Abbeville, S. c., Nov. 18th, 1912.
AT HYMEN's ALTAR.

o'clock, Mr.. Benjamin Franklin Cheatham
and Miss Ola Thornton were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock, Rev. Pratt OF the
Presbyterian church OF this city oficia-
ting. Miss. Lila Cobb, of Wares Shoals,
will stand as maid OF honor with Mr.. John
T. Cheatham, (brother Of the groom(, as
best man. This was a pretty home we'd
eing, the dwelling being beautifully deco
rated.
Only the immediate families and kindred
were invited to the marriage; after which
an elegant reception was given to which
we're invited quite a number Of guests.
The. bride is the only daughter Of Mrs.
Ella Thornton Of this city, and is a lovely
young lady, having a large number OF
friends. The bride never looked prettier
and more charming than on this occasion,
as she stood before the altar and listened
to the solemn words that made her the
life companion Of him she loved.
The groom is the son Of Mr.. John T.
Cheatham, ST., and Is a self-made man,
working himself up from the bottom
round Of the ladder to the responsible po-
sition he now occupies,-one Of the efficient
and trusted engineers Of the Seaboard,
having the confidence and goodwill OF his
employers.
This happy couple begin life under most
favorable circumstances, and have the best
wishes and congratulations Of hosts OF
friends.

Augusta Fair and were much pleased with
the fine exhibits, especially in the poultry
line. e.
Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan, the trusted and eff
Gent postman on route 2. availed himself
of the opportunity and spent several days
at the Augusta Fair. He was delighted
with his trip and said he saw more fine
chickens than ever before. Mr.. Walter
Mcdonald did the trick On route 2 during
his absence.
Mr.. Henry Cason, who was sick in Able
Vile last week, returned to Anderson, but
found he was not able for business and
went at once for Chester, where he was
operated on for appendicitis the latter part
of the week. His friends will be pleased
! to learn he is getting OF finely, and hope
he will soon be able to return home. 90.
The many friends Of Miss Sadie Ham
mond regret to learn that her accident was
OF such a serious nature as still to confine
her to her room, but hope she will soon be
fully restored.

in the Columbia Fair, and last week MI.

gusta Fair and had a fine trip.
Mr.. Lamar Williams visited his sister,
Mrs. Baughman, Of Troy, last week, and

place on route 3.
Miss Agnes Graham, the new and eff
cient teacher of the Flatwoods school, is
getting on nicely, and is giving entire sat-
isfaction to both patrons and scholars.
DEATH OF MRS. JOHN CHEEK.
How fearfully true, and yet how sad are
the solemn words: "In the midst Of life,
we are in DEATH" Fittingly true and ap-
plicable were they to Mrs. John Cheek,
who, although not we'll, was not looked
upon as so seriously ill, as she was down
in the city only on Friday, just a day or SO
ere the icy hand of the Reaper was laid
upon her; and, Oh! so suddenly, only a
few days from life into eternity. What a
shock to her own family rs we'll as her
many friends, and this community who
knew her we'll and held her in the highest
esteem, as she was Il most estimable wo-
man possessing many noble traits OF char
acter, her amiable and useful life Is before
this people, and we have no doubt but that
she has reaped its reward.
Her death occurred Sunday afternoon,
and the funeral services were held at Trim
ity church at II o'clock Tuesday morning,
services conducted by pastor Rev. Cornish.
Beautifu l flowers presented by sorrowing
friends covered the newly made grave,
while her gentle spirit has winged its way
into the beautiful home of the soul beyond
the river.
The bereaved husband, sisters and broth
ers have the deepest sympathy OF this en-
tire community.
