 WEDDING AT COLUMBIA, s. c.
 COLUMBIA, s. C., Feb. 7.-Carolina's s capital was tonight the scene of peculiar wedding in high life, showing that war memories can be buried where love reigps supreme.

 The bride, too, is a llneal descendant of the revolutionary war hero, Gen. Francis Marion, and tonight she carried in her hand a wedding fan which was used by her great grandmother, the wife of Marion 6 sgrandnephew. The wedding also took place in the shadow of the building where the officer did his first military duty, hay ing been stationed at the capitol here in the trying times of 1876, when Hampton overthrow the Chamberlain government.
 The wedding was the most brilliant so- cial event of the season in South Carolina. The couple went to Florida late tonight. Lieutenant Satterlee is now stationed at Atlanta, Ga.

"Bicyclcs grow old fashioned about as quick as anything l know" remarked an agent. 'Some improvement is always be- ing made to keep tho price up, and each year sees new high grade machine, It is only few years ago that the ordinaries sold for $150. You can get them for all most nothing now. Then tho safetics came in- They were heavy, with solid tires at first, but they sold for $l50. Then oamc : cushion tires and lighter weight, and the solid tires went down a notch. Next came the pneumatics and the best of these com mandcd $50. In tho meantime the pat terms have been changed and improved in various ways And still the wheel has not reached the stage of perfection.

GOOD WORDS FROM A CITIZEN.

The following cheering words are
from a resident of Decorah. We APP
preciate his words of encouragement:
EDITOR PUBLIC OPINION: I have
received a sample copy of your paper,
and notice that it is bright, clean and
for the first issue remarkably pcwsy.'
/ also notice that it has come to stay,
and that it is Republican in politics.
But have failed to notice that other
journals in the city have extended to
you the hand of fellowship and wei
come. Now it seems to NE that IL
Republican principles are true, that
Republicans, whether editors or not,
should receive all workers for the cause
with open arms, and if Democratic
principles are right a Democratic edi-
tor should be proud TO battle with
"focmen worthy Of his steel.'
Amy enterprise that will add a single
dollar to the business of DEBORAH
should be welcomed and encouraged
by every citizen. 1t is said that in all
cities, large and small, business is over
done; it has been said here for years;
and it requires a good deal of nerve and
energy to start i'm under such circum-
stances-yet young blood will come to
the front.
There are merchants, lawyers doc
tors and others who have started in
BUSINESS within the last few years in
Dccomh who had old and reliable OPP
ponents to contend with, and plenty of
them, but owing to their widc-awake
business faculties they have achieved a
wonderful success.
] hope the editor Of the new paper
will be rs fortunate as the other young
business men, and, rs Il resident of the
city, l for one extend to him n hearty
welcome. CITIZEN.
