Miss Lorena Ross and DR. E 7
Kelley took their friends somewhat
by surprise Sunday morning, when
at Z a m, at the home of the bride,
the two were united in marriage by
Rev E D Hudson of TurbeviIle. The
affair was not wholly unexpected to
those who note the tokens of coming
events, but only a few knowing ones
were posted as to the day and the
hour. There were present to witness
the nuptial ceremony only the imme-
diate family connections and a few
intimate friends.
Immediately after the ceremony
DR. Kelley and his bride left "a la
auto" for Timmonsville to spend a
short while with the parents of the
former, thence they took bridal
trip to the North to last several
weeks. After June Is they will be at
home to their friends in the Doc
tors newly acquired home, the cot
tage at the northwest corner of
Academy and Mill streets. Accom-
panying the happy couple to Tin :
monsville were Misses Lila Hammet
and Margaret Ross, a sister of the
bride, and Mr. R 8 Crosland as chauf-
feur, etc.
The bride was bred in old Kings
tree and there are none fairer or
.,o1elier among all the rose-fowered
garden of girls of which our town
can boast. AS a member of the high
school faculty she has gained the
friendship and appreciation of pupil
and patron. alike, who wish her the
same success in the school-room with
one pupil that she so notably achiev-
ed in the controlling of large mum
Der.
DR. Kelley, the groom, came he e
from TimmonsviIle several years ago
and has been associated with the old
veteran, DR. w L Wallace, as a med
ical practitioner. He has already
gained a large practice which is
constantly being augmented by his
professional skill and close applica
tion to the eNcting duties Of HI
profession.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
