Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, March N.-On last We'd
nesday night, Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold Fried
helm celebrated their silver wedding. Mr..
Friedheim is so well known in York as
an old soldier, a pleasant companion and
successful business man that nothing new
can be said of him; but this occasion was
one to be remembered. AS if to show the
success that has attended his efforts, the
weather did its best and furnished night
that could not be surpassed for beauty.
AS the guests came in they were received
by the bride and groom with welcome
which plainly showed that all were ex-
pected. Then passing through the various
rooms thrown open to them, the guests
mingled in social groups, enjoying the
decorations, the presents, each other and
themselves. In all the rooms were num-
bers of potted plants; the green leaves Of
ferns and palms mingled with the colors
of the geranium, and all set off by the
snowy curtains. made the room as attract
i've as magic bower.
Prominent among the decorations were
monograms of 1857 and "1S7l-1S96," sus-
pended by satin ribbon. The dining
room was lighted by chandelier of Is
candles, and was arranged for 25 seats.
The supper embraced everything alb owe
ad nahum, and everything was just right.
The presents were very handsome, and
numbering more than rs. There was a
handsome silver service and smaller gifts
too numerous to mention, each showing
the esteem in which this couple are held.
The evening passed rapidly and pleasant
ly away midnight came and the last lin
gering guests expressed the wish, which
all feel, that their hosts might enjoy many
more such anniversaries and then wended
their way homeward as "the setting stars
invited Sleep"
Another chapter was added this even
ing to the long list of accidents from guns
in the hands of children. While num-
Der of little ones were playing soldier, in
some way an air gun, loaded with some
small cartridge, was discharged and
wounded Tom Reid, son of Mr.. j. F.
Reid, little boy nearly years old. The
bullet struck him above the middle of the
body and penetrated into the cavity.
Probing failed to locate it, so that no idea
of its course can be formed. The little
fellow is resting quietly, not suffering;
but great anxiety is felt in regard to him.
For some years the State Teachers AS
sociation has been meeting in Spartan
burg, where the authorities of Converse
college have kindly placed the building
at their disposal. 1t was thought best to
change the place of meeting this year and
the trustees of Winthrop have rendered
the college building as house of enter
tainment for that occssion.' The execu-
tive committee decided to hold this ses-
sion in Rock Hill beginning June 80 and
ending July3. The meetings have been
much edjoyed in Spartanburg and we
hope to make them equally pleasant
here, or more so.
Several instances of thieving on small
scale have come to our notice lately. A
Negro by the name of Dickey-not well
known here-snatched piece of fine silk
cloth from one Of the counters of Messrs.
