It was inadvertently stated in our i last issue that Hon E C Epps had ] been elected Master of Finance of ( Kingstree lodge,Knights of Pythias, i Dr M L Allen was chosen for that 1 position and Senator Epps as Master ! of Exchequer. j' What with the rainy days immed- 1 iatelv preceding Xmas day and the I small-pox scare, our merchants were j in hard luck this season. Many of | them had invested heavily in Christmas goods and a quantity of their ( stock was left unsold. A commission for a charter has been ' issued to the Williamsburg Hardware 1 Co, capitalized at $12,000. The cor- c porators are J A Kelley, W C Clai- \ borne and E E King.

Mr W W Johnson of Johnsonville is the kind and thoughtful friend to whom we are indebted for ^ the generous gift. May he live long f to enjoy other Christmases galore. S The Record is getting out ahead r 3f time this week, which accounts t for scarcity of local news. This is c ione in order to give our faithful j )ffice force the opportunity of enjoying Xmas day with the responsi- a Dility of "getting out the paper" off I :heir minds. We are sure none of a >ur indulgent readers will begrudge ^ js a little relaxation of labor this , i 11 . j I] )ne weeK or ine year. Mr W 0 Wilson, State deputy of :he W 0 W, who has resided in Kings;ree the past three years,has remov- * ?d to Lake City with his family, .ii vhere he will engage in business, tfr Wilson says he is not leavirg a iingstree because he dislikes the )lace,but,on the other hand,he thinks t the finest little town he has ever a ived in. Also he thinks we have one * >f the best county papers in the State. Ne regret to lose Mr Wilson and his ^ amilv as citizens of Kingstree and . vish them happiness and prosperity 1S n their new home. For the first time since last Sep- ^ ;ember the editor of The Record ven- & :ured out Saturday as far as Main j b md Academy streets and it was in- g ieed a rare pleasure to meet with so j nany friends from town and coun:ry, to receive their hearty hand- * shakes and cordial congratulations h ind kindly sentiments of friendship f ind esteem. Such expressions com- p ng from the heart are priceless t ibove gold and silver, for they canjot be bought with money. It made 0 as feel that we were not forgotten y md our little outing will be cherish- o ?d as one of the pleasantest remem- v prances of the many bright and hap- . py memories associated with the Christmas holidays. 8 The Kingstree High and Graded ^ school suspended class work Fr day 8 For the holiday season and will not f resume duties until Monday, Janu- t sry 6. The closing was marked with g interesting and beautiful exercises. Hie class rooms were all tastefully ieeorated and each presented a ver- ^ itable scene of beauty. Visitors to t the school were requested to vo'ta on I the room which they thought to be s most artistically decorated, and the one occupied by the eighth and ninth grades won the majority of 1 votes and the prize of $3 in cash \ which was offered for the best dec- \ orations. The second prize of $1.50 j was won by the fourth grade. These . grades are taught by Mr Holroyd and Miss Davis, respectively. * I r V A good deal has been said about g the so-called small-pox epidemic in town and the reports in some instances have been highly exaggerated. We have refrained from commenting on the subject until able to make a personal investigation. This we have done and while there are still a few cases here, there has never been, so far as we can learn, but one or two serious cases, and these are now over with. There never has been what might be ca led an "epidemic," as most of the cases were more like varioloid than smallpox, and at the worst stage of the . nrnoTess of the maladv. not more than five or six persons were afflict- j ed at the same time. Practically y everybody in town has now been! vaccinated and in a week or two this1' small-pox "scare" will be but a ( memory. 