For the Advertiser. A Noble Old Gentleman and Lady. -A Happy Wedding. We lately enjoyed the pleasure of dining with the Hon. Luke Culbreath and his noble lady. We foundfthem well and rea sonably cheerful and happy. How blessed are~all those that to every noble human ? trait of character havefjn addition the di vine graces of charity, resignation and faith. They have the highest enjoyment in prosperity and with more than Roman fortitude can bear adversity and sorrow. The event of the month surely was the brilliant wedding at Dr. Strom's. It took place at 2 P. M. The company, while con fined to the immediate clans, numbered about sixty or more. The elegant parlor was neatly decorated, darkened by blinds and shadeB, and then lighted up brightly with some dozen blazing lamps. At the appointed time, the bridal party, consist ing ot seven or eight couples of select young gentlemen and ladies, filed in, form ing a circle around the minister with the bride and groom directly in front of him. Then a brief ceremony by Rev. Mr. Gaines linked for life the destinies of two of the finest looking and best young people in the country-Car. Williams and Lela Strom, The friends and relatives generally took part in the usual congratulations. An elegant and bountiful dinner follow ed, at which everybody seemed to make haste slowly. It was not in our power to attend the reception the next day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, but I know it was a fitting wind-up of the en joyable occasion. The wedding was graced by such Bociety landmarks ?as Maj Boles, Mrs. Lewis and others. Dec. 14,1S85. B. Tr.OK. For the Advertiser. Meeting Street Dots. Mr. Goodrich, the Canvassing Agent for the Augusta, Edgefield & Newberry Nar row-Gauge, is now working up this section for funds to carry out the great enterprise He reports success in getting the people to subscribe liberally. Meeting Street will be an important point on the road. It is almost in a direct line between Edgefield and Newberry, and would attract consid erable local freight on the west side, which ow goes to other roads, and which the I >.Tgpea-.Qft3t of Me_et- j ; Street.

Ali About t'ussville and Cnss County, Ga. Ern ARLEE, BAIITOW Co., GA., ) Dec. 17,1885. $ Dear Old Advertiser:]! appreciate your weekly visits to this little burg, situated on a creek of the eame^name. At this place there is a large flooring mill, con taining four sets of runners and a gin. This stream would afford water power enough to run a large factory. Our County was called Cuss before the war, and then the Court House was lo cate! at Cuss ville. When Sherman came he burnt up Cussville. Then after the war the Court House was located at Car ter8ville, which now contains about 3,500 inhabitants. It is located on the W. & A, R. R., 4S miles N. W. of Atlanta. Car tersville supports two weekly papers and has a Narrow Gauge Railroad, running tc Cross Plains, Ala, whic? carries an im mense amount of freight and is paying wei!. This county contains a population of 1S.090, of which G.271 b.re colored Lands are productive and can be bought for from 50 cts. to $100 per acre, Coriwji selling a* 50 cte. per bushel. This is tb home of Bill Arp, Sam Jones and W. H Felton, ex member to Congress. I take a deep interest in the wc!'"are r old Edgefield, as it is the home of m] childhood. I heard a man of Cartersvill relate an anecdote on an Edgefield soldie: in the Mexican war. He said in one o the battles the soldier from Edgefield wai noted for his expertness for dodging bnl let*, and his Captain reproved him for it He said; "Captain, I am from Edgefield S. C , and if you had been raised there am had not learned to dodge bullets you woul< have long since been killed." Would i not be well for yoa to exercise a little mor forbearance one towards another, " am seek not to avenge yourselves one of an other, for vengeance is mine sayeth th' Lord of Hosts." E. H. Give Pleasure to the Children, And thereby bring peace and happines to your own hearts. Laking to this end no better place can be found to let thee pay a visit than to G P.

And she, too,-richly deserved a prize. At Home for the Holidays. John R. Abney, Esq., of the New York bar is at home for the Holidays. We ob serve no change in Col. Abney except the development of the two Evarts wrinkles, and they are very faint and shadowy tobe sure. These Evarts wrinkles, as they are called among the legal fraternity in New York, indicate that the happy possessor has crossed over the " Pons Asinorum" of legal knowledge and is firmly and sure ly on the high road to fortune and to lame Hence the great yearning among members of the bar for the Evarts wrinkle.

Edgefield C. Ii., H. C., Dec 17, '85.-2 PRAYING FOR SHOES. On a dark NovetubM morning A lady walked slo'.viy down T: turor g ?d. tumultuous thoroughfare U; an ancient seaport, town. Of i winning and gracious beauty, The pe .ice on ber pure youDg face WKS soil, as the gleam ol' an angel's dream lu the calms of a heavenly place. Her eyes were fountains of pity, And tbe sensitive mouth expres?ed A longing to set the kind thoughts free In music that ?!led her breast. She met, by a bright shop-window, An urchin, timid and thin, Who, with limb9 that shoos and a yearn ing look, Was mistily glancing in, At tho rows and varied clusters Of slippers and shoes outspread, .Some, shimmering keen, but of sombre sheen, Some, purple and green and red. His pale lips moved and murmured ; But of what, she could not hear. And oft on his folded hands would fall The round of a bitter tear. '. What troubles you, child?'' she asked him, In a voice like the May-wind sweet, He turned, and while pointing dolefully To his naked and bleeding feet, "1 was praying for shoep," he answered: (Just look at the splendid show !) " 1 was praying to God for a single pair, The sharp stones hurt me so !" She led him, in museful silence, At once through the open door, And his hope grew bright, like a fairy light That flickered and danced before! And there be was washed and tended. And his small brown feet weie shod ; And he pondered there on his childish prayer And the marvelous answer ol God. Above them his keen gaze wandered. How strangely from shop and shelf, Till it is'almost seemed that he fondly dreamed Of looking on God himself. The lady bent over, and whispered : "Are you happier now, my lad ?" He started, und all his soul flashed forth In a gratitude swift and glad, " Happy ?-Oh ! yes !-1 am hapny !" Then wonder with reverence rife, (His eves aglow, and his voice sunk low) " Please tell me ! Are you God's wife?"
