Monday, October 11th was an oc casion of much joy and happiness in the hospitable home of Dr. and Ben, Adams of Plum Branch. This beautiful sun shiny day seem ed typical of the married life of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Adams, Sr., which was the celebration of their 50th mar riage anniversary, their golden wed ding. The friends and relatives gathered from far and near, Edgefield, Mc Cormick and some from Greenville, from eleven till one-thirty. The hall and parlor were tastefully decorated in smilax and golden rod. Mrs. Adams was Miss Hettie Mims, daughter of Capt. Ben Mims, much beloved in his day. This bride and r"om of fifty years were the recip ient of many useful and various presents, which shall be mementoes of their kindred and friends through out their remaining years. This lovable woman and kind hearted man, we believe, felt as young and happy as on their wed ding day, mingling with their friends and expressing what joy it was to have them there. After seeing and talking with those whom we had not seen for quite a while, Mendelssohn's Wed ding March was played by Miss Hel en Dorn from Edgefield and a great niece of the "bride," the crowd marched out to the bountifully spread table under the shade trees by the side piazza, then you must find your plate with your own name written on a golden heart in it, then sit down to this dinner which consist ed of the most delightful barbecued hash, pork and kid, prepared by Mr. Jasper Parks. The salads, irish po tatoes, rico, tomatoes, iced tea and coffee were prepared by Dr. Adams' wife. As this meal which was much en joyed by all who sat at this table of sixty or more, drew to a close short talks from Col. Jas. Talbert, Messrs. John McKie and Wideman, were al so enjoyed. Too soon the hour to bid adieu ar rived as Col. Talbert remarked he "would like to stay all the time." This day shall always be remem bered by all who were present, and wishing many more happy anniver saries for this couple. ; A GUEST: , Large Stoek to Seleet From We are showing the largest and best selected stock of fall merchandise that we have ever shown.
