GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Harman Celebrate
Fiftieth Anniversary.-More
than 100 Guests.


gallant young man, 20 years old, was
married to Miss Lucye Ann Roberts,
a beautiful young girl, two years
younger. On Thursday last at their
lovely country home, five miles north
of Lexington, on the banks of old Sa-
luda river, they celebrated their gol-
den wedding, together with their
children and their children's children,
and number of friends.
Present on this occasion-and fit
tingly so-were those who waited on
the young couple, all of them with
silver hair. They were Henry Rob-
erts, M. D. Hartman, Priscilla Rob-
erts, now Mrs. Edward Cook, and
Miss Lizzie Harman. The minister
who officiated at their marriage, the
Rev. Adam Efrd, has long since
passed away, but his memory still
lives in the hearts Of these people, as
was evidenced by the many kind ref
ences made to him on Thursday.
Soon after their marriage the war
cAme on, and T. s. Harman, like the
brave young man that he was, left his
young wife of two years, and enlisted
in the Twentieth South Carolina regi-
ment, serving with valor to the end of
the strife. At the close of the war he
returned to his young wife, who had
brsvely cared for the little home, and
engaged in the pursuit of farming,
which occupation he still follows.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harman have reared
large and interesting family of chill
dren, four boys and four girls, all of
them prominent in the community.
They are: Messrs. Olin of Richmond,
Va, Angus, Edgar and Perry Harman;
|. Mrs. E. l.. Wingard, wife of Lexing-
toms popular county treasurer; Mrs.
Sidney Corley, and Mrs. Frank L.
Corley. One daughter died several
years ago, leaving seven living chill
dren. They have 27 grandchildren
living and four dead, and one great
grandchild.
At / O'Clock an elegant barbecue
dinner. prepared by that excellent
cuist and prince of good fellows
Frank L. Corley, was served on a
long table beneath the shade of three
stately oaks in the yard. To attempt
to mention the different tempting vi
ands served would take too much
space. Suffice it to say thai it was a
dinner fit for the gods. All during
the day ice lemonade was served and
just before the guests took their de.
parture delicious ice cream and cake.

cipients of many gifts
