EXAMINATIONS OF .B"
Old Mill At Cateechee Has Busy
Christmas

The year 1921 has passed and gone
put the deeds committed in that year
have left their influence either for
good or for bad and sooner or later
we Will have to face them again. If
they have been for good it will mean
stars in our crown and if they have
been bad it means damnation to our
souls.
Christmas passed off in this section
without any accidents or anything to
mar its pleasure. About the biggest
trouble we heard Of was Magistrate
L. L. Leopard of Cateechee captured
the boys pot" near Cateechee on Fri
day before Christmas, poured out sew
eral barrels of beer which would have
been turned into joy juice that night,
as those who saw the beer say it's tenn
perature was just right to start on it's
round Friday night though little
round thing the "stiller" calls worm
and by Saturday morning it would
have been finding it's way down the
throats of it's thirsty lovers, it's effects
would have soon reached a spot not
over charged with brains and from
here it would have taken a circuitous
route to a hip pocket which no doubt
contained 'pop gum" the 2x4 fool
would imagine he had been mistreat-
ed, the little gun would be drawn and
some poor soul would soon find it's
way to another world
Magistrate Leopard, you may have
caused dull Christmas for some, but
in the long run we believe you did
the best deed of your life and when
those who now blame you come to
make peace with their God they will
thank you.
Well, the little matrimonial mill did
pretty good bosiness during Christ
mas considering low price cotton, back
debts, the boil, weevil and other OBJ
stacles.
On Saturday, the Oath, about 2:20
p. m, Mr.. w. M. Entriken and Miss
Ressie Agnes Gillespie were made one
flesh and blood by the old miller. The
groom is the eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Entriken of Norris and

Deck Gillespie and charming bride.

Mr.. w. L. Stephens and Mrs. Ella
Palmer of the Pleasant Hill section
applied at the little mill for permis-
sion to turn two houses in to one and
raise two sets of children together as
it is just about as easy to cook for
eleven children as four or to buy shoes
for eleven as seven, provided some of
the children are large enough to help.
The old miller soon agreed as the
prospective bride and groom had tried
married life before they were old
enough not to make children trades
and if it was their wish to turn two
houses into one it certainly was the
old millers pleasure to help. The
groom is a son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Marion
Stephens of Six Mile and the bride is
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elrod of
the Pleasant Hill section.

| er and the intended bride charming
and captivating young lady who had

agreed they had justified cause to
| make this pleasant and no doubt prof.
table adventure and 80 now it is Mr.
| and Mrs. Kelly at home to their many
friends. The groom is son of Mr..
and Mrs. Willis Kelly and brother
