could do II they
paid the higher price to teachers as allowed
by the County Board. They will keep the
same teachers they had before, unless some or
them should demand higher pay. IN Whlch
Presumably the school fund is for the heneft
of the children. and it is well TO- keep the
schools open as long as possible. The count!

"Last week one of our most substantial and
Honorable citizens. who rarely leaves hlS
splendid farm to come to town, called at our
'office TO pay fOr'the Medium. He was inform.
ed that he owed us IS for four years subscrip.
rti0n. He didn't say that we had CHARGED him
too much-that he had paid except tor one
year. and attempt to prove that he had paid
us ut some public meeting. and we had forgot
ten to give him credit, and that he had sever.
a,l witnesses to prove it. He only said, "you
have heen very lndulgent with me-" and
handed over the money. We have run pa
per Twelve years and never met with such an
incident before. 1t is useless to say that oul
friend Is an Intelligent, honest, progressive
and successful farmer and useful and re-
spectacle citizen.
