Municipal, Public -and School Children Cele brate the Last Day of Fair - With ideal weather and the tem perature slightly warmer for \)0 biggest day of Fair week all inter est Friday morning was centered ojQ the Pageant of Progress Parade for which plans and preparations have been in the making the past _several weeks. ? ? -Early Friday morning people be gan arriving from various sur rounding towns and the country to view the big event of the week. As the; forenoon wore on local resi dents began swarming down town and collecting with the others i along both sides of Main street un til by eleven o'clock it looked like circus day in Sumter. ^The. parade, in charge of a com mittee composed of S. CTQuinn, Henry P. Moses. John M. Barwick, J. J. Riley. Robert T. Brown, Rob ert L. McLeod and. Oscar 4 White, started promptly on schedule time down Main street which by this time was packed closely on each side with eager watchers. The fire department leading the procession was followed* by a decorated truch containing the Scotch Highlanders band which furnished music for thef event. Then followed the business floats, many Of them beautifully decorat ed and showing much pains and time had been spent in preparing: 'them: The -float of Schwartz Bros, was especially artistic and elaborately decorated causing much -comment from the onlookers as well as the floats of the Cherry Company and the .Carolina Pro ducts Co.. both of these latter carrying out the idea of the pro ducts represented in their decora tions, the Cherry Company using furniture and rugs and" the Caro liiiar Products Co., making use of 'wheat and farm products in a most novel and effective manner. ; The decorated car representing the First National Bank was beau tifully decorated and received ap ? piause wherever seen. .Several others deserve great credit for their skill in decora tion! The float of the Evans Welding Co.. carried out the idea of the industry iepresented showing a miniature welding plant with the welders at work. y fj^a, the third division of privately decorated, cars were many more showing, both beautiful and artistic in. design. Then followed thV mo tor driven school floats in which troy tots dressed in white and-dif ferent uniforms made a most pleasing appearance. The young ladies representing St. Joseph's Academy made a most conspicuous and delightful picture occupying several cars in the parade. " The T. M. C. A. furnished a lit tle burlesque well carried out with a horse drawn Ford of 1914 model, containing boys made up in black face. The six units headed by the car-* nival band represented the various rural schools of the county, each ?cho?l and division carrying ban ners emblematic of their school an the different features represent ed, followed by the city schools of jfomter, this unit containing hun dreds qf little marehers who were' greete -dwith great enth78T9v$_ greeted with great enthusiasm by the crowds as -they passed and ?howing that their time and effort in ^preparing fpr their part of the program hajTbeen well spent. The parade as a whole was most de cidedly a success from every stand point, bigger and better than ever before, and.nothing but praise was heard on all sides for the partici pants who so cheerfully and, unsel fishly gave, of*their time, money and effort io make it so. 1||B Thefbanner. offered as first prize to 'the rural schools was 'awarded to the Bethel school. Second hon* or went to the Wedgefteld school, and third to the Graham school -The prizes awarded in the" busi ness^ floats division were: First, Schwartz Bros., second, Carolina Products Co., third, the Cherry Co. Among the privately decorated cars Miss Hannah Kristianson was awarded first. Up to time of going to press The Item was unable to find out who tiie second and third were awarded to. ???? A Birthday.

Bad Check Artist if Town. j Mr. Joseph M..

Sometime after cashing ' the check Mr. Chandler made ail j investigation and learned that Dr. j Courtney had no brother of thai I name and knew nothing of th? I stranger and the check.

