At 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the Main Street Methodist church in
this city was the scene of a most beau
tifully appointed and largely attended
wedding ceremony, when Miss Myra
Herman, daughter of the pastor, and
Mr. Chess Abernathy, of this city, were
united in marriage. The church had
been most elaborately decorated for
the occasion, the chancel and altar be-
ing especially beautiful in their trim
mihgs and draperies of ivy, ferns and
chrySanthemums, the color scheme be-
ing yellow and green. Chief of
Police J. W. Carroll and his assistants
did some very clever detective work
Tuesday in rounding up the pickpock-
cts who were attracted to Gastonia by
Ringing Brothers circus. They did
not wait till the slight-of- hand per-
formers had completed their show but
landed them behind the bars early in
the afternoon before the performance
in the big tent began. When one con-
siders the enormous crowd that was
here all day the wonder is that more
people did not lose their pocketbooks
and thar the pickpockets themselves
men are receiving congratulations on
all Sides Tor their splendid work as is
also Mayor Craig who took an active
and personal interest in seeing that
the people were protected.
Chester Lantern, October %: Mr.
]. Porter Hollis, a Chester boy who is
making a high stand in his adopted
home of Rock Hill, was here for the
fair. The Chester County Fair
came to a close last night in blaze
of glory 1t was a success from every
standpoint and everyone is proud of
Chester county. The showing she
made was creditable to a county of
twice the size and wealth. Every Ches-
ter mans pulse beats a little faster
from pride over the showing grand
old Chester made. The farm exhibits,
the poultry, the sheep and hogs and
cattle, the horses, and above all the
prosperous, happy thousands of citi-
zens, who for both days poured into
Chester from all sides. 1t is impossi-
BILE to find words to describe the mag
nificent showing which was made at
the county fair. United States Sena-
tor Z. II Smith, voiced the sentiments
of many visitors when he stated yes
terday afternoon that he was surpris-
ed at ihe fine horses which he saw.
Said hc knew there were some good
ones here, but he was not expecting
to see such a showing. He said the
county fair was splendid and warm
ly praised the showing made. Hon.
J. Porter Hollis, Of Rock Hill, also
warmly commended the fair idea and
said he felt proud Of the fair. Every
one commended the efforts and said
that it would result in untold good to
the county and city. Bob Lewis, col
Orrd. vas fined $25 in the police court
this morning charged with drawing a
pistol on Mr.. Lyles Grant yesterday at
the fair grounds. The fine was paid.
1t seems that Bob got off the trapeze
and knocked into Mr. Grant.
The latter called him down whereupon
Bob cursed and drew pistol. Seeing
that he was in for it Bob broke and
ran, but was later arrested and locked
up, and this morning fined for his con-
duct. No event of the fall, thus
far has been prettier than the we'd
ding on Tuesday evening of Miss Mary
f. White, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
G.. L. White, and Mr.. Frank l.. Whit
lock. The house was beautifully
though simply decorated with ferns
and cut flowers. The room in which
the ceremony took place was in white
and green. The altar was of ferns
and on each side were two candelabra
holding five candles each. The we'd
ding bell was OF white chrysanthe-
NUNS. This was suspended from an
arch beautifully draped with maline
and caught with asparagus ferns and

o'clock, the Rev. d. G.. Phillips and
the Rev. ]. S. Snyder took their places.
Then came one of the maids, Miss
Sumter White, in an exquisite girlish
gown of white. She was followed by
the groom's only sister, Miss Alice
Lee Whitlock, who wore a handsome
gown of chiffon over satin. Both car
ried huge armsful of white chrysan-
themumS. Dainty little Margaret White
brought in the ring on a chrySanthe
mum. Never did the bride look more
winSome or lovely than when she came
in on the arm of the groom. Her
gown was of crepe meteor draped
with simplicity, yet effective grace,
beautifying her own individual style.
The trimmings were of pearl and over
her whole small figure fell the misty
folds of her wedding veil. Her bou-
quet was of brides roses and lilies Of
the valley in graceful shower effect.
..... The fair is over and all must
agree that it was a brilliant success.
The sterling feature Of the fair was in
the showing made by Chester county
farmers and others who exhibited
stock, cattle, sheep, and other like
things. 1t showed that Chester coun-
ty has pride in her products, that the
are ready and willing at
all times to do anything they can to
show to the world just what we have
and what we can do. Did you ever
stop to think that pride is the begin
ming of Improvement in anything.
When you arouse a mans pride, you
stir his ambition and he Immediately
begins to look up 10 something bigger
ana better. The man who takes a
pride in his appearance always look
better. the man who takes a pride IL
his home has nicer one, the man who
takes a pride in his work, does better,
than one who has no pride in anything
he has or in anything he does. There
in lies the secret or at least one of the
secrets of success. And so the fair has
proved that Chester people have pride
in the things they own. and the
things they can produce. And what
is more, this sort of pride is not the
kind that goes before destruction. It
is the kind that precedes an era of
construction. The mere pride the in
labitantS of Chester and Chester coun-
ty have in their city and county the
more they will be willing to do To-
wards improving it and bettering the
not only of themselves but
IF their neighbOrs. The lesson to be
drawn then from the fair is this. Let
every man who raises corn. remember
the kind he saw there and try to raise
better and more of ii. Let every man
that saw good horses shown there, try
to breed better ones: let every man
that saw anything exhibited there. do
everything he can to improve his
stock. crops or whatever else he may
own or possess And everyone will
reap the benefit. Remember the old
saying If Emerson when he ad-
