family have our heartfelt sympathy in
this their lnestimaoie loss.
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.

* JIERKY WEDD1SG BELLS.
Messrs. 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

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. J. W.
Seigler, Dr. E. W. Aiken, 0. W. Buchanan
and Q. D. Williford.
j The friends and acquaintances ol the
I happy couple accompanied tbera to the
j depot and then I he flickering rays of
I sunlight were contending a vain endeavor
with the fast coming shades of
night. The handsome pair blessed
with many good wishes boarded the
sou.'h-bonnd train and started on their
bridal tour. This ended an occasion
happily enjoyed by the guests, an
j event ever to be remembered by the
i participants. . Abogaik).
