What IN" Sees and Hears on His
Rounds About the City and Along
Route No, 8.

Goodbye old year, goodbye, with all
thy Joys, sorrows and blessings thou art
now numbered with the past. Yes, twas
sad to hear the tolling of bells sounding
thy deoth knell, but thou will not be for
gotten, but thy joys and sorrows will lin
ger in our memories as long as life shall
last.
From the sad refrain, came the deafning
whistles of engines, and the merry ringing
of bells ushing in the happy New Year
with long and merry jubilee. The dawn
ing of the New Year was beautiful, bright
and balmy as the days Of spring, and now
by the past, and do our best to make
amends for failures, and lost opportuni-
ties so that the world will be brighter and
happier for our living in it. To one and
all our sincere AMI best wishes are a hap
by and prosperous New Year,
A BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING.
LYoN-KLUGH.
On last Wednesday evening, December
80, 1909, the beautiful suburban home OF
Mr.. c.. J. Lyon was a scene Of mirth and
beauty. The old Colonial home nesting
amid the giant oaks with its beautiful gar
den of magnolias and jeSsamine,. whose
sweet perfume filled the air, while the
graceful heads of tall cedars swayed to
and fro in the evening breeze, all conSpir-
ing to make a picture both sublime and
picturesque. Within was q picture more
beautiful and lovely to behold the happy
union of two loving hearts which in future
shall beat as zone" There stood before
the altar a beautiful bride and handsome
groom, only waiting beneath the marriage
bell the earnest and impressive words of
the man of God that would unite them in
the holy bonds Of wedlock. The words
were spoken by Rev: E. B. Kennedy and
the beautiful Miss Ethel Lyon and Mr..
Charlie Klugh were pronounced man and
wife" .
The home was lovely in it's artistic deco
rationS of smilax, ivy, ferns, palms, cedar
to form a striking contract upon the white
walls and lovely lace curtains.
The color scheme was white and green,
and rich Christmas colors of red and green.
throughout, alternately arranged in the
reception and DINING rooms as we'll as in
the spacious hall.
The wedding supper was superb, elegant
and all in all an "old time" wedding feast
of good things. The spread vas bountiful
and served in style, and was indeed fit for
Kings and Princes.
The grand display of presents were daz-
cling to the eye, being elegant and costly,
in value to several thousand
dollars. A greater and more magnificent
collection of wedding presents were never
seen in any home in this City.
Of Mrs. and Mrs. C.. j. Lyon, and although
pretty at all times, never looked half so
beautiful and graceful as she did on this
occasion while standing beneath the mar
riage bell gowned in O superb white satin
elegantly and deliberately trimmed in
pearl pa~sSamentarie. She was the cyno-
sure of every eye, the brightest, beautiful
star of the evening. Miss Lyon Is one of
fairest and most popular young
ladies, cultured and refined, having a
sweet sunny disposition that makes it's
impress upon every heart.
The groom is a young man Of sterling
worth, having the highest respect and
esteem Of all who know him. Professor
Klugh has charge Of the high school at
where heis doing u fine work.
He has the contradictions of hosts of
Abbeville and Greenwood and
their bestwishes for the future happiness
Of himself &nd his charming bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Klugh will be at home to
their friends in the city Of Greenwood.
FRIENDS COMING AND GOING.

with her sister, Mrs. Carlton has returned
to her home in Atlanta.
Mr.. j. NJ. Lawton, after a pleasant stay
with relatives in ~IimmOnsyille returned
home last week leaving his better half
who with children will return soon. Mr..
not only knows how TO measure
lumber by the foot, but can 30 measure a
burning candle by his eye, as to calculate
how long it will burn in days, hours and
minutes. He is a close calculator and a
tirst-class guesser and won the candle
prize offered by that wide-awake and pro-
gressive merchant R. L. Dargan.
The dinner given by the ladies Of the
Seceder Church last Monday was a great
success. The dinner was line, and was
well patronized and netted a handsome
sum. Think Of 1t, a turkey or '"possum
later" dinner for only % cents. So cheap
any man having the capacity might
have taken in both.
Carriers Mos. l and 2 have purchased
horses and will now drive each their own
'critter" and the line up now at the post
office will be iopr instead Of two. So keep
your horses and vehicles out of their way
in rear of the post Office building as that is
post Office ground and is allotted to the
for hitching. Aword to the wise
should be sufficient.
Another accident one day last waek our
little crippled son Arthur picked up a rifle
which some boys had been shooting at a
target in the yard and in some accidental
way it was discharged while in his hands
intlicting a flesh wound upon his only foot
iurt between the tOes-a flesh wound only,
which we hope under the skilful manage
ment of DR.. James Hill will soon be all
right. The little fellow is doing nicely so
far as can be judged now.
