FRANK WARDLAW'S VOICE ??? I Have you heard the Rev. Dr. Ward-1 law sing? What a wonderful voice he has, a clear splendid tenor of wonderful compass and splendid timbre, we believe that is the word.

LAWS-M?CORD. 1 - < i The following invitations have 1 been received in Abbeville:. 1 Mrs. Ida Mary Jane Laws ] announces the approaching marriage 1 of her daughter Ada Geneva to 1 Mr. Ernest Franklin McCord on Wednesday, December the twenty fourth, nineteen hundred:and nine- : ' f <\ \ teen. ' 1 Raleigh, North Carolina. ' 1 Mi? Blue Eyes. 1 Miss Blue Eyes, which appeared ( % r n i * . 1.1. _ A. iV _ /"* ? flere Saturday mgnt at me v/per?j House, was a musical comedy thatj ranks with the best and certainly de- J served a larger audience than saw it.'1 The caste was strong, the songs ! I were catchy and well rendered, the ' scenery and costumes were beautiful 1 and the dancing was excellent. The ! plot was an old one, but bore re- > modeling and as presented here as 1 Miss Blue Eyes was well worth see- < ing. 1 J NOT A FOND RECOLLECTION j i Mr. Tom Seals says he doesn't like | ^ such weather as we had Monday } morning. He says it brings to mind too forcibly the fourteen months he spent as a prisoner of war at Fort Delaware and where breakfast con-i sisted of a "cold irish potato as "big , as a walnut and a slice of wasp-nest bread." This diet brought Mr. Seals so near to the starvation point that the Yankees started him home thinking that he would die before reaching Richmond and could be tossed over board and disposed of, but according to Mr. Seals which is good authority he "lived all the way to Richmond . and is living yet." Entertainment At Antreville. ' i There will be an entertainment at 1 the Antreville High School Friday 1 night at 7:30 o'clock for the benefit 1 of the school.

Barnwell, of Chestnut Street, entertained all the, best setback players in the city at dinner Thursday evening last. After enjoying the dinner the game was played according to Greenville street rules and regulations. Jim McMillan did not axactlv draw the Droohet. but he was finally attached to him, and as usual ind as everybody expected, Jim found ;hat he had millstone around his neck, which carried him down to defeat. Dick Sondley, the unbeat and unbeatible champion of Magazine Street landled the game against Jim and ;he prophet, and came near scoring i shutout. If it hadn't been for the :arelessness of his partner in the jarly innings of the game, he would nave done so. Uncle Pat McCaslan was up from "the sticks" and announced at the game that he was soon to leave for Florida, where he will spend the winter among the arange blossoms and pretty girls, and that if anybody else wanted him at a party he hoped they would pull it off before the Christmas holidays were over. ... Daley to the Bat. : CoL W: D. Barksdale has asked for i clear - trade -over wmciv ne : may operate his vestibule on n^xl Friday evening. He proposes, ta give-a dinner at his -home on North Main,, immediately adjoining Greenville Street, ivhich will remind Jenner Link and a few others of the days when he bought out some or the small fry in the lien business every other day. He says that he expects to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that a first class Baptist cannot only build i church and pay for it, carry the Seventy-five Million campaign over for a touch-down, but that he too can spread a spread which is good enough to make a Presbyterian elder smile, )r a Methodist deacon backslide. Rumors Afloat. It has come to us, too, but through 10 official channels, that Col. C. E. Williamson, of Wardlaw Street, had some of the small fry in the setback iffairs of the city, at a turkey din tier last Friday evening, it being stated that he was practicing on thom. in order to cultivate self-cor.fi.'ai:*'/, and that he now feels able, with the experience he has had, to entertain the full faculty of the Greenville Street school, which he may do at inytime he feels disposed. Col. Kerr informs us that he is ready and prepared and that Uncle Jim is also ready. HOW OLD WAS METHUSELAH? The Ladies Home Journal says: VIen who love to dig into what ordilary mortals accept as facts and wonlef at them now and say that the indents of Biblical days reckoned ;ime, not by the sun or the movement Knf Vitr +V10 mnnn TVinc i year with them was a lunar year, or ;very time the moon came around ;hey called it a year. E.oughly speakng, there are a little more than 12 1-2 lunar months of approximately 29 days each in a year. This makes t easier to understand how Adam ived 930 years; according to our >resent reckoning he really lived to je 74. Noah's 950 years become 76 fears; and the daddy of them all, Hethuselah, with his 969 lunar years, Now Going On At ?, We Will Sell r. " . t . . . ; v N SOAP size) 49cts. o a customer. iRSON CO. turns out really to have been 77 years according to our way of figuring. ' Later, of course, the eqinox was cen | sidered, and six moons, or approxi- ^ mately six months, became a "year." Henee Abraham's 175 years becomes c about 87 years of our time. All of ^ which sounds more plausible about these supposed long-lived patriarchs. llOpera | I fSSi I TUT _. . I today? A PARA MOW "The Rose of "Smashing 4. ^ * '* ^ ^ Wedne IMITCHEL!
