Editor Chronicle: During these haiVl times, the scarcity of good things to eat and of the wherewith to purchase same, it is indeed pleasant to know that one lias. a few real friends who remembers that while they may have plenty, there are others who have not. We desire to mention two specific in sUnces of good cheer which happened to the writer last Saturday. On Sat urday morning Mr. and Mrs. J. 13. Gardner, of BlKhopville, route 4, drove by our home on their way to Kershaw and left a sack of ^ega tables, a gen erous chunk of pork, a hag of meal and one of hominy ami several Florida oranges aiid grape fruit. At regular intervals, during our nearly four years of invalidism, Mr. Gardner hns re membered the writer and family with various articles of food, cash, etc. Ver ily both he and his estimable wife are friends worth while. 1 On Saturday afternoon another good friend of ours, Mr. Stogner, who lives a couple of miles above town, sent us a nice load of wood, a bag of |>otatoesf a piece of pork, some collards and a Jar of canned tomatoes. To these and the other good friends who have remembered us? we wish to extend our sincere ami heartfelt thanks. J. K. Gardner. Jiethune, 8. C., Feb. 24. Sovereigns of W? O. W.
