Convention In Charleston.


Clinton, Nov. 81. Thanksgiving is in
the air, and if the gobblings of turkeys
are any indication it is to be an enjoy
able one. There will be any number Of
family dinings, and several hunts have
been planned. The dancing crowd look
forward to a brilliant dance Thanksgiv-
ing night.
Last Friday Clinton voted unani-
mously in favor of the establishment
of High School here under the new
school law. True, the vote cast was
small, but there was no opposition to
the proposition, and the State board is
expected to grant the application.
Last Thursday night house was
burned down in the Clinton mill village.
The alarm was given in the middle of
the night and the newly organized fire
companies responded with zeal, but the
flames had too much the start of them.
There are some suspicious circum-
stances about the fire. The family oc-
cupying the house were away from
home at the time of it's occurrence, and
some people think it was incendiary.
OF this, however, there is no proof.
Young's Pharmacy has recently in
stalled one of the handsomest soda
fountains in the county. Work is pro-
crossing well on the new cement block
building which Young Bros. are erect
ing on Musgrove street. This active
and progressive firm is an example of
the business spirit of Clinton.
The stores are beginning to get
ready for the holiday trade, and the
window displays draw the American
eagles from their lurking places in
spite of the financial crisis.
The weather for the past two weeks
has put stop to much of the usual So
cial activity. Last week the only day
even partially clear was Tuesday. This
week, however, has been lovely. A
small number of the younger set en-
joyed delightful affair given by
