VGiv? love, and love to ?vour life will
flow,
A .strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and a score of hearts

their faith in your word and deqd.
For life in the mirrov ol' king

It is just what we are and do;
Then, give to the world the best you

And the best will come back to vou."
Coming Marriage of Cordial Interest
Of more than statewide interest is
the recently announced engagement
of Miss Josephine Meussen of Wood
mere, Long Island, to Mr. Thomas
f)ouglas Ancrum formerly of Cam
den, now of Chester. Miss Meussen
is not a stranger in Mr. Ancrum's
native town ab she visited hero as
the guest of Miss Elizabeth Carri-1
son and also of Miss Ethel Yates and
was a bride's maid in the brilliant
wedding of Miss Carrison and Major
Sumner Waite in the autumn of 1023. !
She is the fortunate possessor of
Krace, charm, beauty and splendid
mental attainments that blend in a
pleasipg and winning personality. It
is a platter of much regret to Mr.
Ancrum's host of life-long friends
that they are not to make their home
in Camden they at first contem
plated. Business changes moved Mr*
Ancrum to Chester where he is **ow
manager of the Southern Cotton iOlfc
Mill and where, after their marriilge
on May the 16th they will make their1'
home and no doubt win popularity fin
the business and social circles of that
progressive little city with its de
lightful social atmosphere.

Didn't Like Looks of Judge
The lawyers appointed by Judge De
Vore to defend George Durham, alias
Sam Durham, a negro who was under
indictment on a serious charge, had
a hard time convincing him yesterday
afternoon that the best thing he could
do was to plead guilty to another
charge, the court having permitted
him to plead guilty to assault of a
high and aggravated nature or stand
trial on the other offense, oonv.iction
of which would have meant a long
sentence, if not the death penalty.
"I been criss-crossed in court once,"
the negro told his lawyers, "and I
don't want to plead guilty to nuthin'.
To tell you de truth I don't like the
looks of dat judge," and he walled
his eyes at Judge DcVore. Durham,
however, was finally persuaded to en
ter the plea of guilty and he accept
ed a sentence of one year on the
roads with more or less satisfaction.
Durham is said to have come to this
county with some traveling shdw sev
eral months ago.?Greenwood Index

^ -Library' Notes
v The 'library management has re
cently put in a number of new books
?class books as well as fiction, and
the renewed and active interest of
the city council in this important in
stitution has given a telling effect
to its usefulness and popularity. Vis
itors from every section of the coun
try have enjoyed its privileges and
it is certainly very gratifying to hear
their fi^orable comments oh the se
lection 6i'books and the general use
fulness of the library. To mar>y it
is of more than passing interest for
they expect to return next season
and enjoy its privileges again, and'
these are taking- it home on their
hearts, jts interest and its extended
influence for theyrfeil that they have
a shan't* tn its ownership and when
they return season after season they
feel almost a civic pride in the lib
rary's success and advancement. And
this is as it should be for* we want
to extend the cordial hospitality of
every institution to the guests with
in our gates. And let us also ex
tend an invitation to our own peo
ple to use tho library. It is yours!
"Dreams, books, are each a world; *?
and books we know,
Are a substantial-World, both pure
and good.
Round these, with tendril's strong as
flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will
grow."
