Cupid Doings.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
Late Monday the 18th instant,
the gloominess of the rainy evening
was dispelled by the announcement
of the marriage ceremony of Miss
Matte Huffman, formerly of Lexing-
ton, but now of Newberry, to Mr..
John Morgan, Of Anderson, S. G,
which took place in Newberry.
The ceremony was witnessed by
only a few very intimate friends, in
cluding Mr.. David H. Clark, of Lex
ington, and Prof. W. W. Hickman, of
Iowa.
The officiating clergyman was the
Rev. Burton, of this city, who in very
fitting words, solemnly pronounced
them man and wife at 7:30 p. M, at
the home of the brides mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan left for An
derson where they intend making
their future home.
Mr.. Morgan is certainly to be con-
graduated in securing Miss Matte for
q companion in the journey of life.
She is fondly attached to her parents,
her home and her church.
She is the darling of her parents,
the pride of her home and expended
much Of her spare time in church
and charity work. Newberry's loss
is Andersons gain. Fob.

Board Of Commerce.

The business men of Columbia
have organized a Chamber of Com
merce in that city. This is an step
in the right direction and in keeping
with the progress of the times. For
the want of such an organization
Columbia has suffered a large vol
ame of business to ind market in
other cities not so favorable situated
or possessing the eonveniences and
facilities for handling business as
does Columbia. There is no earthly
reason why it should not command
the iobbing business of the State, if
earnest and persistent efforts were
made and liberal inducements offer
cd for it. It is the centre of the
State; has unexcelled transportion
facilities by land and will soon have
!
splendid ones by water; it's mer-
chants are progressive and enterpris..
ing, and its natural advantages are
acknowledged to be far superior to
those of her rival sisters, but there
was one thing lacking to make her the
tsQaeen City of the South and that
one thing needful was the thorough
organization Of its business men SO
that intelligent and systematic work
could be mapped out, Che accomplish
ment of which would bring perma-
nsnt prosperity and satisfactory re-
suits.

childsaa's Day Exercises.

Te the Editor of the Dispatch:
Bright and early last Saturday, as
God was calling man to duty, we
found ourselves rapidly moving about
doing our usual morning, work and
when that was completed we imme-
diately began to dress ourselves and
in short while we were on our way
to Mt. Pleasant, where Children's
Day exercises were to take place. It
was amazing to as to see how people
did gathered there and what a large
audience had congregated so early.
At this time it was 1890, and the
audience was called to order and the
programme was taken up.
The first on the programme was
an address of welcome, the delivery
Of which made the strangers feel as
if they were at home and among
home people. It's language was
beautiful, breathing forth a spirit of
hearty welcome and delivered with
an earnestness that carried sincerity
with the words from the lips that
convinced all that they were at home.

by Jonnie Ballentine. the Secretary
of the Sunday school.
z Then came q defamation by Mary
Balientine which was we'll received,
then came the smallest boy in the ex-
ereises, Eugene Long. Eight more
of the small boys and girls followed
with declamations, which were nicely
delivered.
Now the pretty march took place,
ALI the small children marched
around the altar and carried their
sheaves, while the choir sang; Bring
ing in the shaeves. At the close of
shis there came two boys and two
girls with declarations, which were
we'll written and equslly well deliv-
cred. We would like to give
the names of all the above boys
and girls who spoke and also the
subject of their speeches, but neither
time nor space will permit. I trust
that they will not think hard of the
writer for omitting their names.
Two more subjects came up in the
form Of declamations and were well
