ANOTHER JOYOUS CHRISTMAS.
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?

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

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.
