Mrs. Minnie Winn visited her
brother, Mr. John Jordan, of Lex
ington, several days last week. He
nas been quite ill, but is improving
now. • /
The Hallowe’en party and Mrs.
Morgan’s musical was well attend
ed at Plum Branch and enjoyed by
quite a number from here.
The Home Coming Day at Mc
Cormick brought one of the largest
crowds to that town in some time.
One could hardly wallfc the streets
were so crowded. Brought to mind
a circus. The parade was the most
interesting feature of the day. The
street parade of colonial days
brought to mind grandmother’s
girlhood days, horseback riding,
alone and in pairs, cars frofn olA
to new models, and all the wagons
and floats were well arranged and
carried out well the days of long
ago.
The wagon arranged by several
Rehoboth ladies, to represent a
moving party, one lady knitting,
one smoking a pipe, carding bats,
dressed in colonial dress; behind
■the wagon followed gentlemen with
guns and dogs, and the gentle old
cow followed. This won 1 second
place. The speeches were good, the
barbecue dinner was delicious and
bountiful. The community house
is a beautiful log structure, fine
workmanship.
The curio room held the audience
spellbound. I had no idea McCor
mick County had so well preserved
so many valuable relics of a hun
dred years agq. A homespun wed
ding dress -was interesting and
wonderfully preserved. A suitcase
containing pine bark carving don»
by a young man in McQormick
County was very nicely done.
This building will mean much im
the town of McCormick.
Miss Moline Winn is at home for
a few days’ visit.
Mrs. J. P. Talbert was in Green
wood several days with her tw»
youngest children, Dora and Alvin,
for tonsil operation which wa$ a
success.
Mrs. W. H. Parks and Miss Mag

week with Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Free
land.
Mrs. Fannie Roberson of nem
Plum Branch is nearly 91 an*
able to get about and go in and
out of the house alone. Her activ

is also a great reader.
