R2t> * Watch Label on Your Pape and Don't Let Subscriptioi Expire. c v?- ? 3 ESTABLISHED 1894 GAKTKK SXAKK A SUICIDE. Hangover Was More than Little Itepi il(> Could Beat*. One of the most remarkable incidents that has happened at Green lak(. (siuce .'\ugusi, iz, isi i, wnen, n win H?e remembered, the famous man-eating minnow appeared >'i these waters happened thc other day. Little Donald Dwiggins, young son of Claire Dwiggins, the eartootiist, has a little store near his father's camp 011 Canada . lake. He sells lemonade for pins, you f know. Well, in sotne way Donald found a bottle a quarter filled with hootch. He thought it would be nice to place that on sale, too, though he had no idea what it might be. He put it 011 the counter. The sun struck it and the cork popped. Some of the liquid escaped. There was an odor. Soon afterward a little garter snake came bumping up. He or she sniffed the air and then made for the bottle. It then drank that portion of the liquid which had fizzed over, following which it formed a hoop by seizing its head with its tail, no, tail with its teeth, and rolled around the counter three times. It was the little fellow's own peculiar way of shouting "Whoops!" And then if it didn't climb up the bottle and go inside, drinking copir ^ oug draughts of the portion. In a while if emerged from the bottle, did a snake dance to a small sapling and twisted itself around that sapling- Kb expression seemed to say so plainly: "Whoopee! Give me a sock, I'm a garter!" Of course it wasn't a garter at all; it was meerely a garter snake. Then it looked angrily around as if looking for some foe. It's expression now seemed to say:: "Bring me St. Patrick! What I care?" Then the sad part came. The poor thing finally grew very morose and placed its tail on its stomach in a mournful way. It looked at Donald Dwiggins in a way that seemed to plead for a bromo selter. None being forthcoming it wabbled slowly to the dock, below which coursed the cooling water. It crept dismally to the edge and flopped over. Despite the fact that garter snakes can swim like everything it sank immediately and has not been seen since. o , TOBACCO PRICES HOLDING VP WELL. The frown which overspread the farmer's face when the market first opened has turned to a smile. With J f ltQceirtrr r\ f -1 -- 4U " * V.J. cavn u?y nig price or tobacco improves and the better grades are selling at a pood profit. Prices on the Dillon market are holding np well and the average is as high as that of any market in the state. All the big tobacco companies are represented on the Dillon market and they are bidding against each other for the better grades. The rains of the past few days have seriously interferred with the marketing of the crop and it is reported from some sections of the county that tobacco has suffered some damage. The most on the crop, however, has been taken d'rcni the fields and if the rains should vcntinue they cannot do thp crop much more damage. With the imwprovement >n the prices there has rbfeen a slight improvement in business conditions. There was a good crowd in town last Saturday and the merchants were busy all during the day. In less than 30 days new cotton will begin to eome on the market and the fall season will open in full UIclSl. I o Notice to Ex-Service Moil in Dillon County.

They were getting an early ! skirt and many of the pleasure seek-j e?sr will return some time during the ttight while others will remain over for several days." lload development and the autonio- < bile have diverted Pee Dee pleasure seeket's to the seashore resorts for; tiie week end. Before the roads in Marion and Horry were improved it was an all day journey, but now ? person can leave home early in the morning and set to the beach in timej for a late breakfast. Many cars make' the trip from Dillon to Myrtle Beach! or Murrel's Inlet in less than four hours. High railroad rates have also I. helped to turn the mountain travelj' toward the beach and it is likely that beach resorts will grow in popularity with week end pleasure seekers. o |, Cnrmichael Stevens. i 1' Beautiful in its simplicity was the ! wedding of Misg Emma Carmlchael and Raymond Stevens, which was i solemnized in the Presbyterian church I Wednesday evening, July 27th. at 1 8 o'clock. The impressive ring cere-: 1 mony was performed by the Rev. J.ji Sam Garner the bride's pastor and 1 was witnessed by a large assemblage 1 of the friends of the young couplejs and of their families. The church [ l lenfis itself to decoration of the sim-n plest order and with quantities of!' ferns, pinos, candles and yellow it tinnas was a lovely setting l'orj the nuptial scene. 1 Previous to the ceremony a beau-jl itiful musical nroirram was rendered 1 by Miss Lola Edwards of Mullins. As 1 Miss Edwards sounded the first ] st'ains of the wedding march from Lc-hengrin, the ushers, Leroy M. i ! Rogers and Gorce D. Carmichael, en- i I tered and took their place8 on eith-: 1 I r side of the rostrum.

Rogers, cousin of < tb, bride, wearing a beautiful gown < of orchid taffeta with hat to match, carrying an arm bouquer of orchid 1 j gladioli. The maid of honor, Miss (Thelma Rogers, neice or the bride.:! wore n dainty frock of pink inaline over satin, with a large picture hat of silk lace with pink plume. Her < flowers were pink gladioli. The flower girls little Misses Marv Wat- ; sot: Schofield and Janie Pierct. dressed in yellow and green organdy with ; jmoline bows came down tb,. aisle scattering rose petals from their has- i kets. Tlie littl,. ring bearer Katherine , Sue Moore was a veritable fairy in a | fluffy dress of white organdy, and j icarried the ring in -the heart of a < j rose. She preceded the bride, who ] icame in leaning on the arm of her ( brother, Ottie Carmichael, and was , met at the altar by the bride-groom attended by his brother Boyd Stev' ens. "Trammedi" was softly played !during the ceremony. The bridal 1 party left the church in reverse or- ; i der to the strains of Mendelsshons ] 'wedding march. , { The bride was never prettier than , ; on this occasion. She wore a hand! seme suit of blue trieotine with ac- | cessories that beautifully harmoniz- i |ed, and carried a shower bouquet of.| bride's roses. She is the only daugh- . Iter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Carmich' ue! and is a young woman of gra- , cious manner and charming personal- < ity. Her many friends regret that ( rfhe is to live in another community.!, The bridegroom is the youngest j son of Mr. and Mrs. Stcvon S(pvph? . of the Bermuda section of this coun-'] ty and is a young man of sterling! worth. o Services At The Methodist ChutVh. !
