A Quiet But Beautiful Home Wedding Last
Evening.

One of the prettiest home weddings
that has occurred IN this city recently
took place las; Wednesday evening at
the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Stansill, where we're celebrated the
nuptials Of their eldest daughter, Miss
Ida, and Mr.. j. G. r. Wilder.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stansill had planned
to give large and beautiful wedding
reception for their daughter, but two
bereavements in the family within the
last two weeks, caused them to change
their plans and have only quiet cere-
mony, with tile two immediate fami-
lies present; these alone making
about thirty present. The ceremony
was performed by DR.. @. G. Brown,
Of the First BAPTIST Church.
The decorations of the parlors and
dining room were very beautiful in
their quiet simplicity, consisting OF
lovely ferns and pure white flowers in
artistic arrangement. The pretty i'm
provised altar of glistsning green and
snowy white, formed a lovely back
ground for the bride in her queenly
beauty. Very lovely did she look
in her trailing bridal robes of ezquis-
ite organdie, lace, and chiffon, over
white tafet,! silk. She was attended
by her young sister, Miss Alma, in
pale blue silk null with wide sash
of dresden ribbon and garnitures OF
rich creamy lace.
The bridegroom, Mr.. Wilder, wore
the conventional attire, and the genial
smile on his handsome face, attested
the happiness that Was overfowing IN
his heart.
The wedding supper was spread on
two long tables in the dining room. 1t
was delightful and abundant and de-
lightfully served. The BRIDES table
being in pure white, the other wear
ing it's color decorations of pink roses.
p In one room were displayed the we'd
ding presents, which formed glitter
ing array OF costly cut glass, silver and
china, togtter with many useful and
decorative articles, to adorn and beau
tify the home they will soon begin
making for themselves.
There is no more popular and we'll
loved coupl5 in this city than MI. and
Mrs. Wilder; they have come up from
childhood, and grown up to manhood
and womanhood, admired by every
body, for their beautiful traits OF char
acter, their lovable. and happy disposi--
tioas, always with a bright smile and
good word for verybody; and hosts
of friends will shower on them their
best wishes and heartfelt congratula-
tions. They left on the $50 train for
their wedding trip, going by the way
of Columbia; their destination known
only to themselves, and it is surmised
that somewhere in the Gland Of the
SKYE the honeymoon will be spent
They will oe at home after July 1st at
Mr.. Wilder:s, on Kendrick Avenue,
where they will be cbar,ned to receive
their many friends aud acquaiatances.

On last Thursday evening, as the
wedding hour approached, select and
joyous company could be seen gathering
into the elegant home OF Mr.. and Mrs:
W. f. Rhame to witness the marriage OF
their youngest daughter, Miss Beulah,
to Mr.. George W. Hutcheson.
The rich display Of bridal presents
Joined with the beautiful decorations
to present scene Of rare beauty.
At the scand of music two doors
were seen slowly opening into the par
lor guided by the hands of Miss Ma
mic DuPre and Master Earnest Rhame.
From the one issued the handsomely
attired bride, on the arm of her cous-
in, Miss May Barrett, Of Athens, Ca,
while from the other appeared the
groom. accompanied by his best man,
Mr.. Claude Lesesne, of Sumter.
Meeting in front of the BRIDES pastor,
DR.. C. G. Brown, of Sumter, the mu-
tual vows of the happy pair were
quickly sealed, the blessing of Heaven
invoked upon their onward way, and
the usual shower of kisses and con-
gratu1ations began.
With wondrous order and dispatch
the seated company were delightfully."-
served with various and delicious re-
freshments. But time and trains wait
for NO man; they must HE them away
or be left. Quickly the fearful and
happy farewells are exchanged and the
gladstone party are of for che depot.
And so another of Sumter's most
beautiful and well ordered home we'd
dings had passed into history.
In few weeks Mr.. and Mrs
Hutcheson will "be at home" to their
friends in Sumter.

A Gotten bloom from the farm Q:
Mr.. E. Hogan was received at thi:
Office today.
a telephone message received yester

been severe hail storm in the Jordan
neighborhood, a few miles west oi

injured.

there was unnecessary delay in send
ing il the alarm Of fire on the morn-
ing Of the 18Th instant, ,1Ehen the boil

plant was burned. They find that the
ouly DELAY at all was due to the mis-
take of the persons sending IN the
alarm who called up the police alarm
station instead of the reel houses and
that in this waY few minutes were
lost. The alarm was sent in at o.

