A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING. The marriage of Miss Fannie Harris and Mr. Henry Hagerman was I solemnized last Wednesday evening, at half past eight o'clock, Dec. 16th, * 1915, at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. John A. Harris, on Lower Main street. The house had been made lovely in its wedding decorations and the scene was bright and animated, each friend and loved one vieing with the other in making the bride feel that she was entering upon the happiest period of her life and that she had the good wishes of , jjp the parlors the decorations I n whue, a large bank of ferns and evergreens being placed in the embrasure of the window and it was here between two white pedestals, surmounted by brass urns, filled with white carnations that the happy couple stood to make their marriage vows.

Her veil was in cap fashion, looped with orange blossoms, covering and reaching to the end of the handsome court train in the back. Her bouquet was of lilies of the valley with the shower of white ribbon. The bridal gift of the groom was a lovely necklace of seed pearls and fbis added its soft beauty to the costume. After the ceremony the bridal party turned and received the congratulations of their friends and received those who came to the reception afterwards, only the intimate friends of the bride being bidden to witness the ceremony. In the back parlor the punch bowl was placed and here a delightful beverage was dispersed by Miss Mary Graham, Miss Annie Aiken ana ivir. Anarew JacKson. In another room the handsome presents were displayed and the many beautiful gifts were an evidence of the popularity of the happy pair. In the dining room the decorations were in pink, asparagus ferns, evergreens and pink carnations being used. The centerpiece was beautiful vase of carnations, set on a reflector mirror, while from the chandelier streamers of pink tulle reached to the corners of the table.

THE HONOR ROLL The following is the Honot Roll of the City schools for the third month. The Honor Roll for the first four grades is based on perfect attendance and conduct. The honor roll for the fifth grade and up contains the names of pupils who have made * " ^an average of 90 or more on scholar1 ship for the first three months as follows: First and second months are daily marks and third month grades are on examination only. The first two names are the first and second honorpupils except in the eighth grade where Herman Wisby and Ruby Mann tied for first place. Helen Haigler gets second place in this grade. With the close of the third month the first session closes. Parents should very carefully examine their children's reports and encourage the ones who might be falling back in their work. We are convinced that some children are not doing the proper amount of study, that some must take the grade over as it is impossible for some pupils to do the work in ten years and that most of the children now below can reach the I1CA t (IUC i/ino ovuwi ^ cai ix are made to get down to work. To do this the parents must co-operate ft with teachers. . * All the schools close for the holidays from Dec. 23rd to Jan. 3rd. 1st Grade: Miss Calhoun?Henry Culbreth, Horace McAllister, Roy Nance, Thelma Bauknight, Elizabeth Beeks, Ruby Brown, Elizabeth Corley, Sarah Cowan, Annie Cheatham, Vivian Copenhaven, Mary Hill Ferguson, Margaret Flynn, .Margaret Harrison, Ernestine McCord, Mary Emma McCord, Ada Perrin, Grace Smith, Louise Uldrick, Eilzabeth Wilson. 1st Grade: Miss Wham?

