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.

Interesting Letter From Camp
Branch.
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.

All the male citizens between the
ages of 21 years and 60 years, except
those exempt by law, are liable to a
poll tax of One Dollar each. A capita
tion tax of 511 cents each is to be paid
on all dogs.
The law prescribes that all male citi
zens between the ages of 18 and 55
years must pay $2.00 commutation tax
or work six days on the public roads.
As this is optional with the individual,
no commutation tax is included in the
property tax. So ask for road tax re
ceipt when you desire to pay road tax.
