f DOCKET SHOWS MANY CASES Continued Over From the Last Term of General Sessions The Court of General Sessions will convene here on Monday, March 5th, 1923, with Judge W. H. Townsend as the presiding judge. Magistrates all over the county have been sending cases up to the higher court since the last term. The magistrate court at Conway always turns up more cases than the other magistrates of the county. There are no cases of great public interest pending on the dockets as having been continued from the last term; but there is a great number of cases of violation of the whiskey laws, larceny, assault and battery, and other misdemeanors, continued over from the last term and these will be called for trial along with the new cases bound over bv the magistrates since the last term. The cases continued from the last term are published in full as follows: CONTINUED CASES Town of Loris vs. C. M. Stalvey, 4 appeal.) The State vs W. Percy Hardwick.

FIDELITY CLASS ENTERTAINS On Monday, Feb. 10, the Fidelity cla.-> of the Methodist Sundav school held a meeting. This meeting was no stifT affair, hut an intermingling of social and business affairs. When they were vastly enjoying themselves by laughing, talking and jokine, the meeting was called to order by the president, and also the hostess of the afternoon, Miss Inez Stalvey. To the disappointment of everyone five members were discovered to be absent. However, this was the only cloud to darken the horizon. The plans of setting a permanent date for each meeting and a means of obtaining money for a frame for the certificate of the Fidelity class were discussed. A solution of the former was to be the Monday after the third Sunday of each month; and a solution of the latter will interest the public very much as it was to sell candies?homemade?one day out of each week, either at the Pastime Tbentre or Piatt's Pharmacy. After the completion of the business, and the writing of the minutes by the secertary, Miss Blanche Taylor. the hostess and Miss Luly Sweet ouietly left the room. Pretty soon they returned, bearing a tray of excellent hot tea with crackers, a very suitable selection for the weather. One visitor, Mr. Derrick Stalvey, graced the meeting. He furnished sorre very enjoyable music. To chime in with the pleasant afternoon a "Goodbye" song was played while the class was departing. THEY GET FINES Tom Newkirk and his wife, Mandy Newkirk, colored, and Mary Brown, also colored, were all up before the Mayor's court a few days ago charged with disorderly conduct. Tom was cleared of the charges, but was fined in the sum of $2.00 for contempt of court during the trial. Mandy Newkirk^ was fined in the sum of $15.00, arid Mary Brown got a fine of $10.00.

GROVE'S signature oo each box. 30c I NO WOMAN IN THIS WEDDING Recent entertainments put on in Conway have excited no little interest, for the reason that business men, business women, and staid men and women of no particular lines of business joined forces in producing something far above the average of functions of thjs kind. . In .all cases the proceeds have been given to the fund which is being raised for the erection of one of the largest and most complete Sunday school plarfts ever erected by any church. The fund is already assuming large proportions from all indications, and soon, by the use of other kinds of donations, the contract Will he let for the construction of the new building for the Conway Methodist church, consisting of .1 large addition and this connected un with the old Methodist church building in such a way as to make the new and completed whole look about the same as if it had been made that way at first. First among the successful entertainments was the Tom Thumb Wedding. That w.is about four weeks ago, and took place at the Pastime Theatre. It is past history and we will leave it to say something about another and more recent display of home talent in acting on the stage. This latest is "The Wedding Without a Woman," and it was carried out to Perfection at the Pastime on last Tuesday night. This iatest type of wedding was thoroughly advertised and there was one of the best crowds ever assembled at this popular movie theatre to see a play by amateurs. This play was so funny that it began to evoke laughs long before the stage was ever set. Not a single woman?or married one either?was in the whole make up as you will see directly when the cast of characters is presented. S"ch a bride, and such a bridegroom! Who ever! Shades of old Mutt and JefT! We call you to witness that here in Conw.nv you have been outdone. The bride was Miss Angelina Slim, consisting of nothing more than the near two hundred and fifty pounds of Charley Scarborough. Could there have been a more cute little bride? Let the telephone central answer. The bride groom was Mr. Josephus Tufat. It is a little secret, too good to tell until afterwards, but this party to the contract who appeared rather conspicirancnrt r\f liio Iqplr flf WRS uy x ^aovii vi mo v? . none other than E. L. Smith; and it is with pleasure that we correct a hip: mistake that took place in printing the programs where it was stated that the bridegroom had been throe times a widower, for the fact is that Mr. Smith has not been married except once. He made up in tallness for nil that he lacked in wideness, and his awkwardness was sublime from the standooint of all those who wanted a good laugh and were not disappointed. C. B. Dusenbury filled the place of the minister to tie the knot, but he is too good a teller of stories to remain long in a pulpit position. He has had his chance. Th? maids (all men of course) displayed their little peculiarities without seeming to try. Miss Vanity, A. W. Barrett, tried to see over his glasses; Miss Hytone, S. F. Gasoue, tried to be as busy with his hands as the busy corner on a court day; Miss Cutie, V. F. Piatt, started to call attention to hot drinks at the wrong time; Miss Little, A. Gasque, had fenders like a tin Lizzie, and during all this time the groomsmen, M. R. Smith and Mr. Work more, L. D. Moore, all looked as if they had been sent for and could not come. Let us hope that the blankness of their faces formed no index to the blankness and bleakness of their hearts. They wished for other company. The daintiest ring bearer was Ike Long, the man who can spin a Ford on the coldest morning we have had this winter without the nece*sitv or retarding the spark. This little girl promises to be a whopper by the time she is twenty-two. The maid of honor, Dr. McCormick. nf fUo fUmoAn rnllooro QPni TT1 h O C VJ 1 tll^ VIVIIIDVII \yv/?.x^w, ? cholera fame, was not in the least particular, as we could see, in bestowing her smiles; but we understand that this young lady is not realty a candidate for matrimony. Such a pity that the dear little flower girls forgot their parts and could only display blushes on their fair young cheeks. We promise that these young tots will develop later on. Over it all Mr. Hightower kept a careful watch while he acted a man's part, that of the best man at the wedding. He has the promise of being able at some time to attend a different kind. The remainder of the cast of characters had minor parts to play in the entertainment. ELach character showed careful training and more than the average ability on the stage. Those remaining characters were as follows: ^tTahers M ss Anxious, C. Sessions; Miss Lovely, Tom Harrelson; Miss Bashful, A. K. Goldfinch; Miss Airs, W. T.

