CHRISTMAS EDITION Shop Early! VOLUME XXIV EDITION Shop Early! s' CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1924 NUMBER 50 The Chronicle’s Cross-Word Puzzle Cross-word puzzles have taken the country by storm. It is recognized everywhere as the greatest sport ever conceived. • It is not just the children’s feature. It is for high school students and grown-ups. It is educational, it grips and holds, it is a most delighful past time for the winter evening. There is nothing new about them. They have been used as a pleasant recreation by children and a few grown-ups for years; but all of a sud den the great American public finds them more interesting than anything else in the line of pastimes. There is more sense than non-sense in the cross-word puzzle. It is edu cational. It stimulates research and increases the vocabulary. It is bring ing to light and will bring back into use many beautiful and expressive words that have disappeared from the speech and writing of the day. It is an offset to some less wholesome manias. In solving cross-words you fill in the white parts of the square with words according to the definitions giv en, starting with the space bearing the corresponding number and going through to the first black space reach- e<f or the edge of the square. Put only one letter in each square. .The hori zontal words read across to the right and the vertical ones down. When the proper words are inserted they will interlock. In order to provide Chronicle read ers with some of this delightful past time now sweeping the country, a) cross-word puzzle will appear in the paper each week beginning today. The answer to the puzzle will be printed the week following the publi cation of the puzzle. Vertical 1. Not this. 2. Illinois Central (aabr.) 3. Lower part of leg. 4.
