A Church nm Farmer Loses Ills Stable
and Contents by Fire.
Last "Wednesday night the large
stable of MIR. Il. d. Boyd, a well
known young farmer OF the Church
Hill neighborhood, was destroyed by
fire, together with about one hundred
barrels OF corn, a lot OF farming i'm
plements, q large quantity OF hay,
and two fine horses. Another young
horse was very badly scorched, but
made his escape without permanent
injury. Mr.. Boyd's loss is estimated
at a thousand dollars, and there is no
insurance. The fire was evidently
the work OF an incendiary and it is TO
be hoped that he or they will be
trailed down and brought to justice.
Mr.. Boyd is very industrious and
exceedingly popular man and his loss
is much regretted by his many
friends.

SUMMERS CARTER The sweet
chimes of wedding bells have been
heard for quite while in the vicinity
of Longview.. Last Thursday, Nov.
%, at o'clock, p. M, in Locust
Grove church, Mr.. Leslie Summers
and Miss Fannie M. Carter were unit
ed in marriage by the pastor in
charge, Rev. Mr.. Vaughn. The six
couples ia attendance were: MIR. and
Mrs. Geo. Broaddus, Mr.. Byrd Car
ter and Miss Otie Wood, Mr.. Tyree
Nuckols and Miss Lula Lowry, Mr..
Will Broaddus and Miss Laura
Haney, Mr.. Geo. Oates and Miss No
IA Collins, of Daysville, KY, DR.. Har
ry w. Watts and Miss Ethel Duke.
The church had been darkened for
the occasion, but the chandeliers shed
soft, subdued light over the interior
of the building,which was most hand
somely decorated with flowers. The
wedding march was played by Miss
Pauline Lowry, of Garrettsburg and
as the first sweet strains fell upon
our ears, the bridal party entered,
preceded by the ushers, Messrs.
Walker CARROT and j. Broaddus. A
large bell composed of white chrys-
anthemums was suspended in front
and Just inside the altar, and beneath
this beautiful floral Offering the young
couple who were to plight their vows
for all time stood. He in the vigor
of his young manhood, she in the
purity and loneliness of her girlhood.
The ceremony was brief but impress
sive and we felt that the earnest pray
err of the minister found an echo in
the heart of every one present. After
the many good wishes and congratu-
lations were rendered this deservedly
popular couple, the bridal couple left
for Douglas station where an elegant
reception was given them by Mrs.
Geo. Broaddus, the brides sister.
May Hope like the beautiful rninbow
that spanned the sky on the morning
of their marriage, ever brighten life's
horizon is the fervent wish OF ono

Chinese Peers.

When. on the death of Chinese
peer, an imperial decree has been OBJ

does not follow that that successor
can at once assume the title and

is required first of all to go into
mourning for his father, grandfather,

is a Manchu he can get this over in
a hundred days-for the Manchus

the son had robbed the father and

to crack the old mans safe for big

in upon the darkened stage he locked
everywhere, except where it stood,
for the safe, which was in plain view
of the audience; but at last his eye
fell upon it. Then to the amaze

of proceeding quickly and quietly to
