known as Wtligo, the changing the color
of the skin, rs growing more common
among the negroes than formerly, al
though the disease is still very rare
affection. There are said to be at least
half dozen negroes in Charleston with
the milky or white spots in irregular for
nation upon their faces and bodies. The
disease is somewhat of the same nature
as albinism, which prctcrnaturally
whitcns the skin and hair. The negro
affected with vitiligo is Stunned by
many of his own people, who fear that
he has lcprosy or a contagious disease of
the kind, and the affected person natu-
rally attracts attention on account of the
popularity and rarity of the disease

Letter TO w. A. Strother, WalhaIla.

Dear Sir: Some think we take a good
deal of risk in inviting complaints of De-
voc lead-and-zinc--we authorize our
agent 20 sell 1T under this guarantee:
III you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
abont it.
ave authorize him to do what is right
at our expense
The following story tells how little the
risk is:
j ii. Asher e Co., hardware dealers
Rhinebeck, y. Y, have sold Dcvoe from
10 to now; have sold thousands of gal
Ions and have had just one complaint in
all this time.
Three sides of house were perfect;
the fourth was as bad as the three were
good.
EXplanation-It rained the night be.
fore tho fourth side was finishcd and
the painters didn't wait for the wood to
dry?
What is done in such case? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint, con
siders il fair to do. We leave it to him.
He may not do exactly what we should
do If we were there; but we are not
there. The best we can do is to leave it
TO him.
Yours truly,

ideal lndisn.Summer day, and all nature
seemed to smile with radiant beauty
through the bright and varied tints OF
the autumn foliage. The .'ty was astir.

objective point, the center of ttraction,
and as earlya as II. 80 O'Clock tho doors of
the edifice were thrown open, tie people
gathered there. The pulpit and choir
loft had lost their identity, being trans.
formed into bower of beauty; mounds
of luxuriant palm aud ferns, large
vases OF white roses met the eyes of ad-
miration, aud from the depths of this
miniature archadia came the melody OF
sweet sounds from the violin of Miss
Marie Clifford Mingled with the soft
tones of the ripe organ under the skill
full touch of Mrs. George III. Oetzel, TO
the delight OF the assembling guests.
The crowGirg event of this auspicious
day was the marriage of Miss Isabel

Ludie Jordan, holding in their hands
pretty baskets led with beautiful pink
and white rose. Immediately came the

of honor, her sister, Miss Mary Emma
Foster, with measured tread to the
sweet strains of Lohengrin's we'd
ding march, rendered on violin and
organ by Miss Marie Clifford and Mrs.
Oetzel. From the right side entrance
came Rev. A. G. Wardlaw, from the left
came Bishop w. w. Duncan the groom
aud best man, his brother, Capt. Law.
Jordan, and met the bride and attend
ants at the sacred altar, where the beau
tiful and impressive marriage ceremony
was performed. After prayer by
Bishop Duncan aud thu invocation of
divine blessing liz benediStion, the bridal
party in reverse order, I'd the strains of
Mendelsohn's Wedding Aarcb, departed
from the church, going Hp the opposite
aisle. The bride was atEFed in an cle-
CANT gown of white crep} de chine with
imported lace bertha, and her vail was

it hung from the crown of her well
poised head, where caughT and held by

She carried in her hand a bouquet of
white roses. The maid Of honor and
bridesmaids were gowned in white crepe

hats and carried alternately a bunch of
white and pink American Beauty roses.
MIR. and Mrs. Jordan boarded the 2.21

bride wore very handsome travelling
