Passing Events Of Living Interest
Caught on the
Fly.
LAKE CITY, December 15:-Mrs
j n Sturgeon spent some days re-
Gently iu Florence with her sister,
Mrs 5 W G Shipp.
Rev ] E Rushton is III Greenville
attending Conference.
At church conference on the first
Sunday the Baptists unanimously
recalled Rev T J Rook, the present
Pastor, and this time the Call does
not limit the time to one year, but
continues in force until terminated
by :.ither party on notice Of three
months. Besides this, the salary
was increased. Thus have the Bap-
tisSs indicated their regard fo, and
confidence in Rev Rookie. This
church never before extended such
u ilattering call to any one. In his
quiet. uuassuming way this man is
u power for good.
Mr. C Josey Of Dock passed
through Lake City recently on his
way home from a visit of two weeks
in Darlington, Lee and Kershsw
counties. He saw many old friends
and relatives, wandered amid scenes
of his boyhood days and stood once
again under the roof where his eyes
first opened upon earth. The hole
in the back of the barn cut by
Yankee soldiers to get out the corn
brought buck memories of long ago.
Mr. Josey enjoyed the trip exceed
ingly and says it made him feel like
. new man-renewed his youth.
Mr. : W Gowdy is having a store
house built on his lot next to DR.
Courtney's drug store. He expects
it to be completed by January ths
first when the business of Messrs j
F Rickenbaker & Co will be moved
there.
Mr. J Cleve McElveen has moved
in town into the residence which he
bought from Mr. j L Strckey. We
understand that Mr McElveen will
open up stock of goods in the
house now occupied by MIR J H
Brilles.
January will witness several busi-
ness changes in our town. Messrs
johnson & Hanna will then open in
the Daniel store; Mr. H L Carter
will leave here, unless he can secure
y house, which hardly seems possible;
Messrs Rickenbaker & Go, will move
into new quarters; Mr K A Cook
will embark upon the choppy sea of
trade in the house now occupied by
Mr. j H V Gaskins; Mr. Gaskins will
move his stock to the Webster place;
and DR. johnson may 60 to the West.
Besides these changes Others are ru-
mOreu.
The regular election for municipal
officers will be held on the 2lst in
slant, notice of which has been given
bv the council. 1t behooves every
citizen TO be interested in this mat
ter. It's really the duty of every
good man-every man who respects
law and order and wishes to further
the prosperity of the town, to have
this thing at heart. We ale well
aware that those who are competent
and fitted to administer the affairs of
the town avoid the Offices. One
who would discharge the, n. .tjes of
or warden does L want
the position. There is Meth. eas-
ure nor profit to be gained, but per-
feet harvest of backbiting, mis-
! understanding and abuse Is to be
reaped. We realize -ld appreciate
this fully. We hay sat in the
