81 have noticed it for years that
the Sunday before Christmas was al
ways the worst day about Clover" said
Magistrate Andy Quinn to Views and
Interviews at Glover the other day.
But this year it was as quiet as you
could wish for. There were no fights,
no carousing and very little drinking
around here. In fact it has been very
quiet Christmas season for Glover"

ing out buds of green shoots that look
like they would become blooms pretty
soon."

veloped custom of carrying electric
flash lights as protection against au-
tomobiles. A gentleman who came
from Rock Hill few nights since in
an automobile remarked the circum-
stance:

Hill and Yorkville last night, each OF
them carrying a flash light. Long be-
fore my automobile light discovered
these buggics the occupants were
flashing lights at me. was struck
with the circumstance, never having
noticed IL before. 1t Is evident that
travellers in buggies have come to the
conclusion that flash light is u good

over. Often you don't see buggy un-
til you are right up at it you know and
IL you Are travelling ut q pretty good
clip you can't stop very easily"
