Sunday with the latter's mother near
SuInmerton.
Mrs. Laura Peary is visiting rela-
tives in Columbia.
Mr.. Robert Culp of Calvary con-
Quoted prayer-meeting service IN the
Baptist church Sunday night.
Last Sunday night while at prayer
meeting at the Methodist church
some thievish scoundrel stole Mr.. Joe
Hodges horse and carried him sew
eral miles away and, no doubt, fear
ing he might be caught, left the
horse in the road.
Mr.. Iverson Minis of Silver visited
friends here yesterday; also the
handsome and gallant Willie and
Robert Briggs put in an appearance.
Misses Lula Rivers and Leila Ged-
dings have beer visiting their friend,
Miss Elma Geddings. We were very
much pleased to have them call on
us in school last Tuesday.
The Misses Bell of Manning have
been on visit to their sister here.
We regret to chronicle the serious
illness of Miss Addie Parsons at the
home of her brother-in-law, Mr. John
Thames.
Mrs. C. P. Mcknight, who has been
keeping house for her brother, Mr..
C. L. Cattino, for the past year, has
moved to her country home, two

Mr.. T. P. Cuttino of Manning spent
a few days in our town last week.
The many friends of Miss Eva Cur
tbs will be pleased to know that she
will entertain them in the near tu-
ture by giving an excellent birthday
fete. Her announcement will appear
next week.
Pretty little Mamie aEd Hattie
Briggs of Silver spent ThursGey here

young, they are possessed of remark
able musical talent and are quite in
teresting and entertaining.
Guess what young lady resolved u
resolution, vowed vow and swore
off last Sunday night.
One young man says Summerton
is the garden spot of the world and
he is not possessed with ''yf" Ell
ther. What think ye?
We are little envious of Mr.. K. D..
Bradham for the valuable present
he received few days ago-a nice
horse and buggy-the donor being
his generous and venerable father,
Sheriff D. J. Bradham.
We are glad TO welcome Mr.. 7. NJ.
MOuZOn aluOLS IS DIS SeileSh4oA1 AZ oAiO
store of Mr.. D. NJ. Bradham.
We have been reliably informed
that the Atlantic Coast Line will ere
long be extended from Sumter to
Camden, a distance of thirty miles,
which means much better accommo-
dation OF. the Wilson and Summer
ton branch. Certainly this is step
in the right direction.
Much has been said about the pet
rifed man which has been exhibited
almost everywhere and profited his
owner, Mr.. Buff Of Lexington county,
considerable pocket change, now ap-
pears in Germany and proves to be a
fake, made of Lime and clay sallci-
tate Suppose Mr.. Buff was his
creator, he came very near making
him from the same material that all
other human beings were made Of
clay-but we are not sure about the
lime and salicitate. However, they
got the money.
Next week we hope to guess who
will be the next couple to be mar
ried. Some things look suspicious,
yet if we guess wrong then, we will
order young minister who is single
and then we will not doubt a
match BLoNDELLE.
