Carter and family'ac- companied by Miss Gertrude Carter left last week for Hendersonville N. C. to spend a month. Dr. C. 1. Goodwin returned Mon day, after spending several days in Charleston. Mrs. C. E. Wolfe of Charleston is visiting her mother Mrs. M. E. Wolfe.

Wolfe and daughters leave Monday for a month's visit to relatives in Charleston and Sumter. Messrs Madison Yarn of Sniders and Gordan Black of Beaufort paid Kuffin a pleasant visit last week. Mr. Editor 1 cannot resist quoting a little piece of poetry that has been continually running in my mind for the past few days; and as some of our little friends have previously said through The Press, that Ruffin has thorns as well as roses; this piece just reminds me of how I feel about these thorns. Here it goes. “This old world we are living in Js pretty nard to beat. ’ Every rose will have a thorn, cut amt, the rpses sweet.” SUM FOII REllff.
