bcrton Oh the 1oth. by Mcssrs. NJ. i.
McCalla and j. l.. Allen. The bride
has a number of relatives here and is
very popular with our people. She
was here visiting for several weeks last
summer, and charmed all who met her.
Her husband, Mr.. IIallyburton, is book
keeper for the Cascade mills ut Griffin,

this side of tho Savannah.

Anderson for a few hours Saturday.
Mr.. John G.. Allen and Mrs. B.
Berry Allen drove to Anderson Thurs
day afternoon for short visit,
Miss Bertha White spent Friday,
Saturday and Sunday in Abbeville,
reaching here Monday morning.
A number Of people in and around
town either have the grip or are just
recovering from it. Mrs. o. II. Hester,
several members of Mr.. Marion Car
lisle's family. and almost all of Dir. II.
B. Hutchison's family are in its grasp
now.
Rev. Peter Stokes and bride arrived
here from Early Branch, the home Of
Mr.. Stokes father, on Friday after
noon, and went to Mr. j. r.. Latimcr's,
where they were given a tea by Mrs.
Latimcr. They are now in the par
sonagr, which. thanks to the zeal and
energy of the ladies Of the Parsonage
Aid Society, has been completely trans
formed, and is now very c0zy. Mrs.
Stokes was given warm welcome,
and no doubt will receive Il large share
Of the love and respect that Mr.. Stokes
has inspired in the hearts of his parish
iOners.
DIR. Thomas o. Kirkpatrick and Mr..
j. 4. Latimcr visited Mr.. Jim Clink-
scales at Monterey, Sunday.
While the railroad bridge gang was
1T work on the trestlcs here last week
ono of the men, Lcycrctt, who had
been II consumptivo for several months,
became violently ill, and was sent
down the road Sunday morning. On
Monday evening the gang foreman,
Dir. Mckinley, received telegram
stating that Levcrett was dead. Mr..
Sam. Parncll. q son Of Mr.. Jink Par
nell, joined the force and is now fill
ing the dead mans place.
At the present, Monday afternoon,
the current subject of talk among the
few idlers on tho street is the report
that comes from Latimcr, only seven
miles below here, that there is we'll
developed case of smallpox near the
depot. The patient is said to be ne
gro from Anderson, and rumor says
that doctor from Columbia has ex-
amined him and pronounced it gen.
uine case of smallpox, but in q mild
form. If this is true it is probable
that it will reach Lowndesville, as sew
eral memhere of the -:::scc:a.a section
gang sny that they have been to see
the patient since the beginning Of his
illness, cut CT sheer curiosity to SEQ
how n smallpox victim appears. Num-
bers of others have been 30 foolhardy
as to do the same thing. There are all
kinds of VILE rumors afcat, but par
tic;iiaTs founded ON facts are bard to
get. Most Of omr people not already
vaccinated were vaccinatcd last year,
and these are now congratulating
themselves and getting much comfort
out Of the fact that they are practical
ly immunes.
