BL?LOCK-BOY?. Beautiful Home Wedding Wil Harrisburg Groom Cfaamed Edgefield Bride. Father of Bride Officiated. A wedding of unusual beauty took place here Thursday afternoon at the horne of Rev. and Mrs. P. P. Blalock, when their second daugh ter, Miss Marion Blalock, became the wife of Dr. William Sims Boyd of Greeleyville. The ceremony was performed by the father of the bride and the invocation was offer ed by her pastor, Rev. E. C. Bailey of the Presbyterian church. The guests were received at the door by Miss Royall Peak, Miss Elizabeth Waring, Miss Margaret -Gourdin and Miss Mary Anderson. The entire lower floor of the home was thrown en suite and tastefully decorated for the occa sion. In the west parlor the color scheme was yellow and white, daffo dils being used in great profusion. In the east parlor, where the cere mony was performed, white and green were used, and in the dining .room, yellow predominated. The bride's table was outlined with yel low daffodils and a huge basket in the centre was filled to overflowing ( with the same flowers, the choicest of the Edgefield gardens at this season. The shade over the electro lier was a yellow shower effect, shedding a soft light about the room. After the guests arrived they were entertained until the appointed time for the ceremony by several musical numbers very sweetly ren dered. Miss Nannie Gunter of Batesbnrg sang *vAt Dawning" and "Because," and Mrs. R. G. Shan nonhouse sang "Veronese Sere nade," Mrs. Mamie Tillman accom panying both on the piano. At the conclusion of the musical program, Mrs. Tillman sounded Mendels sohn's wedding march and the bri dal procession entered tbe parlor in the following order, having formed in the upper hall: Descending the j stairway like two .little fairies, the! the flower girls, Katherine Stewart and Elizabeth Bailey, entered the parlor. Next came the ministers, Rev. P. P. Blalock and Rev. E. C. Bailey, these being followed by the ring bearer, little Ned Nicholson. Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., of Atlanta, the matron of honor, clad in a rich gown of yellow, carrying a bouquet of daffodils, next eutered. Then the groom was accompanied by his best man, P. G. Gourdin, of Kingstree. The bride and ber maid of honor, Miss-Ed-wardina Blalock, her sister, were the last to enter. At the conclusion cf this beauti ful weddiug scene, made the more beautiful by the father of the bride uttering the words that made them man and wife, Dr. and Mrs. Boyd were showered with congratulations and good wishes, not only fromi Edgefield friends ,but from friends' from different parts of the state. During the social half hour that followed the guests registered their j names in the bride's book and view- ? ed the large assortment of rich to kens that had been bestowel by j relatives and friends. The bride's j book was in charge of Mrs. S. A. Morrall, Jr., and Miss Virginia Ad dison. A buffet luncheon was serv ed by old family servants, followed by ice cream and cake. The color scheme, yellow and white, was re flected in the cream. Following a custom of long standing, the bride's cake was cue and the peals of laughter meant that the future of some present had been revealed by the article which fell to their lot. The slice handed to Miss Ruth Strom contained the ring, the coin fell to the lot of Mi>s Elizabeth Waring and the thimble to Miss Ruth Timmerman. Soon after leaving the dining room where the bridal party were served, the bride ascended the stair way in the hall and tossed her bou quet among the eager friends who were standing below and Miss Ma rie Andersou became its happy pos sessor. The gifts were very numerous and beautiful in design. The one bestowed bv the groom's brother, Dr. I. N. Boyd, a set of Haviland china, was especially admired. Just before the guests departed each one was presented by Miss Marie Holston and Miss Willie Peak with a dainty little wedding ring suspended from a bow of white ribbon as a souvenir of the joyous occasion. Clad in a rich gown of white sat in, with train, the bride never ap peared more beautiful than she did on this occasion. The grace of her slender form was heightened by the conventional veil. Later in the even ing she donned a handsome travel ing suit, ready for the departure upon their wedding journey of sev eral weeks in New York and other northern cities. Among the out-of-town guests were Dr. I.N. Boyd of Greeleyville, P. G. Gourdin and Miss Martha Gourdin of Kingstree and R. T. MUS?? RED OAK GROVE. in Reminiscent Vain, Refering to Friendship of the Past. Farm Work Advancing. I believe nearly every home in our section is visited by the Edge field Advertiser. Bein?: something like