Griffin-Mann
Norris, Nov. 14.--The Baptist churi
at Norris, South Carolina, was the
scene of a beautiful wedding, Wednes
day afternoon, November 14th, at fiv<
o'clock, when Miss Nina Griffin became
the bride of Alfred Cleo Mann, of
Greenville. Elaborate and artistic de.
corations in white and green made ar
attractive setting. The candle lighted
altar which encircled the wedding party
was banked with handsome ferns. Pink
and white carnations were netted in the
arch of candles. A large coterie of
friends witnessed the impressive cere
mony amid these beautiful decorations,
which transformed the church into a
place of floral beauty suitable for the
event.
As the crowd assembled a delightful
musical program was rendered by Miss
Louise Rhodes of Atlanta. Then came
the tulle bearers, Prof. W. C. Mann
and Ralph Borroughs down one aisle
and Daniel and (laude Mann down the
other, stretching the white tulle through
which the bridal party passed. Just
before the ceremony Mrs. Furman Nor
man Norris sang sweetly, "Oh Promise
Me" and "The Sweetest Story Ever
Told." Miss Bethel Mann of Columbia
College playing softly the accrnpani
ment. As the last notes died away and
a shadow of silence crept over the sol
omnized audience, th strains of a Men
delsohn's wedding march, played by
Miss Bethel Mann, announced the ap
proach of the wedding party. The first
to enter were the ushers, ('arence Mann,
Ralph Borroughs, f)aniel Mann, Sear
gent Griffin and (laude Mann. The
maid of honor, Miss Edna Earle, fol
lowed beautifully attired in evening
dress of lavender, gently caressing a
bouquet of purple chrysanthemums.
The bride, preceded by the maid of
honor, came in on the arm ut' her father,
.Joel R. Griffin, and was met by the
groom and his best man, )r. I). II.
Martin, of Unio-i, under the arch just
in front of the altar and there were
made one by the Rev. .1. L. Willis of
Norris. "Meditation" was softly played
throughout the impressive ceremony.
The party left the church by Mendel
sohn's wedding march. The bride was
dressed in a midnight blue traveling
suit, with a showering bouquet of bride',
roses and lillies of the valley. The girl

NOTICE.
At a recent meeting of the Pick
ens County Medical Society, the
matter of expenses of living and
carrying on our professional work
was discussed. The decision was
that in order to meet the greatly in
creased expenses we will be forced
to raise our fees. Taking effect Jan.
1st, there will be an advance in
most of our fees, but we have tried
to be very reasonable and hope they
iwill be satisfactory to everybody.
At this meeting we also discussed
certain rules in some of our schools.
It was the unanimous opinion of the
Society that said rules are against
the good health of our children and
should be changed.
