THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FOUR FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1941 C? * i. society no ^ By DORI: Holiday Notice! FRIDAY, 1ULY FOURTH, being a LEGAL HOLIDAY, This Bank Will Not Be Open For Business. . South Carolina National Bank Price of Cotton Advances $2 Per Bale New York, June 23.—Wall street greeted the news of the Russo-Ger man conflict with a momentary wave of buying fervor which for a time caused sharp advances in the prices of stocks, bonds and some raw mat erials. But, by the time the final gong rang on trading, much of the en thusiasm, which had given the stock market its most active open ing in more than a year, had evap orated. Final prices for leading stocks were up a few cents to $2 or so, off more than $1 from the morning’s peaks,. Wall Street had generally inter preted the embroilment of Germany and the Soviet Union as offering a respite from Britain, but as the day progressed many financial men re ported doubts as to how long the Bolshevik state could offer effective opposition to the Nazi war machine. At New Orleans for the first time in almost 11 years the price of cot ton futures was put above the 15- cent level. Persistent buying, much of its ap parently for speculative account, sent the market up over $2 a bale in an extremely active session. LUTHERAN PASTORAL ASSN.

SUMMER-SCHULL Miss Martha Nuel Summer became the bride of Clifford Glenwood Schull on Thursday evening, June 19, at the home of her parents on Main street. The wedding was performed by -the Rev. Edward Fulenwider, former pastor of the bride, who performed her baptismal ceremony, and the Rev. E. Bryan Keisler, present pastor of the bride. The ring ceremony of the Lutheran church was used. The pathway of the wedding party down the long stairs was bordered with Southern smilax and bunches of pink gladioli, and lighted by seven- branched candelabra. White satin ribbons marked the way from the stairs to the parlor where the impro vised altar stood within a heart- shaped trellis of white, entwined with green foliage amid a bower of Queen Anne’s Lace, daisies and southern smilax. There was a prayer-bench attached to the altar, containing the love letters of the bride and groom, on which they kneeled during the minister’s prayer and benediction. Preceeding the ceremony, Miss Ruth Wingard of Greenwood, pianist, played several familiar nuptial melo dies, and Miss Agnes M^iyes, cousin of the bride, sang “O, Perfect Love.” Miss Wingard was dressed in a blue gown of lace and marquisette ana wore a corsage of roses and gladioli; Miss Mayes was gowned in peach col ored net, with a corsage of roses and delphinium. During the musical pre lude, the usher groomsmen stretched the white floor-covering for the bri dal path and lighted the candles. The mother of the bride entered the wedding room escorted by her father-in-law, Mr. C. E. Summer. She was attired in lace dress of ashes of roses color, wearing a corsage of carnations and roses. The mother of the groom wore a gown of pink jer sey, and her flowers were roses and delphinium. The wedding party proceeded down the stairs as the strains of the fam iliar Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin was heard. The bridesmaids, all dressed in blue gowns of marquisette with tight bodices and bouffant skirts trimmed in frills, and carrying arm bouquets of pink roses, carnations and delphinium tied with blue ribbon, were Misses Lavira Shedd of Wash ington, D.

Miss Barbara Brown, maid of hon or, of Newport News, Va., came next wearing a gown of blue marquisette and lace over taffeta with puffed sleeves. Her arm bouquet was of pink and orchid gladioli and tied with pink ribbon. The bridegroom’s best man was Craig M. Crenshaw of Ninety-Six. William Wilsoncroft Jr., nephew of the groom, carried the ring in the heart of a lily. The bride, who was escorted to the altar by her father, was exquisitely gowned in a wedding dress of point lace and net over taffeta, featuring a fitted bodice, long sleeves, and sweet heart neckline, and a bouffant skirt ending in a train. Her veil of lace trimmed bridal illusion fell over her face, and extended gracefully to her fingetrips. It was fastened by a coronet of lace and orange blossoms. She carried an old-fashioned bouquet of gladioli and carnations tied with a lace covered ribbon and showered with dypsophila. Her jewelry was a sapphire bracelet, gift of the groom, and an old gold locket, worn by her maternal great-grandmother at her wedding.
