Fairfax Fancies.

Fairfax, Jan. Our town still
retains quite a Christmas air, owing
partly to the fact many of our re-
turned boys and girls from the diff
ferent colleges are still with us.
On Christmas day, about $3.50 p.
M, Miss Minnie Jenkins and Mr..
Otis Lynes drove up to the Baptist
parsonage, followed by about six
couples, and were quietly married by
Rev. J. D. Timmons. The young
folks showered them with rice, then
saw them on board the train for
Charleston. They have returned
from their outing and are "at home"
at the new residence of Mr.. G. w.
Barber. This young couple have
spent most of their lives in Fairfax,
and we wish for them eternal hap
piness. ~
Many parties have been given here
recently for the college girls and
other visitors.
Mrs. H. NJ. Harveley was "at
home" on Monday evening to many
guests in honor of the Misses Pol
lard, of Ga. She was assisted in re-
ceiving and entertaining by Mrs.
Fannie Loadholt. After various
games, etc., they partook Of bounti-
full and delicious repast. The decora-
tions were lovely.
On Tuesday evening Mrs. NJ. P.
C. Youmans entertained from Fair
fax, Allendale and other places
about fifty guests, in honor Of the
home coming Of her daughter, Miss
Lucille, of Converse College, and Mr..
Corrin Youmans, of Clemson. She
was assisted in entertaining by Miss
Margaret and Mrs. l.. w. Youmans,
Jr. The decorations all assumed a
Christmas aspect, even in the spa
cious dining room. The. hours flew
by while. the young folks seemed to
enejoy every moment of the evening.
The table groaned under it's weight
of delicacies and luxuries and was
made to glisten with cut glass and
silver. A trip to Duck Branch is al
ways enjoyed by our young folks.
The largest affair of the Christmas
tide was given at the new Baptist
parsonage. Rev. and Mrs. ]. D. Tim
mons were " at home" on Friday
evening to large crowd. One hun
dred and fifty invitations had been
sent out, and about one hundred
guests were present. The married
folks were entertained in one room
and the younger set in another. Lit
tie Sadie Harter, Willie Timmons,
Ruth and Lylete Wilson looked
quaint in their Japanese kimonas
but the little ladies aided vastly in
making all feel at home and in dis
pensing sweet music. The decora-
tions were very lovely, and all were
we'll pleased to see the pastors fam
| lily so snugly ensconced in their new
abode. Folks voted Mrs. Timmons
a wonderful woman, to do justice to
| such a varied crowd and make all so
pleasant for them. The supper was
all that one could desire, and all join
in wishing the family prosperous
and happy new year.
The Christmas tree for the United
Sunday-schools was a great success.
| The recitations were we'll delivered,
songs beautifully rendered, and when
all the children ranged on the stage
like a tableau and sang MERRY,
Merry Christmas" ringing the bells
at the chorus, the applause was
great.
