Leland, the little son of DR. and
Mrs w L Taylor. while playing in
the yard at his home Saturday af-
ternoon, was bitten in the face by a
bulldog. We are glad to learn that

not serious and is healing nicely.
The many friends of Mrs Louis
Stackley and Mrs W H MCGEE will
learn with much pleasure that these

having been confined to their homes
with grip.

We call attention to the new ad
in this paper of the Kingstree Drug

ried assortment of garden seed it is

The special or initial opening of
spring goods advertised in this pa
per by the Kingstree Dry Goods Co
took place Yesterday and proved to
be an event of much interest to the
ladies of Kingstree and the near by
community. The display of pretty
dress goods, waists, etc, is. to say
the least, very attractive and even
makes mere man take notice, thrust
his hand into his pocket and wish he
had bag full of money.
We believe Miss Mary Grayson, of
the Cedar Swamp section. deserves
highest reward for the largest lemon
ever grown in South Carolina. The
specimen we were shown yesterday
by Mr. Walter Steele is pear-shaped
and measures IA inches in diameter
one way, Is inches the other way and
weighs II pounds. 1t is smooth, yel-
low and almost perfect in form. The
tree that bore this fruit is about IL
years old and bore a crop of IL lem

specimen on exhibition at his furni-
ture store.

Mr. M H Jacobs will continue the
business at the old stand and will
also open a store on the east side OF
the railroad in the Nexsen building.
