KENNEDY-CARROLL.

The marriage bells rang quite merrily
at Sharon last Wednesday. The three
events mentioned in our last issue came
off according to programme, and it is re-
ported that still other nuptial knots were
tied in the immediate neighborhood; but
we have been unable to secure the details
except as to the Kennedy-Carroll mar
rage, which seems to be quite a notable
affair. A Yorkville gentleman who par
ticipated in the festivities, as an invited
guest, reported as follows:
1.-THE ceremony took place in Wood
lawn Presbyterian church, and was per-
formed by Rev. J. B. Swami. The church
had been decorated for the occasion with
much skill and splendid taste. The main
feature of the decoration was floral arch,
sprung across the pulpit, with the letters
"K and G" suspended from the Keystone
l was told that this was the work Of Mrs
Robert Whisonant and Mrs. DR.. Saye.
"Dr. ]. H. Saye and Mr.. w. R. Carroll
acted as masters of ceremonies. The bride
was escorted to the altar by Mr.. Carroll
and the groom was escorted by DR.. Saye.
The attendants were Mr.. ]. NJ. Brice with
Miss Vessie Rainey and Mr.. j. B. Ken
nedy with Miss Marie Carroll. Messrs.
Thomas McDill and G. L. Kennedy acted
as ushers. The church was literally
crowded and think quite number fail
ed to get in. Mr.. George T. Schorb pre-
sided at the organ, and he did it most
cleverly. He brought in the party with
Mendelssohn's wedding march, and after
the ceremony, which was brief and i'm
pressive, was over, he sent them out with
"Home, Sweet Home"
after the ceremony, number of init
mate friends went over to the home OF
the brides father, Mr.. Zafe Carroll, and
partook of sumptous supper. You can
say that the whole thing constituted quite
an event and we all enjoyed it."
DIR. Kennedy, the groom, is son OF MIR.
J. R. Kennedy, of Sharon. He has just
received his diploma as an NJ. d. and is
bright young man, of splendid ability,
who can be depended upon to get along
in the world. Miss Pink, the bride, is the
only daughter of Mr.. Zafe Carroll and has
been a reigning belle in the community.
Both of the young people have hosts OF
riends who wish them well.

BLAcKsBURa, December l9.-Death has
again visit ed two households in our town,
and two more little ones have been taken
away from loving hearts forever.
Ira Lee, the tender babe Of only year,
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Bridges, died on
Thursday morning last, and the same
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Pollock
were called to give up their bright and
sweet little girl Bobby, who during her
brief life Of three summers, had, by her
loving disposition and winning ways, 80
entwined herself about the hearts Of her
own family and all who knew her that 1t
was bitter pang, to watch her bright eyes
close forever, her dear little form become
cold in death, and her spirit to leave this
world and return to him who gave it. 10
both families, our people extend their
heartfelt sympathy.
On Saturday evening last, about dark,
Julian Ross, son of our townsman, j. b.
Ross, having just returned from hunting,
was standing with the muzzle of his gun
resting on his left foot, when it was
accidentally discharged and its entire
contents went through his shoe and shot
off the great and second toes. The wound
was promptly attended to by Drs. RAM
seur and Anderson, and the young man is
doing very well.
Miss Essie Ratterree has, for the past
two months, been confined to her bed the

is still under treatment. On Sunday
morning her sister, Mrs. A. Whisonant,
by mistake, gave her teaspoonful OF
tincture of opium. The dose would prob
ably not have affected strong, healthy
person very seriously; but in very short
time, Miss Ratterree was profoundly
under the poisonous influence of the
drug, and it was with difficulty that she
could be kept from succumbing to its
power. However, she has fully recovered
from the attack, and to the great relief OF
her family and many friends, is getting
along nicely.
Among those who have recently goneto
the exposition from this place are Messrs.
R. P. Roberts, Julian N. Ross, Arthur
Whisonant, D. L. Brown, j. j. Whiso-
nant, Evrue A. Bridges, and many others
whose names cannot recall.
Examinations in the graded school are
in progress now, and there is only one
session day.
Mr.. A. B. Crosby and family have re-
turned to their farm in the southern part
of this county. They have been living in
Blacksburg about II years. During their
stay, they have occupied prominent
place in our social life, made many friends
and it is with genuine regret that we give
them up, and trust that they will make
brief stay in the country and will return
to their home here.

YORKVILLE, 8. @. :
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1895.

When Cleveland's war message was
read in the senate Tuesday the staid and
dignifed senators applauded it enthusias-
tically. This act broke all precedents.
The senate has never before been known
to make any such manifestation Of its
feelings on any similar previous occasion.

sage of the president submitted this
day to congress marks a critical stage
in our relations with Great Britain; and
while we trust that the difficulty may
be amicably adjusted to the satisfaction
of the two greatest nations of the earth,

been heartily endorsed by us and that
there should be no step backward. And
be it further Resolved, That. we, the

