The Barton.S chaldt Weddinu.

This took place at the parsonage of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wal
halla, s. c., June Goth, 1902, at about two
O'Clock p. m. 1t was an impressive
scene. Among the decorations the
sprinkling of ferns over the curtains was
especially neat and effective. Ranged
around the room were the members of
the two families. Mr., and Mrs j. T.,
Barton, Mr.. Ed. Barton and his sisters.
Nellie and Lucy, had come up from An
derson for this occasion. Near the
North window stood the couple to be
married, Mr.. Walter r. Barton, son of
Mr.. j. K. Barton, and Miss Lucy Pauline,
oldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. j. G.
Schaidt. Near the center stood the two
clergymen, the father of the bride and
Rev. o. j. Copeland, a personal friend of
the groom. TO be married by two min
listers of so high standing is rare privi-
lege. Each took part of the ceremony,
after which came the good wishes, din.
ner and departure on the train. And the
rice throwing! A certain man came up
from the depot about O'Clock and said: |:
"If had that rice at home it would do
my family a.month." Our best wishes
are extended to the young and happy
couple on the voyage of life together.

Items from Hopewell.

June 30.-The topic for conversation
in our community is the traction en-
gines and road machines lately purchased
by our Commissioners. They are all
anxious to see them at work. They say
they can't understand how they will
manage the traction engines over our
narrow roads, and say the majority of
horses will not pass them. Don't under
stand, now, that they are grumbling at
progress. Anything for better roads.
We recommend Mr.. w. d. Stribling,
mail carrier on r. F.. D. No. a, and Mr.
Jesse Sanders for engineers. They are
the only ones we know of having expert
ence with traction engines.
We are now having some very hot, dry

this life last Friday and was buried at
the cemetery at Hopewell on Saturday.

bedside and asked them to meet her in
that land whore there is no more parting.

self for her."

The Lawn Party a Success.

The lawn party given by the Walhala
Silver Cornet Band last night was a
marked success. There was good num-
Der of people present, who enjoyed the
unusually palatable and delicate ices, etc.,
which were served by corps of pretty
young ladies. The music by the band
was good, and it is gratifying to krrw
that its members have made such rapid
progress. A month or more only, and
Walhalla's band will be furnishing as
good music as any band in the State.
Several cornet solos by Mr.. Newman, of
New York, were particularly enjoyable
feature of the program. Mr. Newman is
an excellent musician, having spent sew
eral years as member of one of New
York's large Orchestras. Financially the
party wcs success also. The boys real
lied over $1,000 for the benefit of the
band. They desire to extend thanks to
all, especially to the ladies who 80 kindly
assisted them and generously contributed
to the supply of refreshments.

New Issue OF Municipal Bonds.

On July 1st the Town Council can
celled all of the outstanding six per cent
Blue Ridge Railroad bonds and issued a
new series of refunding bonds at five per
cent. The amount of the new issue was
SO, 10000. DR.. John Wickliffe, of West
Union, pusohased the greater part of
these bonds, and the remainder found
ready takers. The bonds run until July
1st, 1917, but the Town Council reserves
the privilege to retire a given number
each year if SO desired. The refunding
at lower rate of interest will be the
means of considerable saving during
the life of the bonds. The bonds were
printed at the The Courier office-the
first time this class of work has been
attempted in Walhalla.

gone that her eyes were closed up and
her body bloated till it was purple.
After everything else had failed
Dodd's Kidney Pills were used and to
the joy and surprise of everyone she
commenced to improve.
This improvement resulted in com
p1ete good health and she continues to
keep strong and we'll and without the
slightest symptom of the Dropsy left.
The doctors are as mucn Dewildered
as anyone at the wonderful cure of
this desperate case.
