While one not versed in banking, ex cept in giving notes, cannot tell all that there Is to be known about a bank by its statement, still one can tell whether conditions look healthy or not. We believe that a istudy of Laurens county banks will show that they are more than ordinarily sound and that they are in a strong tposi tion to carry on the work they are called on to (1o. All of them, no doubt, have had trying situations to face but the conservatism that has charac terized the town has stood them in good stead during the past year.

Johnson on Tuesday, .1tiy i was a scene of gay festivity and mirth, when ,the relatives and friend,; of Mrs. Julia Lanford Johnson gave a surpriso ;picnic in ho)or of the 76th birthday anniversary of their much beloved "Aunt Julia". After greetings, hearty congratula tions and an hour or two of pleasant conversation, the 'merry party re paired to a table beautifully and taste fully arranged under a magnificent old oak tree which ,was literally groaning under a wealth and bounty of -good things to eat. 'When the party was seated Capt. J. W. ;Lanford made a few well chos en remarks, announcing a very ap propriate paper which was read by Mrs. J. L. Higgins in behalf of the Bible Class of which Aunt Julia is a faithful member. The paper was swell written and suitable to the oc casion, telling dear- "Aunt Julia" of the iplace of honor and high esteem she holds in the hearts of her church and Sunday School associates and re calling her. many words of encourage ment and cheer, the countless deeds of love and kindness she has shown to others along her pathway of life. Af ter this reading a poem composed by Mrs. J. W. . 8ohnson, wa. beautifull,y delivered by Ir. It. Yates Waldrep, a recent graduate of Wofford College. This poem added much merriment and fun to the occasion, qgiving just the touch of humor needed to restore the smiles to faces saddened by the pathos of Mrs. illiggins' address. Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Johnson, of Arcadia, Mrs. J. W. Johnson, Mrs. r. S. Higgins, Mrs. C. 'D. Cox, Mrs. C. L. Waldrep and Mrs. Alice -Moore served as a committee to wait oil the table. Then kodaks of the crowd, repre sentiug the 3rd and 4th generation, were made by Miss .Nannie Mae -Lan ford. They were honored with the presence of Mrs. J. T. littlejohn, of Scranton, whose husband is a leading pastor of the Baptist denomination. Late in the afternoon big waiters of delicious ice cream refreshed the guests for their homeward journey. After bidding all adieu they left wish ing many happy returns of such de lightful days. Mrs. W. D. Patterson entertained her Sunday School class Thui'sday af ternoon with a tplcnic at Yarborouigh's Mill, which was also a delightful oc casion. Misses Eleanor Drummond and Lil lie Mae Cox, Messrs. Paul lHunfley, ilarry Drummond, Joe Murry Cox and Jack 'Hliggins enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. J. S. liggins last Wednesday.

Corley be came the happy bride of Mr. James 'Clairborne Macdonald of Spartanburg. The ceremony was performed at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon by the bride's pastor, Rev. W. 'D. Ratchford, in the presence of a few immediate relatives and ut"ie home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Florence Corley, who for a num ber of years has resided here with her sister, Mrs. Nannie Williams. Though this marriage has been coulidently ex Pected for several months by Miss Sara's closest friends, still it was kept a profound secret from the general pu'blic and ,was a surprise to most people. In her kindly devotions and loving care for her afflicted mother and oth er members of the family the bride is seldom surpassed, while her reserved but friendly disposition and her con genial and exemplary life in school and society has won for her many warm friends. We regret to lose her from Cross ilill but extend her all good wishes in her new and happy re lations. The groom is a young man of good business qualities, the son of ..\Mr. Alexander .\Macdonald of illackstock, S.
