Leaving Abbeville by the cars in com.
pany with the officiating Clergyman on
| this most interesting occasion. the Rev.
w. r.. Capers, Mr.. j. f. G.. DuPre, Mas
ter Julius DuPre, and Miss a. H., we ar

| two o'clock in the afternoon, where we
were met by members Of the family and
conducted to theireommodious and COM
Portable dwelling, distant only quarter
of mile. AS night approached the
guests began to assemble, to witness the
marriage ceremony, and to extend to
the happy people their congratulations
and good wishes, and by dark many of
the best people of the vicinity had ar
rived; while Abbcville, Hodges Depot,
Due West, Donallsvlle, Belton, Will
liamston, and other places, were we'll
represented.
| Among others present were Mr.. Hugh
Barmore, son of Mrs. Salie Barmore,
our hostess, who had that morning mar
ricd Miss Jennie Clinkscalcs, of Will
liamston, and had come down with his
bride to participate in the enjoyment of
the evening. .....
At the appointed hour the bridal party
appeared in the parlor where, surround
ed by friends and relatives, Mr.. Ca

After the happy couple had received
the congratulations, every one proceed
cd to enjoy himself socially among
friends and acquaintances, while excel
lent music and song contributed to the
evenings enjoyment. When supper was
announced, the gentlemen conducted
the ladies to the dining room, where al
partoOk of the excellent supper of sub
stantials and delicacies, which were
tastefully and artistically arranged, anc
were equally pleasing to the sight and
to the taste.
This we think is an event in the fam
ily to be noted-a son and q daughter
married in one day-the son, with a no
ble bearing and proper endowment o
the desirable qualities of the head and
heart, marries one of the handsomest
.younr ladies of Williamson, and the
daughter, who is rs beautiful in person
as she is lovely in character, marries {
most excellent and worthy young gen
tlenlan of ncghboring town. .
At the close of the evenings Ell
tertainmcnt, when friends were leav
ing for their respective homes, we had
the pleasure of meeting an old friend ol
our boyhood in the person of Mr. John
Hodges. He has been married severa
wears to most estimable lady, and they
now live near Greenville church, the
| first place at which we recollect to have
heard the gospel preached. Since we first
knew the place many of those who com
posed this congregation of wOrshippers
have gone to their reward, and theii
places are now filled by Others. Tho
cemetery has been enlarged, and the re-
mains of many of the friends Of oul
earlier years rest within it's precincts
it is within this city Of the dead whert
lies q revcrcd and beloved relative
the first of the household to receive tho
| summons.
Accepting Mr.. Hodges kind invitation
Mr.. Capers and oursclf stopped with
him for the remainder of the night
He has all the evidences Of prosperity
and thrift about him, and the cordial
manner of himself and his household
made the visit very pleasant indeed.
