lege that Miss Emma Ready has of,
fered herself to go as foreign mis-
sionary from the Methodist church
This is matter of great rejoicing
among our people for two of the
home girls have as their chief object
in their lives the fitting of themselves
as missionaries, as recently Miss
Aleen Reames offered herself as a
missionary.
A very interesting meeting of the
Y. w. A. was held on Sunday after
noon. After special program bus
mess session was held, and at this
time the young women decided to fill
a box of much needed articles for hos
pital supply work at Chengchow,
C hina. DR.. Sam Pruitt of Anderson,
who left last fall for service will have
charge of the hospital, and he writes
of the, great need of supplies. The
young women will begin at once with
their work, as two Of the members
have completed the surgical dressing
course and were qualified for work
Misses Clara Sawyer and Zena Payne.
The auxiliary decided to invite Mrs.
Heber Ballentine to assist in the max
ing,as she taught number of class
es in the fl eQthel flxz ffixz xzz fiji
es over the state during the world
war,when such supplies were in great
demand.
Sufficient cloth for the making of
the bandages was given by one OF
the young women. 1t is a matter OF
interest to know that DR.. Pruitt's
wife, who was Miss Mary Cullum of
Batesburg is quite an adept in the
making of hospital supplies, so no
doubt her fingers are busy.
On last Thursda afternoon Miss
Virginia Price and Mr.. Frank Wise
of Newberry were married in the
home of the brides mother, Mrs.

The bride was attired in a lovely
travelling suit and the bridal scene
was pretty picture as the bridal par
ty entered and stood under the bower
of flowers.
After congratulations a delicious
repast was served, and later the hap
py pair left for their home in New
berry, followed by the good wishes of
all. 1t is regretted that this marriage
will remove the bride from a midst
of warm friends, for she had many
friends who admire her for her Iowa
BILE traits.
