In an informal American Colonel - room, these decorators suggest that you usj? accessories that will be in keeping, •antiques or copies of old pieces in informal materials such as pewter, brass, old copper, American hand made glass, and primitive pottery. Brass fireplace equipment and mantel ornaments of copper are at home in the Colonial background; they combine happily with hand- wqven fabrics and chintz printed in sprigged or geometric patterns. ' Hand-blown and hand-pressed glass for table and decorative use will ’highlight the room and fit in with the Colonial atmosphere. Milk glass and clear pressed glass in au thentic reproductions of .the quaint old patterns is being made by hand todly by American glassworkers who have used the same pains-taking me thods for generations. • . For important little touches in the informal Colonial interior, use hur ricane lamp shades, candlesticks, candelabra, infinite varieties of bowls and vases for fruit and fk>w- [ers, antf other decorations. Milk glass plates with hand-decorated fruit pat terns, or with lace-like lattice edges, may be hung on the wall over the mantel instead of pictures. American handmade glassware in cranberry red, chartreuse or emerald green, co balt blue, topaz or amethyst will be effective. Prized, hand-worked samplers, old prints, patchwork quilts and hand-woven rugs fit into the Amer ican Colonial picture. Furniture in cherry, walnut, pine, maple and birch is in keeping, and shades of russet, mustard, yellow, ruby red, olive or pine green harmonize well. another college if they feel they' might benefit more by going to an other school/ • — Lydia Probably To Continue j Baseball There has been some talk going around town that says the Lydia baseball squad will be discontinued but according to reliable sources the team will probably continue to en ter the competition of the mid-state league. For one good argument, the Lydia backers bought new uniforms and equipment at the end of last season and if the club was to be discontin ued they probably wouldn’t have made such a move.

The hosemen will have one of their toughest battles on their hands Saturday night when they clash with Erskine’s Flying Fleet.' Hosemen Meet Fleet The state standings of collegiate basketball may be changed some what Saturday night when the Blue Hose, the second place team of the state clashes with the Flying Fleet from Erskine, the state’s leaders in the standings. Presbyterian should show up very well and is expected to give the highly touted men from Erskine one of the battles of their season’s car- rer. Erskine sports some of the tallest basketball players in this state but their heighth isn’t their main qual ity since they are sporting some of the best shots in the state. Presbyterian will have to be up and in their best form to take a vic tory from the Fleptmen but it can be done. Some of the reasons for the opptomistic view point is Dwight “Willy” Groninger and Kay Hill. Groninger seems to be stepping back into the form which won him a place on the all state squad last year although he was just a mere freshman. Kay Hill has been the biggest sur prise -of the year as he has had lit tle trouble racking up 19 and 20 If Ton Don’t Read THE CHRONICLE Yon Don’t Get the New* FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 24th of February. 1950, I will rendej a fina. account of my act? and doings a Administratrix of the estate of Frank H Williams in the office of the Judg • of Probate of Laurens County, at 1 o’clock, a m , and on the same day will apply for a final discharge from my trust as Administratrix. , Any person indebted to said estati is notified and required to make pay ment on or before that date; and al. persons having claims against said estate will present them on or before said date, duly proven x>r be foreve barred.

Fallaw Receives Offer From Davidson Herbert Fallaw, 178 pound end on the Clinton high school football team of 1949 has received an offer from Davidson for a football scholarship. Fallaw hasn't decided as yet as to whether he will accept the bid or not but he is going up to the school sometime in the near future to dis play his talent. If Fallaw does ga •to Davidson he will probably be switched from end to some other po sition in the line since his speed might held him back from being the best college end. There were other boys from the Red Devil roster who received bids from Davidson but these boys, Eu gene Simmons, and Curtis Freeman had already decided to go to PjC. , although they are still'free to choose Savings Accounts 3%—DIVIDEND—Z% We invite savings accounts from the people of Clinton and vicinity.
