A Charming Home Wedding.

The morning of Feb 9ih dawned
crisp and chilly, with every tree,
shrub and NIL the pavements and
streets of Lancaster encrusted an
slittering ice, presenting strik-
ing and sparkling effect.
The residence of Mr. l. Cass
I tPayseur was centre of attraction
for it was the wedding day of Miss
Una Hudson Payseur and Mr.
Forrest Boswell, of Virginia, for
whose nuptlals nature seemed to
have donned her purcst and bright
est attire.
The handsome and. well ap-
pointed home was entranciug as
the wide doors swung open to adj
init the stream of guests, who
braved all weather in order to he
present.
The entire first foor was thrown
together by means of sliding
doors. In the reception hall a
cherry wood fire bluzeC in the
ample fireplace: and from the
corners of the ceiling ropes of
evergreens depended and were
caught in the middle of the hall
by an artistic, heiiotrope colored
bell, finished with II heauti.ul
snow hall clapper. The parlors
and library were similarly festoon-
ed. The broad oukon staircase
was draped in white and decorut-
ed with leaves of living evergreen.
In the front parlor the marriage
altar was erected, back IN the
oriel, in the west end of the
room. 1t was white aud dalntily
adorned with vines and flowers.
On either side were stands of
luxuriant plants, the background
was INN ense palms Every where
the decorations we're elaborate and
artistic. The rooms were darken-
ed and lighted with red and cream
colored candles in fine old branch
ing candelnbra, which dffused a
dreamy, and pleasing glow over
tic festive scene. !.
At one O'Clock the strains of
Memberships wedding march
sounded from the back purlor and
soon the bridal party began TO
approach moving slowly down
the grand stairway. First cam.

altar and were united in holy we'd

Is Prohibition a Snccess.

We leave this for the people of the
localities interested to decide, while
we will try to induce those who use it
for sickness or Tor family use il any
way, to use pure whiskey. The kind
that does the least harm and the most
good. We don't suppose there ever
was or will be a person but who would
want pure whiskey if he could get it,
and yet, the impure article has been
sold so much and claims SO often made
that it was pure that some people do
not know the article orguallfcations Of
the genuine taste.
Convenience again causes some to
be careless in ordering their whiskey.
They either imagine they wifi not get
their orders filled promptly or that we
are too far away to give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we de-
liver goods in the south as promptly
as to local points, and we make aspec-
ialty of shipping all orders promptly
on the first train.
During the last three months we have
endeavored to give the readers of this
paper few facts concerning whiskey,
to guide them in its use and buying
We have already received magnificent
results, and are particularly pleased
with our part of the advertising, and
should there be anyone who would
like for US to go more into details, we
will give them all the information they
desire if they will write us.
Let us send you our order blanks
and instructions. Give Premier Pure
trial, and even though you are the
poorest Judge of whiskey you will ex-
perience no trouble in telling the diff
ference in our goods and others. Write
