Friend DeCamp, of the Gaffney Ledger, has a way or' knocking out the rifts on cloudy days to get a glance at the glorious sunshine. Everything he writes is sunny. Read this one for the blues. It was not r selected, just the first one we glanced at on the editorial page of the Led- c' eer: As we came down to the office yesterday morning we met not less than two hundred cherry-faced, bouyant American citizens?male and female ?on their way to the factory of intelligence, and there wasn't an unkind expression on the countenance ^ of a single one of them. Is there any wonder a man feels fit for a i i day's work when he starts out under such circumstances? Happiness v walkine with Hope, and Laughter b with Song, is a scene fit for the Gols, I and this is what greets us five days a out of the week during the school term. We are thankful our home is 11 located where it is, if for no other reason than that we meet the children on their way to school. - _ Prayer of the Man in the Trench. ^ I shiver with the bitter cold fAnd ache from head to feet a And wrap my blanket iold on fold, As others do in lines untold.
