Rev. J. A. Sigh, D. D., of Columbia,
who was our pastor for so long here
has been very i'll again, but doing very
well at tnis writing. We are request
ed by Pastor Riser to state tIbat some
friends will remember DR.. Sigh by
bringing or sending some groceries or
money to St. Pauls parsonage on
Monday after the first Sunday in De-
eember. Anyone who would like to
send a package to DR.. Sigh viii!
please wrap it well and bring or send
it to the church on the first Sunday
in December or bring or send it to
the parsonage the next day with the
name Of donor on the package. The
things will be packed and stripped BY
Pastor Riser on Tuesday after the
first Sunday in December. This is a
good and much needed work and should
be successful. Anything that can be
used by family will bs of service
and will be greatly received by our
aged pastor.
The wedding bells have begun ring
ing again, hard times do not put an
embargo on cupid's arrows. That ar
cher will make matches, and cause
two hearts to beat as one, whenever
he can. This time the wedding bells
rang long and loud at Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe 4. Counts, announcing the mar
riage Of their only daughter, Miss
Louise, to Mr.. G. Lester Bowers. The
groom is from Newberry but was
born and reared near here. Ttds nap
py couple will set up house keeping
near his old home, where they will
try their hands at farming. The writer
was not present at the wedding but
from what he can learn by those who
were present the wedding was I'M
mense, tzere were about 110 guests, all
of whom were present at the recep-
ton. The reception was a great old
time dinner wit. a very long table
in the yard. Those who were there
report ire time and came away
wishing much happiness for the young
couple. The ceremony took place at
200 p. m. November 25th, and immed-
lately after the congratulations tae
dinner was served. The brides pas
tor, Rev Y. Won A Riser, spoke the
solemn and beautiful words which our
State binds till deatb, as they should.
1t has been reported to me that in
all that rain last Sunday Mr.. Thomas
Mccullough, of Little Mountain, and
Miss Mime Singley, of jolly Street
section, drove to the parsonage where
Rev. Riser spoke the words Wtiich
made them man and wife. We wish
the happy couple much success in
their future life
!
but don't ask who or where, your
scribe las been hoping not merely to
be asked to a wedding but to attend
one of his own one of these days or
nights but it seems that the year of
1914 will soon be past and his efforts
will have been in vain, so don't ask
VITO or where for he is not well post
ed as to that himself, maybe
The Young Peoples meeting will
be held in the church Sunday night
beginning at 7:3O. An interesting
programme is promised, the public
IS cordially invited to attend ttis SER
wee.
