with marriage license, and explained
to Pastor Oberschmidt that having
plighted their lives and love to each
other, they desired to be joined as man
and wife without the ceremony and
formality of public wedding, and so
had come to him to have their wishes
carried out. Accordingly the nuptial
knot was soon tied, and after receiving
the congratulations and God-speed of
the Pastor and his family, they de-
parted for the groom's home, rejoicing
and altogether happy In each others

Robt. c. Applewhite Appointed Sheriff
Robt. G.. Applewhite, who for four
years has been a deputy in the Sheriff's
Office, was last Friday appointed
Sheriff by Governor McLaurin, vice
Chas. McNair, deceased. He received
his commission that evening and at
once assumed the responsible duties
of the office Of which he was aleady in
charge by reason of his deputyship. 1t
is understood he will make up and
present his official bond for approval
by the Board of Supervisors next
Monday.
He had strong official and personal
backing for the Office and by reason of
his long service in and familiarity with
the duties of the position, was the
logical successor of his lamented
chief; hence Gov. McLaurin had no
difficulty in settling the question of
filling the vacancy promptly as he did.
Robt. Applewhite is member of
one of the best and most respected
families of Lincoln county. He has a
fairly good education, is graduate of
one of the best commercial colleges in
the State, and hence good account
ant. He is a young man of unques-
toned courage, not easily excited, and
The LEADER believes he entersupon the
Office of Sheriff with a conscientious
determination to discharge its duties
as the law requires and in a manner
that will commend him and his admin
tration to all good citizens.

An Important Transfer of Real Estate.
An important transfer Of real estate
took place in Brookhaven Saturday.
The lot Of ground on which the Baptist
Church has been situated for twenty
six years, occupying a position imme-
diately in front of Whitworth College
and on the same block, was exchanged
with the Board of Trustees of Whit
worth College for an eligible corner lot
one block least Of the Illinois Central
Railroad, near the Court House square,
at the corner of Court and Cheokee
streets. On this lot which is 150x15C
feet in size, the Baptist con
gregation will proceed at once to erect
their new church building, the con
tract for which has been let, and ex
pect to have it ready for occupancy
before the Baptist State Convention
meets here next July. The exchange
is regarded as one of advantage to the
College, the Church and the City gen
orally.
The growing patronage of Whitwortf
College makes it necessary for Presi
dent Chambers to add another story tc
the principal dormitory, which will bt
done during the next vacation, and in
a few years more it is contemplated
that large central building will bt
CONSTRUCTED between the present wings
fronting toward the Illinois Central
depot. Then the lot secured from the
Baptists and the one owned by the
Masons, which the College expects to
purchase after awhile, will form part
of a large and beautiful campus In
front of the College.
President Chambers deserves great
credit for the enterprise, energy and
zeal he has displayed in giving spirit
and shape to these important improve
ments, and The LEADER earnestly
desires that all of his most cherished
hopes and plans with reference to the
College may be speedily realized. He
says now he expects to lay the corner
stone for the new central building in
1900.
LATER-By the efforts of President
Chambers, the Market House corner
was sold to the College by the City
Council last night. This gives the Col
lege that entire block of the City ex-
cepting only the lot on which the Ma
sonic Hall stands, and which, as stated
above, President Chambers expects to
purchase in the near future.
