Wslterboro, Dec. 30. 1910 GOOD TIMES AT CROSS SWAMP Lodge, Dec. 30.—Special: Xmas in the “Cross Swamp” community has been one of the most exquisite pleasures. The Christina* tree at the church was quite a success. Hundreds of people came to join in the celebra tion.» When the limbs of the tree collapsed with presents, tables were provided and finally the fiuor had to be resorted to. An address was de livered by A. S. Yarn, song service with Santa Claus visit completed the exercises. Old Santa was feel ing well and added much to the children's pleasure. On Tuesday evening the Excelsior Bible Class entertained the Onward C&sb at the hospitable home of Mrs. Georgie Rich. At the appointed hour the members and guests ar rived and did ample justice to the tables laden with “food fit for the gods”. From memory 1 fear to give the menu lest 1 forget, for when the appetite is satisfied the brain is sluggish. However turkeys, chick ens, guineas etc disappeared re markably fast. A variety of cakes, pies, pickles, sauces, coffee and teas with all requisites for serving fol lowed with ambrosia as the final. The spacious rooms in their Xmsa decorations were thrown open. All felt the warm welcome, with no con- straints of formality each and every j|Pe joined in the program consisting 1 WANTfD 100 YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN to prepare for B.)«>kkeepioR MeDOtrephic.

Cope Smith Rice with Miss Annie Folk drew with Henry Fonds and Sally Yam for first prize, while the booby was rendered to C. R. Jones and Mary Folk without any opposition. The lads and lassies who had previously arranged were much chagrined and amused when the entertainment committee gave them spliced cards containing pro verbs to which they must suit its other half and take the suiter to supper. Such little surprises were continually popping up, all entered into them with much good will and laughter. Among the visitors to this recep tion. from off were Misses Bertha Godley of Lamar. Ollie Rhoad of Martin, Mary Rich of Williston, Effie Jones of Washington, D. C.

Everyone who comes in contact with them catches the spirit of push and are benefited spiritually to say nothing of this grand entertainment that afforded pleasure to so many visitors and home comers -hence the far reach ing effects. Six hearts have been made to heat as three during the holidays—name’y Mr. Milton Folk and Mrs. Ku .t Barnes. Mias Emma Carter and L. Bennett, and Miss Jennie Cummings and Julius McMillan.
