After a successful two week revival at Brown Memorial, there were all told 33 accessions to the church, a number of these by letter, the remainder by experience. Rev. Reese Griffin, Pastor of the Methodist Church is arranging a special service at his church. At this time there will be raised in the church the National Service flag and a special dedicatory services will be rendered. All the parents of the soldier boys are urged to attend along with the public at large. Judge A. L. Hatcher will address the program with "Why we are in the war," and Editor C. D. Roundtree will deliver "War Saving Stamps and our duty as Patriots."
The local camp Woodmen of the World will give a public celebration at Mayo Hill schoolhouse. A fruit cake supper will be served. The commander, C. D. Roundtree will give an address on Woodcraft as it is and what it means.
It is not but a small per cent of the married contingent who live happily together for 50 years and enjoy life and peace and prosperity for all this time. But the exception rather than the rule is that of Uncle Henry G. Wheeler and his wife of Kite, who Tuesday were given a big day in celebration of their fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.
Uncle Henry, as he is now familiarly called by all his acquaintances, and his good wife, were married long before many now were born and this day they were rejoicing in the pleasures of 50 years together, with their children and grand children.
He served in the War Between The States and so did his good wife, who, while he was away fighting the battles of the South, was in Augusta making shells in the arsenal there, a shinning example of true patriotism. He has resided near where he was born all his life and the entire neighborhood was proud to turn out on this occasion.
To the union have been born 13 children, only 3 of whom are now living, viz, Messrs. Perry and Gordon Wheeler and Mrs. Maude Tapley. Mr. B. Y. Wheeler is the only living brother. Mrs. Wheeler was Miss Dudley Perry before marriage and she has 2 brothers and 1 sister living. They were married by Uncle Billy Norris.
On Sunday afternoon near Union Hill Miss Mable Jordan wed Mr. Terry Raines. She was a daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Ed Jordan.
