Rock HILL, August give notice
each day on our streets some familiar face
that for some weeks has been missed.
One by one they are returning home after
their holiday. Among those who have;
returned are Mrs. E. E. Poag, Miss Aline
Mobley, Miss Florence Vance, Miss An
nieLyle ,Roddey and the Misses Sherfe-
see. The absentees during the summer
haye been many, but most of them are at
home again.
The city council has decided to limit
the number of our police to three for the
present. Two will divide each "a hours
at noon. Chief Culp remains, as hereto
fore, in general charge. The latter man
aged to rid the town of little vagabond
few days since. His name is Arthur
Garner, and he has already tried chain
gang fare. He was arrested under suspi-
cion of having secreted himself in store
the night before and stealing some few
ARTICLES. He broke away, was caught
and put in the old guardhouse, but in
about Is minutes was gone again. His
room is much preferred to his company
in any capacity.
Yesterday afternoon, at 6 o'clock, in the
Presbyterian church at this place, Mr..
Robert B. Cunningham and Miss Bessie
Russell were married. Rev. Alexander
Sprunt oficiated. Mr.. Cunningham is
from Kershaw county, but has been
among US so long that he may be consid-
cred as belonging to Rock Hill. Miss
Russell was daughter of Mr.. M. w. Rus
sell, long citizen of Rock Hill. The
ceremony was very simple. Messrs.
Harrison, Oates, Boulware and J. NJ.
Russell acted as ushers; while Miss Jen-
ME, Russell the sister of the bride, and
Mr.. Ed Cunningham were the only atten-
dants. Miss Roddey, our accomplished
organist, rendered Taunhauser's and
Lohengrin's marches as the party entered
and left the church. The bridal pair at
once left for an extended tour first to
Norfolk and then to points further north.

teams. The races run were close and
exciting but everything was quiet and
enjoyed. s..
