Sease-Derrick.


attend a country weddiug-and We
mean by that to convey the exquisite
pleasure which it gave US to get to
the country and to enjoy real and gen.
uine old time hospitality. The day
was beautiful and the air which came
with the touch of the cold wave was
crisp and balmy and gave the glow
to the cheek 1t was the marriage OF
the Youngest daughter of our friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Sease, Miss Eliza
beth Sease, to Mr.. Olin C. Derrick,
and the day was Wednesday OF the
present week in the afternoon.
Sheriff Cannon Blease, who was 60
ing down, very kindly offered to take
us with him in his new Dodge. IN
spite of the fact that we had promlsea
never again to ride with him, because
we are never in such a hurry TO ger
anywhere, but on his statement that
he wanted to start early so that we
might travel leisurely and enjoy the
ride, We accepted his kind offer. Mrs.
F. H. Kibler and E. H, Jr., and MI
H. H Evans were also Of the party.
We left Newberry promptly at one
O'Clock and he drove beautifully go
ing, Of course at about 20 miles the
hour, but he seemed to be very care
full. Coming back he seemed anxious
to get to Newberry on very important
business. We left Mr.. Sease's nome
at 20 minutes to o'clock, spent some
20 minutes or more trying to help
fellow autoist get his machine run
ming. though none Of US knew any
thing about it, and came to Newberry
at 20 minutes past o'clock. The dis
tance is IS miles. You may figure the
rate of speed we were making in COW
ering the distance if you care to have
some exercise in arithmetic, but we
came in safely-fortunately the gooo
Lord takes care of children and-Weil
Cannon is a good driver. 1t runs IN
the family, they could all of them
handle horses as well as any one yoil
ever saw pull a rein. We mean the
Blease boys, and Cannon drives WE'LL
but he always seems to be In niue
more of a hurry than we are. The
roads are good. Of course, a lttle
rough and bumDy. We went Via LII
tie Mountain and that is a good road
around the mountain to the nome Oh
