Pretty Old Grounds
To Be Improved
Camden people will be interested to
learn that a nursery will soon be added
to the city's industries.
The old Gerald homestead, now the
property of J. B. Zemp, on north
Broad street has been leased by the
Colonial Boxwood Company, of Lexington,
N. C., who will establish their
South Carolina branch here.
, They specialize in boxwoods, native
trees and shrubs and do big tree moving.
Mrs. Margaret E. Miller is the
manuger and she has had more than
twenty years experience in this line.
She is not unknown to Camden people
as she has done a great deal of work
on the pretty gardens of this citysuch
as the Belcher place, the Sam
Russell place, McKee Graham's and
the Newton Boykin's. She also assisted
in the city work of transplanting
the shrubbery on the Camden
Library grounds.
The building on the lot which was
partially destroyed by fire some time
ago is now being remodeled and made
Into office and living quarters. The
manager tells us that she will set
out shrubbery and evergreens in the
front yard and make of it a place of
beauty. The large garden space in
the rear will be used for growing
shrubbery.
This will be welcome news to Camden
people as it was rumored some
time ago that this property had been
leased to an oil company for another
filling station site.

city mail carrier out or
the Camden postofflce, has sufficiently

stricken in both eyes several weeks

found his eyes badly crossed. Ho received
immediate treatment by u specialist
