"i Everywhere in the Kingstree school the Christmas spirit is filling the air. All the grades are having trees and many are the secrets and whispering of "Christmas gifts." The primary grades presented a play on Tuesday night for the benefit of the Parent-Teacher Association. The teachers of the county enjoyed hearing the address by Mr. Hope, the new state superintendent The next meeting will be held on January the 20th, but the program is not yet complete. All teachers of the county are urged to come to these meetings for many things of importance are discussed. We hope the rumor of a new high school building is founded on fact and that we will soon be able to see it become a reality. School closes for Christmas on December the 20th and opens for work again on January 3rd. We wish you all a merry Christmas. Honor Roll.

Everywhere Christma decorations brought out the joy o the season that was already bubblih in the hearts of the young people After every one had arrived, the were told find the partners wh waited for them at the end of myria strings which were wound in and ou about the house. The boys were giv en one end of the string and th girls the other, and the effort to fin each other caused much merriment A second clever plan for mating th young people was the giving to eaci one a card <on which directions wer written, such as to stand in the corn er, etc. The boys were told to obe; the orders written on the card whicl they drew, and the girls to find th boy who was doing the stunt tha was suggested on the card hande her.
