The people of Latta had quite a surprise one day last week in the marriage of H. Leon LeGette to Miss Gladys Wright of Marlboro county. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. G. .Murphy pastor of the Clio Methodist church. The marriage took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Wright, who live on a farm about five miles from Clio. The happy couple are spending a few days here at Latta with the bridegroom's parents Mr. and Mrs. J. A. B. LeGette. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smith were delightful host and hostess on Tues|day evening when they entertained twenty of their friends. The house was made pretty with many spring blossoms. This, with the warm and generous hospitality received 4 from the host and hostess, made it a pleasant occasion indeed: Chicken bog, served in molds with hot rolls, pickles, coffee, fruit salad, ice cream and cake were bountifully served by the hostess assisted by Mrs. Rogers and .Miss Amanda Edwards. Mrs. W. D. Bethea entertained the Bridge Club on Friday afternoon in ihonor of Miss Julia Rogers a new member.

A Mr. Cottingham who farnjB near Latta brought a genuine boll weevil into my office on Saturday, which was captured from a swarm of these insects in a field not far off. It might not be too late, or bad advice to plow up cotton even at this late date, where the stand is poor, and plant corn and peas instead. The Methodists of Latta, according to their plans all along, put on the educational drive on Sunday, May the 29 th, and worked with the several committees from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and by the evening hour foi preaching the amount allotted to this church was a little over-subscribed and was so stated by Dr. Kirkland at the beginning of the evening service. We hope to see all our sister churches do as well. As we see it, and believe it to be a call productive of more good than any heretofore made by the Methodists at any time in their past history. Sheriff Bethea and his deputy John McCracken on Thursday morning found a splendid Bmall copper still complete near Reedy Creek springs. It appeared to have been recently operated. There was no one at the still when it was discovered. A colored man by the name of Sam Caldwell lives within about 400 yards of where the still was being operated, and is known to be an expert distiller of high grade whiskey. He was taken by thte officers and is now in the Dillon county jail to await the out come of the affair. Tennis Matches It used to be that Latta was talked about in terms of base ball; but now it has changed to tennis. Quite a number of enthusiastic young stars popped up in the last few months? as well as a few older ones. Dal Bethea claims that he is by far the champion, although Ed Fenegan is no mean runner-up. If my young friend Zeigler had started in the game about ten years earlier, he might have made some of these would] be champiorg take notice; even now i he is no mean player. Carl Edwards I is beginning to think that he has developed the "Lofty" stroke to about the place where he will soon be able to beat our young friend Long, from Florence. There are some others we might mention, including Mr. T. W. Berry, M. H. Cox, "Dolly" Bass, R. T. Fajrey, but these all claim that they play only for the exercise, and more especially when nobody is looking. F'airey's shoulder has a habit of becoming dislocated when lie is playing; with the ladies, which does not speak very well of him as-an. athlete. All of which leads me to the main theme of this write-up, the tennis tournament which was held here on the local courts last Thursday, the 26th. Messrs. Long, Hardee, and Willis, all of Florence, and McSween and Glaze of Rowland came over and uigeiiier wun ine local cDamps had j quite a day of it. The first games of i the morning were played by Long! and Hardee against Bethea and Willis, Long and Hardee winning two sets by the score of 6-3, 6-1. Bethea' did not appear to be in his usual form for these first sets, hence the score. The next sets were played by Bethea and Fenegan against Willis and SHS-ffi-ffi-fflHS-?" i EE and ^ ts Bank E3 , s. c. E3 ???? ^ $100,000,00 Ei $125,000.00 j \ ' E 3 NGEST - BEST H JM' % . 'riinlM, resulting in the scoVe of 76, 7-6 for the first two player*. Letts showed up fairly well in these sets. The last set of the morning was played by Long and Edwards against Bethea and Zeigler, the (score being .62. In the afternoon McSween and Glase played Bdthea and Fenegan tbree sets, the scores resulting as follows: 6-7, 7-6, 7-6. McSween and Glaxe came fresh into the game, while Bethea and Fenegan were both somewhat fatigued, from the playing of the morning, otherwise the score would possibly have been somewhat different. Th<e players from Rowland Bhowed well, especially at the net. They were both in better physical trim than their opponents which went a long way in tbfelr favor. " The last set of doubles for the afternoon was played by Hardee and Long against McSween and Qlaze. Long seemed to lose his nerve for the first five games, which caused the score to read 0-5. but Just as suddenly came back, with the result that the final score reed 9-7. Before the set was over both teams had begun to show the result of too strenuous playing, which caused the interest to lag just a little. Willis and Zeigler played the only set of singles after this, resulting in a deuce set finally of 7-7. They seemed to be about evenly matched. Altogether the games were ^ell enJoyed by both players and spectators. We are looking forward to the next tournament with greater interest than ever. i?o By ordering her milliners to use n6 wild bird plumage on her hats.
