est to many in Oconee was solemn
lied at the home of Mrs. Sophie Rit-
ter, On Main street, Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock, the contracting
parties being Miss Lille Ross, of
Walhalla, and Austin Beatty, of Par

pleasant and complete surprise to
friends Of the couple here. Mr..
Beatty was on visit to relatives and
had said nothing Of the major object
Of his trip to his old home. Only a
few intimate friends of the couple
witnessed tie ceremony, along with
several members of the families Of
the bride and groom. Mrs. Beatty, as
Miss Ross, made a host Of friends
here who will join with us in exterfd-
ing sincere good wishes. She has
for some time had charge Of the dry
goods and ladies' department Of G.

aside from her list Of personal
friends, she has made wide ac-
| mess friends in all parts Of tho coun-
ty. Mr. Beatty is a former Oconee
man, having been raised near Wal
I halla, but he went to Florida some
years ago, establishing himself in the
truck farm and orange grove business
In that State. For the past several
years he has been living in Califor-
mia, but last spring returned to his
Florida property. Immediately fol-
lowing the marriage ceremony. which

The cold wave for this section Is
now entering we'll into the fourth
week, though 1t has not, Of course,
been continuously what could be call
ed freezing weather, but Ice that was
formed In barrels four weeks ago has
not melted. There have been during
the past three and a half weeks a
few days Of sunshine, and quite
pleasant. Before the six-inch snow
had completely gone there came
lighter fall last Saturday, and again
on Sunday night about an inch and
half, and this we have with us to-
day, with an additional three -fourths
inch that fell last night. Thermome-
ter readings have varied few de-
grees in Walhalla, naturally, accord
ing to location, but the variations
have been comparatively slight. Pow
erty Pinnacle readings since the
thermometer took its latest hard
tumble were: Sunday morning, zero;
Monday morning, 6 above; Tuesday
morning, 2 above; this morning, 18
above. These readings represent the
temperature between 6 and o'clock
in the morning. Information comes
to us that Beaty's Creek was frozen
over from bank to bank yesterday
morning and that the water could be
seen running below the ice forma-
ton. This was reported by John p.
Beatty, who had crossed the stream,
and he also stated that he had 1t on
good authority that Keowee River
was frozen completely over just prior
to the recent snow fall, and that the
snow covered the river while ice
clad, leaving Keowee for the time
being completely lost to view. w. A.
White, who lives few miles from
town, reports "Nigger Fork" Creek
also completely frozen over yesterday
morning.
