More mock marriage misery is reported
from Virginia. This time a Miss Clark
and Dr.. Taylor are the victims. They.
with Justice of the peace named Has
kins were guests at Il social gathering one
evening last week. Haskins had Just been
elected TO his Office and some of the party
remarked that he was too unfamiliar with
his newly-acquirrd official duties To properly
perform the marriage ceremony. In re-
Spouse to a suggestion that some lady and
gentleman permit him to try his hand at
tying the matrimonial knot, Dr.. Taylor and
Miss Clark consented to enact the part of
bride and groom, and after asking the usual
questions the justice pronounced them man
and wife. 1t turns ont that the marriage
was perfectly legal and it becomes necessary
for Miss Clark or, more properly speaking,
Mrs. Taylor, to get divorce before she can
marry another gentleman to whom she is
engaged. A mock marriage is burlesque
on one of the most sacred of rites. and for
this reason, even if il could be made certain
that no legal complications would ensue, the
fad should be discouraged,

The action of the American board in APP
pointing Rev. w. II. Moves IA missionary
will bc received with satisfaction by Chris
tians who believe the true function of the
board TO be the saving of souls rather than
the settlement of any theological dogma.
The doctrine of future probation has been
such disturbing factor in the board for the
last seven years that the organization finds
itself burdened with II debt of $50. 600
caused by the detection of the contributions
of its constituents to other fields. Mission
aiy work has been almost AT a standstill in
some quarters, while the missionaries them
selves have suffered for want of the neces-
saries of life,
In reply to the request of the board for a
statement of his belief touching future pro
bation, Mr. Noyes has said

HE THRAsHED A NEGRO
For Insulting His Daughter, and Murder
Was Nearly the Result


A well-known planter of Sumter cOun-
ty was 'held up by three negroesa few
nights ago while driving home from the
city. The affair has been kept very
quiet since the night on which 1t occurr-
ed, the idea being to arrest the highway
men.
The gentleman was driving quietly
along in his buggy when three negroes,
all wearing masks and heavily armed,
sprung from the bushes by the roadside.
One seized the horse by the bit, While
the other two leveled their guns a. the
occupant of the buggy,at the same time
telling him to hold up his hands.
A moment later one OF the would-be
assassins approached nearer and by the
dim light of the moon peered into the
face of the white man. With an oath he
lowered his gun and turning 10 his com
panions, said; 'D-n it, we've got the
wrong mn; this is not the one we
want"
Instantly the other two lowered their
guns and all three retreated into the
woods. The gentleman lost no time in
getting away from the dangerous lo3all-
ty. but in the excitement did not fail to
catch the name of the white man for
whom the negroes lay in wait and whom
they doubtless intended killing. He has
been notified of tue occurrence and
should the three outlaws attempt to hold
him up there will be a funeral in chat
neighborhood next morning.
Several days ago young lady of that
neighborhood, while driving home alone,
met negro IN the road who asked per
mission to ii de with her. She vas very
indignant at the negroes insolence and
reported the occurrence to her father,
who gave the negro sound thrashing,
and for this the three negroes lay in am
bush for him as stated above.
