The weather is playing tricks on us these days—one day rainy, one day cloudy, one day windy, one day fair, one day postively beautiful, but not a single day of snow. Even those of us who do not crave a snowy season, welcome just one or two days of soft whiteness. It looks as tho’ we’re go ing to have to appeal to John Henry Baxter tot see what he can do about the situation. Walking to town the other morning, I saw a tangled mass of yellow bells swaying bravely in the wind. It seemed as tho’ these golden petal little fiowers are trying their best to cheer us up and keep the scenery from looking so bare, un til spring when everything will burst into bloom. Just about this time last year, I remember your society editor had some difficulty in deter mining the proper name of these yel low bells. When trying to decide whether I should write it Christmas vine, yellow bells, yellow jasmine, mist of spring, January jasmine, or what-not, Mrs. J. H. Summer and Mrs. 0. O. Copeland came to the rescue telling me that the appropriate name was “jasmine nudi-florum. ” Of wide interest here are the an- nuoncements of the wedding plans of Miss Essie Claire Caughman, Colum bia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. Perry Caughman, and Roy D. Whita ker of this city and Columbia. The wedding takes place at 8 o’clock 'in the evening of Feburary 10 in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Dr. H. A. McCullough, pastor of St. Paul’s and the Rev. Paul Whitaker, Sumter, uncle of the bridegroom-elect, will officiate. Miss Caughman will be given in marriage by her father. Her sister, Mrs. Edward B. Martin will be matron of honor and her maid of honor, another sister, Miss Doris Caughman. Serving as bridesmaids will be Miss Phillis Mitchell, Lexing ton; Miss Janie Lou Cothran, of Bel ton and Silverstreet; Miss Pearl Brown and Miss Peggy Berry, bath of Columbia.. .Mr. Whitaker’s best man will be his twin brother, Ralph Whitaker of the city. Senior ushers are T. Keith Legare and J. S. Dun bar Sr. of Columbia. Ushers groomsmen will be Otis Whitaker of the city; G. P. Caughimn Jr. and James M. Dunbar, both of Columbia; E. M. Lane, of this c|ty, cousin of Mr. Whitaker.. .A/ small reception for relatives, out-of-town guests, and intimate friends of the couple will be given after the ceremony at the Caughman home on Park street... Mr. Whitaker is connected with the Dunbar Funeral Home of Columbia. In the list of Newberry’s annual social gatherings comes the Presi dent’s Ball the last of this month. Bu|t up to this time, we’ve heard ab solutely nothing of such a ball to be held here. We 'have quite a few loyal Democrats around here, so I’ve been told, who want to join in the cele bration of Roosevelt’s birthday. So whoever is responsible here for plan ning the Ball, we hope they are not going to overlook it. For some rea son, Newberry falls behind in many things that other cities this size are getting or doing and if we don’t step up, we may be left out the next time a new map is drawn up. An outstanding affair in our so called “list of Newberry’s annual so cial gatherings” is the dance given by Mrs. Richard Baker each January for members of her ball room danc ing classes. This year, the dance will top all previous ones, as Mrs. Baker has enrolled the largest class ever. The dance will be held at the studio on lower Boyce street Friday evening. Parents of the dancers are special in vited guests. Perusing through exchanges, we find two local youths making good at colleges. ..

The nominees were presented to (the student body of Queens after which each student voted on 24 girls by secret ballot... At Clemson college, Cadet Robert Lominack was recently honored by being accepted into Clemson’s honor writer’s fraternity. Gamma Alpha Mu, by Octavus Roy Cohen, its spom- son. Cohen, the noted fiction writer, judges the two manuscriptts submit ted by those desiring entrance in the frat. Mr. Lominack’s manuscripts fell into the journalism class. CHATTER—Pearl Hamm stopping in office for hurried visit. She’s just back on the job after a severe case of flu, but according to Pearl, it’s nice ■to be sick sometimes, or rather it’s convenient to be confined to one’s bed.

What’s all this about Newberry go ing to have another park -with a bridal path and all the trimmings ? ... Mrs. William Childs passed the office the other day waving and smiling. Too bad she had to move from here— everyone liked her so very much and adored her brilliant little daughter, Clara Annie... Brooksie Hutchinson, the capable secretary of T. L. Hicks, seems to be bubbling over with gaity all the time. We could term Brook sie, a real optimist. .Bill Smith had a big dinner for his employees Thurs day evening at the Newberry Hotel and I heard that everyone had a “swellegant” time.

To what extent if any is the grow ing of upland rice still practiced in South Carolina above Columbia ? Some years ago certain residents of the Capital City procured occasional supplies of “brown” rice from Jalapa in Newberry county.

Newsdom, the weekly magazine for newspapers, has the happy fac ulty of saying a great deal in a few words. We quote from it: The department of justice is in vestigating a newsprint monop oly. Canada controls the monop oly. The South can produce news print from pines at a cheaper price and break the monopoly. “The state and agriculture de partments have turned thumbs down on the idea. They say it will hurt Canada. “What about helping the South?” That is what we say. What about helping the South? Maybe our Southern representatives in Cong ress can do something about it. They ought to try at least. FOR SALE, Milk cows and one small work mare. See man at place. 3tp C. M.
