Mr.. w. W. Douglas tho s+ock of the
famous II. S. s. M. makers. They are
the best clothes we ever saw. In fact
they are the perfection of hand-tailored-
ready to wear clothes. Hayden Bros.
are the exclusive selling agents for
Omaha. Prices are astonishingly low,
but that is not the principal reason for
buying them. It's what you get-per-
feet style, perfect tailoring, perfect fit
and the long service these things assure
you. Even our oldest statesmen, ac-
customed as they are to the splendid
values of this store, are enthused over
the new spring garments that have just
come in. The variety is greater than
ever.
Mr.. ". w. Douglas WiH point out TO
you the many little but important points
of excellence Of our spring suits and shotc

Mr. Editor, and you think a ''four
foot trumpet wouldn't sound worth
cent" eh? Well that depends on
who is to sonnd it. Billy thinks
four feet and four inches pretty
good for SQUASH; then too, he hopes
to improve the seed and probably
you may succeed in getting a longer
one. As for one reaching to "puga-
tory" if you have delinquents there,
I am sorry for you and pity them
and my advice to you would be not
to 90 there after them. Should you
be necessary compelled to do so,
Billy would suggest that you send
the "Devil' for 'em.

The small grain crop is still very

There was a cake walk and an egg

which was enj,yed by the young

cake were Mr. Youman Sem with
Miss Minnie Dunbar, Mr.. Joel Gun
ter With Miss Hattie Smith. How
We did feast on that beautiful sweet
cake and eggs.
Bright and early next morning,
after Gods green earth had been re-
freshed by good rain, We assembled
at Smith Branch to our Sunday
school, and to renew picking eggs.
About the time Sunday school closed
We were house bound by a heavy rain

will be brought to the bar of justice
to receive due rewards.
Let me tell these agents that if
they don't want to get insulted they
had better not fool with the farmers
when it is a good time to work.
TIE woodman's ak has about
ceased in the forest and you can now
hear the sound of the hackman and
pullerman nowadays turpentining.
Corn planting is now thing of the
past with US and our cotton patches
are receiving attention.
We learn that Rev. Marlborough
will preach at Pelion some time in
next month. He is good preacher.
Mr.. Editor, the dogwood is in full
bloom. Come down and let's invade
some of those deep dark holes in
Black creek. I don't think that
North Edisto is much better for fish
than this creek. I and another per-

night and they we're good averaged

less time than an hour. II We had
stayed till midnight no telling what
the result would have been.
