A Timely Suggestion-.?We call especial attention to the communication in this issue in which the attention of the Board of Equalization, is specially directed to the inequality existing between the assessment of properly, both real and personal in this j conntv, compared with that of other J counties in the State. As the Legislaj ture has failed to give us the remedy, the only conrse left is lor trie conjuy board to reduce the assessment as suggested in the communication. Under the assessment heretofore our county has been compelled to contribute thousands of dollars tax to the Stale owing to the fact that property has been over value by the county Bo^td of Equalization when compared with the assessments in other counties. This subject so fully discussed in the communication, merits the deliberate consideration of our Board, and we hope the remedy suggested will be pursued. ?Yon are not old, yet your hair is getting thiu.

Edn'ors:..Several gentlemen wei'e seen to board the southbound freight train on "Wednesday morning 13th inst.. whose faces betokened an ticipations of no usual occurrence, and whose importance seefned Lo impress them in. no small degree. This was shown by their departing upon the freight train, instead ot waiting for the regular passenger train which arrives here about four o'clock, p. m. This was done under apprehension that the passenger train might not make connection with the Charleston roads and to render themselves certain of the connection, they bethought themselves to make "assurance doubly sure" by anticipating the arrival in Columbia of the passenger some time. Arrived in Columbia they discovered that the groom expectant, accompanied by Mr. Q. D. Williford, had only left Columbia that morning, thcv having gone t-Ua DT'onintr hpfni'P liml Oil nnROllllt of Ul\> wv*vkv ? ? ? the failure of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad cars to meet those on the South Carolina I tail road, were unavoidably detained in Columbia until morning-. The time of our stoppage in Columbia dwindled its slow length along, ' and when it had been wbilcd away, we 1 felt relieved, plucked up new courage [ and added one more story to the air ; castles we had built in a vain endeavor to appreciate beforehand the events of the morrow. The conductors familiar "all aboard" found us safely and snugly ensconced in our seats on the cars of the South Carolina Railroad, from which we were presently aroused by the timely ar?irl Dr. W. E. Aiken, who had arrived just in time as the cars were beginning to move when he hoarded n?. The cars pulled out from under the shed and away we went whizzing into sp.-ice, the broad and level fields, almost as far as the eye could 6ee, relieved oniy at intervals by a few trees from which being suspended long, luige icicles made up at once to us a queer and novel appearance. As we traveled further down, the fields grew narrower, and as night came upon us the outlines of trees, whose limbs were [>cuuui>?. wmi jui;, us ?c mutu past them, formed a scene ghostly, weird ami impressive. Ours was a fasr, through train and with a few stoppages for wood, water and for sapper at Branchvilie, we arrived 011 due time in Charleston. We were promptly met and escorted to our hotel, wherein we retired thoroughly fatigued and jaded and were soon sleeping the sleep of the just. We did not arise with the sun on that Thursday morning, but enjoyed the gentle repose of tired bodies and clear consciences, until aroused from our slumbers by the breakfast gong. Alter paying a not very dainty attention to the breakfast, we wandered about the old city, observing the places of distinction, of curiosity, etc., until the hour hand admonished us of the near approach of the time set apart for 1 ti.e marriage ceremony wherein our popular friend, Mr. Henry B. llefo, was to be united in the holy bonds of : matrimony to Miss Gertrude Harbv. At three o'oclck in the afternoon our carriages took the places assigned them and we wens otl' for the house of the bride's father on Wentworth street. . Arrived ai the house we were received J by that hospitable gentleman, and were luade to leel at home by his kindness . and consideration. The inyited guests dropped in in pairs, in groups aud siuglr until mum thp fated hour, there was 1 collected quite a chosen and select little assembly. AboYe the mantle of the chimney there were delicately work- ] cd in flowers the monograms of the surnames of the bride and groom-elect. 1 ri the middle of the room from the < coiling hung suspended a beautiful bell lubricated by ingenious and facile lingers, elegantly arranged, and prettily dnss d, made of beatuitnl flowers. The door opened and the happy couple entered, preceded by the Rev. Dr. Pincfcney, Rector of Grace church, and flmked by Mr. Q. D. YVilliford and MissEmma Phillips on their right, took their position immediately tinder '' i ' rnu _ ?4.1 1 tnc ueu. xne mimsier iueu uegau iuc interesting ceremony, reading-the pre- J cisc, formal, concise yet perfect and I pretty marriage service of the Episcopal church. The responses were clear and distinct. The ceremony over, the many friends S of the now husband and wife gave them their hearty congratulations and wished them much joy, cheer and happiue-s in their new life. The ushers were I)r. E. W. Aiken, of Witmsboro, and Mr. Sweeny, of * New York City, and it is hardly necessary to say that they honored the offices assigned them. ? ??L!.l. in .111 adjoining room iiuu wmuu we were enticed there was spread a rich collation of toothsome entertainin bt. Properly and plentifully ?and- | wicliccivtween the covers, were bottles of chjunagne, to all of which due I and liberal ifention was paid. The mirth flowed fast, the old* | time and oft-nientioncft^Stpitality of i old.Charleston came to us;n a]i its ^ \ forcc. We toasted the groom's lull* t ihen the bride's, then her father's, ncxr i her mother's, then the health of the j attend ants and g&jsis, until the evening sun sinking: behind the western hoii/.oi: warned us of the lateness of the hour. The beauty and smiles of the gentler se.x gave us a keener zest and j no better relish was needed to make us enjoy the occasion. The bride, a pretty young blonde, was elegantly attired in a hnndsome silk dress, heavily plaited, of the color known as ashes-ot-roses, which : well became her ana the effect added a l new beauty to her natural prettiness. | Among the gentlemen, "VVinnsboro wa* represented by Messrs.
