the serious illness OF her sister, MISS

land, Misses Maude Logan and
Agness Erckmann.
For the sake of our readers and
for her own sake as we'll we sincere
" regret to hear that Miss Leah B
Nachman, our bright and versatile
Lake City correspondent, is sick and
unable to send us this week her reg
ular interesting news letter from
our neighbor town. In common with
all our readers we hope for Miss
Nachman a speedy recovery.
Commemorative of his fifth natal
day, Master Louis Spurgeon Court
ney was host to a merry throng OF
his little friends and play-mates Fri
day afternoon from a to 6 o'clock at
the hospitable home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs P S Courtney. All the
little folk were delighted with the
entertainment provided them by the
youthful host.
We are heartily glad to welcome
back to the fold the "Prodigal' our
Trio correspondent. Having wan
dered into distant lands and seen
other places and people. We are glad
that he found no place quite so good
as old Williamsburg. Hope he will
often favor US with his breezy COM
munications. We are proud OF our
corps of correspondents.
Of late we have received several
communications signed with initials
or without any signature at all. The
latest is from Tunis, North Carolina,
signed "JFL." Who the writer is
we have no more idea than the man
in the moon. AS we have probably
said before, if the writer of aletter
for publication is afraid or ashamed
to sign his name, why waste stamps!
MIR W T Rowell of Trio was in
Kingstree Monday and informed US
that he is putting out twelve acres
of tobacco this week, and that he has
more plants than ne will need. This
is good news, since most planters
complain that they are short OF
plants, owing to the severe March
weather, and will be unable to put
out as large an acreage as they had
intended.
Of course the compositors on The
Record force are not addicted to
profanity, but if some of our cor
respondents knew how near it comes
to tempt them to "cuss" they
would not write on both sides of
sheet of paper when they favor us
with their communications. 1t
seems a simple matter, mere captl'
Gus fault-fnding. but to the printer
it means loss o. time and liability
to error, which is cause sufficient to
acidulate the sweetest temper.
Tuesday morning twelve citizens
in three automobiles left Kingstree

county in the interest Of the mas;
