Mountain Rest Notes.

Mountain Rest. September 2S.-The
weather continues cool. The farmers
are having nice time for saving their
fodder. Some of the farmers are pre-
dioting that there will be just about one
third of crop made this time.
d. Hunt opened school here this
morning, after two weeks vacation.
Quite number of people attended
the baptizing at Bethlehem yesterday,
while some from around here attended
the singing at Long Creek.
W. r. Rankin, wife and little son are
visiting relatives near here.
j. r. Lyles left last Saturday for Spar
tanburg to enter Wofford College again.
j. Il. Lyles visited relatives near
Westminster last Friday night.
Miss Amy Lyles visited friends in
Walhalla Friday and Saturday.
Mrs. Mary Freeman left this morning
for Atlanta to have an operation per.
formed on her eye. She has suffered in
tensely for some time. She was accom-
panied by her son Jesse, who will re-
main with her till she can return.
We hear much talk of the railroad
coming through here now, but of course
we have heard that too often to believe
it now, but wish something would liven
up things little, as there does not seem
to be even any news here now.
We wish the correspondents from the
different sections would write, as we
would like to have the news from over
the county.

Swine Raising on a City Lot.

II. j. Todd, who lives on an acre lot in
Midway, suburb of Walhalla, had three
sows to farrow with thirty-one pigs last
week. Two sows gave birth to ter
pigs each and one to eleven. The pigs
are very fine and all well shaped. The
sire is an eligible Berkshire and the dams
are three-quarters Jersey, about one
becoming noted breeders. Mr.. Todd has
four other sows to farrow in the course
of two months-and all this on an acre
lot. Why can't the farmers of Oconee
raise hogs and make money out of themf
Mr.. Todd has had these sows only since
last April and now they bring thirty lone
pigs, which, say at the low price of 81
each, will net $62. Yet some people say
there is no money in raising pigs. II
least another litter before the end of a
year, which might be said will be actual
profit. With four more sows to farrow
in two months, Mr.. Todd will be able to
start a nice bank account.
Now what farmer is there that is not
able to care for one or two sows2 Be-
sides raising pigs for his own use he
could sell enough to pay for fattening
his pork. What Todd has done and is
the country, and with much more profit
The SOW has been justly termed a
mortgage lifter," and we think goodly
number of the citizens of Oconee had
better try swine raising-at least for q
side line. Pigs are always ready sale
and the day has come when the farmer
does not have to carry them to the mar.
ket-tbe people call at the farm-to sell
them.
1t is pretty sight to see these thirty,
one pigs following til cir respective moth.
ers, and all are welcome to call at Mr.
Todd's lot and see them.

Tho Bryan-Patserson Wedding.

Yesterday at 2 p. M, at the homo OF
the BRIDES aunt, Mrs. III. O. Britton, 201
Ellis street, occurred the marriage OF
Miss Julia Hall Bryan and Mr.. Frederick
l.. Patterson. It was q goldenrod we'd
ding, this beautiful harbinger of autumn
being used in rich profusion throughout
the house. In the parlor the slender
sprays traced themselves over the door
ways and windows and converted the
mantel into garden of golden bloom.
In front OF the west windows q bank of
palms, over which was suspended white
dove, marked the place where the cere-

bridal party. The bride entered with
her matron of honor, Mrs. w. j. Britton.
The maid-of-honor, Miss Josie Lee
Summerall, and Clarence Britton, the
groomsman, entered together ard were
Arthur Benson.
A pretty little sentiment connected
with the ceremony was the wedding ring
which had been moulded from the en-.
gagement and wedding rings of the
brides mother. During the ceremony,
"Hearts and Flowers hoated softly
through the rooms, adding to the sweet
VI LILO OCCttSiOu.
The bride appeared very lovely in her
wedding toilette of heavy blue cloth,
trimmed with dark blue taffeta. The skirt
was sheath-like, and finished about the
bottom with rows of fancy black galloon.
The long coat had a triple cape, lined
with black satin and trimmed with the
galloon. A shirtwaist of white peau de
sole, with transparent collar, was worn
under the coat. A blue beaver felt hat,
shepardess shape with white brim and
crown trimmed in long changeable blue
and green plumes and blue panne velvet,
completed this very stylish and becoming
gown. Brides roses were carried.
The maid and matron of honor wore
lovely frocks of pale blue taffeta with
overdresses of white silk null and lace
with cientures and stocks of blue
bouquets of La France roses. Soft
rosettes, resembling roses, were worn in
the hair, which was arranged low on
the neck.
After congratulations and good wishes
were extended the couple, buffet
luncheon was served, after which Mr.. and
Mrs. Patterson left for Charleston and
be spent. Many costly and elegant pres
ents were showered on the young couple.
A handsome morris chair was sent by
Mr. Patterson's CO. workers in the city
Office.
The bride of yesterday.is the embodi-
ment of all that is charming, sweet and
admirable in a woman. Her unselfish
spirit, genial nature and magnetic per-
sonality has made her universal fa-
vorite. Mr.. Patterson's true worth is
quickly recognized and his fine qualities
have gained for him the esteem and
friendship of the older as we'll as
younger heads. Upon their return
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson will be at homo
to their friends at the residence of Mrs.
Britton.-Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, Sep

Tuesday morning at 8 O'Clock, at the

that morning, intending to go hunting in
the afternoon. He had fred the engine
and went to set his gun in the forks of q
big tree lying in tho yard about sixty
feet from the engine. In setting il
down it seems that he must have struck
it against the side of the tree, thus caus-
ing it to fire. The entire load of shot
entered about the base of the right ear,
tearing off the whole side of his head
No one saw him at the time the shot was
fired, but the report attracted the atton.
