Our* tourist friends ' continue to come and as someone said who hap pened to be at the station one morn ing this week "And still they come."' So wonder, March winds may howl, Jul) skies may lower, and chill airs pinch up there in the frozen ? north, but down here ? the peach trees are in bloom! They have opened like a burst of sunshine, and on all sides is the glow of peach blossoms. , They seem to have alighted by chance here, there, and everywhere ? like wild flowers. You see them scattered over the cotton fields, sing ly or groups, covering the wasto places, malting long hedges,' embow ering t lie earth, und occasionally we see orchards, that are a ravishing ma/c of pink blossoms. In the yards we oe the beautiful lentcn colors of purple and gold, the violets and daffo dils. but a ride in the country brings ji endless procession of blossoming peach trees, and snowy clusters of wild plums. And everywhere is the >uhtle smell of Spring. The fra grance of the pines, and hidden away under the winter carpet of brown needles is Spring's lovely now carpet of pink and white arbutus. Birds are ringing from evgry tree top. All nature is in tune with the joyous peach trees, and sunny Carolina seems smiling through a veil of del icate pink blossoms. Those of us who call it home can truthfully say "the lines have fallen into us in pleasant places!" May it be the pleasure of all to assist the charming elForts of nature and to pass on to future generations ?n\ever more enchanting place to dwell in ? their rightful inheritance; Masons Conclude Annual Session.
