Clinton, January THE holidays
passed merrily in Clinton. There were
some small disturbances and the town
council found little more occasion for
It's services than usual, but no serious
cases were brought before it. An un-
fortunate affair occurred on Christmas
day, which resulted in the loss to the
police force of one of its most genial
members, Capt. Bobo. His place was
filled by the election of Mr.. j. G..
Smith.
There were number of marriages
this Christmas season. On Sunday af-
ternoon, at the home of the BRIDES
parents, Miss Lydie Ray and Mr.. w.
Pink Horton were united in marriage
by Rev. Mr.. Hodges. The wedding
was witnessed by a small number of
intimate friends and relatives. Mr.
and Mrs. Horton are making their
home for while with Mr.. and Mrs. A.
b. Henry.
On Tuesday afternoon, at 4:30, at
the home of the BRIDES parents, Miss
Sam Adair. They left after the cere-
mony for Hamlet, N. c., where they
will make their home.
On Thursday evening, at the home of
Mr.. T. D. Leake, his daughter, Miss
Bette, was married to Mr.. Burleigh
Adair.
Mr.. Robert Farr, formerly of Clin-
ton, now of Monroe, was married to
Miss Helen Corinne Wolfe, in Monroe,
on Christmas Eve, and he and his bride
spent several days in Clinton with Mrs.

B. Farr.
The announcement of the marriage
of Mr. John A. Copeland, formerly of
Clinton but now of Nashville, Arkan-
sas, to Miss Lee Burgess, of Nashville,
on Christmas day, was received in
Clinton with great interest.
A sad incident of Christmas Eve was
the fatal burning of the little child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Daugherty. The
child was left alone near the fire but
few minutes by his mother. When she
returned he was in flames, and efforts
to extingush them were not soon
enough to prevent the child's having in
hailed them.
On Friday the Car Cafe, the prop
erty of Mr.. j. d. High, was destroyed
by fire.
Mrs. Rosa Graveley Clarke died at
the Thornwell Orphanage Infirmary on
Thursday night, January 2, about mid
night, and was buried in the Presby-
terian cemetery here. A simple and
touching funeral service was conducted
in the Carolina Memorial Chapel at
half past o'clock by DR.. Jacobs.
This service was attended by the entire
Orphanage community and friends from
the town of Clinton. She leaves two
children, Mr.. Jack II. Clarke, who will
graduate from Union Theological Semi
nary, in Richmond, in the spring, and
Miss Tulia Clarke, who graduated last
June from the Thornwell College, and
now holds a position as teacher of the
third grade in the Children's Gift
Academy. Both have been with her
the past two weeks.
