with friends.
Mr.. b. f. Stanley has secured the
nice, new dwelling house built by
Mr.. J. NJ. Kennedy on Dansing
Street, and with his family will
take charge about Ian. lst.
Mr.. f. T. Moody recently sold his
farm to Mr.. D. l. Johnson. He
rented his dwelling to Mr.. 10
Harrell and is now disposing of
his goods and chattels. He is think
ing of trying his fortune elsewhere.
Rev. e. z. James was in town
last Wednesday on his was out to
visit his parents. He is now at
Union, where has had charge of the
second Methodist church for the
past year. His friends, and he has
many in this section, will be pleased
10 learn that he is looking we'll and
is meeting with success in his
work.
Until fow days ago we were not
aware that Mr.. G. +. St.Amand had
removed fran Kingstree or that
Kingstree, rejoicing innew life and
looking forward to a glorious fu-
ture, had assumed the name "Pros-
perity.D We refer TO the statement
i'm the News and Courier that Mr..
C.. st. Armand, of Prosperity, had
been admitted to the bar.
On last Sunday the Baptist Sum
day school resolved to have a
Christmas tree for the little ones,
AMI invited the Presbyterian and
Methodist schools to join. 1t will
be held on the night OF the oath.
The committee appointed to look
after the matter expects to get up
something a little out Of the ordi-
nary in order to give interest to
dhe occasion.
On tomorrow, the 10Th, the an
nual election Tor intendant and
wardens will be held. So far we
have heard the name of only one
candidate mentioned for intendant
and no one mentioned for wardens.
We understand today that the
gentlemen whose name has been
mentioned for intendent will not
accept the place. There seems to
be very little interest in the matter.
If any efforts are being made to
put in any particular man or set of
3ncn, the work is being done very
quietly. Men do not tumble over
each other to get these jobs.
We understand that Nachman
Bros. and II. Nachman have filed
petitions in bankruptcy, and that
Henry Hirschman, of Charleston,
has been appointed receiver. The
stores at this place and at Scranton
are closed. On the. doors and win
.d0ws Of the store here there are red
seals bearing the legend, "AeMly
Hirschnian, receiver" We have
hearl o number of reports rs to the
condition of affairs, but do not think
we would be warranted in saying
anything on this point, as we know
nothing except from these rumors.
Magistrate Gaskins is getting
merry as the festive season draws
near. At the "lower sessions" last
Friday he put in some pretty good
work for the county, Vance Nc
Clam was up on two charges, as
sault and carrying concealed weap-
ops. He was found guilty on both,
and sentenced on the first TO n fine
of $500 or thirty days. The fine was
paid. On the second charge he
was invited 10 sacrifice $25 on the
altar of his country Or spend thirty
days Qncludln Christinasl in the
county's pullman car" He ac-
cepted the latter alternative. Will
Singleton, alias Big Wheel, was SO
chagrined ana mortified at the
petit jury in acquitting him week
before last, that he, on last We'd
nesday went over to the Lake City
Basket G Lumber Co.'S mill and
appropriated to his own use and
behoof the several goods and chat

being kept away from his home.
The magistrate sentenced him to
