To The Tomato Club Girls
Dear Club Members:
Some time ago I wrote each of you
about planting tomatoes. I hope
you have set ail of your one-tenth
acra (66ftx6t>fl or 132ftx33ft.) Prune
them by pinching off, as soou as they
occur, all the suckers below the first
tlower cluster. Train to single stakes
or trellis and cultivate shallow and
often.
I wish to urge you to put uo some
strawberries for the fair. You can
adyertise the resources of Horry by
putting up a large variety of products
from the fruits and vegetables
growing around your home. If possible
use the glass top E Z seal jars
in connection with tin cans.
You should make arrangements
to secure canning outfits and suj)
plies at once.
The Farm Canning Machine Co.,
Meridian, Miss, offers complete hot
water canning outfit for $5.75. The
Homo Canner Co., Hickory, N. C
offers complete hot water outfit for
$5.50. Order other supplies, cans,
etc, from the National Can Co, Balti

a news item relating tho M
tifill marriage of Mrs. Alice Single- jB
Ion. * A correspondent kindly sent |||
to this paper a short history of this IB
lifo, which wo publish as being out ||p
of the ordinary.
Just after the war between tbo k
States, the lady in question, thcu
known as Miss Alice Hearlo, married
a man named Berry from the
State of Maine. lie was devoted to I
j his wife until 1875 whon he died.
Two years later the widow was
married to a M?\ Younw who was
h v faithful companion for some fl
years. lie died and was buried in |
Georgetown C)uoty,and some years B
later the widow married Mr. Win.
Lawrimore, commonly known and ||
called by those who knew him by
tho name of "Bill Socks". Just
why ho possessed this curious came ^
[do not know, and cannot e\en guess,
Anyway, they enjoyed about two
J months of wedded bliss, when like a B
[bolt from the blue, the lirstand only
j lawful Mrs, Socks appeared upon ^B
J the scene and ended this littie roj
I inatice. Mr. Socks had committed
| bigamy it seems. Soon after this f
' the sad but undaunted widow came
near to marrying one Mr. hux.
Curious to relate, but nevertheless
true, Mr. Hux was taken suddenly
ill and died at the very hour appointed
for the wedding. Not long
afterwards Miss Alice was happily
married to Mr. Benjamin Singleton
of Toddville. They lived happily together
until Mr. Singleton's death
