Malvern Hill Club Report
Old Man Winter .whistled through
the pines the luat day of November,
hut that didn't keep the members of '
the Malvern I.iili Home Demonstration
club at home. No indeed?they
came out 88 1-8 per cent strong, and
didn't seem to mind it at all. And
while we are on the subject we may j
as well mention that this is a comparatively
young club but some of
the older ones are going to have to
hustle to keep up with It.
The November meeting was called
to order as usual. Mrs. Will Denton
had the devotional, emphasizing the
thankfulness theme. The project song
wus "Come Ye Thankful People,
Come." This is a beautiful song of
thanksgiving but truth requires me
to stute that the way it was rendered
by the club members won't bring In
any radio offers.
Christmas seals were given out to
be sold und it was decided to hold
the December meeting at night,
stressing the social side and inviting
the "men folks,"
Miss Fewell's subject was "Itoom
Arrangement," and she made it very
fascinating by illustrating her points
wifh miniature furniture. Times have
changed in home furnishings Just as
they have in clothes and other things.
Some of you remember the gay 90's
(whether you would admit it or not),
when you went visiting you were ushered
Into the "sitting room" (the parlor
being kept for sure enough company).
The chairs and Bofa were
fat with upholstering?even the most !
innocent little chair in the corner had
its red or green bulges. The table
in the exact mathematical center of
the room was enveloped with a thick
cover that touched the floor. The
I cottage organ was laden with pictures
of Uncle Ezra, Aunt Sue and 1
Cousin Willie. Couch shells, tidies, i
calendars, almanacs and gilded cat
tails were scattered about in profusion.
And underneath it all, stretched
from corner to corner was a homemade
rug carpet.
But today when you visit you will
be cordially received In the liviug
room. This room Is designed for comfort
and beauty. All other things
should be discarded. It is well to
arrange the furniture so that thero
is_a music center, a reading center
uiiv of course In the winter, the fireplace
plays an important part. Most
pieces of furniture should be set to
follow the lines of the room or rug
and the line of traffic left open.
Mrs. Frank Bell helped the'hostess, ,
Mrs. Molvin Hall, serve refreshments '
consisting of cake, sandwiches and
coffee, which with her hospitality
combined with a roaring fire was
grand on a cold winter day. In conclusion
(to quote somebody's old
Irish grandmother) "Shure an' it was
a foin matin." ,

j
Cherokee county citizens to the
number of 1.600 signed petitions to
the governor for the pardon, or pa- |
role, of l>ock Parris, brother of the
state senator there, who Is serving
a life sentence for murder. He was
convicted in November 1934, of killing
a night watchman at the Limestone
mills, where he went after
threatening to get the watchman. Solicitor
Watts tells the pardon board. It
was a cold blooded murder. The many
petition signers say they disagree
with the Jury and that Parris acted *
in self defense. The Jury was eleven
to one at first for the death penalty.