In the eastern part ? of South Carolina the sentiment of linking up the various towns and counties continues to grow. The Pee*Dee Advocate, of Bennettsville, is urg ing the immediate construction of a bridge across the Pee Dee river at Society Hill and proposes that Marlboro county, in order to hasten .this enterprise, bear the lion's share of the expense: The Pee Dee Advocate says: "Some of our leading^citizens are again discussing the question of building a bridge across Pee Dee river, connecting Marlboro and Darlington counties. Bonds for this purpose were authorized by the legislature in 1920, but Darlington never did agree to the proposition and it has not materialized. "At that time an effort was made to have the bridge built at Hunt's Bluff. At that point the swamp is all on the Darlington side of the rivCr. and Darlington was not willing to pay for building (or half of the building) and the subse quent upkeep of the road across j the swamp. It was doubtful if Marlboro county funds could bei used for the permanent up-keep of a road in Darlington county, i "By building the bridge at So-! ciety Hill the swamp will be all on the Marlboro side, and if Marlboro is willing to build and keep up the road through the swamp we be lieve Darlington will pay half of the cost of the bridge. ! "We believe it will pay Marlboro | j county to do this. If the bonds al {ready authorized are not sufficient! j we believe it will pay Bennettsville j and Red Hill townships, through I which the road would pass, to issue | bonds for the* balance. "A good road and bridge to So-; ciety Hill would bring through the j center of Marlboro, most of the J travel between the north and the! south w-hich now goes over the Washington and Atlanta highway via Pihehurst and Rockingham. By coming from Fayettevillc by Mc Coll, Bennettsville and Society Hill i the route would be greatly short ened. A bridge at Society Hill would jalso furnish an outlet for all this I section to Columbia and "rill the j western and southern part of the j state. j "Federal funds could probably I be secured to pay half the cost of ithe road and bridge. Property own I ers would, no doubt, pay a consid | erable part of the balance. I "We would not be in favor ?f issuing any bonds without a vote j of the people" in the territory af l fected. If there is enough interest in the matter to get up a reasona ble petition for an election, the j people interested should be allowed ' to pass on the proposition." EARTHQUAKE IN KENTUCKY Severe Shake in Same Region as Great New Madrid Earth quake of Century Ago St. Louis, Nov. 27.?Considerable property damage was caused by an earthquake in eastern Missouri, Southern Illinois, Western Indiana and Northeastern Kentuck last night, according to reports received here today. NASH-DUNN Brilliant Wedding Service at the Home of Mrs. J. H. Clif ton Was Witnessed by a Host of Friends One of the most brilliant events of the season was a marriage held at the residence of Mrs. J. H. Clif ton, on the corner of Broad street and Salem avenue, at four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when the house was filled with the many friends of the families of the bride and groom, to witness the marriage ceremony of Miss Ann 'Nash, the second "daughter of Mrs. Anne L. Nash, to Dr. James Ralph Dunn of Camden. The entire lower floor of this beautiful and spacious residence was profusely and artistically dec orated for the occasion, the color scheme in the ceremony and din-r ing rooms being green and white,j the large dining table being orna mented with a large silver basket filled with white chrysanthemums, while a shower of white tulle fell gracefully from the chandelier above. The living room and hall were decorated with green and yel- j low, and the opening of the large folding doors between these rooms gave plenty of room for the large crowd who had assembled, while a large bank of ferns and chrysan themums made a beautiful back ground for the scene of youthful beauty and loveliness which came before it, while myriads of candles among the decorations, and sup ported by silver and crystal candle sticks shed a mellow glow over the scene transforming it into an elfin bower in the realms of fairyland. Mrs. R. C. Williams, an old friend of the bride, presided at the ipiano, and rendered piano selec tions, among which were Libes Trauner, a love song, and when the cords of . Lohengren's Wedding March -were struck, all eyes were, turned to the broad staircase, down which the bridal party slowly descended. The first to appear was the maid of honor, in the person of Miss Bess Nash, a sister of the bride, gowned in peach bloom georgette and carried an arm bou quet of pink Russell roses. The ring bearer, little Miss Ann Nash, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Fred Nash of St. Paul, N. C, was daint ily robed in white canton crepe, and carried the emblem of mutual arid unending love and devotion j in the center of a big white rose, j The bride was accompanied by! her brother. Dr. Fred Nash, and J was beautifully gowned .in white] satin and lace with full court train, j and wore a veil-held in place by a wreath of orange . blossoms. She j carried a bouquet of bride's roses I showered with white narcissus. The.j groom entered by a side door, ''kef, companied by his only brother, D?\ j Clarence D?nn. The mother of*the bride was, gowned in satin, black crepe trim- 1 med -in lace, and the mother of the groom appeared in a suit of, black lace. The beautiful and impressive ring service of the Presbyterian church, of which the bride was a member, was used by her pastor, Drl J. P. Marion, and immediately after the bride and groom had re ceived the congratulations and fe licitations of their many friends who gathered about them, a dainty salad course with coffee was served to the guests, and while this very delightful part of the program was engaging their attention, the bride and groom shlipped away for their honeymoon, which will be spent in a tour through many of the North ern cities, probably going as far North as New York city, making the trip by auto, after which they will return to Camden, where they will make their future home. Those who assisted on this, occa sion were Mrs. C. G. Rowland, Mrs. John Green, Mrs. Iceland Moore. Mrs. Leon Weinberg, Mrs. W. C. Boyle, Mrs. S. L. Roddy, Mrs. Douglas Plowden, Mrs. Pendleton, and the Misses Elizabeth Crowson and Margaret Dick.
