of Monroe, N. c., were quietly mar
ried on last Thursday evening, July
18th, at the Presbyterian Manse, by

ence of a few relatives and friends.
Miss Avert and Mr.. Shelley had
been s~weethearts, for sometime and
were engaged to be married. But
the war came on and their plans for
the future had to be changed. Last
week Mr.. Shelley was notified that
he was to be shortly called into the
service. His sweetheart hearing the
news, on the invitation of members
of his family, came to visit them be-
fore he departed. She first visited
in Monroe and then the couple came
to Abbeville to visit Mr.. and Mrs.
C. B. Hipp, Mrs. Hipp being a sister
of Mr.. Shelley.
They were here for a few days
and everything went happily until
the time for the parting drew near.
Then they began to think that may
be after all it would be better to
be married before the parting came,
and to make the story short, they
were married.

before her marriage was n of the
accomplished and popular young
ladies of her home town, and the

other colored man, Solomon Williams
at Turkey Hill, Abbeville County,
Saturday night after dusk. The
tragedy took place on Mr.. Jim Gil

ed over a family quarrel and each
took to their guns, single barrel
breech-loading shot guns. Two shots
were fired by each party. In the
melee, Williams was downed and lost

his gun again, stuck it in the pros
trate mans mouth, and fired. Will
liams died instantly.

twelve thirty Sunday morning. He
was incarcerated in the Abbeville
jail to await trial. The inquest was
