to announce that the joint meeting
of the Johnston and Edgefeld chap
tiers, D. A. R., will be held at the

The earliest sweet potatoes that
we have seer were brought to The

record surpassed?

of a car.
Mr.. John r. Tompkins and his two
little sons, George and Robert, did
the proper thing in moving their

with DR.. C.. E. Burts' church in Co.
lumbia.
