A Beautiful Home Wedding. Sunday afternoon a large number of relatives and friends gathered at the hume of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Edmunds to witness the marriage of their daughter, Miss Rhea Ed munds, to Mr Belton Rambo of Au gusta, The afternoon was ideal, the bright autumn sun apparently smil ing upon the beautiful occasion. The front parlor in which the ceremony was performed, Rev P B Lanham officiating, was tastefully decorated with pot plants, cut flow ers and smilax, the latter being gracefully draped from the ceiling to the windows and doors. The mantel contained large vases of cut 'flowers. The beautiful decoration formed an attractive background for those who'gathered to witness the impressive ceremony. The wed ding march was played on the piano bj' Miss Julia Linson. "Hearts and flowers" softly during the ceremony. Immediately after the words which united the lives of these two young people were said, they were showered with congratulations and good wishes. According to the cus tom of lon? standing, they were pelted unmercifully with rice. In order to save themselves from the repeated showers of rice the bride and groom had to rush from the parlor. The bride was becomingly clad in a beautiful tailored suit of blue broadcloth with large picture hat to match. She carried a bouquet of huge pale yellow chrysanthemums. The groom who is a prominent young business man of Augusta, a descendant of au old Edgetield family, was clad in a conventional black suit. After a social hour, fol lowing the ceremony, Mr and Mrs Rambo left in their touring car for home in Augusta, More than a dozen young ladies and young gentlemen, relatives and friends of the bride and groom, came up from Augusta in autotuo mobiles. They returned soon after tbe bride and groom departed. Mr and Mrs Edmunds served an elaborate dinner just preceding the marriage ceremony to the guests in their home who had come from a distance to attend the marriage, which was one of unusual pleasure.

Old Camp Branch is not dead, but almost forgotten by a good many of our friends, BO after being absent so long in the columns ol your valuable paper, we will say "good morning" to you again-that ia if we are not thrown in the waste basket. We had beautiful weather for the Edgefield fair, and then it was such a grand success. Think it was en joyed by all. Most every one at tended from this community. The farmers cannot have the weather for ah excuse for not sow ing grain this year, for they are blessed in pretty weather. Most of the cotton has been gath ered in this section; also, the corn. Camp Branch school opened on Monday, October 30, with a goodly number of bright children, with: Miss Helen Stratton as teacher. She is from Augusta. Miss Lena DeLaughter was com pelled to stop school on account of her eyes. Hope she will soon be able to start again. Mr. Tom Burnett made a flying trip to Augusta last week to pur chase a bill of goods for his store, and think there was some attraction for him in North Augusta. Mrs. John Burnett left Monday to take ber school near Mr. Jack GrifhVs. Miss Estelle Eubanks and her brother, Claude Eubanks, spent Sunday with Mrs. J. R. DeLaugh ter. The holiness meetings are still around. They are at Red Hill now. Think their meetings have been en joyed by all who attended them, and have done a good deal of good in some communities. I think some of the people in this country need civilization anyway. The saw mill in this community is doing good work, cleaning out the trees so fast that we will soon feel like we are not living in woods. They are sawing timber for Mr. C. W. Burnett now, as he is planning to build a tenant house, but the boys has his eye on it, but he don't know it. Mrs. J. R. DeLaughter is doing nicely with her music class at Red Hill, and also with her class at home. Camp Branch. To The Citizens and Voters of I Edgefield County.
