Supervisor G.. E. Cor.ey went to
Newberry this morning for the pur-
pose of bringing the new road
machine, recentlysspurchased by the
county, to use in the up-keep of the
roads, to Lexington. The machine
will be tried out first on the roads
in the Dutch Fork.
We told a pestiferous idler to go
to the devil the other day, and the
added pated shrimp had the nerve
to plank himself right down by our
side.
The many friends of W. E. Black,
principal OF the Lexington high
school, who had his hand terribly
mangled in a motorcycle accident
some days ago, will be glad to know
that he is doing as we'll as could be
expected. He is still in a Columbia
hospital, however.
DR.. J. J. Wingard has one of the
prettiest farms in the county. His
crops are in splendid shape, being
pleasing to the eye. DR.. Wingard
is as good a farmer as he is physi-
cian-and everybody knows his
high professional standing.
The many friends of Mr.. G. A.
Derrick will be pleased to learn Of
his convalescence. Mr.. Derrick was
able today to come down street for
the first time in several months and
he is looking remarkably well, con-

Col. G. T. Graham a former mem

making his home at Crescent City,
Fla, is the guest for few days at
his daughter Mrs. Karl F. Oswald,

resident of Lexington and was one
of the most popular lawyers of the
county.
Mr.. Fort Graham, who holds a
responsible position with the Georgia
Railroad Bank of Augusta Ga, spent
the weekend with his sister Mrs.
Karl F. Oswald. Fort is a son Of
Col. G. T. Graham, and their meet

prise neither knowing the other was
coming.
After the completion of the settle
ment with the comptroller general
on Tuesday, county treasurer E. L.
Wingard, was host to party of his
friends at a watermelon cutting, and
also to a fancy lot of peaches, all of
which were grown on his farm.
Mr.. Wingard is as good man as
ever lived, and he knows what it
means to treat his friends with acts
of kindness.
Mr.. F. S. Plunkett, representing
the German Kali Works of Atlanta,
