At Hymen's Altar.

A beautiful wedding was celebrated at
the home Of the brides father, Mr.. E; f.
Pruitt, of Annie, 8. c., on the 10th of De-
cember, 1896, the contracting parties be-
ing Mr.. J. Joshua Martin, of Mt. Gala
CHER, Laurens County, s. c, and Miss
Lula j. Pruitt, of Annie, S. c. In the
early part of the day few loving friends
assembled in the parlor, surrounded with
ferns, evergreen and flowers Of many
varieties, which were so tastefully arrang-
ed that glance at them made US feel as if
nature herself had lent helping hand.
By o'clock p. m. the invited guests be-
gan to arrive and at p. m. large num-
Der of relatives and friends were gather
ed, where the groom, with number OF
relatives and friends of Laurens County,
came up. At 5 the bridal party walked
out on the floor in the following order /:
Mr.. }. Robt. Pruitt with Miss Nina
Pruitt, Mr.. Furman Martin with Miss
Mary Pruitt. The bride and groom took
their place beneath lovely wedding bell,
made of evergreens and flowers, when
Rev. Martin, of Laurens County, in very
solemn ceremony, pronounced the happy
couple husband and wife. From there
the parties betook themselves to the
dining room, where an elegant supper
was in waiting for them. Supper being
over the evening was spent pleasantly,
each choosing their own way. Some ex-
cellent music was furnished from the
violin and guitar, which charmed all, but
judging from the tetetete carried on in
different portions of the room we think
some OF the young ladies heard softer and
,sweeter music.
The bride was the recipient Of many
valuable presents Thus ended one Of
the most pleasant evenings spent in An.
ME for many years. On the day follow
ing the bridal party, with a few relatives
and friends, started for the home of the
groom, where a reception was awaiting
them. We congratulate Mr.. Martin in
his winning the hand and heart of so
noble girl for his companion in life

noon at s o'clock. Just little more than
a week preceding he had been stricken
with paralysis, and from the f rst day of

years of age, and for more than forty years

A Tribute Of Respect.

Death has again visited our community
and carried away on its pinions one of oul
dear schoolmates, Miss Maggie Gillespie
the second daughter of Mr.. Lewis GILES
pie. She had been great sufferer from
consumption for several months, when on
the 2lst of Nov. she peacefully fell asleep
in the arms of her Saviour. Maggie was il
the eighteenth year of her age, and WE
found while conversing with her that nc
one could have been more hopeful of a long
life. She was at all times bright and
cheerful and bore her sickness with the
greatest patience. When the Lord picks
bis choicest flowers from among us, 1t is tC
remind us that He giveth and taketh al
times we know'not when. Although We
were expecting Maggies death at any
time the sudden announcement flashed
through our heart like an arrow. After
bidding her father, mother, brother and
sisters good bye she passed through the
pearly gates to rest at the feet of Jesus,
On Sunday evening her remains were laid
to rest at Flat Rock Baptist Church. We
tender our heartfelt sym pathies to the
bereaved family and friends. Our loss is
Maggie's gain. .
One by one the Lord will call US,
AS our labor here is done;
Aud then as we cross the river,
We may meet her one by one.

Shot Down by C0nstables.

CHERAw, Dec. 13.-The usually quiet
town of Chesterfield is all excitement
over fatal shooting that took place last
evening. 1t is claimed that much of the
contraband whiskey brought into this
section Of the State comes from the dis
tilleries on the State line. Recently
Marshal "Pink" Brantley, of Chesterfield,
attempted to capture man named Clark
passing through the streets with some on
q buggy, and the effort resulted in the
shooting and severe woundiDg of Clark
by the marshal Soon after this reports
wore rife of the eXtensiveness of the
hauling through Chesterfield, and a few
days ago State Constable GeorgeJ. Brown
turned up there and has been on the look
out since. Early the past week be with
a party captured lot of the "stutf'' and
committed several parties to Jail, and
warrants were issued for still others.
Following close on all this the constable
had pointed out to him yesterday man
driving through town in buggy with
fodder tied on behind, and was told that
if he watched for him on his return he
would probably be able to make another
capture. The constable summoned
Deputies Press Douglas, W. P. Swinnie
and Dock Chapman, and stationed him
self and party on the road leading to the
town, and along which the buggy would
have to pass on its return. Near night
fall the man was seen coming, and the
four officers stationed themselves all on
one side of the road, 80 that in case of any
shooting they would not hit each other.
AS the man in the buggy neared them
Constable Brown says that he ordered
him to throw up his hands and surrender.
He leaned over and, the constable says,
raised long revolver and pointed directly
at him, and in an instant shot was heard
from one of the party and the man fell in
his buggy. The wounded man was found
to be Press Kelly, from Darlington
County. He was taken at once to the
Jail and physicians summoned, who re-
ported that he had evidently been shot
with a shotgun, one shot entering just
over the right eye, one over the left eye
and one on each side Of the nose. The
physicians pronounced the wounds fatal,
and it was not thought Kelly would be
alive to-day. The captured team and
whiskey are in the hands Of the sheriff.
Mr.. Brown declines to say which one OF
the party did the shooting, but it could
not have been him, for he says he was
armed with two pistols, so that the fatal
shot must have been fired by one of the
deputies. Brown claims that he would
have been killed had not the shot been
fired by his party when it was, for Kelly
had his pistol almost in his face. The
constable was advised to be on his guard
and change his quarters last night by
some of the citizens of the place, as Kelly
is one of the Kelly brothers, of kellytown,
near IIartsville, and they feared for his
safety. lie therefore came TO Cheraw
and spent the night here, claiming that
he did 80 not through fear, but to be able
to communicate with the Governor.
