He informs us that the name of the town of Flemington ha3 been changed to Lake Waccamaw, and the name of .the postof&ce and : railroad station has also been changed to cor respond to the name of the town. This we think is right and proper, and we have often wondered that a town lying right alongside such a beautiful sheet'of water should not have received the same name. Improyed Order of Red Men.
