On display and GARAGE S. C. either sell or hold as circumstances advise. The sugar famine, if it may be call ed sith, was brought to a close, or at least tentporarily relieved, last week when the several lerchatlt re ceived shipments amontintig to 10,000 pounds. This it is thought will sup ply needed demands for two or three months. But the coal shortage still prevails. As good fortune will have it, however, those who have failed to sevre the necessary amoutnt. of coal are able to get some wood and there is no danger of any one suffering. TIhen, again, we have promise just now of better weather which will re quire less fuel. Ve symipathize and grieve with i Mr. and Mris. Jesse M4atthews of Mount ville in the loss of their son, Waldo, whose death ocecurred last Thursday night after a very short illness. Waldo was a (uiet, good boy just. en tering young manhood witi the prout ise of a life necessary for good citi zensihip. Any death in at home, though IunaUvoidable as it is. is a grie'f inde scribab le w\ith tongue or pen, bu1t whe 11he bloom of young tiuihood is ,ug it is surely doubly so. The p:1t4,ail ihearts who n utist suffer .ne~h panare the' one:; who nied pur' :;incere't condolence.

"Glot duethi all thing:s well" is more true than it is diflicult to under:;land, however dilicult it may lbe. We hear much talk among the peo. ple of potatoes rotting and fruit freezing and jars htustiug from the severe col weather of the past four week:. It is so seliotit we have such a winter during a life time that we ;'all not see or will nlot learn the wis dom of preparing for the unusual though possibl event. Tiuild for enetmerg envies and we'll he seen re against the ordinary as well, is the lesson still to he learned.