receiving letters from friends over the county makes for it a special welcome. Special features are brought out by your correspon dents both in onr church work and socially as w? ll, that help us to improve in many instances. A s we have no Sunday school at Red Oak Grove on third Sunday, it is usually ''spend the day" Sun day. It was quiet on our street yester day only at mid-day. At Mr. Luther Timmerman's was Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Timmerman, Mr. and Mrs. Mall ie Clegg, Mr. and Mrs. Will Burton, Mrs. Mamie Bussey and daughtdr, also the Misses Dows. At Mrs. Shelton's, Mr. and Mrs. Tillman Howl of Modoc, at Mr. G. W. Bussey?s, Mr. and Mrs.. I). C. Bussy and family. Being the 80th birth-day of Mrs. J. N. Grif fis, her guests were Mr. and Mrs, T. W. Lamb, also two of her grand children, Mr. J. T. MoManus and Mrs. Will Fuller, from Edgefield. Mr. and MV?JL f, Griffis visited relatives at Parksville Saturday. We regret to learn that onr honor ed friend, Mr. J. C. Morgan, ?B in bad health, also of the bad health of his brother, "Uncle Iv," of Har lera, Ga. We wish Uncle Iv would come back home. We need him. So few of our acquaintances of child hood-da^jj, are .left; now. Though our moments of reflection are made pleasant,..when we recall the fact that our life has been made better an,d happier by having known something of such sweet christian spirits as those of Mrs. Alice Ham mond, Mrs. George Walker, Mi. Pat Bussey, Mrs. Martha Dorn, Mrs. Lizzie Timmerman, Mrs. Da vit? Timmerman and Mrs. Josie Horne. They are dead, but their lives were "as a shining light." We have in mind now, our beloved and honored pastor, Rev. G. W. Bussey, his life and what it has stood for in Edgefield county alone, having baptised and married pa rents, children and grand children of man}' of the families. His place would be hard to fill. He knows the people, and they know him, to love him. Work on farms is pushing ahead these spring-like days, but it is pre dicted tt will be retarded by cold bad weather yet. We all think of our fruit, but last year it snowed on the peach-blossoms. That though does not hurt fruit like wind does even after all danger of the cold bas passed. Our ladies, some of them, are busy with their poultry. Mrs. Mamie Bussey and others are trying their same fowls the Ply- \ mouth Rock. We like the white Leghorn and will cross them this year with the Anconas. Will tell more of them on longer acquaint ance. We should, by all means, divide our time with the garden. Much to be lost should the garden bo neglected. Modoc, S. C. Come to Parksville on Prosperity Day February 29. How to Make Whitewash. For interior work; Walls, ceil ings, etc: 1.

Boyd of Johnston , was con-j sidered the best, and she was hon ored by being on the program at the last state convention and gave this: The Aftermath. When the sun of peace, with enliven-1 ing beams, Cast aside the clouds of war, Its welcome light, its pure bright| gleams Threw shadows before it afar. In the North and West, it lit up a scene Ne'er tread by armies invading. But cities triumphant-the fields all , green And prosperity never fading. In the South it lit up a scene so lorn I And rent by the demon of war, Its cities half empty, its people mourn, Just a weed grown wilderness you saw. I The blood stained sword-the flash-1 ing torch Had swept our South land o'er. In the eyes of her people the hot tears j scorch, And a look pf despair they wore. The North had nearly s taked her wealth, j The South had staked her all, 'Gainst greater strength and northern j stealth, Our valorous armies small Hurled themselves with terrific force ! And beat out their lives in vain, Such daring and courage with half the J ..resource The victory was easy to gain. Our soldier accepted his cross of defeat, He'd won the worlds admiration, He turned to his home, Oh, what did \ he meet? More than poverty and desolation. From a cup more bitter he was to ] drink; To crain to the dregs its insults, From the loss of wealth he did not | shrink, But the grand and evil results. The warm affection the old slave felt1 For the family of his old master, [ Their refusal to leave will make the heart melt And the pulse beat a little faster, The slave broke loose from ?his moorings-adrift, Knew not what freedom's meaning, 'Twas the "Carpet Bagger" that caused the rift, Behind the negro screening. Oh, South, so eloquent, ardent and brave, Armed in the cause o? right, The gale that swept thee never gave Nor caused the darkest night. The dread aftermath has passed, Our country so friendly and true, We look to the future-we blend to last , Our Red and White wi^. the Blue. THE BEST PROOF, Given by an Edgefield Citizen.
