Annual Garden Show
Of Kershaw Club
Proves Successful
In a setting typical of an outdoor
garden, the Kershaw Garden Club
held its third annual Flower Show
in the auditorium of the First Bap
tist church of Kershaw. Lawn chairs
and benches, a arpet of grass, snd «
Illy pool centered the spacious rooms
around whose walls long tables cov
ered in white and decorated with Ivy
displayed a profusion of lovely flow
ers from the gardens of Kershaw and
ahrubs and vines from the nearby
woods. •> '
Mrs. Louis Guion of Lugoff, presi
dent of the State Federation of Gar
den Clubs, was an honored guest of
the flower show, and assisting bv
in Judging the exhibits were Miss
Ethel Yates and Mrs. E. B. Mobley
Of Camden. While the early and
rather unusual spring weather this
year somewhat lessened the quanti
ties of flowers generally displayed at
the show, still thM-e were many beau
tlful and interesting entries. Besides
the classes of artistic arrangements,
miniatnres, . sii^le specimens, wild
flowers, and corsages, there was a
millinery room of original Dower
hats, breakfast trays with flower ar
rangement. a section for children,
men’s division, and many other clas
sifications.
The Judges were entertained at
lunch by the Garden Club after which
the exhibits were Judged. Before
guests arrived for the show, Mrs.
Guion made a most Interesting talk
I . ,1. .. ■I'l—.. ' . ly
Miss Charlotte Lucille McCaskill,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Mc-
Caskill of «£gs8att, and Louie De-
Loach Smira, had set their wedding'
date for Sunday. May -d, at the Cas
satt Presbyterian church.
But tAp young people wknted to
avoid fuss and ceremony so they
slipped away to Camden on the even-
Inf of Wednesday* April 25* and were,
quietly married at the home of Rev.
A. D. McAm of Betheeda Presbyterian
church.
Following the ceremony they call^
at the respective homes of their par
ents, broke the news, and then pack
ing hurriedly^ motored to Myrtle
Beach, where they enjoyed a honey
moon.
The elopement quite upset the plans
of both families for a church wed
ding and reception at the McCaskill
home, but like the story in the fairy,
tale book, “they were quietly married
and lived happily ever after."
The bride is a graduate of the
Midway High school and attended
Winthrop college., She worked at the
administration offices of the Southern
Aviation school and later at the of
fice of the International Paper com
pany at Georgetown.
The groom is Identified with his
trother in the Bourbon Dairy here.
