A Birthday Party. On the evening of May 31st., Mi99 Mary Ann Dreher gave a birthday . party at ber home in the Countsville section of the Patch Fork. Mi88 Dreher is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H:Dreher and is just sweet -, I almost forgot?a lady's age mast not be told. A boat thirty yoang folks were invited and at8:30 they began to come to the home from which bright lights were flashing from eyery window. Most of the gaest were from the im mediate neighborhood. Space forbids my mentioning the names of all who were present. Those who came from the South side of the river were Messrs Sandal Hook, Sam Derrick, Tom and Herman Wingard, Misses Katherine Sflrd and Annie Oaoghman. The girls are mentioned last becaase the sweets are always last. Two fairer daaghters never crossed Saluda's rippling waters. As the guest were usnerea into me ; hall they could not fail to admire the beauty of the decorations which were arranged by Misse9 Nina Henry, Alice and Lola Palmer, which trio aided so much toward making the occasion a complete success. The decorations v were made more beautiful by the yonng ladies who stood in relief all along . where green vines hung. The ladies were invited into the parlor at the right ^and the young men to the left. This at first seemed strange to me, but when I recalled what the scriptures say, and after being invited into the parlor I saw at a glance why this order wa9 chosen. The ladies needed nothing in the shape of enthymol or a change of tresses to improve their look3, for they looked like roses among thorns when the boys sat by i their side. A few parlor games were indulged in early in the evening having best for last. At 10:30 a salad course and ice course were served after which an old time cake walk was next ! An nrrtm-ftm Tho narhnprfi TJ7PrP ! - vu VMV |" chosen by numbers, lncky for the two | bachelors, otherwise they might have been left alone. The night was warm j < and how refreshing was that gentle j sonthern breeze as we walked around I j . and aroand awaiting the decisive shot. .The cake was won by Miss Mary Ana Dreher and the writer. It was * beautiful that some begged- that it be spared the knife. The iceing was artisticall done by the skillfnl hand of Mrs.?. G. Dreher, and would have done credit to a Reidlinger. On the cake one could read, "M. A. D." May ? 31,1913. This cake was pleasing to the eye; it was deli jious to the palate. After the walk we were invited to a miniature forest at the far end of the ball where Miss Alice Palmer and Jno D. HiUer served punch to the thirsty cake-walkers. The fountain of youth * which Ponce DeLeon sought in vain, seemed to have been found in the big bowl which was all but hidden in the forest. Everybody was happy; every body was young; everybody was, the same age; "Has there any old fellow got mixed with the boys, if * there has take him out, without making a noise Hang the almanac's cheat and the B -catalogue's spite old time is a liar! B we're twenty to-night! While all is joy B*" and gladness' time passes rapidly never .the less it was hard for as to realize V that it wag midnight when Mrs. Dreher fl said "It is Snndsy," the hands of that B clock must have had some pun 30, fl After taking a peep at the many B useful presents"Miss Dreher received B ' we said good-night. In the name of B the invited guests I wish to thank Mr. B a?d Mrs. Dreher, their daughter, and B . all who aided them in the preparation B of this social event, which was so B thoroughly enjoyed by all that it will linger long in our memories. A Bachelor. I Arrested for Burglary. B Truby Phillips, a white man, giviDg B his age as 28 and his place of birth, Houston, Texas, was arrested Friday B night by Sheriff Miller, and now lodgB ed in Lexington jail, charged with B burglary and larceny and carrying conB cealed weapons.

Mr. Keller, pastor of tjie Green Street Methodist charch of Columbia. The historic old charch was decorated with ferns and potted plants. A musical programme was rendered by Miss Gladys Dent of Lexington, while the audience was assembling, the wedding march being also rendered by Miss Dent. The bridesmaids were Misses Lizzie Caughman and Minnie Hendrix, and the groomsmen McPee Anderson of Columhia and Eugene Hook. Miss Kate Shall, the bride's sister, was maid of honor, and Odes Turner of Columbia, best man. The ushers were: W. A. Hook, Eugene Little, Daniel Hook and Henry Shall. . The bride was given away by her aunt, Mrs. C. E. Corley, Jr. The bride was peculiarly lovely in a dark blue coat suit, aed earned an armful of bride's roses. The bride is talented and a favorite in the community where she is known. She is a daughter of Mr. and ^rs. M. D. Shuli and is a former student of Columbia college. The groom is a prominent young business man of Columbia, j but belongs to one of the oldest and j most honored families of old Lexington. . j Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left for a trip to Washington, Baltimore, New York and other points of interest in the North. Returning they will be at home to their friends in Columbia. A reception, which was largely attended, was given by the parents of the bride on Monday evening, and the young people were the recipients of many beautiful, costly and useful presents.
