...thus restricted all of us for the second week in a row, it looked dark for the week-end boys." And then, the close escape this week, when it seemed as though tomorrow would also be half wasted. Only for Keith Broman (who, incidentally, is seeking public office, post bellum), we'd be looking forward to missing our 1 o'clock trains and dates. All is now settled...

The temperament of old Charleston invigorates the bosom of 71-year-old, baggy-suited Dr. William Watts Ball, editor of the Charleston News & Courier...
...Mocking Bird for $5. Lee & Walker, the purchasers, made a fortune. The song sold over 20,000,000 copies, was a favorite of Edward VII as a boy. Lincoln said: "It is as sincere and sweet as the laughter of a little girl at play." Many an ante-bellum baby was named after Hally, the fictitious girl over whom the song moons...
