man or the particulars Of the death.
On investigation the most reasonable
conclusion we can arrive at is that the
unfortunate man was drunk and got
down on the road and froze. A jug Of
liquor was by his side and also an emp
ty laudanum bottle. The verdict Of the
coroners jury was, that Hezekias Eas-
ter came to his death from an unknown
cause. >. Mr.. Ira Patterson, while off
on a big deer hunt, gained nearly a
pound each day he was out; and now
his neighbors, who ought to know, say
his rations at home were short or he
could not have done this. .... Mr.. John
wilkins, the popular manager Of the
company store Of the Southern Cotton
mills, at Bessemer, was happily mar
ried to Miss Leona Lynch, Of Ruther-
fordton, on Wednesday Of last week,

Lantern, February /: The Daughters
Of the Confederacy will give series Of
entertainments to raise funds for a
Confederate monument. Several dona-
tions have been promised on conditions,
and the daughters propose to do their
part in fulfilling those conditions. They
will give an entertainment Of a very
amusing character the second week in
February. :. Mrs. c. B. Oliver died on
the Goth Of January at the home Of her
daughter, Mrs. Spigener, in Talladega.
Ala. Mrs. Oliver was a native Of Ches-
ter, and a sister Of the late Colonel Jno.
A. Bradley. She left Chester when a
little girl to accompany her mother
and brother, DR.. A. @. Bradley, to Mar
ion, Ala. There she married Mr.. Muir
rel Oliver and resided until her hus-
bands death. Since then she has made
her home with her daughter in Tale
dega, where she died.. Mr.. B. A.
Ragsdale, who was here yesterday, said
he did not think a furrow had been
plowed about Rossville, since Christ
mas. He doesn't think there has been
more than one day that ordinary land
was in condition to plow.. One r. H.
Atwell, who has been working about
the railroad shops, went into one of
our clothing stores Wednesday and
asked to see suit Of clothes A suit
was shown him, worth about $12, which
seemed to please him. He said he
would take the clothes to his room and
try them on, and If he liked the fit he
would take them. It is presumed that
the fit pleased him; at least he took
them. He got on such a strut that
Chester was too small for him and he
made for Rock Hill. He probably
would have gone on the freight train,
but was 80 proud Of his new clothes
that he could not wait, and started on
foot. The merchant, having found
where he could get striped suit that
would fit better, hurried after him to
make the exchange; but could not
overtake him. On Wednesday even
ing, Jan. 23d, at half past o'clock, an
unusually pretty wedding took place in
the Presbyterian church at Richburg,
when the Rev. Joseph T. Dendy, of
Kershaw, and Miss Kate brennan were
united in the holy bonds Of matrimony.
The church was beautifully decorated.
Graceful festoons of white satin rib
bon, entwined with evergreen, were
suspended from the ceiling to stately
white Corinthian columns in front Of
the pulpit, and formed beautiful arch
es from the centre Of which hung two
hearts pierced by an arrow, under
which the ceremony was performed.
At the rear of the pulpit were banks Of
graceful palms and waving ferns taste
fully arranged. Mrs. Watt Brice, of
Chester, presided at the organ and rem
dered Mendelssohn's Wedding march
with rare skill. The ushers preceded
the bridal party into the church and
formed arches over each aisle with
wands Of white. After the attendants
had taken their places, the bride enter
ed, leaning on the arm Of her brother,
Rev. F. A. brennan, and the groom
came in on the arm Of the Rev. w. j.
Wyly, his best man. They were met at
the pulpit by the Rev. ]. H. Wilson,
who performed the ceremony in a most
impressive manner assisted by Rev.
Chalmers Frazer, Of Lancaster I'm
mediately after the ceremony a recep-
tion was given the party at the home
of the bride, and at 9 o'clock the happy
shaw. Miss Sadie Dunlap, Of York
vile. was maid of honor. The other
bridesmaids were Miss Clara Belle
Whitesides, Of Richburg; May With
erspoon, Of Lancaster; Della Atkinson,
Of Richburg; and Lillian Crawford, Of
Chester. The groomsmen were, Dr.
Halle, Of Kershaw; Rev. r. F. Kirk
patrick, Of Winnsboro; and DR.. Twit-
ty, Of Kershaw. The bridesmaids all
wore white organdy and each one car
ried a wax taper. The ushers were
Messrs. S. M. brennan, Of Chester;
John Smith, Of Glover; Beatty, of Lam
caster; and Stevens, OF KershaW. The
bride wore a handsome white brocade
silk dress, trimmed with pearls, and the
veil was tastefully caught up with or
ange blossoms. In her hand she car
ried bouquet Of exquisite white car
nations. The presents were both nu-
merous and handsome, attesting the
wide popularity Of the fortunate cou-
pie. Inc groom is the popular young
pastor of the Presbyterian church, at
Kershaw, while the bride combines
those graces Of person and character
that have made her host of friends
and we'll fit her to adorn any sphere
in life.
