Miss Ethel Folk Happily Married to Mr.. Bow
man Still Last Sunday.
Were we inclined to be pessimists rather
than optimists, We should look not upon
Blackville's gain but upon Bamberg's loss,
and this because one of our most pleasant
faces has been removed from among the
young social set of our town. TO sister
community. Christmas bells with all that
accompanies such sound, had hardly
ceased to ring out the gladness OF the
season when through the air came
warning, warning to tell US that we
were about to give to neighbor most
valuable gift and that we should be not
all of gladness ere the season of Christ
mas tide had ended.
So on last Sunday evening, amid a
crowd of friends and relatives, Mr.. Bow
man Still, of Blackyille, claimed as his
bride Miss Ethel Folk, of our town, and
Rev. NJ. W. Hook, recognizing the claim
of the claimant, united them as man and
wife. The room being decorated in ivy
and evergreens, it was most effective
scene to those present, when the chief
actors in the play marched in to the tune
of Mendelssohn's wedding march as rem
dered by Miss Annie Lou Byrd, and
plighted their troth meath the overhang-
ing branches.
When words of congratulation had
been spoken, the witnesses walked into
the adjoining room where a very elegant
supper was served.
But now we hear the distant rumble OF
the approaching train so to the depot we
turn and there the rice nearly blinds US
and the old shoes which are in evidence
would make one think that shoe factory
had been plundered. The train is moving
off and with it goes our wishes for Joy
and happiness to the bride and groom.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Hon.
and Mrs. H. C. Folk, and has always been
very popular with the young people OF
Bamberg, all of whom wish for her the
very best in life.
Mr.. Bowman Still is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. I. F. Still, of Blackville. He has
many friends all through the State, hav-
ing been student at the South Carolina
Military Academy for number of years.
Mr.. Still is in business with his father,
and has bright future before him. The
young couple will make their home in
Blackville.
