from a fraction above nothing along

es along the North Carolina line
measurements in different parts Of the
county Saturday afternoon, indicated
depths ranging from II to IA inches
Conditions throughout this immediate
section were unusually favorable for q
deep and lasting snow. The ground
was frozen hard and there was but lit
tie dampness in the atmosphere. The
snow came down in fine. dry flakes that
were slow to melt. Further south, the
flakes were larger and more moist. Al
Chester the fall was several inches
lighter than at Yorkville. At Columbia
the snow, after a few hours, turned tc
sleet and ice, and made the ground
sloppy and disageeable under foot
From a point about thirty miles

which lasted until almost daylight

REMEMBER THE DEAD
THE LIVING CARE FOR
THEMSELVES.

wv HEN you remember the dead OF
w YOUR family, you show to the
world that your love for them Is not
buried with the body. 1t is duty you
owe yourself and to the one that Is
gone, to place a neat Monument or
Tombstone over the last resting place
of departed loved ones. To do this the
expense Is not great, and 1t shows to
the world that your love for the dead Is
as lasting as stone. If you have rela-
tives buried in unmarked graves do not
let 1t remain 80, when the expense OF
marking the grave properly Is SO small.
Get my prices and see the styles OF
work I have to offer you.
