the days of the Civil War she dressed
in mans clothing and followed the
trail of the army, in search of her

nursed him back to health. But her
chief characteristic was her love for
her children, no sacrifice was too
great for her to make for them,
Though separated widely, she held
herself ready to respond to their call
of distress at any moment.
She was the mother of eight chill

ty in making a selection Of books

to suit the popular taste, however.
the committe asks any one who has
any books of any suitable character
whatever, which he or she is anxious
to see in the library, to submit a Fist
of such books to any member of the
committee. AS books are expensive
and not more than $4,000 can be
expended on books this year, it can.
not be promised that all such re-
quests can be acceded to, but popu'
liar demands will asssuredly have
weight in the selection of books. Il
lis hoped that many will feel inter
lested enough to submit suggestive
lists within the next few days a.

all concerned that the library viii

A State law provides that on ant

son who drives an unregistered Of

or across any public road. or street
or highway in the State of South
Carolina, shall be deemed guilty Of
a misdemeanor and be punished by
a fine Of not more than S25.OO. OF
Imprisonment for not more than IL
days for each and every offense.
In view of the fact that only about
one-half of the automobile owners
in this county have registered their
cars under the old law we call the
attention of all motor vehicle own
ers to a communication in this paper
by State Highway Engineer ] Roy
Pennell which sets forth the facts
on the subject.
Application blanks for the regis
sration of cars can be obtained from
Mr. Jno D Britton at the Clerk of
Courts office, which will save own
ers of ears the trouble of writing
to the State Highway Engineer for
them.
It should also be remembered that
IS per cent of the registration tax
on every motor vehicle in Williams
burg is turned into the county's
road fucd and will be used in the

The fact that -four is $500 per

be argument enough to induce every
family in the South to plant a gar
den and raise a pig. The serious
