charming young ladies, who will be
greatly missed from society meets, as
she is exceedingly popular with all the

making many friends and acquaint-
ances, and where she will be given a
happy welcome.

in Columbia, but he is well-known
throughout the county of Adair as a
genial gentleman, upright in all his

very deserving couple, they will re-
ceive many handsome presents.

times be surrounded with everything
that goes to make life happy, is the
