Spartanburg Event
Again on the subject of weddings,
we’re much interested in one that
took place last Saturday evening at
six o’clock in the First Presbyterian
church of Spartanburg—that of Miss
Eloise Stewart McMurray and Wil
liam Rhodes Jones. Stewart and her
family lived here several years ago.
We hear the wedding was a very
beautiful one, the church decorations
and processional of the wedding par
ty being very unusual and lovely. In
vited from the city were Mr. and
Mrs. J. P. Moon and Mr. and Mrs.
Claude Sanders. Mrs. Moon assist
ed at the reception following the
wedding.
Parties Galore
One would think this is June be
cause there are so very many wed
dings and brides-elect to write
about—and parties. Some of the
nicest parties your soc. ed. has ever
had the privilege of sciibbling out
are the ones tlat have been given
and are being given for Edna John
son. Outstanding among these
was the coffee List Friday morning
given by Mrs. Forret Summer, Mrs.
O. O. Copeland, Mrs. J. Dudley
French, and Miss Evelyn Summer of
Monroe, Ga. A “coffee” is quite a
new thing to Newberrians. We found
it quite delightful, and we’re hoping
there will be lots of them from now
on. A very large number of guests
from the city and several other
places wer£ invited to the coffee at
Mrs. Summer’s country home. En
tertaining today (Thursday) for Ed
na are Mrs. Thad McCrackin and
Miss Evelyn McCrackin at their
College street home. Mr. J. Y. Mc-
Fall will be hostess at a party next
week for Edna at the home of Mrs.
R. G. Wllace. Also entertaining
next week will be Mrs. Everette
Evans. All these exciting events
will be crammed into the few re
maining days before Edna’s mar
riage to Howard Kirkegard of Lib
erty Sunday afternoon, September 2,
at her mother’s home on Boundary
street. The wedding takes place at
five o’clock and will be attended by
only relatives and intimate friends
of the couple. Arriving several
days before the wedding and attend
ing parties complimenting Edna will
be Mrs. Jens Kirkegard and daugh
ter, Miss Jennie Kirkegard, both of
Ar.sonia, Conn., mother and sister
of the grom-elect. On Friday be
fore the wedding Howard’s brother,
Henry, will arrive in the city before
staying a while with the P. D. John
sons when Howard graduated from
Clemson. The Kirkgards before
coming to America, lived in Den
mark. Edna and Howard will con
tinue to make their home in this
state.
Rare (Flower
Mrs. T. C. Pool, always so thought
ful and kind, knew some of her
friends would enjoy seeing a rare
blooming flower and invited them in
last Wednesday night to view her
two plants of night blooming Cer-
eus. Only at night will the bloom
open to show its exquisite beauty.
Inside it is all white with a center
of a perfectly formed cradle at the
head of which is a star. The bloom
stays open only a few hours. One
of Mrs. Pool’s plants had nine
blooms, the other four.
