Cotton Suhl here on Saturday for 11.85. mesdames Alice Cox and W. W. Satchel* visited, at Saluda last week. Mrs. Elijah Rhoden died la?t Thursday evening at ber home in the Philippi section, the interment being Friday afternoon at the fami ly burying ground. She was a lova ble christian woman and is mourned by a large family of children aud grandchildren. Miss Grace Tompkins and Mrs. Bettis Cantelou of Edgefield were vi>itors here Saturday. Dr. Wallace Wright and Miss Starr of Alaba.ma, were married on Sunday, the affair being witnessed only by a f?w friends and the im mediate family, owing to a bereave ment in the bride's family. Imme diately after the ceremony the couple left for Fairfax where the groom ?B engaged in business. Dr. Wright is the youngest son cf Mr. Wallace Wright of this place and hearty congratulations are wafted to him. Miss Emmie Wright and Messrs. Joe, Luther and Junius Wright, Mrs. John Wright and Mr. Joseph Cox attended the wed ding. Mr. Tillman R. Denny died here at his home on Monday about 3:30 o'clock, the immediate cause of his. death being heart failure, and the town is bowed in sorrow by the passing away of one of its most honored citizens. He had been sick only a few hours. On Sunday he attended both services of the Bap tist church, and on Monday when be started to go on bis mail route, he felt indisposed and thought best to remain at home. A short while before his death he went into his bedroom to rest, and his wife hear ing a noise of loud breathing went to his side to hud him passing away. In the death of Mr. Denny there is an irreparable loss. Espe cially in the church work will he be sadly" misled, for he was one of the deacons and Bible class teacher and clerk of the church. In the W. C. T. U., of which he was ari honorary member, he labored earnestly to further the cause. Spotless integrity, unflinching fidelity to every trust, unfaltering faith in God, and unswerving con secration to Christ, characterize and I sum up the life of this n<>W sainted \ Christian. Besides his widow are left three children, Mrs. Ona Roese and Mr. Claud Denny and Miss Au- ' toinette Denny. The latter was at Converse college, and pathetically sad was her return to find such a 1 change in her home, after an ab sence of a few day H. The interment was made in the Mt. of Olives ceme- 1 tery and upon his bier were many floral offerings sent from the de partments of the Sunday school and 1 church, the local aedjeounty W. C. T. U. and from many loving friends. The missionary society was hold ing the regular monthly meeting and the news of tho death of Mr. Denny came to thora and after a prayer for the family and the wife who was such a faithful member, the body adjourned and silently went to the home to convey their sj mpathy.
