Rome, November 1:?In the lives of a great many men and women there occurs an event that surely two people never forget. From the earliest period of the existence of man; ar.d this custom has pre- i vailed and is perhaps the only remaining law from which man has not deviated, since it wasi established by the Creator when the world contained dui two people and was itself in a state of primeval development. For many years Cupid bas lived and his curly ringlets have never become silvery; the saucy twinkle in his bright eyes is as youthful and dangerous as when he hovered about our foreparents in the Garden of Eden. He is the same smiling and beguiling sprite that the inhabitants of this sphere will always welcome. At Rome he has launched one of his fatal darts and impaled two happy hearts, welding two! souls into one. On Wednesday evening, October 27, at 7:30 o'clock, many acquaintances and loving friends witnessed the solemn, beautiful and impressive ceremony that made Miss Corinne DuRant Mrs Otis M Mitchell. a cnana Of fVno QiiQnir?if?llS I JL ilV kJVV-HV "X VltiU UWU|/?viv^ event was at historic old Union Methodist church, which was ! beautifully decorated for the oc- j casion with chrysanthemums, ( roses, ferns and evergreens. Miss Bessie Rivers of Green- | wood, the organist, was escort- , ed to her place by Mr Bethel DuRant and the rich, mellow notes of Lohengrin's famous wedding march burst forth from the golden-toned pipes of the organ, when the bridal party . moved down the double aisles to the chancel. The attractive ribbon girls, Misses Annie Wilson and Laura Rhem, beautifully dressed in white, reached the double arch at the chancel, and gave way for the ushers, Messrs Sam D Snowden and Ben Hemingway. Then came the attendants: Miss Bessie Snow with Mr Laurice Rhem; Miss Daisy Brockinton with MrRS Major,Iieesville,S C; Miss Mary S Snowden with Mr M M Thomas; Miss Carrie Baker, Latta, S C, with Mr W E Snowden; Miss Louise Wilson, with . Mr H W Thomas; Miss Pauline Wilson, Manning, S C, with Mr R N Speigner, Kingstree; Miss Alma Barr, Leesville, S C, with Mr G T Skinner; Miss Ollie Mitchell, Ridge Springs, S C, with Mr E W DuRant. The bridesmaids were attired in lovely gowns of white mousseline with blue sashes, gloves and slippers and carried bouquets of large chrysanthemums tied with blue ribbon. Following came the ring bearer, Master Baker Wilson, who bore the ring on a silver waiter, and ; little Miss Mary Rhem, the flower girl, dressed in a beautiful suit of white. Finally entered the bride, at- . tended by her maid of honor, Miss "P't" Wilson, arrayed in an 1 exquisite costume of blue silk, Grecian effect. The bride was < attired in a lovely empire gown i of messaline, satin trimmed with embroidered applique, . wearing a white veil caught up , with orange blossoms. She carried a beautiful bouquet of bride's roses. Her natural grace and beauty were enhanced by the magnificent flowing gown which she wore. The groom was conducted to the altar by his best man, Mr ?-Mitchell. Everybody who witnessed the impressive ceremony, conducted by Rev T J Clyde, expressed the opinion that this was one of the prettiest weddings ever solemnized at old Union. The bride has large family connections both in Williamsburg and Georgetown, being'a half sister of Judge John S Wilson of Manning. The groom is principal ^_of Union High school. He is from Ridge Spring, Aiken c ounty,but has made such a reputation for himself as a teacher and has so entirely gained confidence of the people here, that he will make Rome his future home. We wish the couple happiness as life glides onward through its various vicissitudes. After the marriage ceremony the bridal party was given a reception at the home of the brother of the bride, Mr D Itly Wilson, where a sumptuous supper was served, which was a veritable wedding feast and greatly enjoyed by all who participated. Farmers' Union OrganizedEditor County Record:? Rev W P Gause, couuty organizer i of the Farmers' Union, organized a union at Martin's Cross-roads on October 28 with 15 charter members.

The people 111 this section seem very much interested iu the Farmers' Union. They are beginning to realize that the only alternative for the farmer is in organization and co-operation. The Farmers' Uniou is doing great good already and when the farmers are thoroughly organized there is uo telling the good that they can accomplish in the betterment of their conditiou. God grant that soon the day will come that every farmer will belong to the Farmers' Union. Respectfully, J T Frierson. Mouzons, October 29. "Sam P's" Farewell. Farewell! farewell! My deare>t friends, 1 bid you now a long adieu. Vet 'tis with grief and sorrow great, That I do part with you. 1 do not know what makes me sad. Nor what fills my hetirt with pain. I'nless it is the question asked. When shall we meet again? Farewell! farewell! The joyless word Strikes deep within my heart, Ind blinds emotion to iriy soul. That we have bud to part. I cannot think thus colcly on? Nor can I from tears rel rainWhen oft I ask in solemn tone: When shall we meet again? Though in my far-off Texas home. Close to the Rio Grande shore; Yet oh! the thought I cannot stand, That we shall meet no more. No. no, this thought I cannot k'*ep, Nor let it in my breast remain: For I will cherish aye Ihe hope, That we shall meet again. Yes. to this hope I'll ever cling. Let me be in whute'er clime. It shall grow brighter every day, All through the course of time. I shall await with anxious careOil, may my waiting not be vain? For the time to eonie with lightning When we stiall inet-t again!
