or Less Local Interest.
YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, November $a< The
marriage Of Mr.. Mack Starnes and
Miss Hazelton Whitesides, at the home
Of the bride Thursday evening, was a
lovely home wedding. The only at
tendants were Miss jamie Whitesides,
sister of the bride, and Mr.. Hope
Starnes, brother Of the groom. The
reception that night at the home Of
Mr. c. r. Starnes was brilliant af-
fair and was largely attended, many
being present from town. The supper
was a grand feast. During the even
ing there was dancing and song and
the enjoyment was unconfined.....
Having changed her mind suddenly on
her welding eve, on Tuesday last,
pretty Miss Cowand, who was a belle
in Windsor, N. c., forsook the BRIDE
groom to-be and became the wife Of
Mr.. Lloyd Mitchell, of Ahoskie, N. c.,
the son Of DR.. J. H. Mitchell. Now
social circles in the two towns are
greatly stirred and everybody wants
to know the reason. A recent affair
has demonstrated that severe pen
atty must be enforced against the
man who deserts his sweetheart; now
what shall be done with the girl who
trifles with her sweethearts affections?
DIR. Bays furnishes us the follow
ing facts in connection with his second
years work on the district: There has
been S31 accessions to the church. The
amount raised on church and parson-
age debts during the year is about
$4,000. One new church has been COM
pleted and another is nearly finished.
A number Of churches have been
painted and remodeled. The collec-
tions on salaries and benevolences will
be the best the district has ever made.
Mrs. Ike McFadden, who has
been quite sick at the home Of Mr.. w.
H. Wylie, for the past week, Is now
much better and was able to return to
her home at Smiths Turnout, Thurs
day morning. Mrs. Eliza Jane Nc
Fadden, widow of the late Ralph Nc
Fadden, Of Chester county, died in this
city Wednesday afternoon at the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. E. F. Dilling-
ham, after a weeks serious illness Of
bronchial pneumonia. I'VE have just
been informed of the death Of Mr.. w.
]. Hough, whose home was In Ashe-
VILE. His death occurred last Friday
from the effects Of fever. He was
about 40 years Of age and leaves wife
and three children. Deceased was the
oldest son Of our townsman, Mr.. ]. c.
Hough. The west side of Main
street had a narrow escape from a
very destructive fire Thursday night.
At about 10 o'clock fire was discov-
cred in the cook room Of Sadler's res
taurant and an alarm went in. The
fire burned with fury within and was
not long in climbing to the Catawba
Rifles armory above, where the flames
spread with terrible rapidity. The fire
department responded as promptly as
possible and in a short time had the fire
under control, though 1t took some
time to entirely subdue the flames.
The building belongs to Major A. H.
White. It was considerably damaged
by flames and water; but the loss Is
covered by insurance. Mr.. Sadler's
loss is not known. He had his fixtures
and goods insured for $3.50 and 1t Is
probable this amount will cover the
damage. Mr.. S. T. Frew moved his
stock Of undertaker's goods out Of the
building; but before doing so they
were already damaged by water and
he sustained loss by handling. all Of
which Is covered by insurance. Post
master Poag and his force succeeded
by hard work in getting the mails,
mailbags, ETC., and all the office ap-
pointments to places Of safety. What
ever loss there may be Is covered by
insurance. When the fire had been en-
tirely subdued. Mr.. Poag and his force
moved everything back into his Office,
and next morning Uncle Sans busi-
ness was going on as smooth as II
nothing had happened. The chairs
and stage scenery in the armory were
damaged, some Of the latter being
burned; but an insurance policy COW
ers it all. Mr.. Sadler left his restau-
rant and went to his home at an early
hour and does not know how the fire
could have originated, unless 1t was
from the stove in the cook room, in
which there were some GOALS. "A
very mysterious murder occurred near
Van Wyck, just across the river in
Lancaster county, at an early hour
Thursday morning. Polly McKenna,
colored, was the wife Of Pelham Nc
Kenna, colored. but on account Of the
woman's dissolute character, Pelham
has not been living with her. Polly
spent the night before at the home Of
her sister at Van Wyck, leaving the
next morning before daylight. About
an hour afterwards the woman's dead
body was found in a deep cut on the
Seaboard Airline railroad about one
mile north Of Van Wyck. Examina-
tion Of the body disclosed the fact that
the woman had been killed by licks
on her head, evidently with stick,
and later it developed that the murder
had been committed while the woman
Was walking ON the annha nknent
