Boyette, Bride-Of-The-Month Bride-of-the-Month Warsaw Girl Miss Iris Garcia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guido Garcia of Havana, Cuba, Is the Duplin Times ? Progress Sentinel Bride-of-the-month, and is now youth director of the First Bap tist church of Warsaw. Miss Garcia became the bride of James A. Boyette, of War saw , on Sunday, June 14. Mrs. Boyette was born and lived until 1960 in Cuba, where her father Is a banker and her mother is a teacher of music in the public schools of Havana. She has a ten-year-old Brother, Guido, and two sisters living In Cuba. Her youngest sister, Ruby Is a music teacher In Ha vana and Is married to an English teacher. The older sister, Ena, was a Baptist mis sionary for two years and has married a Baptist missionary since iris came to this country. She adhered to the Catholic faith, the predominate religion of Cuba, until, as a result of Cuban missionary work, she became a Baptist several years ago. Rev. Hovle T. Allred, pastor of the Film Grove Bap tist Church of Gaston la. went to Cuba Five years ago. Mrs. Boyette became acquainted with Mr. Allred while he was in Cuba and he invited her to stay with his folks when she came to the United states. Mrs. Boyette made applicat ion four years ago to work as a summer missionary in the United States and was accepted along with some 600 other boys and girls in 1960. Her first summer was spent in a Girls Auxiliary Can?) in Florida. When she arrived in the Uni ted States the only English wor ds she knew were "Hot Dog." It is unusual for the Baptist Home Mission Board to accept one from a foreign country for this summer work, but Mrs. Boyette is an unusual young lady. She had planned to come to the States to study church music, but since the Girls Aux iliary had brought her from Cuba to Florida and when int ernal troubles arose in Cuba over Castro, and relations be tween this country and Cuba were broken, she was unable to return and applied each Sum mer to work with the Board.

Brewer had 118, Stansbury 17 and Burleson 8 in the May pri mary.
