friends, on last Wednesday night
Mr.. G. D.. Cox and Miss Lola John,
son We're united in the holy bonds
OF matrimony by the Rev. Mr..
Butts. The church was tastefully
decorated. To the strains of the
wedding march, the attendants,
Miss Alma Lanford and Mr.. Fay
cite Waldrop, Miss Lille johnson
and Mr.. Charlie Lanford, Miss
Etolia Lanford and Mr.. Conway
Posey, Miss Mona Cannon and Mr..
Homer Ferguson, took their places
on each side of the altar. After
these came the lovely bride, at
tired in a white bridal costume, &C
companied by the chivalric bride.
groom. All the proceedings were
beautifully impressive.
After the ceremony the young
couple, accompanied by a large
number of friends and relatives
were given a delightful reception at
the home of Mr.. H. M. johnson, the
father of the bride. The bounteous
supper was a marvel Of culinary
skill and was much enjoyed by the
participants.
This newly married couple have
the well wishes of the entire COM
munity OF this, the beginning of
their welded life.
To day, about nine and a half
o'clock a. M, this community was
startled by the cry of fire and all
eyes were turned towards the beau
tiful residence of Mr.. r. P. Milan,
which was rapidly being consumed
by flames. In a short while the
comfortable home was laid waste.
Many willing hands were soon
found to render any assistance pos
sible. About ali of the household
goods on the lower floor were
saved, but on the second floor
many valuable articles, such as bed.
ding, clothing and furniture, in
Guiding a large library, belonging
to Rev. B. l.. Anderson were lost.
MIR. Milan estimates his loss to be
between eighteen hundred and two
thousand dollars, only about one,
third Of which is covered by in
surance. This whole community
deeply sympathize with Mr.. Milan
in his great loss,
We are glad TO welcome a new
physician, DR.. Boland to this sec
ton of the country and hope that
he will secure a large and lucrative
practice.
Of late, whenever Mr., Scott
Higgins comes to the station in a
very short time he is seen hurrying
back home-it's a charming little

Clippings from Clinton Gazette.

The heavy rain and wind storm
of Monday night last week, which
threatened life and property
round about Clinton, proves to
have been a we'll developed cy-
clone at and in tho vicinity of
Whitmires, where much damage
was done to property. On Mr..
Billy Duckett's place near the
town fourteen small houses were
blown down, the Baptist church
was blown off its pillars; and but
for ar old-fashioned bedstead, un-
der which the badly frightened
household took shelter, a FUN
lily Of colored people would
have been crushed to death by
falling timbers. The greatest con-
sternation prevailed and the night
was n not soon to be forgotten.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in
hamen you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
Is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to It's normal condition ,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inffanfed condition Of the mucous

HOME AFFAIRS.
ONE L A YEAR.

Hereafter THE ADVERTISER will be
sent one year for one dollar to persons
who will pay In advance.
Numbers OF persons complain that
the price of THE ADVERTISER is too
high. They say that one dollar a
year is enough.
The price OF the paper is placed at
M dollar q year only because sub
scribers refuse to pay for it in adj
vance. When the proprietor has to
take the risk OF frequently getting
nothing for the paper, and besides, has
to pay for collecting, there is no profit
at all in publishing the paper at one
dollar. II all The ADVERTISERS sub
scribers would pay one dollar in ad-
vance the profit would be much better
than at n dollar and a half on q Gre
dit. Therefore, In order that there
may be no reason for complaint, THE
ADVERTISER will be sent one year to
any person who pays the dollar in ad-
vance.
Subscribers in arrears who wish the
paper at n dollar must CT course set
tie their arrears and may then pay one
dollar In advance for the twelve months
ensuing.
This rule will be rigidly adhered to.
The cash must be paid before the pa.
per Is sent, else the price will remain
one dollar and q half.
