A Social Event. "MatohIng Stars"

The beautiful and spacious country
home of Major and Mrs. VIM. j. Strib-
ling was the SCENE of much gayety on
Friday evening last, the occasion being
an entertainment given by the Misses
Stribling In honor of their fair guests and
handsome boaux, Miss Nance, of Due
West; the Misses Stribling, of Westmin-
ster. and Allen Watson, of Ninety-Six
Geo. Watson, of Greenwood, and Wales
Lowery, of Seneca.
On the arrival of the guests they were
presented with red star, to be used as a
score card in the lively contest of
"matching stars" This contest was en-.
tered into WITH zest and good natured
rivalry. AS star was matched, the for
tunate one would have q small gold star
pasted on her score card and when time
was called Miss Nance had gained the
largest number and was presented with a
picture framed in large star.
A delicious ice course was served on
the piazza and lawn, which were lighted
by numerous Japanese lnterns. The
punch bowl, being in the extreme corner
Of the lawn, was the excuse for strolls
but many couples fingered OH the way
tempted by the numerous rugs and cozy
corners on the lawn. Some of the fai,
guests added much to the pleasure of the
evening by their sweet music.
At last the happy party broke up, each
returning to his or her respective home
to dream of the charming evening they
had just spent at this hospitable home in
suburban Walhalla. The Misses Strib
ling are charming entertainers.

John II. Pltchford Elected Circuit Jndge

The many South Carolina friends of
John Henry Pitchford, formerly of Wal
halla, will learn with pleasure that he
has recently received the Democratic
nomination for Judge of the First Judi
cial District of Indian Territory. A let
ter of date 17th instant, written by him
to his brother, @. w. Pitohford, of Wal
halla, conveys the intelligence of his
nomination. 1t appears that the First
judicial District is composed of Sequo-
yah, Adair, Cherokee and Delaware
counties.
There were several candidates for the
position and the campaign was exciting.
AS the Democrats have a safe majority In
the District the nomination is equivalent
to an election. The office is similar to
that of Judge of Circuit Court in
South Carolina and carries salary of
$4,000 per annum for term of four
years. We unite with many friends in
copgratulating ''Henry" upon his cleo
tion, and the people of his district, among
whom he will hold the scales of justice
with an even hand. This is another in
stance of Oconee boys "making good''
wherever they 60.

Mr.. Heaton is miller by occupation

He procured fruit jar and placed some
water in it and then put in the "snaka,'

looked at the jar, and, to his surprise, he
found 1t about one-sixth full of the snakes.
He had small bottle, and transferred
the mother Serpent to it, with, as said
before, about 100 of her offspring. He
could not get over half the children in
the bottle and threw the remainder in
the creek. ..

Capt. William Perry died at his resi-
dence in Walkalla on Tuesday, 25th In
slant, at II a. M, after lingering illness
from the infirmities Of age. He was
born at Patterson, New Jersey, on March
20, 1919, his parents being James and
Ellen Walker Perry. His youth was
spent in that city, and at the age Of eigh-
tsen years he came Co Virginia. where he
resSded for several years, engs. ed in the
manufacturing business. v 4
On June 90, 1845, he was happily mar
ried to Miss Margarct Mo- Carly, OF Alex
andria, Va. A few years before the war
they removed to South Carolina and lived
for some time at Vaucluse, Aiken county,
whore he was in charge Of cotton mill.
At different times Capt. Perry was en-
gagged Ia the mapufaoture of cotton goods
at Vaucluse, Batesville, Reedy River and
Pendleton in this State. About twenty.
five years ago he removed to Walhalla
with his family and has resided here ever
since. &. e.s...
He served one term Of four years as
postmaster of Walhalla under the admin.
istration of President Arthur.
Mrs. Perry died here ten years ago.
He leaves surviving their eleven children,
namely: Mrs. e. G. Roberts, of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn.; Mrs. j. w. Keys, Char
lotte, N. c.; Mrs. S. X. Dendy, Walhalla

His remains will be buried this WED

In the death of Captain Perry we lose

ton mill men of South Carolina. After
retiring from business, he located in
Walhalla, whore his latter years were

His long life of more than four score
years was one of great usefulness. Dur
ing the days Of mature manhood he gave
his entire attention TO the conduct of
cotton manufacture. In this work he
spent and was spent; and to such cour-
ageous pioneer spirits the manufacturing
South to-day owes debt of lasting graft
tude. They belonged to the former gen.
which so many since have followed.
In domestic life Capt. Perry was de.
voted husband and affectionate father.
He was greatly blessed in his children,
and at the ripe old age of over eighty.
seven years, he leaves eleven children,
several grandchildren and great-grand-
children surviving. To them he has left
the record of a life we'll spent, and the
precious legacy of good name.
