On "Wednesday night MI. anu
Mrs. F. A. Sale gave a delightful
little party for the young people. On
account of the rain not large
crowd was able to attend. Delight
full refreshments were served on
cake and ice cream.
One of the most enjoyable affairs
that has been here for some time
was the "tacky" party at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. II. w. Sharpton on
Thursday night. All came from
about 8 to 9 o'clock dressed in the
most tacky garb that has ever been
unearthed in Edgefeld county for
the past century. Games such as
"Bingo," Cross questions and crook.
ed answers" Going to Jerusalem"
and others were played out in the
hall and spacious front piazza,
while in the parlor Misses Ethel
Hughes and Emma Minis entertain
ed on the piano with some favorlte
select: ms. Refreshments of pickle
and crackers, cake and different
kinds of ice drinks were served in
the parlor in the most becoming
stvle. After this came the decision
of the Judges and we can say right
here they had a hard time deciding
but after dul5 considering the
points of each ones dress they de-
eided in favor of Miss Annie Laurie
{ Walker and Mr.. John J. Muldrow.
A bottle of Hoyt's cologne was
awarded to the former and box OF
sardines to the latter.
A number of people from here
attended divine services at Red Oak
Grove Sunday. 1t was the begin
ming of one of those good old pro-
tracted meetings they have over
there.
All the peaches are entirely gone
now, a few August culloms were
shipped the first part of the week
from which very fine price was
realized.
Crops are in very good condition
but still suffering for the want of
rain. Why will not the landowners
stop cleaning up their lands, so we
can at least get some rain in the
proper seasons. The fear is now
that all this rain which is being
held back will come when cotton is
open and it is time for general har-
vesting.
