cloth at 10c yard. W. D. RHoAD.
There was very small attendance at
the Knights of Pythias meeting last Mon.
day evening. The absence of several
officers is thing to be deplored. When
a member is elected to fill an office he
should never miss meeting.
The Pearlstine insurance case was de-
cided by the Supreme Court last week,

The backs of the seats in the Methodist
church are being badly scratched by per.
sons resting their'feet against them. This
is bad practice, and we trust those who

tinue it. These pews are handsome and
they should not be defaced in such
manner.
The suggestion that the Orangeburg
district parsonge be transferred to Bam-
berg has met with much favor among our
citizens. Bamberg is nearer the center
of the district than Orangeburg, and our

nice building for the residence of the pre-
siding elder. '.,
Shoes are higher, but by carrying such
large stock have many to offer you at
old prices. ". u. RHoAD.

tractors for the new building for the

to erect a three story building.

state last week that one of the most beau

Stokes Several of the applicants for
church membership were baptized.

Mr.. n. J. Brabham has taken up the
matter of erecting a Confederate monu-
ment at this place, and will no doubt push
the matter to successful conclusion. 1t
will be remembered that this matter was
agitated q year or SO ago and the ladies
raised about $500 in cash. Several hun
dred more was subscribed and it is now
proposed to collect these subscriptions
and raise enough money by additional
subscriptions to build the monument.
