day was such bad, ugly day fol
many reasons. First, on account Of
that being the wedding day of Mis-;
Berta Hudson and Mr.. Tom Math'
is. Then when we beard in the af
ternoon, that Miss Irene Scott and
Mr.. l.. S. Reese had gone to North
Augusta to be married we were
more sorry for the two brides oi
that ugly day. We said in our last
we heard of wedding bells over in
the fork or at Morgana. We also
heard of another of the. fork girls
having married the week before in
Columbia, Miss Marie Taylor, but
did not learn the gentleman's name.
We can't blame the girls for marry
ing and leaving that malarial dis
Strict. They have suffered so much
over there as wei, as over this way.
We hear that Mr.. Will Briggs is
going to move his family to North
Augusta as they have 80 many chills
up here. Mrs. Luther Reese and
Miss Georgia Reese have both been
very ill with chills for the past two
weeks. They were a little more
comfortable when we heard from
them last so we hope they are i'm
proving and will soon be up again.
Did you ever hear of so many chills
here in cold winter time? Why we
always used to think the chills
would stop when cold weather
came it would kill out the malaria,
but not so, the air seems TO be so
permeated with this malaria from
the water being over the lands that
nothing keeps the chills off now.
We were truly sorry to hear Of
Mrs. Eulala McCarty's illness, and
hope she is on the road to recovery,
ere this.
Mr.. and Mrs. James McClain are
moving out to their country place
out near Mr.. H. f. Cooper on the
five notch road. We welcome them
and wish them much success and no
malaria and chills.
Mrs. Julia Townes and Miss Mary
Townes have returned home from
a weekend visit to Augusta and
North Augusta. The day being SO
inclement on Thursday there was a
small attendance at the missionary
meeting which met at Mrs. Bunch's.
But those who braved the wind and
weather enjoyed the meeting and
were none the worst off for the out
ing we hope. Mrs. t. J. Briggs,
Mrs. John Roper, Mrs. Julia
Townea, Mrs. Harry Bunch and
children, Mrs. Luta Baynon, Mrs.
Sallie Bunch and Miss Lila Bunch
were present. Had the day been
pretty we hoped to- hive had many
others. The next meeting will be
held at Mrs. Julia Townes, Thurs
day, March 80. We hope the day
will be good, also attendance good.
The farmers have been cleaning
off and breaking land while the
weather looked and felt so much
like the spring had come, but as
winter came back and the cold
chilling blasts of freezing weather,
the wood saw is heard again buz-
zing, cutting more winter time fire
wood. The gasoline engine and
wood saw is great convenience
and saving also of wood. The little
Johnnie Boy," engine can churn
and pump water also which saves
the housewife and daughter as we'll
as men, many hard tasks. l wish
every home in the country were
equipped with all these convenien-
ces, life would be more worth
living. We fear the fruit will be
killed. There are 80 many trees in
bloom, especially the pears and
plums, also a good many peach
trees. Easter comes late this season,
so we may expect good deal more
cold weather yet.
