On trlQaV AFTERNOON MIS-. y.
B. Holiday was buried at Ever
green cemetery. Mrs. Holladay
was the daughter of the late
Ellis R. Richbourg Of this COM
munity, and was lady of great
amiability and will be decided
loss to our community.
Mr.. W. J. Holiday and wife
of Brunson, were here during
the week to attend upon his
mother during her illness.
On Tuesday night, the Both of
April, the Summerton Choral
Society will give an entertain
ment. Among the numbers will
be the chorus from the oratorio
s'The Holy City, % male and fe-
male quartets, vocal and instru-
mental solos. There will be
reading also by an elocutionist.
Altogether it will be quite a
pretentious program and will
repay the attendance of a full
house.
On Saturday night of the
fourth Of May, we will have as
an extra number to the Lyceum
Course, The Packing Co. This
company is composed entirely Of
female characters. and will con-
sist Of singing, instrumental mu-
sic and reading.
It was noted by the Alkahest
Co., that Summerton had won
for itself an erviable reputation
by the great success of its Lyce-
um course. At the last number
over 400 tickets were sold, and
while a great many of these
were to people from surround
ing districts still it is source
of pride to both town and com
munity that such was the case.
We understand that another
course for the coming season is
assured. We are fast becoming
the musical centre of the county,
and is another mark Of the tre-
mendous awakening Of this sec
ton Of the county.
A good many farmers are re
planting cotton. The corn
caught by the late freeze has
come out and only that on very
light soil will be entirely lost.
It is also noted that corn plant
ed very deep and in well pre-
pared land also escaped with
Comparatively little injury.
There was a hard fought legal
fbattle in our magistrates court
this week between members Of
the local bar and attorneys Of
the Northwestern Railroad. In
several cases the magistrate re-
served his decisions.
The chief of police swooped
down upon d gang Of gamblers
one night lately and Magistrate
Richbourg relieved. them of
seventy-fve dollars in fines,
This will give US another hard
street OF several hundred feet of
the new artesian well.
DR.. D. O. Rhame is to put in
a beautiful marble Soda Water
Fountain for the summer trade.
This outfit will cost something
like one thousand dollars. This
will give US two places at which
to relieve our innocent thirst.
The old reliable fountain" at
W. C. johnson Co.'S is already
flowing.
It is a girl, and T. S. Rogan,
besides wearing the smile of
honor, says heis no longer the
Zaccheus of the town.
Summerton will entertain sew
eral conventions this fall, be-
sides the Knights Of Pythias
District Convention already men
toned. Harmony Presbytery
will meet with the Presbyterian
church this fall.
j We understand that the school
trustees are arranging for quite
an elaborate affair some time in
the early part of May. 1t is in
tended to celebrate the laying of
the corner stone Of the new
graded school, and besides the
ceremony attending upon that,
there will be an address by Prof.
C1inkScaleS of WOfford College.
