Three Past Masters.
Do you Want to know who owns
the newest old car in Edgefieltf

we'll tell you. It is Press Medlock.
He and his, faithful Ford, now near
ly five years of age, were in town
yesterday and his car almost had
the appearance of one just arrived
from Detroit. It is nip and tuck be
tween Charlie Griffin, Press Medlock'
and George Mims, as to which is the
best care-taker of an automobile.
When we can afford to own a Ford
we expect to take lessons in auto
grooming from one of these past
masters.

surprise to the friends of the bride

Beautiful Party For Mr. and
Mrs. Julian Bland, t
The Tompkins home in Buncombe
where the bride was a beloved mem
ber of the household, several win
ters, was the scene on Thursday
evening of last week for one of
the most elaborate of the series of
parties given for Mr.' and Mrs. Ju
lian Bland, with Miss Marge Tomp
kins as the attractive young host
ess.
Dorothy Perkins roses and'sweet
peas were used elaborately in the
pretty, old parlor, living room and
dining room'where ten tables were
arranged for bridge.
Miss Rosada Talbert won top
prize and Mrs. W. L. Dunovant, Jr.,
the booby, a deck of cards and
candy, respectively. The bride was
given a set of hand embroidered
guest towels and the groom pretty
ties as souvenirs of the happy oc
casion.
An elaborate salad course com
pleted the function over which Miss
Tompkins and her sister, Mrs. H.
C. Mitchell, presided with inherited
charming manners.
Mourns For Buncombe Trees.
Among* the beautiful trees re
cently cut in Buncombe were the
Dr. Gwaltney elms that stood as me
morials to a beloved saint, whose
wish it was that long after he had
passed into the Great Beyond, the
saplings his hands had carefully
placed should spread their leafy
shade for the passerby, and Bun
combeites feel that something very
sacred has been forever lost.
Other trees planted by hands long
since folded in death have been sac
rificed with the elms, so tradition
loving Buncombe truly mourns as
a Rachael, who cannot be comfort
ed since the trees that were her
pride are not.
