expected as this had been evident
for several days. For about three
years his health has been failing,
and for the past few months was
confined almost to his room. About
years ago he was married to Miss
Lessie Gibbs Of Lexington. Mr..
Moyer was scarcely more 80 years
of age and it is sad to contemplate
that the life of one in the fullness
of manhood should be cut down.
He was a member of the Lutheran
church. Besides bis wife is left his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Moy-
er and several brothers and sister.
The burial took place on Friday
morning a; Mt. Calvary Lutheran
church, few miles from here being
conducted by his pastor, Rev. NJ.
L. Kester.
1t was quite a surprise to many
when it was learned on Wednesday
that Miss Bertha Woodward and
Mr.. Whitaker had been married.
The happy event took place in the
home OF the bride and was witness
ed by only few friends, the Rev.
Tnacker performing the cermony.
After congratulations they left in
car for Batesburg to board the
north bound train, being accompa
MED bv Miss Alma Woodward and
Pauline Lewis. The bride is one of
the towns most pleasant and at
tractive young women, and sincere
good wishes are extended to the
happy pair. Mr.. Whitaker is local
telephone manager, having been To-
Gated here for several months.
A communication has been re-
ceived from Hon. Lever by the
Mary Ann Ruie chapter, D. of c.,
stating that he would be pleased to
deliver the memorial address before
the chapter on May 10.
,sssss4s con party given By
Mrs. M. r.. Wright for the two
April brides, Misses Josephine Mob
lev and Helen Thacker, was so beau
tiful that the gnests were charmed
and it was only the lengthening
shadows. that caused the happy
guests to depart. This day being ST.
Patrick's day, the hostess carried
ont in lovely detail the ideas that
characterize the day and under the
soft green lights with shamrocks
everywhere, and the Blarney
stone," which each kissed to try
their future, the guests felt them
selves transported to Erin" as
soon as they stepped within the por-
tails of the home. The hostess was
assisted by her sisters, Misses Lucille
and Sara Norris, and after cordial
greetings, four irresistible Irish
maidens in green, Misses Marion
Mobley, Virgie Courtney, Maud
Sawyer and Johnnie Thacker, serv-
ed coffee and shamrock shaped
cheese straws. The coffee table was
lighted by circle of Irish potatoes
with burning green taper in each
one. The brides-elect were both at
tired in pretty costumes of green.
Progressive rook was enjoyed and
the score cards were decorated with
the shamrock. Mrs. ]. w. Brown
made the highest score and re-
oeived pot plant. The honor prizes
were dainty pieces of hand EN-
broidery. Block cream in which the
shamrock was moulded was served
with pound cake, also shamrock
minis.
Miss Bertha Stain of Chester is

Monday afternoon. The reports Of

gagged. Marking the graves of

discussion, and inquiry was to be
made to ascertain if there were
any without the slabs or markers.

School building and as a result
from the recent play held for this
purpose good sum was realized.
