| BLACKSBURG, December 3.-The cold
wave which was announced yesterday for
this part of the country has not struck us
with much severity so far, and the morning
is as bright and bracing as one could wish
for
While there seems to be general fail
ure of the turnip crop throughout our
section of the State, yet some OF our more
careful farmers have succeeded, as usual,
in raising good crops and large turnips.
Mr.. Ed Mintz, few days ago, sent in
bag full of fine specimens OF the favorite
esculent, and Mr.. q. L. Moore presented
me with one which weighs At pounds,
and is a fair sample of his whole crop.
Mr.. Moore says that he sowed the seed
three times, and he feels well rewarded
for his perseverance.
One of the most delightful social events
occurring in our town this season, was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. George c. Nutting,
at their residence, on Saturday evening
last It was in celebration OF the silver
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Nutting, and a
host of friends assembled at their cozy
home to congratulate them upon reach
ing, under such felicitous circumstances,
such a desirable and happy stage upon
the journey of their married life. The
house was beautifully decorated for the
occasion, and over the fireplace in the
hall, were the figures 25 in evergreens.
The dining room was especially beauti-
full and attractive. The table was dressed
in yellow and white the center piece was
a beautiful collection of chrysanthemums
and ferns, which stood out in bold relief
and were reflected by large mirror
upon which they rested. At each end OF
the table was a large banquet lamp,
handsomely decorated in yellow, the en-
tire design exhibited exquisite taste and
artistic skill.
Ofcourse something to refresh the inner
man was not forgotten, and the table was
hountifully ladened with delicious viands,
noticeable among them for their unique
and beautiful designs were two cakes !;
one with the Masonic emblems, and the
other with large horseshoe. The happy
couple were the recipients Of many and
very handsome presents in silver
Mr.. and Mrs. Nutting were married at
Amhurst, Mass, on the 30th Of Novem-
Der, 1860, and fitting and pleasant fea-
ture of this, their silver anniversary, was
the presence of the Rev. L. A. Johnson,
who made some we'll chosen and appro-
pirate remarks and gave the worthy cou-
pie his blessing and benediction.
Mr.. G. A. Parker, one Of our pop
ular merchants left for Asheville on SUN
day last and today will be married to
Miss Sue Reynolds of that city. They
will visit the Atlanta exposition this
week, on their wedding trip.
Rev. l.. A. johnson preached his last
sermon on Sunday as pastor of the NJ. T..
church at this place. Our people give
him up with great reluctance, and even
sense of personal grief, as he has by his
kind and loving ministrations, endeared
himself to all our people.
Qvite number of Methodist ministers
passed through here this morning on
their way to the annual conference at
Rock Hill. W. A.
