Now is the time to come to Richland before property owners put advance railroad prices on their property, for the N. Sc. C. V. & Eastern is a fixed institution.

Oat meal mill, starch factory, in fact we would not be insulted if half dozen such establishments should be started.

Rev. Swanson and his wife, of this city, who were seriously injured near J. S. Nobles, in Jefferson County where he has been unable to be removed until last Thursday under the order of Drs. J. P.

One local merchant is 15 cents poorer since returning a loan of ten cents that he obtained some 33 years ago from Cliff Jones. Guess the former lad’s conscience got the best of him as he added five cents interest in paying his debt to Cliff. Seems as if that certain lad wanted just a nickel to go to the picture show but Cliff gave him a dime.
