ing one matrimonial deal with the
greatest success, needs must take upon
himself the duty Of assisting another
young couple on the road to happiness.
On Monday evening when train No. 40
arrived, handsome young man ap-
preached Mr.. Webb and asked as to
the whereabouts Of the judge Of pro-
bate The heart Of Mr.. Webb doubtless
sprang with delight. At any rate, he
forthwith took the couple under his
care and journeying to nearby tele-
phone, routed the judge from his
peaceful slumbers and near the hour OF
midnight, Mr.. T. M. Fayssoux and Miss
Ethel Henkle were united in matrimo-
ny, the ceremony being performed by

a Ledger reporter. the judge fatty re-
fused to divulge any information, say
ing that hte young couple did not care
to have the affair made public as yet.

as a clam when asked for the names

to help the reporters. BY diligent
search the information was at last OBJ

steam laundry, occurred late Monday

to the ceiling and buffeted by the belt.
Some little time elapsed before the
power could be cut off and the negro
released His clothing was torn from
his body and for a time it was feared
that he was dead. However, aside
from a few minor scratches and two
small bones in his throat being broken,
he escaped without serious injury. 1t
was hardly less than miraculous that
his neck was not broken.

company officers here Tuesday and the
company property, consistaing of guns
and other accouterments. was turned
over to him to be shipped to headquar-
ters at Columbia. The last of the mu-
nitions were placed in the depot this
morning. Colonel w. w. Lewis of
Yorkville. who commands the First
regiment, was in the city a few weeks
ago, after Captain McKeown resigned,
to see if officers could be secured who
have homes in this city, in which event
he would have been willing to allow
