place. The mill people at both places
are anxious and restless, and the pro-
liability is that numbers of them will
leave, and perhaps scatter the disease
over other localities. These places are
dangerously near to Gaffney, and our
town authorities should act, act Ia
once and act vigorously. One hours
delay may entail suffering, sorrow, loss
and decentralization, such as We have
never before known. '''''''''Mr. Z. j.
Hughes and Miss Annie Holmes, two
of Gaffney's most deserving young peo.
pie, plighted their troth last Wednes-
day afternoon at 8 80 o'clock at the
home of the brides brother, MIR. Perry
Holmes. Rev. B. P. Robertson, of the
First Baptist church, performed the
ceremony in the presence of a number
of the friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties. Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes
left on the afternoon train for North
Carolina, where they went to visit rel
atives and friends of Mr.. Hughes.
The groom is one of Gaffney's indus
trious young business men. He came
here from Grover several years ago,
and by strict attention to business has
made himself many friends in a busi-
ness and social way. He is member
of the mercantile firm of Hughes
Bros. The bride is very popular
young lady. She is sister of Messrs.
B. A. and Perry Holmes, and is both
popular and pretty. The happy young
folks have the hest wishes of host OF
friends and acquaintances in their de-
parture upon the sea of matrimony
and wish them a safe and pleasant
voyage.
