flosser Johnson,
Last Sunday afternoon Miss
Fannie Bell Rosser and Mr. L. P.
Johnson were married by Rev. J.
A. Jackson at his home near
Bethany.
Miss Rosser is the daughter of
Mr. W. M. Rosser, of Tussahaw,
and a most interesting and attrac
tive young woman, who has many
friends.
Mr. Johnson, the son of Mr.
John S. Johnson, of The Sixth
district, is a worthy young farmer
and is receiving the congratula
tions of his friends.
They will make their home in
Beersheba district next year.
21,050 Pounds of “Pig.*’
On Rev. J. A. Jackson’s farm in
Bethany district there were killed
last week nine pigs —pigs’ broth
er, Mr. Jackson calls them
weighing 21,050 pounds.
Mr. Olin Cathey had three
that weighed 706 pounds; Mr. P.
J. Cannon two weighing 440
pounds. This looks like living.
It just makes you hungry to think
about all the nice sausage, back
bone, spareribs, and hog-head
cheese.
A Family Dining.
A pleasant event of Sunday was
the dinner at which Mr. and Mrs.
John H. Turner were hosts. It
was in the nature of a fami'y re
union, and a delightful day was
had; a bountiful and most delic
ious dinner was served.
Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Turner, of McMullen’s;
Mr. and Mrs. Wade Turner and
little Frances, Mrs. Jennie Dutfey
and Sadie Duffey, Mrs. Annie
Whitehead and Mollie and Sarah
Whitehead.
