MARCH
(By Thtrza Martin)
It's true that March has lots to do.
And grumbles much about It;
She's sort of housemaid for the year
And, lest someone should doubt It,
Rushes here and everywhere.
Her clumsy feet astumble.
Oh, March is anything but meek,
And anything but humble.
But March is good; she cuts and fits
A dress for April's wearing,
Stitches flounces Into place
With sense of chic and daring;
Then, lest the world should chance to
think
That she is kind and clever,
Ooes scuffing off in clouds of dust,
As arrogant as ever.
Mrs. Charles Iceman and Mr. and
Mrs. Carr Bowie left Friday for
Bladenboro where they attended the
funeral of Miller Bridger, and also
visited Mrs. Iceman's daughter, Mrs.
Levi Brldgers and family.
Mrs. Howard Williams and two
daughters, Marylln and Jo Ellen re
turned to their home in Benton
Heights last week from Apex where
they visited her parents.