1AWWWV\WV\V\V%ViV\V%V\ {; SCOTr-BOODIL J 1AV\V\V\WVtWV\V%V\*?V\V\ Never has there been a wedding in this town in which more general interest was taken than that celebrated on Wednesday, the 18th inst, i when Dr and Mrs D C Scott gave their daughter, Helen St Clair, in marriage to Lieut William W Hodlie, USA. The hall and parlors of the big white mansion cn Railroad ivenue were beautifully decorated *ith palms, ferns and holly, while in the big reception room,undoubtedly the largest in the town, a chancel ind altar dressed in ferns and ivy lad been erected. The beautiful! lecorations of the house were in arge measure due to the artistic land of Mrs R J McCfi.be. On the iltar burned a do?fen or more canlies arranged artistically, while on ;he mantel above the fireplace more tandles added their soft lustre to the beauty of the scene. Half-past even o'clock was the hour set for he wedding, and long before that ime a stream of guests flowed steadly toward Railroad avenue and the Doctor's house. At the door the i quests were received by Misses Ita- ( ine Brcckinton and Maud Logan ind were shown into the parlor on 1 fte lett. mere wruie waning ior he ceremony the guests had an op- ! >ortunity to inspect the handsome ind costly presents, consisting of al- i nost everything imaginable in cutp dass and silver and coming from as j, ar North as New York and as far louth as New Orleans. For the light the piano had been placed in i he wide hall and here, as the hands if the clock pointed to 7:30, Miss 1 Jelle Ervin's sweet soprano voice j .rose in that sweet love song, "I ] x>ve You Truly." As the song died ] .way the triumphant strains of Men- < lelssohn's wedding march, splendid-1' y played by Miss Estelle Campbell, j ang out, and to this strain the bri- j ( ,al party entered the large recep- j ion room on the right in the follow- ' ng order: Miss Lilly Ervin of McClellanville 1 nd Mr Hey ward Scott of Kingstree. Miss Hallie Covington of Marion { nd Dr Theodore Hemingway of Lingstree. Miss Juanita Hewitt of Darling- < on and Mr Sterling Boddie of Lou- 1 jburg, N C. Then came the little flower girls aintily dressed in white, with pink I ashes, and carrying shepherdess I askets of pink japonicas: Misses ' Itella Wolfe, Frances Brown, Mary ] 'ranees Montgomery and Margaret * lurgess.

Then entered the fair \ oung bride on the arm of her dame < f honor, Mrs D M Spivey of Youngs- J ille, N C, a sister of the groom. As 1 he bride approached the altar the joom, in the full uniform of a lieu- ( enant of infantry, entered from a i ide door, with his best man, Mr B H 1 >erry of Henderson, N C, and joined he bride. There, in the impressive , ilence that fell upon the audience i lid in the presence of friends who iaJ known and loved her all her life, - ' ? ? e i .1J nis iair aaugnier 01 nisionc uiu Cingstree plighted her troth to the J rallant young soldier at her side. i After the ceremony and the offer- ! ng of cor.gratulations the guests < yere ushered into the dining-room, vhere Mesdames W G Gamble, R J Cirk, John F McFadden and W T (Vilkins assisted in dispensing the lospitalities of the house. A delinous course of cream and cake was erved, while in the corner of the lall, Miss Belle Ervin presided over he punch bowl. As the bride stood at the altar she )resented a charming picture of se ious yourg womanhood. The wed-! ling dress was of white satin char- j neuse, trimmed with lace and pearls, j vith orange wreath and veil, and I :ull court train. She wore a hand-1 iome pendant of pearls, the gift of ;he groom,and carried a shower boujuet of bride's roses and lilies of ;he valley. The dame of honor, Mrs Spivey, vore a dress of pink charmeuse with jearl ornaments. She carried a bou- i juet of white roses. The bridesmaids were all gowned in white lingerie dresses and carried pink roses. Mrs D C Scott, the bride's mother, wore a dress of black chantilly lace and satin, trimmed with jet and coral ornaments. Mrs Boddie, Sr. mother of the groom, wore a handsome costume of black velvet. At 9 p.m.the bride and the groom, j having changed their dress to traveling costumes, left the house and took the 9:15 train south for a honeymoon trip, which will extend as far south as Cuba. After January 2 Mr and Mrs Boddie will beat home to their friends at Louisburg, N C. The bride, as Miss Helen Scott, is , one of the best loved of the young women who have grown up in Kingstree in recent years. A host of friends,while sorrowful that she has left the home nest, rejoice with her in her new-found happiness, and their hearty prayers for her continued welfare will follow her into her new home.
