practical success in the business

mental Improvement, aud may
not in the future be so favored.
The writer has visited the
school in its practical working,
and has been most favorably i'm
pressed with the good work that
is being accomplished. The in.
stuctors are both men of finished

conscientious in their efforts to
achieve good results.

the encouragement of the school,
that it is composed of good mater

are hard at making a fav-

who are Interested IN the success

that good results will follow.

Newsy Letter From Kershaw.

Mr.. Editor: The recent show
ers have called off the atmosphere
considerably, and, our people
have gone to work light.
Our town presents quite lives
ly business place at present.
Our enterprising ond popular
physician, DR. j + w Halle, broke
ground yesterday, and the Geor-
gia buggies are kept buslIy en-
gagged rolling the dirt to clear the
way for the erection of a mans
moth building in which there will
be fitted up four handsome store
rooms, which will be, when COM
pleted, occupied by the live and
wide awake business firm of the
Farmers Banking & Mercantile
Company, of this place. The DR.
was very fortunate in getting such
lessees to occupy his fine rooms,
and they were equally as fortu-
nate in getting person who
would build rooms suitable for
their increasing business. Ker-
shaw is making n great many
changes just now, Mr. Moore, the
barber, had to move his barber
shop, to make room for the new
buildings, having occupied
building which was on the lot
where the new building is being
erected. He moved into the
room occupied by Mr. O Floyd,
our insurance agent, and Mr. Floyd
moved down on south end in
room in the Law Range, or the
Temple of Justice. Our Law
Range is quite popular place,
Notwithstanding it is situated
quite a distance from the business
portion of the town. Rent is
cheap and ice water is handy. Lee
Sowelfs ice house is in close prox-
unity to the building. Lee sells
ice cheap, and furnishes ice water
free.
Harry has had several cases be-
fore the Squire this week, IN
which he made good score every
time. think if his business con-
tinues to increase until fell as it
has for the past few weeks he will
get fat.
L don't think our school trus-
tees have had any meetings lately.
We still have no principal and
teachers elected to serve the en-
suing term, but | am prod to
say, believe we will have a
school, and that the patrons will
get principal that will please a
majority of them. | hope they
will, any way. There is one
thing that 1 can't understand
about this school trustee business,
and that is this, that man would
want to hold on to an Office that
had no money in it, though some
people may think, that it will give
them stepping stone to higher
place, or it may be that they
think by holding an office of that
kind they would be enabled to
give some Of their friends posi-
tion as teacher in the school. |
hardly think such is the case here.
hope not, any way.
Rumor is current on the streets
that our Intendent contemplates
resigning his Office as Iutendent of
the town in the near future |

not. CIrrzE>
