"SIN DAYS SHALT THOU"

If there is one Biblical injunction
that The Courier force observes more
faithfully than another it is that
which cnjoins six days Of labor.
From Monday morning until Satur-
day evening we are engaged in get
ting out The Courier. whose eight
pages are printed entirely at home.
And yet there are those Of our
friends who seem to think that the
office Is closed all week until We'd
nesday morning; that then we speak
word or two, and that the eight
pages Of matter obligingly fall into
position, hop up on the press, and
go to it" in the matter Of printing,
mailing, etc, right through the
whole printing process.
The fact OF the matter is that each
week we have, on Tuesday afternoon
and Wednesday morning, enough
"copy' furnished us to fill several
pages OF The Courier--matter that
might just as we'll have been fur
nished to us week earlier. An in
stance OF thi, kind that occurred
just a short tir since will serve to
illustrate just what we are driving
at: Late on Tuesday evening
young lady asked us If she could get
n short article in The Courier if she
would bring 1t to the office Wedncs-
day morning. She was told that she
could not, "but." we added, "send 1t
around and it will be III good time
for the week following" And it
"came around'-Tuesday afternoon
week later--just barely in time to
be gotten in shape for printing. 1t
would have been no more trouble to
the young lady to have written the
article six days before she finally
wrote it. and it would have been
much less inconyenient to us.
The point we wish to make Is this:
Don't waste our time and yours ask
ing us how late can get this in the
paper?" Go ahead and write, at the
first opportunity, what you have to
say, and then get it to us at once.
That will materially help us. and at
the same time insure the matter ap-
pearing in the paper earlier than If
1t IS kept over to the last moment.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1917.
FOR THE ORPHANS.

Announcement has been made to
the effect that the Thornwell Orphan
age at Clinton, the Connie Maxwell
Orphanagc at Green wood and the
Epworth Orphanage at Columbia will
ask all the friends in their various
constituencies tO.Observe Sunday, Oc-
tober l3, as a Work DAY, for orphan
children. The plan is simple and
has been tried for several years with
great success. The idea is that on
this special day every friend OF each
institution will devote the income OF
the day or the proceeds OF larbor
done that day as contribution to
the orphan boys and girls. We are
sure the scheme will appeal to many
OF our people this year as it has done
in the past.

PICKETT T-DeI>RUHL WEDDING.
The Ceremony Came as Surprise to
Gathering ut Family Reunion.

On Tuesday, August 14th, in the
historical church Of Bethel, Oconee
county, there was solemnized the
marriage Of Miss Tallulah May
Pickett and Edward Calhoun De-
Bruhl, both OF Greenville, S. C. 1t
was on the occasion Of family re-
union OF the descendants of the late
Samuel r.. McFall, and perhaps 60
members Of this family were pres
ent, not one knowing OF the surprise
marriage except the members of the
bridal party.
On arriving at Bethel it was sug-
gested by Rev. I. e. Wallace, pastor
Of Richland Presbyterian church,
that every one go into the church for
short service. "Blest be the tie
that binds" was sung, followed by q
prayer and a few appropriate re-
marks on home ties by Rev. Wal
lace
Immediately the strains Of the
wedding march were heard, Mrs. l..
organ, and the bridal party entered
from the front of the church, COM
ing down opposite aisles. The maid
OF honor was Miss Louise DeBruhl,
sister of the groom; bridesmaid,
Miss Hortense Jones. They we're
both becomingly dressed in white
suits, with hats to match. The
groom entered with his best man.
D. A. Henning, Of Greenville, from a
side door. The bride entered lean
Ing on the arm Of her uncle, Harry
McFall Pickett, who gave her away
In the unavoidable absence of her
father. The bride was never lovelier
than at this time, gowned in an ele-
CANT suit Of blue, with hat and
gloves to match, and carrying an
arm bouquet of white roses and or
chids. The impressive ring ceremony
was used by the officiating minister,
Rev. |. E. Wallace, of Seneca.
Sweet indeed was the scene Of the
marriage, with such a unique and
romantic setting, In the quaint old
church Of the brides ancestors, nes-
tied in the foothills Of the Blue
Ridge mountains, and with only
those present who were dearest to
the heart Of the young couple.
After the young couple were show
ercd with good wishes, every one
present went on to Oconee Station,
as was previously arranged, (the old
homestead of the great-grandparents
Of the bride.) Here an elegant pic
mic dinner was served, with the
brides bouquet and the lovely we'd
ding cake forming the centerpiece.
Much merriment was had in the cut
ting Of the cake and on learning the
fate Of those who cut the emblems.
