After cards, the honoree was asked _ _ _ .
to go into the dinning room where ried. Miss Jones and Miss Timmei-
The glorious month of October is
almost gone. It seems only yesterday
when I mentioned that the word,
October, brings magical things to
mind. And the month has brought
magical things. Outstanding is the
lovely landscape. While motoring to
a nearby city through a country road
Sunday I was astounded at the chang
ing trees and could only gaze in ad
miration. There’s just no words to
describe them . . . Might I suggest
you ride through a country road of
the county at your very first leisure
moment . . .
Lock your doors, disconnect your
doorbells, run your car into the gar
age, and prepare for the worst . . .
The reason of course is Hallowe’en ..
Witches and cats will again roam
the city this weekend . . . And haye
you noticed that mischevious look in
Junior’s eye? He’s planning the
yearly event. Besides going out “to
paint the town red” with his own
gang—the sub-debs all over the city
are planning ghost parties for Friday
and Saturday evenings . . . The most
prominent of these will be the party
at the Country Club of Newberry
Friday evening, beginning at 8:30, for
all the younger members of the club.
Dancing will be enjoyed and decora
tions, refreshments, and favors will
be of the Hallowe’en motif . . .
And here’s a pleasing piece of news
. . Mrs. J. Y. McFall, Grenville,
will arrive in the city tomorrow to
spend the winter here with her sister,
Mrs. John M. Kinard, Calhoun street
Mrs. McFall’s home may be in
Greenville, but she’s still proclaimed
a Newberrian far and wide . . . Her
presence will mean an important add
ition to Newberry society this win
ter . . .
Saturday is a big date in Newberry
society, for two of the city’s most
popular fall bride-elects will be mar-
Kenneth Campbell of Massachusetts
and Philadelphia will take place at
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
W. B. Timmerman on Boundary street
Saturday morning. Immediate re
latives of the couple and intimate
j friends will be the only ones attend
ing the affair which promises to be
beautiful in its simplicity . . .
Following the ceremony, the couple
will leave for Philadelphia where
they will make their home. . .
Saturday at noon, the Associated
Reformed Presbyterian church on
Main street will be the scene of the
wedding of Miss Marion Jones and
Hope B. Wilson . . . Smilax, candles,
and white dahlias will decorate the
church carrying out the bridal white
and green colors . . . Miss Frances
Jones will be maid of honor, the
bride-elect’s only attendent and serv
ing as best man will be William Lyles,
Columbia . . . Dr. J. W. Carson, pas
tor of the A. R. P. church will pre
form the ceremony and music will be
furnished by Miss Mazie Dominick
at the organ and Prof. Harry Feld,
violinist . . . Approximately 160
guests have been invited to the wedd
ing . . . Following the ceremony,
Miss Frances Jones is to entertain the
bridal party and out-of-town guests
at a 1 o’clock luncheon at her home
on Calhoun street. The couple leave
just after the luncheon for a week’s
wedding trip to “parts unknown” . .
. . Upon their return to the city,
they will take an apartment with Mrs.
W. O. Miller on Johnstone street . . .
Among the numerous out-of-town
guests to be present for the Jones-
Wilson wedding will be Mrs. T. A.
Scarborough, Columbia; Mr. and Mrs.
Vernon Wheeler, Norfolk, Virginia;
Mrs. Jack Strudell, Columbia; Mr.
and Mrs. H. M. Boozer, Atlanta, Ga.;
Mrs. Rosa Copeland and Mrs. Ferdi-
Florist.”
“No doubt some of our readers
have marveled at the amount of space
the Southern Florist has devoted to
the Philadelphia convention of the
Florists Telegraph Delivery Associa
tion, beginning in the issue of Sept.
24, continuing with the main account
in last week’s issue, and concluding
this week with much that for one
reason or onother could not be car
ried a week ago.
The explanation is more than or
dinarily energetic and wide-awake
correspondent, Hal Kohn, FTD mem
ber at Newberry, S. C.r and district
representative of this state. He sent
more than we had any thought of,
but it semed that none could be left
out. We do not know how good a
florist he is—he advertises himself
as Newberr’s “next best”-but if he
is as good a florist as a reporter he
is bound to be good. We would say
he should be well started on that
“first million” that is said to be the
hardest. He handles books, and
gifts, as well as flowers.
“Although South Carolina is one
of the smaller states in population,
Kohn has led the country for several
months running, in the number of new
FTD members written up. He was
one of the oiganizers of his state
florists association, and was its first
president, serving three terms, we
beleive. He was a pinch-hitter as
secretary of the Southeastern for a
time.
“Kohn is one of those rare charact
ers whose face is constantly lighted
up with a smile, a very becoming
smile. Well, we suppose he loses his
temper once in a while, and then per
haps the smile turns to a frown; but
we have never witnessed that phen
omenon. He is by way of being a
humorist, and advertises in original
ways that provoke c smile. A folksy
