at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Nov
2S, at Mr.. T.. II. Whites, where the
bride has been one Of the family the
past four years. There were no at
tendants and at the appointed hour the
bride and groom took their place in
front Of q bank of ferns in one corner
of the room and DR.. Moffatt, with a
beautiful ceremony, pronounced the
words that linked their hearts and lives
together. Only the immediate relatives
of the contracting parties were present
to witness the ceremony. Mrs. Sarah
Walker died about o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, Nov. 81 at the home of her
son, Mr.. Jos. A. Walker. She would
have been eighty-eight years old in
February and was woman Of wonder
full vitality. About six weeks ago her
strength began to decline and she was
confined to her bed with no special
trouble, but a gradual weakening away
and death came so quietly and gently
that no one knew just when the spirit
took its flight. Mrs. Walker had given
her her dinner about 1.30 o'clock, and
when she returned in about half an
hour she was dead. She was ma
tive Of Dover, England, and has been
across the ocean several times. The
last time, about five years ago. she
made the trip alone and has since
made her home with her son here.
Only one other son, Mr.. Benjamin
Walker Of Michigan. who was to see
her about four weeks ago, survives her.

Vile, Rock Hill and Gaffney. :. .Messrs.
John and Jim Lindsay, Lewis Glover,
Walter Sherer and Lon Thomasson
constituted a hunting party to the
Bowling Green section yesterday. They
ate Thanksgiving dinner with Mr.. Joe
Brandon who had prepared an elabor-
ate repast for about fifty Of his friends.
The occasion was a most enjoyable
one to all. So. "A 150-pair cable, carry
ing 800 wires, is being strung by the
Piedmont Telephone and Telegraph
company from its central office In the
Craig & Wilson building out Air Line
street as far as the residence Of DR..
F. G. Wilson. The cable is 1900 feet
in length and the cost Of installing 1t
is $500. Manager Darlington says
this cable is sufficient to carry the bus
for three years to come, allowing for
the normal growth of the town and the
telephone business. An additional
switchboard for the central Office has
been ordered and will be installed by
January 1st. The company's list of
subscribers is now approximately 500,
much larger than ever before. ..... .Mr
j. T. Wylie. keeper Of Oakwood ceme-
terry, is circulating a petition among
the citizens Of the town asking for sub
scriptions for the purpose Of purchas-
ing a tent for the protection OF funeral
parties during inclement weather. 1t
Is proposed to purchase a tent Of suf-
ficient size to cover an entire lot, which
will at least afford protection to the
officiating minister and the members
Of the family during the ceremonies.
Not infrequently 1t happens that a
burial must be made while 1t Is either
showing or raining and the exposure
is not only unpleasant but dangerous.
Mr.. Wylie has already secured num-
ber of subscriptions and will doubtless
have but little trouble in raising the
necessary amount to carry his plan into
execution. :. Mr.. and Mrs. M. L.