THE HORRY HERALD, OOKWA PARKER-SMITH A marriage, beautiful in its simplicity and of interest to the many friends of the contracting parties, was that of Miss Ethel Parker and Mr. H. W. Smith, which was solemnized at the home of Dr. and Mrs. V. F. Piatt, "Pineacre." on Elm stfe^t at 3:00 o'clock on Wednesday, Feb. 14th. The impressive ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. L. Parker, cousin of the bride, assisted by Dr. J. C. Atkinson, the pastor of the bride and groom. The nuptial music was rendered by Mrs. V. F. Piatt, Lohengrin's Wedding March being played for the ertterance of the wedding party, proceeding which 4<0, Promise Me" and "Constancy" were sung by Mrs. A. K. finlHfinph "Tn n WilH 1frtv-a ' " % *? ? A 1/ I.? WW ( ? V? A?V/k)Vl TV do played softly during the ceremony. The first to enter was little Margaret Smith, niece of the groom, wearing a dainty frock of pink organdy, who carried the ring hidden in the heart of a rose. The bride entered with her maid of honor, Miss Azalee Bledsoe, of Edgefield, and was met at the improvised altar by the groom, and Mr. Clayton Gasque, who acted as best man. The maid of honor was dressed in a gown of brown crepe back satin, which was simple but elegantly fashioned with an uneven hemline. She wore a picture hat of gold lace and carried pink carnations. The bride was lovely in a tan Poiret twill coatsuit, embroidered in brown, with accessories of tan and brown. Her close-fitting hat of tan was gracefully draped with a brown veil. Her bouquet was of Bride's roses tied with tulle streamers. Mrs. Piatt entertained at an informal reception immediately following the ceremony. Assisting her in entertaining the guests were Mrs. W. L. Parker, and Mrs. F. C. Toda. Miss Johnnie Atkinson served punch. The decorations used throughout the house were lovely," Suggesting spring. In the living room, where the ceremony was performed, ferns were banked to form a background for the altar, which was tastefully entwined with ivy. Low bowls of japonicas were the cut flowers used in the living room and in the back parlor and dining room, which were thrown en suite, yellow .and whjte narcissus - J iiru.'i. i. ... I were useu. vriiite itipers were uum* ing on the mantel. Mr. Smith and'his bride left on the afternoon train for a short wedding trip and on their return will be at home at the Hotel Grace. The bride, who is a beautiful young woman of charming personality and is very popular socially; is a native of Whi>ham, G.a., having recently come to South Carolina to teach in the public schools. She is a gifted musician ard possesses a sweet soprano voice. The groom has a wide circle t'of friends. Tie is a native of this county and engr.ged in business in this city. o OBITUARY In loving memory of our devoted fntlmr A1 n n 7 r* C Qmall Jo. parted tins life Feb. 2, 1922.
