Married at Monterey.

Miss Mildred Adams, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs Alex Adams. formerly of
Pine Grove, was married in New
M Monterey, on Sunday last, to
Charles Colburn, who is junior
partner and bookkeeper of the Mer-
camille Company of New Monterey.
The Monterey Daily Cypress of the
18th says of this event:
1t was a delightful event at the
home of Mr. and Mrs q. +. Colburn
Oh Hoffman avenue, New Monterey
on Sunday, when their son, Charles
Colburn, and Miss Mildred Adams,
daughter of Mrs Dora Adams, whose
home is in Stockton, in the presence
OF relatives and friends standing be-
meath marriage bell in all its floral
spIendor, in clear distinct voices,
pledged their VOWS.
Rev. W. j. Clifford of the Presby-
terian church in his M ost impI esslve
manner pronounced the words that
made them husband and wife.
The bride was charming in an ex-
quiiste gown of pale lavender silk,
dainty trimmed IN a darker shade
of embroidered net. She wore orange
blossoms and carried bouquet of
the same tied with white ribbon.
The groom wore the conventional
suit with a boutenair of orange buds.
The decorations we're tastefully ar
ranged with great care by loving
friends. The parlor was lovely In
white Lamarque roses and ferns. The
other rooms were all aglow with
bright coloIs. In every corner clusters
of the fragrant flowers were visible.
1he bride is very attractive young
lady. Having spent much of her
time here she endeared herself to
those who had the pleasure of know
ing her. The groom Is an only child,
an enterprising young man of much
merit, junior partner and bookkeeper
in the Mercantile Company OF New
Monterey, and we'll worthy the conf
dence and esteem shown him. After
the ceremo ony the guests we're served
with dainty refreshments and while
enjoying entertaining conversation
was most argeeably surprised by a
serenade for the young people. who
are very popular. by the Twentieth
Infantry Band, which delighted the
company with several selections.
The young people will take a trip
through the northern part of the
state. The brides going away suit
was very becoming. of roseda green
with hat to match. Upon their re-
turn they will reside here for the
present. The numerous gifts were
both elegant aud useful. Ii was
quite a coincidence that the BRIDES
sister was married the previous week
with a number of similar pleasant
incidents.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Manager of Amus-U to Present
Large Vaudeville Attraction,
Beginning Monday.

The manager Of the Amus-U thea
tire has procured an extra large as
we'll as good vaudeville bill, to be pre-
sented at the opera house for three
days, beginning Monday, June %. On
account of the small stage at the
Amus-U, it will be impossible to play
so many people there, and in order to
give first class production the mana
GER of the Amus-U has made ar
rangement to use the opera house for
this attraction only.
The head liners Of this bill are we'll
known to the people Of NewberrE,
having played here before. They are
Tavlor and Crawford, who will be
remembered with pleasure here. BE-
sides these two stars, there are Miss
Edith Murrilla. a singing and dane
ING commedienne, and Billy Van, the
we'll known minstrel man, presenting
his monoIogue Of songs, dancing, anu
funny sayings.
Tavlor and Crawford bill themsclN =
es as originators Of fun and we'll live
ND to their title. With the good sup
port of Billy Van and Miss Edith
:Murrilla they will undoubtedly pre-
sent one Of the funniest sketches
ever presented here. The quick
ness of Taylor and Crawford in
changing so many costumes is mystl-
fving to any audience, as they no
sooner leave she stage, in one cos
tune. than they almost immediately
return in another. The manager has
made arrangements with these people
to change their bill every night

THE COST OF COURT.
The Figures Given in View Of the
Recent Discussion as to the
Court.

There has been some discussion Of
the cost to Newberry Of the one days
criminal court held here last week.
The expenditures Of the court, accord
ing to the amounts paid out by the
treasurer, were as follows: Jurors,
$l77.6O; bailiffs, $3.50; witnesses,
$50; total $19980 The county
treasurer stated that there were prob
ably a half dozen jury tickets still
unpaid, and that they would probably
average $500, which would make the
total a little over 5000. Of course the
salaries Of the court officials go on
lust the same whether the term IS
long or short.
To the above amount, Of course,
should be added the cost Of summon
ing the jury.
There were only three new cases
to be disposed Of by the court. One
Of these was an assault and battery
case, in which the facts did not JUS
tify verdict Of guilty, and the ne
gro was promptly acquitted. Another
of the new cases was against a negro
for using mule without the consent
of the owner. After looking into
the case. the Solicitor decided there
was nothing in it, and transferred 1t
to the contingent docket, which means
that it will probably be dismissed at
the next court. The third case was
against a negro charged in two IN
dictments with forgery, which case
was continued on account OF the SICK
ness Of his counsel.
Several cases had been brought ov-
er, from the former term. Of these,
on account Of the condition of the
crops and the urgent necessity Tor
immediate farm labor, Solicitor Coop
er decided to continue misdemeanors
Of minor importance, where farm Ia
borers would be kept from the farms
as witnesses, in addition to keeping
Jurors in attendance upon the court
longer than was absolutely necessary.
He, however, pressed for trial in cases
which he thought demanded a trial at
this term. These, however, were con-
tinued, for various reasons which ap-
pealed to the sound discretion OF the
presiding judge.
Newberry will have two weeks OF
criminal court in the fall, which will
be ample to dispose of all the busi-
ness.
