St. Nicholas Makes His Usual Visit, and Everybody is Happy. Santa Claus made his anr.uai visit te Kinvrstree and Williamsburpr Monday night and his presence was felt Tuesday morning in every home in the county, it is believed, especially v> iicicvn iiicic ncir vtiuwiv u. It was a sane, happy Christmas to most of our dwellers, because the year has been a successful one from a business standpoint; the farmers harvested abundant crops, and received high prices for the product of their labor. They had more money to spend on their homes and families at this festal season than they have perhaps had in years, and as a result many homes have at last been provided with useful household articles that had before been only visionary. This conclusion is reached on account of the volume of business enjoyed by local mer? ? /J/?nl/>ro Tha tAum meruuama aim ucaicto. m\. was better equipped, perhaps, than ever before to handle the trade, considering the scarcity of many liDes of merchandise, the shipping embargoes and freight congestions that every part of the country has recently experienced. Now, making liberal deductions for these incumbrances it must be admitted that Kingstree's merchants did their part well in providing for the demands of their patrons. So far no one here has suffered from the shortage or entire lack of certain articles of commerce that o rn t f\ tfi Q11TV UUI inn Cliaiibo ait tvsvsrovv* vw *>w w.r ply, at times, however, they have had no little difficulty in obtaining some of these and found it necessary to limit the sale so as to allow all to get a small portion?this has been the case particularly, with sugar, and as a result, doubtless, less sugar was consumed for cakes and pastry this season than ever before. Where it has been the custom of the good housewife to bake four, five or six handsome big cakes and a dozen or so pies of different kinds, one or two cakes has been made to serve and pies?well they were practically cut out entirely? save for the delicious old sweet potato variety which requires little or no sugar, as syrup may be substituted. Turkeys were plentiful, though high, and adorned many tables at Tuesday's dinner. Geese, ducks and chickens were also to be had for the price and many of these less honored birds were served to appease the hungry hordes that look on Christmas day chiefly as a day of feasting. Yes, it was a happy occasion. The son or daughter who has been off at school was present to make up the missing link in the family chain. But in many homes there was a boy or two, perhaps three, missing from the family circle. His absence brought the fact strinkingly to mind that this grand country of ours is involved in a terrible war and he has been called to the colors to do his bit toward the establishment of universal peace and happiness.
