COUNTRY CLUB BRIDGE FRIDAY EVENING The January evening bridge party at the Country Club of Newberry will be held Friday evening beginning at 8 o’clock. Hostesses are Mrs. McHardy Mower Mrs. John Goggans, and Mrs. LeRoy Anderson. MRS. CHAPMAN IS HOSTESS AT BRIDGE Mrs. Sloan Chapman entertained the Once-A-Week bridge club Satur day afternoon at her home on College street. Mrs. McHardy Mower won the guest high score award and Mrs. T. L. Hicks won the club prize. Bingo award went to Mrs. L. G. Eskridge. Just as I was getting ready to go into a “June in January paragraph” along comes March winds, April showers, and last but not least, De cember snow. So when this column gets to you, I don’t know what we will have experienced in the way of weather. This winter is bringing all kinds of surprises. However, by the slow but teure appearance of tiny 1 flowers and spring shubbery, we as- assured that spring is well on her way. The name of each month of the year brings something to my mind instantly and when thinking of the coming month—February, I immed iately think of red and white-Valen- tine. It’s a date that a great treat for us older ones as well as the kid dies. Valentine parties are always gay affairs and next month brings many such parties. The first on schedule is the one to be given by the Hospital Auxiliary Friday, February 4. The party‘will be at the home of the Auxiliary president, Mrs. W. H. Hunt. Those planning the affair are hoping that the 4th will be free of other social gatherings. So they are warning us in plenty of time not to plan anything on that date. Last year the Auxiliary entertained at a delightful St. Patrick’s Day party. You’ve probably heard little or nothing of the Newberry County Park which is being built in a section near town known as Lynches Woods. Far too little punlicity has been given this project. But th e few that do know about it are very enthusiastic about the set-up. And I count myself as one of those, for if the progress on the park continues as it has since cards. HOSPITAL AUXILIARY HAS BUSINESS MEETING The Hospital Auxiliary met Thurs day afternoon with Mrs. Walter H. Hunt, president of the Auxiliary. A large number of members were pre sent. The members discussed the several cases they sponsor at the local hos pital. The group decided to again sponsor the Easter Seal Sale for Crippled children. Continuing the business session, it was decided by the group to have a Valentine party at the home of Mrs. Hunt, on Friday, February 4. MISS MARY HELEN KIBLER MARRIES MR. TIMMONS Miss Mary Helen Kibler and Tal mage Dewitt Timmons were mar ried Saturday, January 22, by the bride’s pastor, the Rev. J. B. Har mon, Mrs. Timmons is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Kibler of the city. She is a graduate of the Newberry high school, is a licensed cosmetolo gist, and holds a position with the City Beauty Shop. Mr. Timmons attended the city school and now works with the Lib erty Life Insurance company. After a wedding trip to Florida, Mr. and Mrs. Timmons will be at home at 1806 Rivers street. A salad course was served after | first begun Monday a week ago, and if the proposed plans are carried out, the park will be a wonderful asset to our county, and I do mean wonder ful. Those of you who have never hiked through Lypches Woods have missed a real treat. So great is the variety of trees, flowers, moss, and fern in this place, you can imagine you are in almost any section of the United States. Mr. Forrester, of Florida, a real expert in hib line, has told T. E. Davis that every type of fernery found on the North America continent is in Lynches Woods! But you are evidently more interested in knowing how you can use the park and when you will have a chance to see all these wondprs of nature. The work now being carried on in this section is the cutting of an 18 foot auto drive which will surround the park. And I can tell you from the section that has already been cut, it will be a beautiful drive with its lazy S curves, picturesque bridges, hills with beautiful wild flowers and trees to one side, and a small stream banked with fern and moss on the other side. The drive will be four or five miles long and will be for use only in dry weather. Then the park will contain, in the sections not reached by th e drive, small paths to be used for cycling, hiking, horse back riding, and exploring. It will be a real site for exploration as the park covers 257 acres. Present plans of the place show a Bo(y Scout and Girl Scout site, parking places for autos, picnic grounds and every thing complete for a day’s outing. Of course, there is considerable work to be done before the project can ever be as now planned, but if the work continues as fast as has, the park will be ready for hikers and picnicers by early summer and the drive will be completed by midsum mer. 1901; the certificate of marriage signed and given in 1908; and the record of the certificate of marriage together with the affidavit of the two witnesses to the marriage were recorded in 1937.V Don’t ask me why or wherefore, because I don’t know of any explanation. It just seems to again prove the statement that truth is stranger than fiction. Seniors of both Newberry high and Newberry college are busy just at this season getting pictures made for annuals. We find the college seniors planning to put out a very attractive edition this year.

