An Apology. <0- :;>v ,
' We feel that we must ask the
Indulgence of our fronds for a very
uninteresting " page this week. It
seems U that society has been ice
bound ? "nothing doing" in social
circles. The young people have
been content with the beautiful
snow' and the very rare opportunity
of enjoying winter sports. The snow
balls were flying in every direction
. and the streets filled with happy
girls and boys, youths and maidens,
all enjoying to the fullest extent
the pure white mantle that envelop
ed the town. And the older folks
were content with their own fire
. side. Thetr own warm cozy rooms
were more inviting than their neigh
bors, however cheery and' bright
they might be. And not even
"bridge," with all its alluring fasci
nations could tempt , them to venture
.out.
? - : -
The poets were not the only ones
who "raved" when beautiful Cam
den was covered with a blanket of
snow. There were others! My!
wasn^t? it . cPldT That long ldls
tance message brought' an icy breath
from the far West ? that bllszard
breeding country. But after all,
, old Sol is king in fair Carolina and
it does not take him long to prove
4 himself ''monarch of all he sur
/ yeys.V and wrest his possessions
from the grip of. the ice king.

space to publish It. He is doing
well, and is one of the progressive
citizens In the town of his adoption
We were also pleased to hear re
cently a very flattering report of
Hicks Fort, who is not a native of

"Walter Lowry. He Is now a sue
