The internal revenue collections at
the Winston office last week were as
Henry Starbuck'S Wedding.

The Chester (S. CO. Bulletin gave a
beautiful description OF the marriage
Of Miss Mamie Agurs to Mr.. ii. X.
Starbuck, of Winston, in the Presby-
terian church of Chester on the 9th
inst. We make extracts as follows:
eThe first to enter were two little
flower girls, Miss Ellen Ebert, OF
Winston, and Miss Tod Mobley, of
Rock Hill. They wore cream MULE
dresses and Gainsborough hats, and
strewed flowers in front of the bridal
party. Just behind them came the
ushers, Messrs. John White, Reuben
Ferguson, A. w. Aiken and Giles
Wilson. Then came the bridesmaids
in the following order: Miss Helen
Medley of Johnston, Miss Annie
Hardin, Miss Mecca Avery of Rock
Hill, and Miss Bessie Harden. Then
the groomsmen, Mr.. Glenn Williams,
Mr.. George Brooks, Mr.. w. A. Blair,
of Winston, and Mr.. John Dunovant.
Next came the first bridesmaid, Miss
Eva Petty, of Spartanburg, with Mr..
A. H. Eller, of Winston. Mr.. Star
buck and his best man, Mr.. Henry
Shaffner. of Winston, came from the
vestry room, meeting the bride at
the altar, where the two were made
one. Last of all came the lovely
bride, the cynosure of every eye,
leaning on the arm of her fair Young
sister, and wearing one of the sweet
est, most ideal, and at the same time
richest of bridal robes. 1t consisted
of an elegant faille silk, with the front
of embossed velvet, looped here and
there with white silk cord. The long
graceful train and delirate flowing
veil made the bride as fair a picture
as one would wish to see.
CATER the ceremony was over the
happy couple and their attendants
and quite a number of invited guests
repaired to the beautiful home of the
brides parents, where splendid re-
past awaited them Delicacies of all
kinds were served, and therooms and
halls were tastefully decorated to
suit the festive occasion.
"All went merry as the marriage
bell, and the happy couple left on
the midnight train for their future
home, followed by the congratula-
tions and best wishes OF their friends.
"Mrs. Starbuck will be sadly miss
ed among us, her bright face and
winning ways making her favorite
with all who knew her. She will be a
great acquisition to Winston society,
and their gain will be Chester's loss

A Remarkable { haracter.

A Remarkable haracter.
Major VIM. Sneed, the Wilkes coun-
ty wit, died Oct. 31st. The Wilkes
boro Chronicle says of him:
"Maj. Sneed was in many respects
a wonderful man. 1t may truly be
said that Wilkes has never had nor
will ever have but one Maj. Sneed.
Maj. Sneed was very illiterate SO far
as books are concerned. He could
neither read nor write. Yet few men
of his day were better posted upon
politics and the passing and current
news of the day. He sought the best
informed people for his companions,
and his memory was SO perfect that
he remembered everything he CHANGED
to hear His whole being seemed
wrapped in politics. especially this
last election, and before he died he
expressed desire to live to see the
result of last Tuesday. In sense he
seemed to hold the success of Demo-
cracy above his chief joy.
'sHe was a perfect wit, and many
amusing incidents are related of him,
which would make an interesting
article

Walter Hester is dead.
Dead-just when lies flame WAS

Winston, WHERE his mother, brother
and sister reside. His agewas about
30 years.
When he boarded the train for
Winston Tuesday night he seemed
much depressed. He took seat In
the rear of the first-class car near
the water cooler and engaged IN con-
versation with Capt. Stage.
Shortly after the train passed ker7

NOR THE PAST THREE SEA-
j. sons we have been unable to sup
ply the wants of the merchants Of
this vicinity with Holiday Goods.
But this year we have the STOCK, -four
times larger than ever before
greater variety-in fact we can
show you anything you will find in
any toy jobbing house, and the best
part of it is that we guarantee to sell
yon Toys cheaper than any New
York importer. You will say tbs
is strange, but tits not; we will
explain. About four-fifths of the
Toys sold in this country are inn
ported, and the new Mckinley
tariff law hits them hard. AS for
an instance: Last August we bought
5-inch silver vases at $4.85 per
gross; today importers quote them
at 1918 per gross, and other goods
have advanced in proportion. Now
you see how we can undersell i'm
porters. Our entire stock of Toys
were bought in August and Sep
TENDER; we are compelled to sell
them before January 1st; we cannot
afford to carry them twelve months.
Importers can afford to hold them
for the high prices, for their trade
on this class of goods is every day
in the year.

Knoxville Daily Tribune.


A few days ago mention was made in

Jonathan Nelson, who are all members of
the National Garment Cutter Company, of
Chicago, III. 1t will be remembered that
this company has had department in this

sold their patent and taught hundreds the

work in the past and untold benefits have
come to Knoxville and East Tennessee

system of garment cutting. It has been
in the minds of the members of the Ma
tional Garment Cutting Company to estab-
list a Southern headquarters for their bust
ness equal to Chicago, which is the center
for the northwest. After casting about all
over the South for a suitable place they

featuring establishment here that will be
the second largest of the kind in the United
States, at which men and women will be

trained 10 be put into the whole South to
help introduce the system into this Immense
territory. Knoxville will thus become the
training school for the South. The compa-
nv propose to make large Investments here,
and as they have unlimited means, great
things may be confidently expected. One
of the party who has been here in the last
few days, Mr. w. II. Goldsberry, is the
manager of the manufacturing department
in Chicago.
Ii is source of pleasure to note that Mr..
]. K. Doran, the president and general
manager of the entire system in the United
States, has determined to make Knoxville
his permanent home. He will remove here
soun All of the members of the company
who have come here express themselves de-
lighted with our city, and are full of praise
over the splendid future that awaits it.
The three members who have been here
for several d-ys left on yesterdays train for
Chicago to complete arrangements, and in

Little Lord Fauntleroy.

: Ada and Arthur are too wee little
tots who alternate the leading role in
"Little Lord Fauntleroy," which will
be presented at Browns opera house
Nov. 18th. Ada is not yet nine years
old, and Arthur is her junior by two
years. Both, however, are clever and
competent children, and have played
the part for more than year. Nei-
Their of these children give evidence of
the precocity one would naturally
expect to see. They go through the
parts with intelligence and act
straight forward through the deli
cately poised and beautiful story.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
Breaks Are Large and Prices CODA
Hint to Planters.


The breaks on tire Winston ware
house floors yesterday and today
were unusually large. The quality of
he leaf was better than we have seen
IN IL long time, and prices were stiff,
especially on good working grades
One word to our farmer friends
about the condition of their tobaccO:
During October there was a great
quantity of tobacco brought to our
market, aud most of it was out of
order, being entirely too soft. This
caused them loss of many dollars
which a little care would have saved
to them. When you bring your to-
bacco to market in very soft order 1T
has to go at whatever price it will
bring. II you call it in, the chances
are that it will soon damage, and
when you put it on the floor again it
will bring. "a still smaller price: On
the other hand, if you carry it home
and dry it out it will cost you trou-
BILE and expense. You should have it
in good condition before you start to
market. When a season comes on
handle your tobacco right. See that
it is neither too wet nor too dry.
When it is in the right condition
bring it to market and you will get 81
good price for it. Ii every farmer
will profit by this advice thousands
of dollars will be put into the pockets
of the planters of this section which
they are now losing.
