ening was most pleasantly spent at
games, music, etc. Music was charm
ingly rendered during the evening
by Misses Ruby Thorn, Ada Brock
ington and Lyllian Alsbrook. Deli
cious refreshments were served.
On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs
? S Courtney entertained the above
company at their hospitable home
in a highly enjoyable manner.
Messrs Jenkinson Bros Co have
purchased the stock of goods and all
the store fixtures owned and used
by Mr. Louis Stackley in his dry
goods business at the corner of Main
and Academy streets. Mr. Stackley
lately gave up the dry goods busi-
ness upon being appointed postmas-
ter at this place. With this transfer
oS his stock and store equipment we
note with some degree of sentiment
the passing of one of the oldest
business houses in Kingstree. Mr.
Stackley has been in the mercantile
business here for the past thirty
years.
Tomatoes, bell peppers and egg
plants! These choice vegetables were
the contents of a good-sized market
basket that came to us Monday from
our esteemed friend, Mr. Jas A Fer
rell of Salters Depot. And such
specimens! Truly they looked like
prize exhibits at an agricultural
fair. One omato-about the biggest
we ever saw-weighed II ounces, and
two peppers tipped the scales at It
ounces each! The egg-plants were
not unusual in size, but are worthy
of special mention because they are
our favorite vegetable, and we had
not been able to get hold of any for
a long time. They were fine, too.
If the business men of this town
could see the splendid edition Of The
County Record of last week. they
would realize the reason for Kings
trees rapid strides, and why it is so
much trade has gone to that town.
The trade follows enterprise and hus-
tie, and where the business men of a
town manifest activity it attracts
trade. No man can eat his cake
and keep it too" Look over the
newspapers and wherever the mer-
chants generally advertise that town
is on the move, but where they are
content to drift with the tide, there
is very little activity and progress.
Advertise, it helps the advertiser as
we'll as the newspaper, which cannot
live without patronage any more
than man can live without food
