An INTERESTING DEMONSTRATION
have we witnessed nuptial ceremony
of more impressiveness and greater mo-
raj sublimity than that which occurred
in the Methodist Church of this place
OH the morning Of the Sd at s o'clock,
A. NJ. We refer to the marriage OF
the Rev. James A. Duncan, ID. d., Pres
idcnt of Randolph Macon College, to
Miss Bette Wade, eldest daughter OF
the Rev. VIM. A. Wade, the esteemed
Pastor of the Methodist congregation OF
Charlestown. There being no especial
invitations sent out, the occasion drew
together large company of interested
witnesses. The young lady who has
been a resident Of our town tor year
and n half has won universal admlra-
ton and most attached friends because
of her sweetness of disposition and love
illness of character. The Rev. gentle
man has visited among us for two years
past, preaching and lecturing to the
great delight and instruction OF our
community, and is known throughout
the South as divine of superior culture
and attainments. 1t was union OF
rare female beauty, grace and character
and manly dignity and brilliant talents,
seasoned by matured experience. The
bridal dress and couture were rich but
not gaudy, very becoming the hand
some brunette they adorned-whilst the
groom, donned i'll betting suit OF
black, showed himself the worthy suitor
of her he had won. The appearance OF
the officiating minister, the father of the
bride, in the chancel quite at the hour,
announced the bridal party and soon the
happy pair attended by his brother and
her mother, stood before the man Of
God, to pledge their faith and love Ell
ther to other. The scene just then was
highly scenic-the assembly rising look
cd and listened with intensity-a slight
nervous tremor gave effect to the minis
ter's voice as he uttered the prescribed
service with the ring attached-the
clear answer 81 will which made them
man and wife-and now bowed side by
side while the prayer blessing was Of
fered with the laying on OF hands-the
interest of the moment was heightened
by its stiffness, fitting prelude to its
close. A return to the parsonage,a half
hour spent in social converse and con-
graduation with friends, and then away
on tour North of sightseeing and
blissful travel. May their cup of joy
ever he full.-Spirif.
Hon. Geo. G. MDuffy, distinguish
ed statesman of South Carolina was
once riding 10y farm house in that
State when spied woman milking a
cow and little boy holding the ears OF
the calf. He bowed to the lady and
