JOHXS-FOKEMAX. Lovely Wedding of Miss Eunice Johns and Benjamin F. Foreman. Allendale, Dec. 4.?(The Allendale Baptist church was the scene of a beautiful wedding November 17, when Miss Eunice Johns became the bride f Benjamin Franklin Foreman. The touch of the artist could be aeen in the lovely decoration of the ohurch. Tall white pedestals with l>askets filled with pink and white krysanthemums were placed down - * i x. the aisle and about tne auar witn gates of white near the front. Over the background of white was a deliMte tracery of the graceful bamboo. Back of the altar in the baptistry were seen the fragrant pine with palms and ferns, intermingled with tke soft glow of many white and pink candles. Long before the appointed k#*r the church was filled to overi . lowing, vestibule and outside space occupied. At 5 o'clock the song, "Until," was sweetly sung by Mrs. Harry All. To the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Mrs. William Riley, little Fred Brinkley, dressed in a suit of black velvet with white satin cuffs and collar, came down the aisle and opened the gates for the bridal party. First came the two ushers, W. J. Johns, a brother of the bride, and John Black, Jr. The bridesmaids and groomsmen en* tered as follows: Miss Mary Foreman, of Ellenton, sister of the bride. groom, with Whitmarsh Dunbar, Miss Oarrie Lee Bradley, of Orangeburg, with W. R. Johns, a brother of the bride. The two dames of honor, Mrs. W. I. Johns, mother of the bride, and . Mrs. F. S. Shealey, of Lexington, elder sister of the bride, then proceeded down the aisle and stopped on either side. Next came the maid of honor, Miss Frances Gait, of Canton, Ga., * who ascended the steps leading to the altar and took her position on the left side. , The attendants were beaul tifully dressed in gowns of panne velvet and wore picture.hats, draped in Chantilly lace. - Their bouquets were pink chrysanthemums tied with pink tulle. Preceding the bride came the dainty little flower girl, Martha Johns, ra sister of the bride, dressed in/ blue Georgette, carrying a basket of gilt and strewing pink rose petals in her path. Little Virginia Johns, tiny sister of the bride, the ring girl, enr.-av* in a fluffy dress of pink I i Georgette;* carrying the ring in a big |- pink chrysanthemum. The bride enf tered with her rather, W. I. Johns, attractively gowned in her wedding dress of elctric panne velvet and carrying a shower bouquet of bride roses and valley lilies. She was met at the altar by the bridegroom and his best man, Harry Warren. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. R. Cullum. During the ceremony, "Meditation," from Thais was softly played on the violin1 by Miss Louise Boyd, of | the faculty of Chicora college. The bridal party left the church to the I joyous notes of Mendelssohn's wed* ding march. g A reception at the home cff the bride's parents on North Main street, followed immediately after, the ceremony and was attended by 300 or more guests. The young couple left for points of interst in Florida. Judging fom Appearances. Down in Paris Island a big marine rookie was getting initated into the work of the corps. For hours he had staggered along the road under a pack that weighed most of a million pounds, had squads easted and wested for a few more hours, had racked his brain over the intricacies of guns and had skinned his right shoulder raw through target practice. And * now they had handed him inside work. The gyrene was all in and his answers to questions shot at him by the C. O..were about one hundred minus. Exasperated the officer shouted: "Say, haven't you any 'brains at . all?" The rookie sadly ruminated his days of freedom of the dim but not <9 distant past. "You're right, sir," he admitted ruefully. "Don't look that way does it?" A Mean Advantage. Chairman (of public banquet) ? "Gentlemen, before I introduce the next speaker, there will be a short recess, giving you all a chance to go out and stretch your legs." Guest?"Who is the next speaker?" ^ Chairman?"Before telling you who he is, I would rather wait until you come back."?Life. i a?? m More Truth Than Poetry. Hulda, the cook, had just received a. letter from her Swedish lover in which he told her of his luck in being promoted to top sergeant. Unable to keep the good news to herself, but doubtful of its rendering into English, she went to her mistress: "Lars say," she announced, "that he bane been dislocated." i | Am Closing Out | J1 My Business | EVERYTHING AT CTT PRICES.
