YORK.
Rock Hill Herald, April 5: The school
at Ogden, which has been under the
personal care and attention of Miss
Leila Leslie, closed Wednesday with
very satisfactory results to both pupils
and patrons. .. Mrs. w. G. Neville
and sons, Wyatt, William and John, Of
Yorkville, visited relatives and friends
in the city this week. Wednesday
DR.. John II. Simpson, of Hickory Grove,
returned from a visit to his daughter,
Mrs. r. T. Hawkins, at Clifton Forge,
Va, and from his old congregation In
Monroe and Greenbrier counties, w.
Va. He left that field more than ten
years ago and this was his first visit
since his return to South Carolina.
The mountains, he says, looked famil-
lar and the old homes were with
out noticeable change, but the faces
of his friends showed the ravages
of times effacing fingers, and he
failed to recognize many except by
their voices. He says he found no
change in this resnect-voices Of all
whom he knew being the same as when
he moved among them as their pastor;
wherefore he is constrained to think, as
he has felt before, that a mans hear
ing Is of more pleasure and perhaps
more value to him than his sight. He
saws he has wondered if when we 90
to heaven, glorious in angelic bodies,
we will not recognize each other only
the better by our voices. There Is, he
says, no other individualism about
man or woman that is so entirely per-
sonal 8 the voice; the same today and
all the time; without change; that we
may sometimes be deceived in the form
or walk, be mistaken in the face, but
the voice is a never-failing guarantee
of recognition. DR.. Simpson LETT

emnized at the home Of the brides
parents on last Wednesday morning at
8 o'clock. The parlors were simply,
but beautifully decorated with vioiets

pointed for the ceremony the rooms
were crowded with the friends and
well-wishers of this popular young
couple. The grand and melodious, yet
familiar strains of Mendelssohn's We'd