Richard Sondley with re- I gard to the incident related to us ? by him about Col. Sondley and the "correct time of day," in which he enters a sweeping denial of each ' and every allegation of the com- ' plaint. His lette:.- to Col. Sondley is as follows: I Washington, D. C., Dec. 17, 1915. J Hon. Richard Sondley, Abbeville, S. C. Dear Mr. Sondley:?I was much f astonished at an article in this week's Press and Banner, in which I am represented as having told a certain outrageous story on you. I did not do anything of the kind. I saw Mr. Greene while he was in Washington last week, and ne seemed to be sober at the time. I can't * imagine why he should have gone c home and written such a yarn. 1 You may tell him, if you see him, I that I am as mad as a man ought ^ to be under the circumstances, and c that the next time I come to Abbe- c ville I am going to have Col. J. D. a Kerr give him a whaling. With assurances of esteem, I am, Yours very truly, A. M. Carpenter. 3 We can imagine two reasons only ^ why the Colonel now denies telling i us of the incident, to wit: First, t Several years ago we called on a i friend of ours then residing in Greenwood, who believed that liquor ( was made to drink, and who conse- f quently had taken a little too much on board. We thought he was * looking at us, as no one else was in the room, but he stated that he was not, and that he was looking at c "that fellow sitting beside" us. Now * it may be that we understood tne e Colonel to be speaking of the inci- 1 dent to us, when in reality he was r speaking to the man sitting beside t us. Second. Being a married man himself, it may be that the Colonel 1 thught it a shorter way out. of the 6 difficulty to deny to Mr:;. Carpenter * that he was on Millinery r6w, rather than attempt to explain just what.c he and Col. Sondley were doing on e that beat. t v APOLOGIES TO "THE STATE." r c ' x x A man on Upper Main went to ^ Atlanta last week for a few days ? stay and returned on the evening train, when he was informed that a function was about ta be pulled t off in town and that he and his i wife were invited. While he hur- r riedly dressed upstairs his wife \ dropped her gloves into his overcoat a pocket^'in the hall below. When the time arrived to go, and they had gotten fully started he ran his hand in his overcoat pocket, and felt a pair of kid gloves. He F eased them up, and took a side-wise c glance at them, and saw they were t white. Having a brief suspicion of just whose they were and when they got there, he dashed them behind him at the first dark place, and proceeded towards the party. When they were about to arrive, his wife asked for her white kid gloves. He swore he didn't have them and that ' he hadn't seen them. And he swore some more when the new pair cost him seven dollars. 1 - ( I A Common Failing. ' A couple of visitors from a rural district were in the strangers' gallery In the house of commons trying to recognize their member on the floor. "I ' can't distinguish him." said one, after , a hopeless visual observation. "Of course not," was the honest reply. "He can't even distinguish himself." -Tit-Bits. The Dumdum Bullet.

A ~x ?-U?.?1 J M <v+ a11/>TirAl9 V/orn BLUooie auuuiu uui uo anvnEui o stand in the field all winter undis-| urbed. The corn stalk borer is one >f the "reasons" for this. This insect s one of the most notorious oorn vests, of the South and evidence of its vork can be seen in practically any :om field at harvest time. It is the aujje of the holes that may occur in ,ny portion of a stalk. The corn stalk borer remains as a arva, or "worm, in the base of corn rtubble <beneath the ground during the vinter. Farmers do this insect a ;reat favor, therefore, when they let heir corn stubble stand undisturbed n the field during fall and winter. Destroying corn stubble is not very ;asy, except on modernly equipped arras where there is sufficient horse ower and the stubble can be turnd under thoroughly. There is, there ore, some temptation to leave it unlisturbed. But the advantages of urndng stubble are such that a farmt cannot well afford not to do lit. Turning it under helps very much in educing the corn stalk borer for he next season. Where thorough turning cannot be >racticed, there are other methods | uch as "busting out" the stubble and j lauling it to the compost heap for roting. By another method, after the :orn la gathered, stalks, stubble, and ,verything else may be "busted out," aked into heaps and, after a few peeks for drying, burned. In experiner.tai work a very large percentage if 'jorn stalk borer larvae (worms) vas destroyed during winter where he stubble was plowed out and left xposed to the weather. But when these methods are prac-, iced by farmers only here and there, i t will not help the situation very nuch. The control of the corn stalk ; >orer depends upon the co-operative | iction of the farmers of a community, i The fact must also be borne in j nind that it is an extravagant prac-1 ice to let corn fields lie idle and ex- i iosed during the winter months, not i inly on account of these insect pests, ; >ut also on account of the loss from i vasliing and leaching of soils.

Knitting is a Scotch invention of the ifteenth century, and Scotch knitted stockings soon found their way to France. A guild of stocking knitters, :oo, was soon formed, with St. Fiacre is their patron saint. Hand knitting was not long left without machinery is a rival, for it was as long ago as 1589 that William Lee invented the knitting frame. Failure. Whatever may be said of "fall," the lexicons of a coroner's jury in Michigan certainly contain the word "fail ure," as witness the finding: "We, the jury, find that the deceased came to his death from heart failure, superinduced by speculation failure, which was the result of failure to see far enough ahead."?Modern Merchant. iTMAS > :: BEAUTIFUL PRE Jf3J3J2J3M3MSM2ISMSMi3Jtic!MM3MSMSMSJSJ5 eautiful line of holiday g< s now ready for the inspe< ihey see it.
