WOOD-LEE
A marriage of interest to many
friends here and in Covington was
that of Miss Ina Wood, of the latter
city, to Mr. Cornelius Lee, now of
Hartwell, but formerly of Covington.
The wedding occurred on Satur
day, March 1, 1924, but was kept
a secret by the happy couple until a
few days ago, when Mr. Lee went to
Covington after his wife.
Both are from prominent families,
the bride being a daughter of Mr.
G. W. Wood, of Covington.
Mr. Lee is a progressive young
business man, representing the Delco
Lighting Co., with headquarters in
Hartwell, where he has won the res
pect of all with whom he has come in
contact.
At present Mr. and Mrs. Lee are
making their home at The Oaks with
Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Estes.
We welome them, and extend our
heartiest congratulations.

Presiding Elder of Elberton
District Wins Literary Frize
(Elberton Star.)
Presiding Elder Horace Smith won
the first prize offered by the Atan
ta Georgian in a literary contest that
closed yesterday. There were thous
ands of entrants, and the fact that
i his production was given first place
was a distinct compliment to this
profound thinker and fluent and
powerful speaker. Os course, like
many Methodist ministers, he may
be able to put the $75.00 cash prize
to good use.
THEATRE HERE MAY 1- 2
When “St. Elmo shows at the
Star Theatre on Thursday and Fri
day the people of Hartwell will see
the picturization of a novel known
I to three generations, which was also
popular on the speaking stage. The
Fox star, John Gilbert, portrays a
strongly dramatic role in his latest
offering. Bessie Love plays oppo
site, forming a rare combination of
screen favorites.

Some reformers are ushered into
office with a lot of noise- and later
they are ushered out with a lot more.
Charming Array of Talent
Will Appear at 8:30 P. M.
A rare treat is in store for Hart
well people next Monday night. May
sth, when the Anderson (S. C.) Col
lege Glee Club, composed of about
25 beautiful young ladies from this
institution appear at the auditorium
here.
Special songs, dances, instrumen
tal music and a wide range of num
bers will be given by the young
ladies, the program being under the
direction of Miss Isaphine M. Rich
ey. who has appeared herself in New
York and other large cities.
The Clemson College paper com
mented on their appearance there
recently, in part, as follows:
“Every number showed talent, as
well as much practice; in fact, the
entire program was given with an
effect which usually comes only with
experienced professional singers.
The ensemble work was especially
good, credit for which is largely due
the Director, Miss Richey, who led
all the ensemble numbers.
“The program was of the best
that has ever been given before a
Clemson audience,” continued the
college paper.
A large house will doubtless greet
the array of beauty and talent from
our neighboring city next Monday
night.
