Marriage of Miss Beulah Cloer
to Mr. Julian H. Morgan.
The Advertiser has been interest
ed in this marriage for several rea

Cloer has been one of our valued cor
resdondents for some time since the
family of Mr. Cloer of the Meeting
Street section moved into our county
from Lenoir, N. C.
This is an incident like the shoe
maker's family never having shoes,
and the newspaper man's family nev
er getting a write up. A* Miss Cloer
was our correspondent, when her
marriage took place, there was no
one left "to tell the tale," and so we.
had to find it all out by hearsay.
Mr. Morgan is a son of our friend,
Mrs. Julia Morgan, and the marriage
took place at Johnston early in
March, the ceremony being perform
ed by Rev. W. S. Brooke.
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan will make
their home at the Kinnaird place
near Meeting Street.
Mr. M. G. Cloer and family have
removed to their former home in
North Carolina. We are glad to have
Mrs. Morgan remain in Edgefield
permanently as a member of one of
our best and most honored families.

Company for the non-delivery of a
death telegram sent from Saluda. A
verdict of $1,000 was rendered in fa
vor of Mrs. Bledsoe and $200 in fa
vor of Mr.. Bledsoe. The defendants
were represented by Mr. J. Wm.
Thurmond, S. M.. Smith and S.McG.
Simkins and the defendant company
by Tompkins and Wells and W. S. |
Nelson of Columbia. A motion was
made by the defendant's counsel up
on the ground that it is an inter-state
corporation.
The next case taken up was the suit
for $15,000 damages brought by Mr.
Walter S. Strom against the Southern
railroad for injuries sustained when
a train struck and wrecked the auto
mobile in which he was traveling at
.the crossing near the home of Mr. J.
F. Bettis. The plaintiff is represented
by Graham, Timmerman and Calli
son of Lexington and the defendant
by Mr. N. G. Evans and Dr. George
B. Cromer of Newberry. Considerable
interest is being manifested in this
case. A considerable number of wit
nesses are being examined on both
sides. i
She States It Mildly.
While suffering with a severe at
tack of the grip and threatened with
pneumonia, Mrs. Annie H. Cooley,
of Middlefield, Conn., began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
was very much benefitted by its use.
The pains in the chest soon disappear
ed, the cough became loose, expecto
ration easy and in a short time she
was as well as ever. Mrs. Cooley says
she cannot speak too highly in praise
of this remedy.

Statement From Mr. Reese.
Dear Mr Editor:
Recently I had the misfortune to be
robbed while coming from Johnston
to Edgefield and had taken from me
one hundred and twenty-eight dol
lars; one hundred and fourteen dol
lars of which belonged to the state.
Though I regret to state such a
thing, it has been rumored that I
was not held up, and evidently some
of my enemies are responsible for
such report. I hope the public will
wait and see just exactly the state of
affairs before they allow themselves
to form an opinion. I have been liv
ing in Edgefield thirty-odd years and
my reputation for truth and honesty
has never been attacked.
Very respectfully,
J. W. REESE,*
? ' Game Wardem
Ransom-Turner.
On March 2nd, 1921, Miss Ruby
Ransom and Mr. Fred Turner were
quietly married by Rev. W. P. Brooke
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John R.
Bryan, only a few friends witnessing
the occasion. These are progressive
young people and have a host of
friends who wish for them a life
crowded with our Lord's choicest'
blessings, and an ever deepening
sense of His presence and power.
A FRIEND.
