DEVON

At the meeting of Devon Young Mems Social club which will be held tomorrow night at the rooms of the Improvement Association, Robert Proctor will be present and give his ideas on the formation of an athletic club in Devon. MT. ProctorS well known ability as an instructor in ath- letics assures the success of the club.
 The Board of Finance will hold an executive session tonight and they are expected to hand down decisions the two matters in which the peo- pie of Devon are so much interest ed.
 It is understood that the Republi- can members of the board are oppos- ed to granting the petition of the committees of the allied communities that the town be bonded for $20O,000 to put the roads in good condition. However, 1t is not believed that they will go against the wishes of the voters who signed the petitions and will try the old dodge of stalling or putting off the matter until after the election in the fall.
 Mrs. Frances De Paul Burns who, with her daughter Gertrude, have spent several summers at Walnut Beach, was granted a divorce from Harry Burns last week in Newark. MT. Burns is a vaudeville actor who has appeared on the Polt circuit.
 The Welcome Home celebration which 1t is planned to give to the re-
 turned service men has been post
 poned to August IS, as July 4, the date that had been tentatively decided on, has been abandoned because other
 matters which the committee thought
 of more importance, will take place during the first week of July. This will be Chautauqua week and the com-
 mittee thought that it was not well to have the two matters compete. The Welcome Home committee will meet with the Selectmen, Thursday night, and complete arrangements for the celebration.

BOYS BURIED UNDER DIRT.
Thurston Milestone Meets Tragic
Death-Friend Narrowly Escapes.

Death-Friend Narrowly Escapes.
The following is from the Orange
burg Times and Democrat:
A very sad and unusual accident
occurred in Bamberg county just
across the county line Wednesday
afternoon when Thurston Milestone,
the 11-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. G. Milestone, met death and Von-
ciel Hightower only narrowly averted
a similar fate.
The two boys were digging cave
in deep ditch, both working on the
same side, and were seen just about
20 minutes before they were found,
upon search. They were both near
ly yseovered with the dirt which col
1aysed, and only their feet were
sticking out. The milestone boy was
dead, but the Hightower boy was res
cued in time to save his life.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of Thurston Milestone were
held Thursday afternoon at Two Mile
Swamp. He leaves his parents,
brother and two sisters, who have the
sympathy of the entire community.

Beautiful Home Wedding at "The
Pines," Denmark, Last Week.

Denmark, April 1S.-The marriage
of Miss Ruth Guess to Mr.. Reynold
Connor Virgins took place on Thurs
day, April IS, at The Pines" the
home of the bride, and was witnessed
by the immediate families and a few
close friends
An artistic color scheme of pink
and green prevailed in the drawing
room. The ceremony was performed
before an improvised altar of trailing
vines and ferns against white back
ground, lighted with the mellow
glow Of pink candles.
Preceding the ceremony a musi-
cal programme was given by Miss
Annie Lee Crum, of Orangeburg.
At o'clock the strains of Lohen-
grin's wedding march announced the
appearance of the bridal party. First
came the maid of honor, Miss Fran
SSo NoOoo, SouASSoI S1SlCl VI IlC
bride, wearing an exquisite dress of
pale blue georgette draped over pink
charmeuse, and carrying an armful
of pink Killarney roses.
Next came the dame of honor, Mrs.
Hubert Willard Matthews, sister of
the bride, attired in her wedding
gown of rose point lace over ivory
duchess satin, carrying white Killar-
ney roses.
Then followed the bride on the
arm of her father. At the same time
the groom, with his brother, James
Arthur Virgins, Jr., entered from an
opposite door, meeting the bride at
the altar. The ring ceremony was
used, during which ''To Wild Rose"
was softly played by Miss Crum.
The bride was very winsome in her
wedding gown of princess satin with
silk net over draperies held in place
by pearl ornaments. Her filmy court
train Of silk net and satin fell in
soft lines from the shoulders. She
carried a shower bouquet of brides
roses and swansonia.
After the ceremony was performed
and congratulations offered, the
guests repaired to the dining room,
where the cutting of the brides cake
afforded much merriment.
When the bride had changed her
costume for lovely travelling suit
of blue, with hat and gloves to
match, the young couple left for their
wedding trip.
The bride is one of Denmark's
most popular young ladies and has
a wide circle of friends, who regret
to see her leave the community. The
groom, formerly of Denmark, now
holds responsible position with the
Edisto National Bank, of Orange
burg. He is the son of Mr. J. Arthur
Virgins, of Denmark.
The out-of-toWn guests were: Miss
Cornelia Meyer, of Newberry; Miss
Fuica Cockrell, of Jacksonville,
Fla; Miss Annie Lee Cruh, Mr.
George Whitsell, Mr.. J. C. Abergotti,
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. Milton Crum, of
Orangeburg, and Mrs. H. W. Mat

The Victory Loan committee has at
it's disposal several of the German
helmets which were made by the Ger
mans for their triumphal entry into
Paris, but which were captured by
General Pershing's army, and have
made triumphal journey across the
Atlantic to help boost the Victory
Loan. These helmets will be distrib-
uted to individuals or organizations
showing special faithfulness in this
campaign, and the probable plan will
be to award helmet to each bank
which secures its quota.
Let us put Bamberg county over

CAMPAIGN FOR
VICTORY LOAN
QUOTA ALLOTTED COUNTY is
$2S3,OOO.
Governments Last Call
Chairman Guilds Calls on Bamberg
County to Respond as Literally
as in the Past.

To the People of Bamberg County:
The VICTORY Liberty Loan-the
name is significant. What would the
Germans give if they were boosting 4
Victory Loan at this hour instead of
signing their death warrant! How
grateful we should be that we have
the privilege of investing in a Victory
Loan instead of paying German in
demnity! Now, our government has
contracted many necessary debts, and
is still under enormous expense.
These obligations must be met, and
the only two possible methods are:
! first, to raise the money by taxation,
or second, by borrowing it from our
citizens. Now, I think we will all
agree that taxes are high enough al
ready and that the bond is the much
better proposition. Our taxes are
sure to be raised still higher than
they are if the government cannot
secure the money on the loan propo-
sition.
This is the last call of this kind
that the government will make, and it
is by far the most attractive that it
has ever made. These bonds mature
in four years and pay 4 S-4 per cent.
interest.
We are proud of the record that we
have made in Bamberg county in the
past campaigns, both for investments
and for contributions; surely we will
not fall down on this one-the last
one and the most attractive one. 1t
is the duty of every man and woman
to invest in these bonds to the limit.
One of the prominent citizens OF
Bamberg said to the county chairman
few days ago, "The boys who went
into the service from our county have
done their part, but we who remained
at home have not, completed ours. y
