It was our privilege and pleasure to be pres ent at a very pleasant and informal occasion Monday afternoon when a committee consisting of Mayor. H. G. Carrison, Jr., Mr. Marion H. Heyman, Mr, W. L. DePass and Mr. K. I). Blakeney called upon Miss Blackwell to express the thanks and apprecia tion of the citizens for her unselfish labors and untiring efforts that were so wonderfully crowned with success. Mr. E. I). Blakeney'' was the gifted speaker for' the occasion and in a lovely speech or rather heart to heart talk, presented Miss Blackwell with a loving cup, appropriately engraved from the citizens of Camden and we feel sure that it tarried with it the wishes of all that it might indeed be life's enchanted cup, filled, to the brim and sparkling . with fortune's favors. Mr. Qlak^noy next presented, in be half of the citizens, a silver mesh bag almost full of shining gold. Miss Black well received these gifts grace ?fully but in her surprise and the full ; ness of her heart was unable to make a speech of acceptance. She evident ly agreed with Stoddard who says: "Silence is the speech of love, The music of tho spheres above." She has requested us to express her appreciation to the people and to as sure them of he I" love and loyalty to the town. Also to say that her suc cess and achievement was due to the fact that she had beautiful Camden with its glorious history to inspire her and the wonderful eo- proration of the best people in the wdrjd to make things possible and i bring them to pass. To this the people will reply: ?"Thy modesty U a candle to thy merit and talent."
