Marear-Hali Nnntiai1.

The social event of the season was
the marriage to-day of Miss Mary Bew
ley Hall to Mr.. William Bell Megear, at
the home of the brides parents on
upper Main St. Both families of the
contracting parties are prominent in
the history of our town, and the young
people themselves have been social
leaders for several years. The two
lower reception rooms were beauti-
fully decorated. The mantels were
banked with PIants-holly and bride
and Marechal Neil roses. The chan
deliers were trimmed with ivy from
which were suspended lunches of
holly with wide white ribbon and the
pictures and corners otherwise filled
with holly, palms and pOtted plants
The entrance hall was conspicuous,
having the staircase wound with ropes
of ivy tied with white ribbon and a cor.
ner was converted into a verilable
lovers retreat with a divan surrounded
! by tall palms, over the whole of which
the red shade of a piano lamp cast the
sOftest Of lights.
In an upper chamber were displayed
the many and handsome gifts. A din
ing table of polished oak, antique, was
filled with cut glass and solid silver
articles. In addition, were two silver
tea services, onyx and brass tables
many pieces of China-ROyal Worces
ter, BOnne, DOultOn, Austrian, llavi
land &c. One of the handsOmest pict
uTes received was an oil painting of 1
scene on the Delaware, finely executed
and presented by the sister of th
groom.
At exactly half past one, the bride
beautifully attired in ivory fditie al
train, high neck and long sleeves, wit
tulle veil, caught with orange blossom
and a diamond pin, the gift of th
groom, entered on the arm of the grOoI
who was dressed in morning costume

The Choice Of q Homo.

Anxiety About Peach Buds.

During the past week there has been
very considerable anxiety about the
peach buds, viz: the relative portion
of them alive. Until last week, when
some farmers down the State began to
examine their trees and reported in
many cases three quarters of them
dead, there was a general feeling of
security because there had been no
weather cold enough to kill the buds,
neither has there been any warm
enough to cause them to swell. The
belief is that if the buds are black
inside and hence without vitality, it is
doubtless because the trees were too
overloaded with fruit last summer and
thus exhausted, to properly set the
! buds.

seven year old orchard near BrenfOrd,
tenanted by Jas. K. Orrell, max es

Fha Deep Hold of Superstition.

We give on our first page an account
of IA man being killed under the i'm
preston that he was a conjurOr aud
practiced WitGhcraft. Superstition ad-
vances very slowly before civilization.
There is large germ if it remaining
in the country in both the white and
black population, but it hasn't the
hold that prevailed a generation or
two back. Fifty and sixty years ago
the belief in witches, ghosts, etc, was
as firmly planted in the minds of the
common people as it could be and no
one could persuade the cOlOred people
that the knots found tied in the names
of the horses when they went to curry
them ia the morning were not made
by witches for stirrups. They even
believed they rode people at their
pleasure while the latter were asleep.
One of these at that day, a noted col
OTed man, Prince Viney Gather of John
Viney who has built good dwelling
in the lower part of the town and mar
ried daughter Geo. DOlley two or
three week since) rs firmly believed
that witches took him out and rode
him at night, as he was that he was
living. lie even related an incident
that happened In Que of these nOc Yr-
nal trips with as much assurance Of its
accuracy as he did any other event Of
his life. IL was that while the witch
was riding him one night, they stop
ped under a certain tree to rest. While
Resting, he cGst his eye on the ground
and saw a knife lying there. AS u
horse for the witch he was unable Of
course to pick it up, but he distinctly
remem beTed the tree, aud %ent the
next day as a man to the woods and
got the knife.
Smyrna times., 1892-02-03

The papers of Monday brought in
telligence of the death Of Rev. G. H.
SpurgeOn, which occurred at MentOne,
Italy, where he had gone for his
health. He was born in "a and not
an old man, but his reputation has
been world wide since he was 20 years
old. He stood in the very front ranks
of living preachers for effective evan
gelical preaching, and will be mOurned
by all other religious bodies as well as
the Baptist denomination, of which he
was a member The question is, who
will take his place in the great Taber
nacle, and hold his eager hearers O
5000 or 5000 that pressed its portals a.
every service?
