Jf C^OHJgMlCE ^RMPIEU) It will be a small affair, simple and beautiful, yet the wedding of Edna Johnson and Howard Kirkegard you to have your feet clean before you go in”, was a pleasant pastime. Just next door is the William Hunter which takes place Saturday after- ( house which is two apartments. One noon at five o’clock at the home of! is finished and will be occupied Mrs. Duncan Johnson, Sr., on Boun- Thursday by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mc- dary street is of paramount interest, j Crackin who moved from the Brooks Only intimate friends and near re-' apartment on Glenn street. The latives of the couple will be in at-1 Hunters expect to take over their tendance. Sentiment plays a large part before so very long. And then part in this weekend marriage. The date is the 35th wedding anniversary of Kirk’s parents. Edna will be mar ried in her mother’s lovely old wed ding dress of heavy brocaded satin trimmed in exquisite lace and net. The wedding march will be played by John Townsend of Anderson, cousin of the bride-elect, who also played the wedding march for Edna’s moth er. What rich memories the event will bring to a few of the onlookers! The wedding music will be furnished by Mrs. Ferdinand Jacobs of Clinton at the piano; Mr. Townsend, pianist and baritone; and Elbert Dickert, violinist. Edna will be attended by her only sister, Mary, as maid-of- honor, and her uncle, James W. Johnson, will give her in marriage. Attending Kirk as best man will be his brother, Henry Kirkegard, of Connecticut. And this week parties continue for the “much-honored” bride-elect. Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. J. Y. McFall gave a party at the home of Mrs R. G. Wallace. Mrs. Everette Evans entertained Thursday at noon at a luncheon for Edna.

Immed iately after the wedding Saturday afternoon a reception will be held. Edna, with a car of friends, motor ed to Liberty Wednesday spending the day making ready her and Kirk’s apartment. The sad note in the wedding is that Edna will have to make her home at Liberty instead of Newberry. The bridegroom-elect is connected with the American Agricul tural Chemical company. For Bride From the subject of brides-elect to brides we hear that Janie Lou Coth ran—pardon, Mrs. Ralph Whitaxer— is being complimented with several social affairs. Since Janie was in the city only a day or two before her marriage in Belton her friends here had to postpone parties until after her marriage. Entertaining for her last Wednesday was Mrs. Louis Aull who gave such a lovely party. Mon day afternoon Mrs. Ed McCrackin was hostess at her apartment on Glenn street at a surprise pantry shower when about 25 friends of the hostess and honoree from Silverstreet were attending. Both Mrs. McCrack in and Mrs, Whitaker are Silver- street teachers. The afternoon was spent playing bridal contests with prizes going to Miss Sara Folk and Mrs. Mattie Lou Blackmon, Tables were placed in rooms gaily decorated with early fall flowers and a lovely white tulle bow with tube roses marked the bride’s place in the room. After games the hostess gave Mrs. Whitaker a note containing a poem which directed her to the dining room. Much surprised was the hon ored guest when she discovered many useful gifts arranged in pantry dis play. Refreshments served late in the afternoon consisted of block ice cream, macaroons and mints. Assist ing in' serving were Mrs. Ernest Brooka, Mrs. J. Edwin Stokes, and Miss Evelyn McCrackin. Another in teresting party for Janie is being planned by Mrs. Arthur Welling. Mr. and Mrs. Whitaker are now re siding in the Hipp house on Nance street. Surpiising Event To most of us, the announcement of the wedding of Rebecca Petit and James Abrams Iwas a complete sur prise. Of course there were a very few that knew or suspected. There always are. But the majority of us were just baffled at the news. The marriage took ^lace in Eutawville on May 31. Becky is the daughter of M.-s. B. T. Vaughn and the late G. A. Petit. She) is such an attractive blond. James graduated from New berry college in ’37 and is principal of the Stoney Hill grammar school. His school opens tomorrow (Friday). The couple moved to the community Monday of thi 3 week, having an ap artment with J Ir. and Mrs. Raymond Hunter. On Walnut Street The popdlal ion of Walnut street will show a dei ided increase this week as three brhnd new houses are being occupied. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. French and lovely litt le daughters, Dot and Gay, moved fuesday from Boun dary to their new home on Walnut and it’s su£h a beautiful home.
