Clarendon Washing Her
 Face

From Clarendon, the county site. comes the news that every body is busy washing away the marks and signs of the muddy water of the recent overflow.
 Already the Levee Commission CTS are planning to build an addition on their levee so that they can withstand 60 foot of water. The present levee lost the fight for them at about 38 feet and hence it sounds like they were going to prepare for all kinds of emergencies by build ing for 3 protection from 60 foot of water.
 The Clarendon people have shown 3 fine spirit in overcoming their misfortune and here's hoping that they may soon for get it.

Of proven worth In every age some
