Kor >ere is April weather!
the daffodil? beneath the trees
\tv all a row together.
The thrush is back with his old note;
The scarlet tulip blooming;
\r.el white, ay, white as my love1*
throat,
The dogwood boughs are growing.
The lilac bush is sweet again;
Down every wind that passes,
Kly flakes from hedge row and from
lane;
The bees are in the grasses.
And grief goes out, and joy comes irt,
And care is but -a feather;
\nd every lad his love can u/in;
Poi hero is April weather."

Miss Cor bet t Honored
A delightful social affair of the
>veek was the reception Wednesday
evening given at the beautiful now
home of Mr. and Mrs. Robin Zemp
by the graduating class of tho Cam
-len High School in honor of Mis.1!
Agnes Corbett, who is in charge of
the eleventh grade. The rooms were
,:nsuite, and flower-filled apple bios
soms, in their dainty pink and wWie,
yellow jasmine and snowyx^hite
logwood mingled with forest greens,
made a lovely setting for the occas
ion, where youth, jfiyousness and in
formality reigned supreme. The
members of the class showed their
appreciation, gratitude and love for
f.hcir faithful and efficient teacher
by presenting her with a weekend
ease, fitted out in detail. Tho pre
sentation speech was made by the
elass president, Jack Nettles and was
not only teeming with wit and humor
hut with love and loyally to the honor
j^uest from the class that he so well
represented. It is a great thing to
be a worthy teacher
?"Delightful task," to rear the under
thought, S
To teach the young how to live;
To teach high thought and amiable
words,
And courtliness and the desire for
fame,
And love of truth and all that makes
a man."
Miss Corbett accepted the gift and
the love that prompted it in a grace
ful and gracious manner. Block ice
cream and cake were served during
the evening. .

Just now when we aro hearing so
much of the far-famed Magnolia
Gardens on the Ashley and so many
of our people as well as our friend*
who belong to the touriht A&lony aro
journeying to the Carolina coast to
see them, and they art* worth it, our
civic pride is rekindled and refresh
ed and we are glad to pay a tribute
to Camden's own beautiful old-fash
ioned gardens?-gardens that have
abundant beauty, ample space and
variety of bloom. The garden has
always hold its own place in the
?realm of romance. In its shades aro
crowded-the half-forgotten glamor of
Nell (?wyn, who two and a half
centuries ago lingered amid its fra
grance with Charles, her royal .suitor,
anil without doubt the pretty little
actress received her distinguished
playwright thou-. I?\>r time inum
n^orial the garden has been an inspir
ation to thoso who bow at the shrine
of beaut\, as expressed by art and
nature and for all time it has held
the most prominent place in song
und story, Camden has many gar
dens of unusual charm and beneath
the spreading branches of the trees,
entwined with ivy, wisteria and jas
mine mingling the royal colors of
purple and gold, one is filled with a
sense of comfort and leisureness and
a desire to write and portray, how
_ev?r imperfectly, the beauty of the
surroundings. We revel in the va
riety and in the riot of color and
the delightful perfume that each
?flower wafts to us by the soft winds
that aro blowing from the South,
We seo so many favorites that are
as-popular today as they were in the
long ago. The fragrant hyacinth in
all its varied tints, the tulip, spring's
stateliest flower, the Spanish iris in
purple and ethereal blossom?, the
snapdragons, that we remember in
grandmother's., garden; tho yellow
coreopsis and the coreopsis in tones
of brown and gold, and many others;
Th<* daffodils, lovely spirea, and other
blooms of early spring are gone. And
their loveliness and abundant bloom
have slipped into memory. But spring
will soon merge into summer and
Camden's gardejja-^will don a sum
mer dress. The gladiolas, summer's
guard of honor, the stately hollyhock
and the queenly rose will come into
their own and reign for a while over
the flowery kingdom. Yes, a garden
is a lovesome thing, and Camden has
so many. See them and enjoy them!
"Beauty is everywhere! those who
see it not
Have clouded eyes, hearts fit for
mould
The . warmth of beauty permeates
' the earth,
And only sin is drear, and bleak and
cold;
Men shut their eyes and cry aloud,
'It is dark airrBrebus"; there is no
night.'
And so go groping mole-like through
the earth,
Shrouded in gloojn. where everything
'is bright."