RICHARD BAKER HOSTESS AT CARD DANCE Mrs. Richard Baker entertained at a card dance Friday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 for students of her ball room dancing classes who have just completed their course. The dance was held in the ball room of Mrs. Baker’s studio, which was decorated with potted plants. Music was furnished by a local or chestra. The main event of the evening was the grand march led by Miss Frances Wallace and Elbert Dickert and Miss Dorothy Ross and Walter Wallace. Punch and cookies were served throughout the evening by Mrs. R. G. Wallace and Mrs. S. C. Paysin ger. Also assisting Mrs. Baker in entertaining the dancers and their parents who were honor guests were Mrs. Harry Vigodsky, Mrs. Tom Fel lers, and Mrs. Sloan Chapman. “There are many little courtesies that make life more worth the living. I am anxious that our students study together the code of good manners that automatically stamps one as a lady or a gentleman,” said President James C. Kinard on a recent occa sion when stating that he intended to begin a class in manners for the stu dents in Newberry who wish to en roll in such a class. Heretofore the course has been offered only to Seniors. And the more I read Dr. Kinard’s statement, the more vigor ously I’m inclined to say “Amen.” Aren’t w e all? Having learned from a person who often searches through the records in the court hoUot-—records of deeds mortg.-ges of real estate, chatte" mortgages, charters, and miscellan- |dus records, a “bekeve it cr not item, I am going to pass on to you And I believe you will find it is in teresting as T did. It is n minister’s certificate r.f the marriage of a white counle in 1901. The minister signed and dated the marriage cer tificate in 1908, seven vears later! Then in 1937. 36 years after the mar riage, the full affidavit of two wit nesses at the marriage was recorded on the same page below the marriage certificte. Thus, you see, the mar riage ceremony was performed in CHATTER—Mrs. Aubrey Harley has finally come back to the city and we are glad to see heir back after many, many months away. She is now located in her attractive new home on Johnstone street. The Theo Albrechts have an upstairs apartment with the Harleys. —According to Chief Bartley, New berry is a very geed town. We go to the chief to find what’s been going on in the city the criminal way, and hoping to pet a big story, but he ".miles calmly and each time tells the reporter that nothing has been hap pening. Everybody here is good and he’s glad. Well, I guess we should be happy about th e whole thing. —An out-of-towner saying to your soc. Ed—“what, no President’s ball in Newberry. 1 thought every town was having some kind of a ball. What’s the matter with you people anyway?” I’m still wondering. —Mrs. Richard Baker had a lovely dance for her ball room students Friday evening. This group has just completed a dancing course of about five months. And they all “looked darling” in their dresses according to one spectator. —It won’t be long now. One of Newberry’s to-be spring brides will announce her engagement about the first of February, she tells me. —Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Evans ce lebrated their 23rd wedding anniver sary Thursday night at the Country Club and about 80 guests were pre sent for the dance and dinner to wish them “many happy returns.” —The spasmodic snow we had Tuesday—the first of the year— created quite a stir. Junior high children passing the office were screaming with delight. —The bridge parties of the Country Club of Newberry get under way again Friday evening. The party begins at 8 o’clock and will be the only January party, since the hostesses were rather late beginning. YARDLEY'S BATH DUSHNG POWDER WITH PUFF *1.35 A FRAGRANT Beauty Mist!
