Lantern, August 13: ]. K. Henry,
ESQ, and the boys who were camping
with him on Catawba river, near
Wright's Ferry, last week returned
Saturday and all report a good time.
The boys say Mr. Henry did most of
! his camping in the hospitable home or
Mr. Blalock, while they spent most OF
their time boating with 'Mr. WILL for
whom they formed quite an attach
ment. Mrs. Belle Dove and Mr..
VIM. White, of the Armenia neighbor-
hood. were married at 2.S0 o'clock
Sabbath afternoon, August IL, 1907, at
the home of the brides father, Mr..
Neely Estes. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. A. E. Holler.. MT
w. S. Grant and two sons, of Spartan
burg, are visiting Mr.. Grants sister,
Mrs. T. A. Brakefield, and are having
delightful time. They also visited
his sister, Mrs. George Porter, near
I,owryville. While there they saw the
motherly turkey gobler that hatched
and Is caring for brood of guineas.
He began sitting in the field and after
few days was brought home and put
TO work on two or three dozen guinea
eggs. He watches over them with ma
ternal care and they seem to be very
fond Of him. Now the old question:
slightly modified, will be raised again
is the guinea that laid the eggs or
the turkey gobbler that hatched them'
the mother of the little guineas!
