SOU7 Griffin-Mann Norris, Nov. 14.--The Baptist churi at Norris, South Carolina, was the scene of a beautiful wedding, Wednes day afternoon, November 14th, at fiv< o'clock, when Miss Nina Griffin became the bride of Alfred Cleo Mann, of Greenville. Elaborate and artistic de. corations in white and green made ar attractive setting. The candle lighted altar which encircled the wedding party was banked with handsome ferns. Pink and white carnations were netted in the arch of candles. A large coterie of friends witnessed the impressive cere mony amid these beautiful decorations, which transformed the church into a place of floral beauty suitable for the event. As the crowd assembled a delightful musical program was rendered by Miss Louise Rhodes of Atlanta. Then came the tulle bearers, Prof. W. C. Mann and Ralph Borroughs down one aisle and Daniel and (laude Mann down the other, stretching the white tulle through which the bridal party passed. Just before the ceremony Mrs. Furman Nor man Norris sang sweetly, "Oh Promise Me" and "The Sweetest Story Ever Told." Miss Bethel Mann of Columbia College playing softly the accrnpani ment. As the last notes died away and a shadow of silence crept over the sol omnized audience, th strains of a Men delsohn's wedding march, played by Miss Bethel Mann, announced the ap proach of the wedding party. The first to enter were the ushers, ('arence Mann, Ralph Borroughs, f)aniel Mann, Sear gent Griffin and (laude Mann. The maid of honor, Miss Edna Earle, fol lowed beautifully attired in evening dress of lavender, gently caressing a bouquet of purple chrysanthemums. The bride, preceded by the maid of honor, came in on the arm ut' her father, .Joel R. Griffin, and was met by the groom and his best man, )r. I). II. Martin, of Unio-i, under the arch just in front of the altar and there were made one by the Rev. .1. L. Willis of Norris. "Meditation" was softly played throughout the impressive ceremony.

At a recent meeting of the Pick ens County Medical Society, the matter of expenses of living and carrying on our professional work was discussed. The decision was that in order to meet the greatly in creased expenses we will be forced to raise our fees. Taking effect Jan. 1st, there will be an advance in most of our fees, but we have tried to be very reasonable and hope they iwill be satisfactory to everybody. At this meeting we also discussed certain rules in some of our schools. It was the unanimous opinion of the Society that said rules are against the good health of our children and should be changed. .J. L. BOLT, Secretary.

I am a subscriber to The Sentnel and all of us Pickens county boys enjoy it very much. It Is about worn out by the time we ill get through reading it. I have Known some of them to walk three miles each way just to borrow The Sentinel. I am writing this to show he people back there how much us )oys appreciate news from dear old Pickens. People of Pickens county. f you have a son, brother or friend n the army, don't fail to write him mn give him all the cheer you caml. for the days are few until he will be rcimg the German guns in France. fighting, suffering and dying that ~ou and the world may be freed :rom the menace of German militar sm. I was in Pickens not long since on )ass and as 1 was crossing the trceet an oh( gentleman stopped me 111(1 gave me twenty-five cents. That mpressed me more than anything hat has come my way since I vol lnteered. It was not that I wanted he money; it was the spirit of the :iver. le said, ''1 am too old to fight t. I'll do all I can at home.'' If all he rest had the spirit of that gen leman it would make a great differ mee in the spirit of our army. If we ooldiers knew that every man, wo nan and child was hacking us to the inish, it would not take us long to inish those Hfuns once we had a -hance at them. We are being taught the European nethod of warfare, trench digging find the use of hand grenades and the new French bayonet drill. We inve a Y. M. C.

Lhorpe boasts of the best football Lean in the South. A number of people questioned me as to what us soldiers had to eat. It seems that some of the boys are reating the impression that soldiers Ire only half fed, but that is a seri ous mistake. We get good, whole some food and plenty of it. Of course we don't get chocolate son dies and lemon drops, but they are trying to make men and soldiers out of us, not pasty-faced excuses.
