An interesting event to occur
last Wednesday, was the mar
riage of Mr. N B Cousar and Miss
Mamie Robinson. At 9 O'Clock
p NJ, the appointed time, at the
home of Mr.. n p Robinson, the
BRIDES father, the peals of the
wedding march sounded forth and
the bridal party entered the beauti-
fully decorated parlo", Mr.. w z
Robinson with Miss Minnie Tay-
lor, MIR. l. & Faulkner with Miss
Pearl Latham, and the BRIDE and
groom elect, the former with her
maid of honor, Miss Ellen Ed
wards of Due West, and the lat
ter with his best man, Mr.. j G.
Reid Of Sardis, n &. The inter.
esting ceremony was performed
by the Rev. r Lee Robinson, as
sisted by the Rev. w g Ewart.
After the ceremony lunch was
served, and reception was given
them at the home the groom's pa
rents that night. The bride was
the recipient of many nice and USE
ful presents.
The groom is one of the most
prominent and highly esteemed
young men of our. county, and his
lovely bride is very popular, be-
ing a young lady of most excel
ent qualities of heart and mind.
We extend to them our best wish :
es. May no cloud bedim the
brightness of their future.

The Approaching Town Election
Our Present Council.

The following, taken from The
Review, commendatory of the out.
going town council, which has
served two terms, is endorsed by
the editor of The Ledger verbatim
ct Iiteratim.
The time is drawing near at
hand when the voters of he town
of Lancaster will have the privi-
lege of selecting their municipal
fathers for the next two years.
An election for that purpose will
be held on the 11th dav of next
month. The present council,
headed by Mayor Thomson, has
given Us such wise, impartial and
successful administration that the
town will do well to retain in of,
hce the old board. Mayor Chom-
son and his aldermen have cer-
tainly proven themselves to he
faithful, efficient and wide awake
public servants. They have done
wonders for this community when
you consider the limited amount
of revenue they have had to oper-
ate upon. When they took charge
of our municipal affairs the town
was in debt. BY practicing econ :
omy and using sound business
methods, they not only paid off
that old Indebtedness, bu. have
managed to meet all current ex>
penses and at the same time make
permanent improvements. A
twelve hundred dollar cemetery
was bought and paid for, all the
old, unsightly bridges removed
and replaced by terra, Gotta pip,
ing; and town lot purchased,
upon which a building is now be
ing erected, to be used as a guard
house, council chamber, etc.
Better order was never kept in
this town than is now being en-,
forced. The council has uniform
ly punished violators of the town S
ordinances without fear or favor,
which has had a most wholesome
effect upon the lawless.
We are confident that the good
people of Lancaster will agree
with us that the old council should
be re. elected.

home, and even the next morning he was
not certain whether he was on a storm
tossed Atlantic liner or making leap from
a balloon minus a parachute. He went
down TO the breakfast table with enough wet
towels wrapped around his head to make
turban for the mahdi. His wife met him
with reproaches in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him OF his
conduct the night before, however

the Americans.

Manila, Sept. 4.-The insurgents made
an unsuccessful attempt early Saturday
morning to drive Col. Smiths command
out of Angeles with artillery, the first
time they attempted to use this arm
for months. They brought two krupp
guns from Porac and fired eight shrap-
nels at the town at dawn. Only few
of the shells exploded, and, the aim of
the gunners being bad, no damage was
done. Lieut.. Kenley's guns of the First
artillery were brought into action i'm
mediately and soon drove the enemy
from their position.
At 4:30 o'clock Sunday morning
small party of insurgents fired on Qua
qua, which is held by two companies OF
the Ninth regiment of infantry, sup
ported by the gunboat Laguna de Bay.
One native resident was wounded. The
enemy was driven off by infantry fire
and the guns of the gunboat.
Manila, Sept. 4.-Argogula, the most
impregnable stronghold of the bands
which have been destroying plantations
and levying tribute on the people of
Negroes, was taken Tuesday by the Sixth
infantry, under Lieut.. Col. Byrne. The
only means of reaching the town was
up an almost perpendicular hill COW
cred with dense shrubbery and 1000
feet high. The Americans accomplished
this under fire, and an officer and sew
eral men were hit and rocks were rolled
down upon them. The native strength
was estimated at 400. Many of the in
surgents were wounded and captured
and u were killed. The American
forces captured quantity of stores and
destroyed the Notifications.
Kobe, Japan, Sept. 4.-rhe United
States transport Morgan City has been
wrecked near a small town called
Onomichi, which is located on the in
land sea. The vessel was bound for Ma
Mia and had nearly 1000 recruits on
board for the American commander in
the Philippines. An urgent dispatch
was received here which asked that pro-
visions be sent Immediately to the point
where the troops were landed from the
ship. The message said that the vessel
had struck rock and had been run
aground in order that the lives of the
soldiers might be saved. No casualties
were reported. Provisions are being
hurried from this city to the scene of
the accident.
