Camden Plates for Camden Cars Kven a casual observer must notice hul the great majority of visiting ars passing through Camden bear atractive plates with the name of the ?wner's home town. Instantly you ire impressed that the owner is proud >f his town and is doing his part to idvertise it to the world. You respect lim for it. This method of advertisng has become universal. It is in xpensive, but very effective. I.ast Sunday morning a Camden itifcen and member of the chamber of commerce bad occasion to go oui to the Seaboard passenger station at train time. Out of thirty-three cars he noted only one bore the Camden plate and this car was owned by u winter visitor. It is strange that in towns that have not near so much to advertise as Camden nearly every car is adorned with a name plate while relatively few of our own cars are so equipped. It is not carelessness on the part of Camden people; it is thoughtlessness. Try and think today to call by the chamber of commerce and select one for vour car. It will be a source of pride to you, and will do a lot to advertise the town. We understand that the sign!} were ordered at the request of a number of citizens and the chamber of commerce has several hundred dollars invested ' in these signs. The price has been reduced to | seventy-five cents which is about cost. Masons to Confer Third Degree Kershaw Lodge No. 29, A. F. M., j through its worshipful master, T. V.

A special invitation is extended to visiting brethren to attend this comj munication. People who seek to adopt children always seem to favor girl babies; boys are not nearly so popular. | FARMING ON POLITICAL BASIS !
