Marriage of Interest Here Of interest in McCormick is the marriage of Miss Florence Kibler, daufrhter cf Mrs. Arthur Kibler of Newberry and the late Hon. Arthur Kibler, to James H. Talbert of Batesburg. which was solemnized at 6 o’clock Friday evening, August 28, at the home of the bride. The ’oride is a B. A. graduate of Co- 1 umbia college, c’ass of ’29 and a member of the Sigma Omega Sig ma sorority. The groom is a son of Mrs. Sallie M. Talbert of near McCormick and the late Joseph M. Talbert. Following is an account of the marriage which appeared in the Newberry Herald and News, Sep tember 1: “The marriage of Miss Florence Kibler, daughter of Mrs. Arthur Kibler atrd the late Hon. Arthur Kibler and James H. Talbert of Batesburg was solemnized at the home of the bride Friday afternoon, August 28. at 6 o’clock. “The ceremony was performed by the Rev.

She was charming in a brown coat suit with hat and accessories to match. She wore a shoulder corsage of pink rosebuds j baby’s breath. She is a B. A. grad- 1 uate of Columbia college, class of ’29, and a member of Sigma Omega ■ Sigma sorority. • “The bridegroom is a graduate of Clemson college. For the past three years he has been the popu- > lar and efficient teacher of agri-1 culture at Batesburg-Leesviile high school. “After a few days’ trip in the mountains the young couple will be at home at Leesville.” , x TROY NEWS ITEMS The Rev. and Mrs. J.

Thev have done excellent —h^oi vr-4vv < kn'O''*' th oan’t draw the whole work by thems^ve 0 A smile each day helps keep the frowns away. Just :rv this plan and see how well it will work for teachers and pupils. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Dendy, their two sons. Thomas and Sullivan, al so Mr. Dendy’s father, Mr. J. N. Dendy, have returned from a pleasant visit with relatives at Greenwood and Greenville. S. C. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Youngblood, their pretty little granddaughter. Miss Helen Youngblood, of Green wood, enioyed a day here last week with their loved ones. Misses Bes sie and Leiah Youngblood, as also Mr. Manly Youngblood. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Crawford had as their close loved ones, her mo ther. Mrs. Lizzie White, of Green wood, her granddaughters. Misses Helen and Lahunta White, of New York, also the first named son and daughter. Robert T., of the U. S. Navy and Miss Annie Laurie of the Nurses Hospital, Asheville, N. C., during the past week. We are sorry to write of the sick ness of our kind neighbor. Mrs. W. L. Burnside, but feel under the care of our ever able and oleasant phv- sician. Dr. C. H. Workman, she will soon be out again. The new X-ray installed in his office at McCormick is of valued assistance, i. e„ he can use same and not leave his of fice. McCormick claims our good doctor, but nevertheless he is “our Trojan, good resident and friend,” and in a “jiffy” he can be here at the bedside of the sick with a pleasant smile, which sometimes is the better part of medicine. After a stay of some weeks with her son. Rev. Percy Hughes and family, at Greenville, Mrs. Miriam Hughes is cordially seen home again. We are so sorrv to write Mrs. Sam Beauford suffered a dislocated hio from a fall on a cantaloune rind in her home here, and do hope this g^od friend will soon be m^de herself again. Mr. L. R. Talbert has in con nection with his mercantile busi ness and market a supply of nice hash each Saturday, ready at the noon hour. Miss Sarah Godbold, one of South Carolina’s most capable teachers, was here f^om her home near Savannah, Ga.. to visit with her brother, Mr. W. E. Godbold and familv. Of interest to her many friends to know Miss Sallie Russell is able to be up some, after months of sickness, and all hone Miss Sallie will soon be around her home and feeling well once more. Pleasant visitors with their aunt, Mrs. Lizzie Horne. Sr., last week were her nieces, the Misses Hast ing of Fnworth. S. C. Miss Helen Harris returned to Jacksonville, N. C.. to assume her third term of school duties there, which alone bespeaks for her the “well done.” What’s all these political bubbles of worry and wrangle about cot ton or no cotton, or the decrease in acreage? We think when a man owns his land or even rents same, he has the perfect right to olant as he pleases, or as he deems best. When politics puts his feet on the farmer he had better go slow, for certainly they are the br>ckbcn n of the world, and that’s where the politicians get their best support. While we are not one, we are with the forme’-, first, last and all the time, for what we eat. wear and the money we have. We are glad to write Mr. J. C. Kennedy is fast recovering from an oneration for anoendicits in the Greenwood hospital. All should visit with him on his return home, for he is one of the very few of church officials to visit with the sick in and near Troy. Miss Maude Dowtin is another one of our honor roll students to return to school work at Winthrop. To our ever kind friends Mrs. Zelma Gable and family we do thank very much for specials in our home. They are the kind we have few of this day and time. We read with interest and pride as well of the Messrs. Dowtin Bro thers deserved compliments paid them recently in their various suc cesses in their many vocations of work. They are the “worthwhile” and McCormick and Greenwood county sisters have a pride in claiming them as their own. Miss Mabel Lyon, one of McCor mick High School’s honor gradu ates, will enter Lander College next Monday. They will find in Mabel a bright student, and we wish for her all continued success in her college work. Our Grenco Ginnery is putting the staple on the market as fast as it comes in, and Mr. G. L. Dove is swift as a “weaver’s shuttle” in giving a sample the fleeciest and best. Now our summer meetings, and all were the best, have closed with a “trio” of the best pastors, viz: Rev. Mr. Orr, Rev. W. S. Henry and Rev. J. H. Buzhardt, to co-operate. We think their helpers in the meet ings, Rev. B. H. Tucker of Pacolet and Rev. W. R. Echols of Char lotte, N. C., Mr. Orr doing his own preaching and was splendid. We have come to the close and now a rest for them which we do hope will give them renewed strength and health for the coming year. After a glad visit with grand parents Workman, at Chappells, Miss Nan Workman has returned home and her dear face is alwaVs seen with pleasure by old and young. . „ m T’ OPERA HOUSE AB3EV.I.LE. !». t.
