SANTUC

Santuc, Nov. 1O.-Autumn tinted
hues are the decorations of the forest
now
Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Gilmore, of
Greenville, and Mrs. Clara Railey, of
Mt. Crogan are on visit to their
father, Mr.. A. w. Gilmore.
News reached here from Carlisle
that Judge" B G. Gregory, formerly
of this place, suffered from slight
stroke of paralysis Friday, the 5th,
but is now doing very well.
Rev. w. B. Duncan, Jr., filled his
appointment at the Methodist church
| Sunday. His text was from Matt.
6:24. He will preach here again End
Sunday at 1880 p. m.
Mr.. Ernest Gilmore went to Peters
burg, Va, recently to fill position in
the Dupont Powder Works, but is at
home again. He says it is no place
| for him, as the poor accommodations
| are not in keeping with the quality of
work he was expected to do; that for
| quarters, he was assigned to the bunk
house, and that was badly infested
with vermin. Mr.. Gilmore is grad
uate of Clemson, class of 1914.
Nearly all summer there has been
a union prayer meeting service at
| Salem Baptist church here every Sun
| day night, when there is no preaching
service at any of the churches. These
services are well attended and shows
that there is much interest in them.
| There may not be chance to con-
| tinue these services when cold wealth
er comes, as we all count ourselves
country folk, and distances are to be
met
asked myself the question, "Are
the shower parties we read so much
about, showers of blessings?"
1t seems that small grain sowing is
not progressing as it should. Many
people have their hands too full of
other things. Obligations are to be
met now. Not many men are able to
pay out much to get things done.
They are mostly poor, and are hard
pressed, however much they may de-
sire to do things. 1t is upgrade with
them. But they will, mostly all, come,
if allowed more time.
Last fall l bought a pair of over
alls for $1.00; in the spring | bought
another pair, pride S1.O0. Last week
bought another pair, price $1.00.
All the same. | thought | might find
pair made from some of our last
fall cheap cotton. But not so. When,
do you suppose. No cheap cloth
an awful big profit must have been
made from that crop.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs James P.
Jeter was the scene of festivities
Tuesday (today) afternoon, the occa-
sion being the marriage of their eldest
daughter, Miss Kathleen, to Mr.. o..
T. Culp, of Fort Mill. Rev. "A. McA.
Pittman, the brides pastor, spoke the
words that made them husband and
wife. The bride is a very pretty and
social young lady, and has wide
circle of friends. The groom is a
young merchant of Fort Mill, where
Miss Jeter (now Mrs. Culp) taugn,
for two years, beginning very young.
Immediately after the wedding din
ner Mr.. and Mrs. Culp boarded the
Carolina Special" for a honeymoon
trip through Knoxville, Tenn, Bir-
mingham, Ala, to Huntsville, Ala,

of relatives and friends were present,
and the presents contributed were
many and very, very pretty If
could be precise and concise-with a
gift of describing costumes and deco
rations-I might launch on to the
tssk, but as that is lacking, and time
is limited, will not attempt, hoping,
meantime that some lady guest with
the gift that | am shy on, will give
it to the readers. Suffice it to say
that the parlor, with its twilight eff
fects and decorations not so profuse
as to be hid in Celebrations, was ex-
tremely beautiful. The style of en-
tering the parlor. the bridesmaids,
flower girls, ring bearer, and the mu-
sic kept many on the tiptoe of expec-
fancy, until the groom, with his best
man, and the bride on her fathers
arm, met at the altar, and Rev. Mr..
Pittman, in an impressive ceremony,
joined them as man and wife for life
A most sumptuous dinner was served,
and with all, the guests count this an
