The last thing shall mention as one
of my family possessions was a string
band. My bugler was a highly-educated
German musician. lie served an appren-
ticeship OF seven years. lie had a good
voice. With my wife's so guitar and
two good violins we had good music. IL
often happened that on the march there
were long and tedious delays caused by
distractions ahead. Sometimes il vas a
bridge or a broken wagon in a narrow
road, sometimes waiting FOR somebody to
come UP, but from whatsoever cause the
delay was irksome. especially II the day
was hot and the road dusty. Under such
delay music by the band was ordered, and
some would dance, while others would
drink In with delight the concord OF
sweet sound. Others would remember
the ''old folks at home" and others
again "ths girl left behind me-" When
the band was not wanted in camp at
night II could get good supper by seek

to the learning, the fidelity to duty, and
the able and impartial manner In which
this incorruptible and able jurist and pure
man has discharged the srduons duties of
bis high Office. Judge Witherepoon
seemed very much gratified at this tribute
to his worth as man and Judge, and
with evident emotion returned to the gen.
tlemen his thanks for the kind words
spoken of him. He said that in retiring
from the Bench he felt sure that he should
miss the pleasant and genial intercourse
he had enjoyed with the members Of the
Bar all over the State, and which had been
particularly agreeable With the Andersnn
Bar. But that he would carry with him
in his retirement the happy recollection
that during the fifteen years Of his incum-
bency of the Office Of Judge, he had never
had an unpleasant word or-incident With
any member of the Bar Of South Carolina.
In conclusion he wished for each OF the
gentlemen present success and happiness
in life 1t was very proper thing to do,
and was we'll done on the part OF the
members Of the Bar thus to honor an able
Judge and good man. In common with
them all the people of Anderson regret
Judge Witherspoon's retirement from the
Bench, and have for him the sentiments
of the highest respect.
Mr.. William Burriss died at his home In
Centerville Township last night about 9
o'clock. He had been In feeble health
for year or more, and for several months
had been confined to his room His dis
ease was complicated, and for some time
his family realized that he was beyond
human aid. He, too, realized bis condi'
ton, and was ready and willing to an

when 1t came. Mr.. Burriss was the eld-
est son of the late Rev. Jacob Burriss, and
was in the list year Of his age. He was
born and reared in this County, where he
spent his life. He was man of modest,
unassuming disposition, and had the con-
idence and esteem Of q wide circle Of
friends and relatives. He was man
who attended strictly to his own busi-
ness, and truly lived up to that noble pre-
cept, ''Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you." We doubt If he had
an enemy, which Is something that can
be said cf few men in this world. Mr..
Burriss was practical farmer, and made
success Of his avooation. In early life
he Joined the Baptist Church, and was
ever faithful and consistent member.
He had long been a deacon OF Salem
Church. He was twice married, and by
his first marriage five sons and five
daughters survive him. Truly, Ander-
son County has lost most excellent cit
izen. Faithful and true in all the rela-
tions Of this life, he has now gone 70 reap
the rewards OF that brighter world, where
the Saviour reigns. The funeral services
will be conducted tomorrow morning at
II O'Clock, at Salem Church, by Rev. j.
R. Earle, after which the remains will be
inferred in the family burying-ground.

AN AUTUMN BRIDE.
EVAES-BARNARD.

Miss Annie R. Barnard and Mr.. Edward
A. Evans were married on Thursday al
1890 noon by Rev. Mr.. Fogle, at the resi-
dence of the brides sister, Mrs. Thos. d.
Garrison, near Cheswold. 1t was beauti.
full wedding. The house throughout was
decorated with autumn leaves, chrysanthe-
NUNS and smilax. and the air was laden
with the perfume of roses in rare abun-
dance. The ceremony was witnessed by a
large company, friends and relatives from
Pennsylvania and Maryland and many
near by neighbors being among the guests
of whom there were over three hundred.
The day was perfect, even nature owned
the spell, and never cloud dimmed the
sky. The bride wore green cloth travel
ing dress with brown velvet trimmings and
carried Bride roses and chrysanthemums.
She was given away by her elder brother.
DIR. W. e. Barnard. DR.. Evans of Cheswold,
brother of the groom, was best man. As
the bridal party entered the parlors, the
bridal chorus from Lohengrin was sung by
Miss Hattie Barnard, Mrs. Collins, Mr..
Louis NJ. Barnard and Mr.. Anderson, and
was one of the most beautiful parts of the
ceremony. Miss Ella P. Way. of West
vile, Pa. the brides cousin, played the
Wedding March.
Afrer the marriage luncheon was served
and every appointment was in exquisite
taste, the skill of several of Maryland's and
Pennsylvania famous cooks in addition
to Deiaware's equally famous cuisines add
ing to the excellence Of the menu which
was served in the perfection of free and un-
conventional hospitality, yeritable we'd
ding feast.
The gifts were numerous and handsome,
a great deal of solid silver, cut-glass, china,
and various house furnishing articles being
in the collection. Mr.. and Mrs. Evans took
