Pickens Drug Co., sole distributors, Pickens, S. C. -A bevy of fair women, rich ly gay, are enjoying the hospi table home of W. H. Ashmore in Pickens, and greatly enjoying the many advantages accruing from a sojourn in our lovely lit tle town. The young people of our town-youth, beauty and wisdom-young ladies and gen tlemen, are all vieing with each other in assisting Miss Vesta Ashmore, who is a most charm ing hostess, in entertaining her fair guests. The young ladies constituting this house party are Misses Mary Harris, of Charlotte, N. C., Blanche Wil liams, of Ashville, N. C., Jessie Quinn, of Rutherfordton, N. C., Essie and Dora Guy, of Chester, S. C., and Mrs. V. L. Loehr, of Clinton, S. C. Mrs. A. J. Boggs Entertains. Last Friday night Mrs. A. J. Boggs entertained her guests. Miss White, of Augusta, Ga., and Miss Sholer, of Easley, with a lawn sociable, on the magnifi cient lawn of Mrs. J. H. Newton. Quite a crowd of the young folks of the town were present and an enjoyable time was had. The lawn was well lighted with japanese lanterns, rustic seats around the trees and in con venient nooks and corners. Youth, adorned by beauty and with chivalry on guard, could be found perambulating the by ways, or seated alongside 'the hedges, and( all enjoying each moment, as all too fast the witch ing hour for parting drew nigh when chivalrous youth and love ly maidlen must bid adlieu. The refreshments were served on the lawvn. Ice cream, sher berts, cakes, and other dainties, in the utmost profusion of plenti fulness was there as was the hum of joyous pleasantries, and the peals of laughter caused by the ready badinage of frind to frind. verriv t' wa a lov1l scene which would bring regret to him who has mounted to the summit the ridge pole of life and now casts his eyes along the decline before him. Mrs. Boggs is a most charm ing hostess, who knows full well how to make it pleasant for the young folks, and while she might be classed by some, as be longing to the "older set," yet, when it coies to looking after the joys and pleasures, she is youthfulness personified and can well be classed with the "sweet sixteen" set. Verily in a sense, today Mrs. B. is younger than any of her daughters, and to her in great nieasure, are the young folks of our town indebted for many of the enjoyable occasions they have heretofore had. Her heart beats with joy at the in nocent pleasures of youth and as she will never grow old in its truest and severest sense, the young folks of our town will al ways have a helper and ally in anything looking to their joy and pleasure. In her charming daughters this charm of .the mother is being developed, and shoul1d the cares and burdens of life (if they ever) set heavy on heri shoulders, her children can, and w%ill, well follow their moth er's footsteps. This is ai most charming fai ilv who delight in pleasantly entertaining their friends. In buying a cough medicine, don't be afraid to get Chamberhin's Cough Rem edy.
