His line Of thought was graphically
drawn from the scene Of Christ's
birth at Bethlehem and the revela-
ton Of this great event to the shep-
herds by the Angel of God. His ap-
plication Of this was earnestly made
to us that we should not only re-
ceive the great gifts Of life, but
should give good gifts to those
whom Christ would visit. His talk
was impressive and edifying to the
audience.

Social Side Of Tugaloo.

Tugaloo, Jan. 12.--Special: The
Yuletide just passed was probably
one OF more pleasure and enjoyment
than any for many years past on ac-
count Of the unusual social functions,
such as weddings and entertain
ments, among which was the mar
riage Of Miss Margie Martin and viii
Knox. This was solemnized on the
evening of December 29th, 1909, the
marriage knot being tied by Hon.
Ben Johnson, Notary Public, Of Cen
trail, Pickens county. The groom was
dressed In regulation evening suit.
The bride was lovely in gown of
cream silk and carried bouquet of
brides roses. After the ceremony
the guests were ushered into the din
ing room, where was spread table
indescribable, filled with edibles fit-
ted for the gods. All the guests were
invited to the reception the next day
at the home of the parents Of the
a%oom, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Knox, in the
Tabor section, where all who attend
ed met most hearty welcome and
enjoyed a dinner that none present
will ever forget.
Another social event long to be re-
membered was dance given by d.
NJ. McClanahan and his amiable sis
ters, Misses Pat and Kate, in honor
Of Misses Lille and Rosa Johnson,
the charming daughters Of j. j. John
son, who has recently moved from
Greenvilie to Westminster.
James Martin entertained quite a
large number Of his friends on the
evening of the 7th Of January with a
pound party, with also a real enjoy
able dance.
Indications are there will be more
weddings In the near ftuure or
sooner. l..

The price Of hogs reached 50 a
hundredweight on the Chicago mar
ket last week, the highest price since
the war. with the exception of $9.32
for short period during 1882. 1t Is
pretty generally claimed that the
high price is due to the scarcity of
hogs rather than to speculative in
lluences.
