Mrs. Mary MCGOWAN Young, wife
OF Mr.. bucket Young, died at her
home at Cross Hill, S. O., on Dec. Sth,
1901, in the twenty-third year of her
age. This beautiful Christian died as
she had lived, gentle, loving aud be-
loved, yet so firm and steadfast in the
faith in her Lord, that she never fall
tered in her daily walk in the straight
and narrow path. 1t seems to me that
seemed perfectly natural for her to
scatter sunshine as she went. Pleas
ant words and sweet smiles were always
on her lips, and she proved to the
world that q consistent child of God
had a right to be happy. Although so
young she had made a noble record as
a woman of high Christian character,
talented, we'll educated, refined, and
beautiful in person and mind. 1t
seems to us short-sighted mortals a
strange dispensation of providence
that she should be taken from her
devoted young husband and sweet
lutte nome, where there we're unus-
happiness.
On her t%wenty-frst birthday she was
happily married to q noble young man,
Mr.. bucket Young, of Ninety Six.
But little more than a year Of bliss was
granted them, when the "Reaper
who name Is Death" came and took
for his own the dear babe ere it saw
the light. Sweet Mary never recov
cred. In vain the tender husband,
mother, sister and friends lavished
upon her every attention, but she
faded, and again the relentless reaper
came and took the more precious
flower to bloom in the Masters gar
den.
Dear friends, has he not a right to
u fairest and best? Weep not poor,
broken-hearted husband; dear crushed
old mother, who has borne so many
sorrows without murmuring; dear
sister and brother dim not your eyes
with tears of selfish sorrow, but look
Heavenward for the reckoning hand
that Mary extends, calling you up
higher.
Beautiful %toiier, thy work all done:
Beautiful soul into glory gone;
Beautiful life with it's crown now
worn;
God giveth the rest!
crest from all sorrow and watching
and fears;
Rest from all possible signing and
tears;
Rest through Gods endless wonder
fUl years;
A home with the blest!"

A Beautiful Wedding.

Wednesday evening, December 18th,
at $50 O'Clock, a large crowd gathered
at the home OF MI. NJ. L.. Mahaffey to
witness the solemn and beautiful
ceremony OF the marriage OF his young.
est daughter, Miss Daisy Temperance
Mahaffey, to Mr.. II. Walter Nash, the
popular editor of the Bolton Times.
The psrlor was beautifully decorated
with pinks end other flowers, which
were gracefully festooned from ceiling
to floor, whore palms aud evergreens
were placed to complete the loneliness
OF the scene. An arch, made of ever
green's mingled with flowers, and bear
ing the initials OF the bride and groom,
was suspended from the center of the
room. Vases and wreaths of hand
some flowers added their charms.
Truly, the sight was n long to be
remembered.
Immediately following the first
strains OF the wedding march, played
by Miss Mary Nash, sister of the
groom, the maids of honor, Misses
Rosa Babb and Lille Nash, attired in
exquisite costumes of Nile-green vene-
tian cloth, announced the coming of
the bridal pair. Carrying dainty
bouquets OF white flowers, they grace
fully. entered the room, separating
just before they reached the center.
Then followed the bride and groom,
who, standing beneath the arch with
the initial letters, pledged their lives
to- be one in the presence of many
friends.
The bride was magnifoently gowned
In white organdie, trimmed in white
ribbon, with a bouquet Of white flowers
in her hair.
The numerous presents received
will remind Mr.. and Mrs. Nash of the
kind regard Of their many friends
here and elsewhere.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev w. W. Ruff, pastor OF the Pres
byterian Church OF FairvIew.
Shortly after the ceremony, the
guests were invited into a spacious
dining-room, where a sumptuous sup.
per was served to the large crowd OF
friends present.
The following day the writer
had the pleasure of accompanying the
guests to the home of the groom's
father Mr.. Jas. B. Nash, where a
reception was rendered the young
couple. 1t vas q very pleasant occa-
sion, and one long to be remembered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nash will leave in a
few days for Bolton, where they ex.
pect to make their home In the future.
We extend to them our c~ongratula-
lions, and may theirs be a long and
happy life.

In view of the almost entire failure
of the corn crop In the State, in some
counties the suggestion is made that,
farmers torn clubs and order from the
West In large quantities. There might
be some advantage in this where far
mers have the cash. But it is we'll
known, that corn, wheat, oats, flour
and food crops are substantially cash
articles. We have observed that in
some cases public meetings have been
called. THE ADVERTISER however,
thinks that there is no necessity for
public meetings. Our provision mer-
chants, over the entire county are a

Venezuela are for damages sustained

When Great Britain and Germany
agreed upon a common course of action
toward Venezuela, Italy thought to join

reality destined for Venezuela. Other

TWO FIRES IN HARTFORD.
One Causing SIS, 900 damage, the Other
$4,000.

Hartford, Dec. 14.-One of the most
stubborn fires that the local department
has had to deal with In year broke out
at 1880 tonight in cellar under the
cafe Of William Donahue at 1O45 Main
street, in the building owned by Dona-
hue and Joseph Kennedy. The fire
worked upstairs and into the building
occupied by the Needham Pharmacy
company at 1O49 Main street and from
there it went to the store occupied by
Thomas Duffey, just north of the drug
store. The blaze proved so stubborn
that the entire department was called
out and it was early morning before the
flames were checked. Tenants num-
bering about seventy-five persons, liv-
ing on the upper floors of the building,
were driven out into the cold and were
forced to seek shelter in nearby build
ings. The loss is estimated at $4,000.
Hartford, Dec. 14-The plant of the
Hartford Woven Wire Mattress COM
pany was damaged by fire this morning
to the extent of about $4,000. The orr
gin of the fire is unknown. The entire
foundry department, with it's contents,
was destroyed. A newly constructed
addition to the plant will be utilized i'm
mediately and will prevent many men
being thrown out of work. Lieutenant
Governor-elect Henry Roberts is con-
nected with the firm.

Miners Expected go Close Their Case
To-day OF Tomorrow.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 14.-The mine
workers. who have been engaged in
presenting their side Of the controversy
with the anthracite coal operators to
the anthracite coal striek commission
for about twenty days, will close their
case either tomorrow or Tuesday.
That is their present programme. They
have a considerable number of wit
nesses, among them some young silk
mill girls they desire to be heard. The
miners may, however, continue to pre-
sent witnesses until President Mitchell,
who has gone to his home in Illinois,
for few days, returns, so that he can
be on hand when the operators open
their case.
The companies hope to be able to
start their side Immediately after the
miners close. Former Congressman
Simon P. Wolverton. leading counsel
for the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company, will make the
opening address for all the large COM
panies and possibly the independents
also. After the opening statement,
witnesses will be called by each COM
pany.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Msnister Bow
en-. in despatch received by the state
department this afternoon, cabled that
he had been Informed by President
Castro that British and German war
ships were bombarding Puerto Cabello.
In an earlier despatch received by the
state department at 1922 o'clock Sun
day morning, Minister Bowen said that
the situation at the Venezuelan capt.
tai Caracas, was much quieter. The
great excitement noted at the outset
of the affair, he said, was caused by
the precipitate fight Of the British and
German ministers, the arrest of all the
subjects of those two nations and the
seizure of the Venezuelan gunboats
without first declaring blockade, thus
causing the people to fear a lombard
ment would follow at once.
