Other Things Reported
From Red Hill

Hsl. -Hr ~ :.
Again your would.be regular, but
really occasional, correspondent
takes time from other duties, or
should I say awakes from a lazy
spell, to proclaim to the readers of
your paper the doings of the citi-
gems of Red Hill. .
Since last we wrote Santa Claus
has come and gone, having made
MANY hearts, both young and!old,
happy with gifts of many kinds.
The year 1909 having performed its
duties well and put the;majority of
our people in. better circumstances
is snow a time of history and only
occasionally spoken of and some,
times brought to memory by the
slip of the pen as we write 'o9 in
stead of 10.
Of course all. the gifts brought
by old Sanity the most valuable
or one of inestimable value was
brought to Mr.. and Mrs. M. L.
Quarles, awhile before Christmas.
He's boy. Mr.. H. A. and T. NJ.
Quarles can't Grow" over their
older brother now, Little Col" has
a grand son, too.
With Christmas and the new
year have come changes of various
kinds such as; names, homes, lands
and occupations.
In the afternoon of the twenty
sixth of December, Miss Bessie
Holmes was married in our church
to Mr.. Fred Bledsoe from near
Johnston, by her pastor, Rev. Lit
tlejohn. After the marriage a feast
of good things was enjoyed by
many friends and relatives at her
parents home Miss Bessie was one
of our most beloved young ladies
and held a place in the hearts of the
Red Hillians, of all ages, which
will be hard to fill. Mr.. Bledsoe,
though almost a stranger to'most
of us up until a few months ago,
has o for himself many friends
andsgreat respect among those he
has come in contact with, but, we
will fuss with him some for taking
Miss Bessie off so far and not To-
eating in the prosperous town of
Red Hill. They left for his home
the next day but in a few days
came back and have been visiting
friends and relatives in Thu section.
Uncle Oh" delights in speaking of
him as son-iD-law, but really he has
been saying that for several months.
MI. Winston Diar has come back
again to stay. We give him and his
GOOD wife a cordial welcome.
Mr.. John Lewis Quarles from
near Johnston, and his bride Miss
Minnie Eubanks, daughter of, MI.
Chas. Eubanks, of Franklin, have
moved among us to live. Though
the Quarleses are already numerous
we give these new corners q hearty.
welcome.
Cornelius Holmes has resigned
his position at the Penn and Hol-
stein drug store and is back on the
farm again. What, is it fifteen cents
cotton. or. just one grip that has
brought him back to the sticks"
Donald Smith, another one of our
|youngSmen who has been as work.
in .Edgefeld, has returnedtnsthee
country and has charge of q large
portion of Mr.. Mundy's place. From
the looks of the pair of young
mules and new wagon he brought
from Augusta Saturday, he means
business.
We are glad to have Charlie Nc
Daniel nearer to US this year. He
left his place and has taken charge
of Mrs. G~lanton's farm. Charlie is
one of our most industrious young
men and we are expecting great
things of him.
Wallace Quarles has made con-
siderable progress. with his Aew
house and expects to move soon. OF
course it is taken for granted that
we want Wallace here, for it was
not many moons agu that he took
one of the most popular girls from
our town.
AT the last meeting of the w. o.
w. camp the following officers or
their substitutes were installed: Z
E Quarles, Con. CON-, L FL Pres-
colt, Jr., Adv. Lieut.; R NJ John
son, Banker; H E Quarles, Clerk;
j w Bailey, Gentry; w A Dorm,
Waterman; E C Bussey, Escort;
j N Grafton, Physician; w Nc.
Daniel, w T Brown, and DR.. in
Grafton, managers. This first meet
ing of the new year was unusually
interesting. On next Saturday after
noon MI. Charlie Mcdaniel is to
have one of those famous rides on
our mysterious goat" He can ride
various quadrupeds, but. a new ex-
perience is ahead. Poor Charlie!