commission to be appointed by the

asked that it be considered Immediate

no objection and the bill making the ap-

There was good deal of war talk in

that clubs are being formed by the
keepers of some of the saloons in
which people are admitted to men,
bership on the payment of an initia-
ton fee, and where liquors and other
refreshments are served only to
those who are members of the club.
1t is some twenty years ago since
the state of Minnesota adopted local
option, which gave to a majority of
the voters in any town or village the
right to decide whether license
should be granted for the sale of in
toxicating liquors or not In many
of the towns in the southern part
OF the state a majority of the voters
were opposed to the existence of sa-
looms in the community, and decided
that no license should be granted.
The lawyers, always fertile in ex-
pedients, advised the club dodge.
and in communities where open deal
ing was barred the keepers of the
saloons proceeded to form clubs of
the thirsty and bibulous, and re-
sumed their. operations. The results
were disastrous to them. The courts
held, in the prosecutions that were
brought, that the clubs were mere
eVasions of the law, and that the
traffic could not shelter itself behind
the mask of individual and private
rights. The same result will no
doubt follow in New York, the more
certainly that a new and different
class Of men now sit on the bench
OF the police courts formerly occu-
pied by men of the stamp of Diver.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The action taken by the assembly
in inStructing the city engineer to
build fences about the dangerous
portions of the bluffs of West st.
Paul, and to construct new steps on
the West side seems to determine
the responsibility for the recent de-
plorable death of two little girls by
the falling Of an embankment. A
great deal of unnecessary contro-
versy was raised over this question,
and it was made the occasion for the
exhibition of shameful partisan mall
ice. The occurrence was one so sad
as to warrant an attempt to fix the
responsibility. The circumstances
showed that this could not be placed
upon any department or any indi-
vidual. The fact is that the exist
ence of this projecting bank, under
which children were in the habit of
going to dig and play in the sand,
was a menace to life which might
have attracted the eye of any one
living in the locality, and ought
to have been reported at once by
some one to the council or the city
engineer. 1t was not done, and two
children paid with their lives the
penalty of the general neglect.
1t is clear that the resolution that
the assembly has now adopted might
as we'll have been presented and
put into effect three months ago. If
it had been, the accident could not
have occurred. The responsibility,
therefore, lies with all those persons
who might have prevented the Ia
mentable affair, but did not. 1t is
simply one of those cases of gen
eral oversight for which no one in
dividual can be made accountable. It
would be cruel and unjust to lay
the blame upon one official or an
other, or upon the residents of the
vicinity. Nobody really anticipated
any such occurrence, and therefore
nobody took steps to prevent it.
Danger of any repetition of this will
be removed by the councils action.
That the occasion should have been
used for personal or political pur-
poses is simply disgraceful on the
part of those who attempted it.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, July 10
The sloop Restless is reported lost off
Santa Cruz Island with sixteen persons
on board. Last Monday a party of
young people left port for a pleasure
trip to the islands on the Restless.
The Sloop started in the morning and
made very slow progress as long as
she was in sight. She was visible at
3 o'clock in the afternoon. brisk
breeze was blowing and it was not
known whether anything was the mat
ter with her at that time. The party
was expected back two days ago and
last night friends of the party COM
menced to feel uneasy about her. This
morning Fred Forebush, port in
spector, whose son is on board, and
Mr.. Pratt started a searching party.
This evening the parents of the per-
sons on board the Restless We're at
the wharf waiting for the return of
the searchers, but no news coming
compelled them to return home DIS
appointed. The searching party was
expected back this evening if the Rest
less was found, but at 9:30 D. m. there
was no sign of either. Reports from
down the coast are that the Restless
has been wrecked.

SORE EYES AND SILVER.

The Democrats in Missouri are go
ing to have a state convention to
wrestfe with the silver question. I'm
fortunately there is no Carlisle in
that state, and all its prominent
politicians are worshiping the silver
calf. The chairman of the state COM
mittee gave some excellent reasons
while ago why the party should
oppose free coinage, but yielded TO
the request of a majority of the
county chairmen for a convention.
The chief agitator among the county
chairmen was one Farris, who de-
clares that Cleveland is a gold bug
and a traitor to the party and silver.
The New York Evening Post finds
the source of Mr.. Farris' dislike for
the president in pension matter.
Farris was a soldier. Sixteen years
after muSter-out he discovered that
he was entitled to a pension because
he had chronic diarrhoea. He got a
pension. This stimulated his ap-
petite for more and he applied in a
few months for an increase on the
ground that his diarrhoec. had af-
fected his eyesight. The medical
officers of the bureau rejected the
application because there could be
no relation of cause and effect be-
tween the two Affections.
Then Bland, his representative,
had a special act passed giving Far
ris a pension, and it was made the
subject of one of the presidents
veto messages. The president took

DAVIS IN THE CABINET.
1t Is Said He Would Accent the
PremiersbiD

WASHINGTON, July 10. - The
Washington Star prints the follow
ing about Senator Davis presiden-
tial aspirations: Senator Davis, of
Minnesota, has been mentioned in
connection with presidential nom
ination, but it has been rather in
the nature of a compliment and
hardly serious proposition. 1t is
not believed that he really has any
hope of receiving the nomination,
and some of his friends say that
what he wants is to be secretary of
state. 1t is presumed that the ma
tional convention is deemed the
best place to lay plans for gratifying
his ambition. The supposition is
that Senator Davis will go into the
convention with the Minnesota del
egation back of him, and probably
with call on Wisconsin, and i'm
mediateIS begin some lively dicker-
ing with the leading presidential
candidates. The question has been
raised whether the Minnesota dele
cation would allow themselves to
be traded away by Davis for a cab
met position, but it is claimed that
there will probably be no trouble
on this score on account of the con-
ditions surrounding the senatorship,
which would be vacant by Mr.. Da-
Wis elevation to the cabinet. 1t is
said that some of the leading candi-
dates for senator would smooth the
way for Davis to get the cabinet
plum.
