lady lives in near Pembroke is
new and looks like a picture in
its setting among the pines. Her
husband is a prominent business
and political figure of Bryan
County, his businesses being scat
tered throughout Georgia and into
several other states. This lady’s
parents are very interested in
flowers and their home near their
daughter is practically a show
place with its many different
kinds of flowers. The fortunate
lady for this week has acquired a
lovely young daughter-in-law
through the surprise marriage of
her son who is a student at a

Prowl Fri. Night
The goblins will get you if you
don’t watch out — not to mention
the ghosts and witches and other
creatures of legerdemaine and
