occupying the old home Of DR.. A. J.

worthy newcomers. to u town.
Christmas day was far removed
from an ideal one; thick, cloudy,
without a moment Of sunshine and 30
far removed from a green one that the
superstitious need not fear that 1t will
be followed by an increased death
rate as used to be the case, so said.
Prof. I. H. Williams Of ,~Spartanburg
who had been at Anderson for a day
or two, came down Monday and was
our very welcome guest for several
days. By his geniality, intelligence
and general makeup he won many
strong friends here, who will be glad
to see him again, whenever 1t suits
his pleasure or convenience to come.
Miss Annie Lou Power came down
from Anderson Monday, where she had
been for several days and stayed with
us for some time. The latch string
on u door is always. on the outside
for her. Z.

Baskin, eldest daughter Of Mr. and
Mrs. Jas. T. Baskin, this place, and
Mr.. C.. c.. Douglass Of Florida, were

nent and MI. Willie Taggart, OF New

These all entered the church In the
proper order and took their positions
| near the suspended cross under which
the bride and groom stood; when all
had taken their places, the officiating
clergyman performed the ceremony
in a short and impressive way. While
three of our homes have each In q
week, lost an inmate, who was woed
and won, who voluntarily and happily
acceeded to the demands of interested
claimants, have formed new ties and
gone to homes of their own, we beg
that the fates may 30 ordain that we
can truly say that our loss may be
ltheir gain and hope fol-. them in their
new and untried spheres, all OF the
choicest blessings that this world can
give.

of bright and cheering sunshine by
Iday, and moon shine by night was real

so much rain, have given to US the
worst roads that we have had for a
long time. Roads almost impossible
In places, which has put autos out OF
commission for the time being at least.
