Here Miss Ploy Jones served delightful punch. Each guest was given a tiny bag of rice, to which was attached a card bearing the lines: “The weather man predicts a shower, He Bays ’tie due within an hour; 'Twill give the bride a great surprise, So don’t tell her—she’ll get wise.” Cards were also distributed and all 'wrote for the bride a recipe and a wish, which were combined into a booklet with artistic covers hand painted by the talented hostesses. I the mldlt of much gaiety and mirth a Hallowe’en witch appeared very mysteriously be fore the bride-to-be and asking to see her palm read from It a most enviable future and in a few well chosen words Instructed her to follow a white ribbon which she placed In her hand. As Miss Wooten followed the witch she was: bountifully showered with rice. The doors leading to the dining room were opened, revealing a scene of unusual loveliness. The color scheme of yellow and white was most affectively carried out and autumn leaves were interspers ed with candies which shed a soft light on the room. White tulle, entwined with fern, was draped from the chande lier iq the corners of the table, where the old lace centerpiece, over yellow, was partly covered by a mirror, on which was a vase of exquisite chrys anthemums with fern and a miniature bride and groom eurrouuded by euplds. 1 rhere was a feast of soul and a flow of wit. The hostesses served a veritable feast of good things, chicken salad, beaten biscuit, pickles, cheese straws, ' sandwiches and hot coffee. 1 iQ6u camu the real stumer. Above the table and opened was a yellow and white parasol, daintily decorated with sprays of flowers. The hostesses ad vanced to the bride-elect and giving der one of the ribbons hanging from ihe parasol Invited her to pull. As she lid this she was fairly rained upon with nany lovely and acceptable drifts of ihina, silver, linen, bride’s book, etc. Almost immediately after the bride lad opened her la*t package the big ^rprlse of the evening came when kbout twelve young men entered with be prospective groom, Mr. Karl York, ind again showered the young couple vlth many useful kitchen utensils. Miss Wooten, dressed In rose silk vlth gold trimmings, was never pret ler than on this occasion. She is one f Cameron's most attractive young romen, who for the ua?t few years has eld a responsible position with the i anford Real Estate, Loan and insur i ace Company of this place.

The Sheriff and Hi» Deputies Still After A posse of officers composed of Sher iff Kosser, Deputy Sheriff Groce, Po lice Officer White and Mr. John Dal rymple, of Jonesboro, “went nosing around”in the Buckhorn section last Friday morning and captured a prac tically new copper still of 75 gallons capacity between two high bluffs on the river bank some little distance above the dam of the Carolina Power and Light plant. The blockadtr could not have found a better place to con ceal his outfit from public view, but In some way these sleuths of the iaw | were “made wise'1 as to Its locatbD. i A^Vrun" had not been made at this place, but the officers poured out 150 gallons of beer that was about In con dition to “run.” Mo ODe was at the still at the time the officers made the ra'd. It seems that the blockader had been crossing In a boat from the Chat ham side of the river to reach the still, This was done to hide hie tracks. The officers loaded the still un a boat and br ught In up the river to Avents Ferry where it was placed on a car and brought to the court house and placed In jail. On Saturday night Deputies Groce and McBryde and several others made i raid on the email Island in the Cape Fear river near McKoy’s Quarter and japtured a blockade still—a gasoline irum—of 52 gallons capacity. The still lad been in operation that day, but no >ne was present at the time the officers nade the raid. They poured out 150 ralloos of beer. As It would have been liffleult to have gotten the still off of he Island, they shot it full of holes and ' tnrew 11 id me river. The same officers captured a copper still of 40 gallons capacity on the Jesse Byrd place, near Lemon Springs, on Saturday afternoon. The blockader had been making grape brandy and the still was still smoking. The officers brought in the still, cap and “worm/ the blockader was not be found. This makes 54 stills captured by Sheriff Rosser and hie deputies since he became sheriff, two more than the goal which he set for the year, one a week. By staying “on the job" the sheriff and his deputies have succeed ed In destroying many of the strong holds of the blockaders, bootleggers and blind tigers in this county. While liquor is still made In the county, it ii not as plentiful as those who drink it would like to see It. The road forces in Lee county and this section have been busy since the rain the first of the week dragging the ‘oads and putting them in shape. A orce began dragging the court house •oad the first thing Monday morning rhis road is traveled more than any ither road In the county and during be long dry spell It got in bad shape, 1 >ut it was impossible to make any last ng improvements till It rained. Fill ip the holes and broken places In * he road with dry material and the t utomoblles and other vehicles would nock it out and leave the road in as 1 ad shape as before. If the Sanford onesboro link of the Capitol Highway i not to be hard-surfaced any time soon i sould be Improved by a heavy top jrface of clay and gravel. The mate lal that has been put on most of thli jad will not hold up in bad wether.
