maze many Oh tIleW uuIlllS lei
six-year's stay in our town
much pleasure by spending some
days with them recently. She
went away Monday.
Mr. C A Brown came home the
latter part of last week from a
trip in North Carolina. He in
forms us that an important meet
ing of the stockholders of the
Lake City Manufacturing Co.,
of which he is manager, will be
held here this week.
Messrs G L Sauls and H j
Brown of Cades were noted here
Thursday afternoon on business.
Col ] P Epps and Messrs H ]
McFadden and G F Epps of the
Cades section, were among our
visitors Saturday.
Hon It B Gourdin, of Heine-
mann, spent Tuesday night and
a part of Wednesday in town.
He was on his way home from
Sumter.
Mr. J j B Montgomery was in
town a few hours Saturday
morning. He has no opposition
in his race, and therefore wears
a beaming smile-a kind of Gin
favor of everything' smile.
Should others appear against
him, he says he is ready for
pease orspoetry.
Quite a number of our people
attended the big picnic at Half
Moon Wednesday and with one
accord declare that the occasion
was a decided success in every
way. Several candidates passed
through town on their way down.
Among others we noted Messrs
J E Ellerbe, J w Ragsdale, Il P
Baldwin, P H Stoll and Olin
Epps.
Miss Rosa Hirschman, Of
Charleston, is at Mr. Il Mach
mans.
Miss Tillie Mincaugh of New
York is visiting friends in town.

The Lake City Bottling Works
will remove next to the Enter
prise Wood Distilling and Chem
| ical Co. at an early day. This
move will be made in order to
have larger quarters and to be
convenient to an artesian we'll
so that it's supply of water can
be taken directly from the well.
This company is furnishing ex-
cellent soda water and ginger
ale to all the cool drinks dis
pensers IN this section. 1t sells
by wholesale only and delivers
| it's products, which are equal to
any on the market, at lower
prices than can be obtained else
where. The soda and ale are
put up in latest style bottles
made. expressly for this COM
pany. Arrangements are being
made to get in the necessary
machinery for putting up coca
cola. Nothing like a little en-
terprise and faith in ones peo-
pie. "The possibilities Of our
soil ARE illimitable" and the
heights to which our people may,
and we hope will attain, beyond
bounds. The writer's faith in
old Williamsburg grows stronger
every time the strawberry
blooms, the ale pops or the Gu
cumber brings a "hurtin below
the umbilicus." Selah!
The annual meeting of the
stock holders of the Lake City
Hardware Co. was held on the

secretary and manager; w l.

made in the Board of Directors.
Reports were received and the
business of the year carefully
gone over. Everything was
found in excellent shape and the
results very satisfactory. A
good dividend was declared and
the rest of the profits were
passed to a surplus fund which
was thereby created. Messrs }
