Several letters to Santa Claus
were received from Cades last week
too late for publication. We trust.
however, that old Santa Claus was
kind to the little ones and made their

what they had asked for in their
letters.

probation a handsomely embossed and
engraved card of Christmas and

ence, parents of Messrs A G and L
F Swails of Kingstree, celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary
Sunday. Married in 1865, they have
lived at their present home site for
48 years. Because of the recent ILL
ness of Mr. and Mrs Swails, the occa-
sion was purely informal. Among
those present were Mr. and Mrs A G
Swails and children of Kingstree, Mr.
w Jas Swails of Wilmington, N C.,
Mrs Mary Eubanks of Hot Springs.
Fla, sister Of Mrs Swails, and Mrs
Bette Howard, who was a brides
maid at the wedding.
We acknowledge with thanks the
gift of a can of delicious homemade
syrup from Charles W Stoll, Esq.
The product of his Flat Branch
ranch is of very fine quality. Mr.
Stoll informs US that he has made IN
the nelghborhood of 500 gallons of
this syrup, which he had put up in
hermetically sealed gallon and half
gallon cans. We don't see why this
kind of syrup should not be prefer
able for table use to the CONNER
cial concoctions of less food value
and containing chemical properties
thai detract from their wholesome
ness.
MASS MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT.
