of this issue of The Advertiser will j
be overlooked, as the editor as 1
Chairman of the County Registra
tion Board, has devoted much of
the past week to the registration
for military service.
Precinct registrars are requested :
to be on the alert for persons who
failed to register June 5, reporting 1
them to J. L. Minis, chairman of !
the County Board of Registration.
Miss Minnie Lanham and Miss
Florence Minis left Thursday for
Black Mountain, N. C., to attend
the college Y. W. C. A. conference ?
at Blue Ridge. They will be away
for about two weeks.
The harvest of June brides
throughout Edgefield county will
be above normal. It appears that
Cupid arranges for a "match" about
every other day at Johnston and
Edgefield is also establishing a new
record.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Padgett have
gone to Greenville to attend the
commencement of the G. W. C.,
where Miss Gladys Padgett receives
her diploma, having given her grad
uating music recital in that historic
school ven recently.
Edgefield will send a good dele
gation down to Sweetwater church ,
to attend the third annual memorial
service. Several very able addresses
will be delivered. The members of
Sweetwater church deeply regret
that their pastor, Rev. E. W. Rey
nolds, has resigned to accept a pas
torate in Sumter.

young: Jersey cow to stray from
hie farm, and a week passed before

ditch with her neck broken. He
was offered ?40.00 for the cow the
day before she disappeared.

Miss Woodson as her maid of honor
and Mrs. Lawton as Matron of
Honor.
Mr. W. A. Byrd and Sheriff W.
R. Swearingen returned Sunday af
ternoon from Baltimore with J. B.
King, the shrewd forger and de
frauder. However instead of bring
ing their prisoner to Edgefield, they
placed him in the penitentiary, the
iail at Edgefield be regarded as un
safe. King will probably be brought
to Edgefield for trial during the
July term of court. Our summer
terra of court of general sessions
convenes now the last week in July
instead of the first week in August.

precincts in the county show a total

Edgefield.

romantic occasion. Each guest was
met at the door by little Effie Allen
Lott and Sarah Hughes and pre
sented with a lovely wedding bell
w ith the significant letters P and
M in gold most tastefully written
ipon them.
As soon as all the guests arrived
i musical contest began, which was
5t great interest and very thrill
ing.
The contest was made up from
music on the lovely victrola in the
!iome. The prize, a box of station
ary, was presented by Mrs. J. L.
Minis to Miss Miriam Norris for
having answered the most questions,
but one having been omitted.
The shower idea was beautifully
md daintily carried out by little
Misses Sarah Hnghes and Effie Allen
Lott, who tripped in with two grace
ful parasols, nuder which was a basket
tilled with lovely linen articles, all
of which were displayed and ad
mired by every maiden present.
When the thrill of the contest
was over and the joy of the shower
bad past, an invitation came from
the lovely dining room, where ice
aream and angel cake was served
ind enjoyed by the fortunate and
happy guests.
Coker Shower.

bevy of i'okcr girls and a few others
gathered at the home of Mrs. J. L.
Minis to shower the fair young i
maiden, one of their coterie, who
was soon to become a bride.
Each guest was adorned with a I
Coker souvenir, a pennant, in blue ?
and gold, carn ied in a yellow basket
by little Eleanor Minis. The deco
rations were blue cornflowers and
yellow nasturtiums, the Coker col
ors.
The programme was given for j,
the most part by Coker girls, Misses
Lena Lanham and Mary Jones giv
ing reminiscences, and the musical
numbers were a lovely feature, ]
Misses Helen Clarke and Mattie ;
Harrison of Trenton, graduates in 1
music at Coke;, giving two splendid
numbers. '
Miss Helen Dorn, who holds the i
music scholarship at Coker from
the Federation of Clubs, also played
a lovely selection.

tures of the bride-to-be at several 1
different ages and a gift which she
had received on her wedding day
nearly twenty years ago, presented
by her name-sake, Florence Peak, .
when she was a very tiny little girl. ,
Miss Florence Mima gave a poem .
called "Wishes for the Bride," and :
Miss Miriam Norris sang with her !
inimitable voice and charm, a beau- '.
tiful song of love and romance,
with piano accompaniment by Mrs. ,
Mamie Tillman.
At intervals during the programme
the door bell rang, and many pack
ages were brought in by a messen
ger boy, which made the Coker
shower.
At the close of the programme
and shower a salad course and iced
tea were served.