Commencement of St. joseph's Academy

The forty-frst commencement exer-
else of that time honored institution
Of learning, st. Joseph's Academy Of
Sumter, were held last evening in the
Opera House.
AS usual upon such occasions the
Opera House was packed with the
friends of the academy; and the rela
tives and friends of the students.
Standing room was at premium.
Many of the ladies present attended
st. Joseph's Academy thirty to forty
years ago, and indeed many who were
present last evening had the pleasure
of seeing their children occupying the
places which they had filled years be-
fore. Owing to the fact that the Off
cial program was not obtainable in
time for full publication; it is impos-
sible at this writing to do justice in
detail to the magnificent program rem
dered. The entire commencement ex-
ercises from start to finish, we're in
line with the usual annual exercises !;
and in many instances surpassed those
Of former years. And when this is
said, it is sufficient, for every one
knows what treat it is to attend the
commencement exercises of st. Jo-
seph's Academy A large number of
those in attendance were from various
parts of the State. The good Sisters
of Our Lady of Mercy have every rea-
son to feel proud of the fine showing
made by their devoted and we'll train
ed students. There was not hitch
at any time; and every one who par
ticipated in the exercises, from the
beautiful, dignifed, sweet girl gradu-
ates, down to the cute little tots of
girls, exhibited signs of special train
ing so peculiarly characteristic of St.
Joseph's Academy. Special mention
should be made Of some of the num-
bers on the program; and of the fine
work of some of the young ladies'.
But it is impossible at this writing to
do so for unavoidable reasons. The
vocal solos; the singing by the entire
school; and the instrumental music,
were all above the average. The salu-
tatory and valedictory were eloquent
tributes to the intellectal training re-
ceived by the fair graduates who COM
posed and delivered them. The entire
graduating class is credit to St. Jo-
seph's Academy.
The costumes of the evening were
superb, and displayed fine taste. The
drills we're wonderful and it is re-
markable how students can be so we'll
trained in the various complicated
manouvres, in such a short time.
The annual commencement exercises
of this school are looked forward to
with pleasant anticipation year after
year by hundreds of people, not only
in Sumter, but from all over the
State. No one was disappointed last
evening.
St. Joseph's Academy is an institu
tion of which all Sumter, and the
State is proud. Time has no i'll effects
upon this institution; but indeed as
the years rcll by it grows in the love
and good wishes of our people and
continues its career Of usefulness.
The address of Right Reverned Il.
P. Nortbrop, Bishop of South Carroll
Ia, wes listened to with much pleas
ure; and was interesting to the audi
erce, and rerlete with gocd advice to
the entire school, particularly to the
graduating class.

Is This a "HOodoo" Year?

1ne year 1904 has started off very badly in the way of great disasters. and more, even greater than those we have already had, are promised by people who look into the future If you care to be on the safe side you had better read what these seers have to say of the present year. A painter of portraits is always interesting, espe- cially when his work receives the sanc~ tion of such notable persons as the pope and many society people. II. Jones Thaddeus of London, who is in New York at present, is probably the foremost painter of people to-day, and a very interesting specimen of his work will be seen in next Sundays World. Easter is almost here, and you will be interested in knowing what the very latest and smartest nov cities for women are to be. The model modern house Is fitted with hospital room that you ought to know all about What is the greatest triumph of me chanical art? The modern battleship, some say. You can make up your own mind after reading some things about it. A young mans life ambition has just been blighted by the loss of q fin- ger. You will sympathize with him. These are only few Of the subjects treated in the Sunday Worlds Maga- zine for the coming Sunday. You should order it in advance.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-03-10

The republicans have been filling the local offices to which they were elected last October for little more than two months, and to all appearances they are giving pretty general satisfaction. To be sure the upturning Of the police department by the new safety board created some consternation, and left a few sore spots, but on the whole the new administration acts as though it wanted to conduct the city's business in an economical and capable manner. At this time we desire to remind the present office holders, the good govern ment fellows, the alliance reformers and the butters-in generally, that if they will Keep up to the standard of their democratic predecessors there will be no kick coming from anyone. It must be source Of pleasure and pride to the democrats who vacated the offices January to know that their work stands for itself, and inves- tigation proves that they were thor ough and painstaking officials. Several experts have been In and around City hall since the democrats went out, but the old building and its contents have been found intact and in the best pos sible condition. II think ought to congratulate you and the town of Wa terbury on the fine condition in whic4 lind the records of the town. The books are in excellent condition ,'' wrote Charles R, Hathaway, an ex- pert examiner of public records, the other day, after an examination. This is a big feather in the caps of F. c, Kilduff. Frank r. Brett, M. J. Ryan, M. D. Russell and tue other demo. crats who were at the helm. It is only few months ago since some of the would-be reformers would have us believe that the City hall was a hot bed of rottenness. and that the future welfare of the city hinged on the last election. The democrats of the last administration can be excused if they feel a grain Of pride in their work, after the indersement 1t has received from Expert Hathaway and others. If the present o-4cials go out of office with as good an endorsement the sev- eral good government clubs and alli- ances will be out of a job. We con- gratulate the ex-office holders of the democratic party who went out of office January l, and assure them that the record they have left behind will be of benefit if they again seek the votes of the democratic party.
