Mr.. Samuel Matson, best man, made

who were soon to take upon themselve:
the solem VOW of accepting each other
for better or worse. The Wedding
Bells march, by Prof. Wyman, was
played by Miss Cincy Kerchner as the
interested parties were escorted up the
aisle to the altar, where Rev. Rose was
in readiness to perform the cermony.
This done, the benediction was pro
nounced and the bridal couple and a
few others of close acquaintance pro-
ceeded to the residence of the brides
parents, where a rich and select menu
was ready. The wedding gifts were
not many, but were both handsome

cream colored chiffon, sleeves and
bodice to match, tulle veil. wreath
and roses to adorn the hair. Her trav-

From the circle of our young ladies

have been Gas some will agree) promot
ed to higher sphere in life, and it is
causing no little anxiety among those
that are left out. probably, for another
four years, as some of them have been
heard to express themselves. It was
really pleasant to witness the actions
of some of our young beaux last week,
after they had lost two of their num-
Der, and what to do or say was the pre-
vailing quandry. SO the thought occur
red to them to make the best of the sit
uation and concluded to bid adieu to
the year in the same way as she made
her appearance by giving another leap
year party. This they did on Friday
evening last, and, although the even
ing was stormy, it did not deter the
brave heroines from hustling up about
thirty-five of the sterner sex. In a
little while Workman's Hall was almost
full of merry making and fun-loving
people to dance to the charms of music
produced by the Graniteville orchestra.

Some of the more mischievous par

work, which is the most essential thing
with us people in this section, with the
exception of health. of course.
The granite trade in this locality
during the year just closed was the

new year. ID
