FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1939 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE Society and CLUB NOTES OJIT CHAT ♦ ^RMFIEU) So soon shopping days ’til Christ mas are being counted and the re maining days contain two Thanks givings. In this state we’re taking over the new date, the 23rd. Other states plan their celebration on the 30th. By another year the matter will probably be settled. This chang ing dates of holidays throws lots of people into confusion, especially cal endar makers and football coaches. (Clinton ^Marriage A wedding taking place last Thurs day in Clinton of much interest here was that of Frances Hamm and J. D. Butler. The ceremony was per formed by the Rev. Mayer at the Lutheran parsonage in Clinton in the presence of a few friends and rela tives of the couple. Frances was for several years a popular and efficient nurse at the county hospital.
