P'0'0h' heoiiy every udy. iue
judges son James gave him a phon.
ograph and held an entertainment
at Parktown Sabbath afternoon. 1t
was well attended by mothers with
their little ones. He found the class
who attend his entertainment much
more refined and pleasant, it appears
more like a paradise to him. We
hope he will continue to interest the
mothers, girls and boys and when
the roads get better he will be invited,
to Virginia.
Several families who intended NOV
ing last week, did not on account OF
bad roads.
Married, at the home OF the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. +. Jones,
Edith NJ. Jones to II. +, Ison, Elder
Coffee, pastor of the Christian church
officiating. The bride was adorned
in a beautiful grey gown. The groom
wore conventional black. Only few
relatives and friends were present.
They were recipients OF many beau
tiful presents. This young couple
are among our best families. We
wish them a hong and useful life, and
we are sure the community will have
been better by their having lived in it
\ petition will soon be circulat-
ed to see how many will save eggs
layed on the Sabbath, sell them, and
put the money into a church fund to
be paid out ut the end of the year To
the different pastors. 1t would save
the trouble OF asking the members to
pay up.
