MIR. AND MRS. FENTON'S
 TENTH ANNIVERSARY

In honor of the tenth anniversary of their marriage, relatives and friends numb bering about thirty gathered at the home of MT. and Mrs. Lewis c. F'enton, 527 Central avenue, Saturday evening to celebrate the occasion. That the guests enjoyed themselves goes without saying, as both MT. and Mrs. F'entor are well known entertainers, Mrs. F'enton being a, very clever plan iste besides possessing a 'contralto voice Of unusual sweetness. MT. Fenton is the tenor solofst of Olivet Congrega- tionaI church, which position he has held for some time and he is also member of the Criterion male quar- tette known all over the state for the rich harmony of their voices. Several of the guests also contributed largely to the musical part of the evenings program, among whom were Miss May Lord, contra1to soloist of Milford Con gregationa1 church, whose rich, mel low tones thrilled the hearts of her hearers; Chester Harrison, organists of Olivet church, played several se1ec- tion6-and his work, always of a high order-was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Regi- nald Reed, soprano, was heard in so- los, she being favorably known in the city, where she has frequently sung at concerts. Mrs. Joseph Hancourt, an accomplished piantiste and formerly a teacher of music, another whose playing added greatly to the evenings enjoyment and whose son, Joseph, Jr., aged six, fairly took the guests by storm by his. clever singing. of popular songs. sHe4wone the lifelong friendship of every one present. Last on the pro- gram, but not by. any, means least, were the two talented children of MT. and Mrs. Fenton, Mildred, aged eight years whose rendition of Nevin's Mighty Lak' a Rose" was really a very fine piece of work for a child of such tender years; and Russell, aged three, made the biggest kind of a hit when he sang, accompanied on the. piano by Mrs. Fenton. Somebody's Coming to My House. It was an eve ming long to be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be pres ent.
 Two large tables were utilized to ac- commodate the guests at supper, upon which everything in the line of good "eats'' was spread.
 MT. and Mrs. F'enton were the recipi- ents of numerous gifts, including ta- ble linen, cut flowers, ferns, etc. - Besides the guests mentioned above, the following were present: MT. and Mrs. Charles Atkinson, MT. and Mrs. George Alderson, MT. and Mrs. John Holmes, Reginald Reed, Mr.. and Mrs. David Stanhope,4 MT. and Mrs. Fred Tordorf, Miss Beatrice Fenton, Miss Emma Luippo1d, Mrs. Edward Morris, Mrs. Kost, Mrs. Arthur Chambers, A11.

REV. DR. SWANS VIEWS
 ON THE DEATH PENALTY

The Rev. Dr. Swain, pastor of the Second Congregational church, when questioned concerning his opinion of the hanging of Mrs Wakefield, said that he was not familiar enough with the circumstances of the case to have reached any, decision on it.
 Apart from that, on the ques ton of capital punishment continued Dr. Swain, T have been for. sometime un- decided.
 T have always thought said he. that I should hate to be the one to pronounce the death penaIty-to say to anyone that they must die and yet know that those things which are for the highest good of society must rule. I thoroughly believe that so- ciety needs protection from such vici- ousneSS.
 My personal sympathies run along the line of a larger ministry to the criminal class-not Ieniency but min istry.
 "It seems to me, that we are today in transitional stage between the old eye for eye, and tooth for tooth idea, and a new order of sympath and hopes-something larger and bet ter.
 "The day will come when we shall see the relationship and help the crim- inal class.
 When this vision arrives we will find it better to make sons Of God of men than to kill them.
 This sun is already rising. ''~--7'-

Announcement.

We are glad to announce to our
readers-especially those of Lake
City and vicinity-that we have Sc
cured the services of Miss Leah B
Nachman as correspondent to The
Record from that wide-awake COM
munity. Miss Nachman has recently
returned from an extended tour of
Europe as the guest of the Charles
ton News & Courier. Owing to the
fact that Mr. P H Arrowsmith, our
former correspondent, has been too
busy with his own affairs to con-
tinue to act in that capacity, we
have missed our Lake City news let
ter of late, but we feel sure that
Miss Nachman will make up for lost
time both in the quality and quanti-
ty of her letters. Any assistance or
cooperation given her in her efforts
at news-gathering will be appreci-
ated by Miss Nachman and The Rec
ord as well. Also any business mat
ters concerning the paper in the
way of subscription job work or ad-
vertising entrusted to her care will
receive careful attention. 9-4-3t
