Marriage.?On Thursday eveuing, 22nd inst., Mr. H. L. Pope and Miss Janie A. Martin, daughter of Mr. Robt. L. Martin, of Mouticello, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Quite a concourse of the friends of the bride and groom assembled to witness th? ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. II. B. Garriss, paster of Salem Presbyterian Church. The groom is well known in "Winnsboro, ana wc congratulate him upon securing so charming a wife, and in unison with their many friends we wish them j a long life of unbroken happiness and : prosperity.

One night last week he failed to tun: ' up as usual to be locked in for the | night.

Fatal* Accident.?On Monday rao rnimr a fatal accident occurred on the plantation of Mr. llilliard Wylie, | near town. From what we can gether ! the following are the facts In regard to the accident: Two colored boys aged twelve and three years respectively, were left at home by themselves, and during the absence of the parents the older of the two got a pistol in the house, (which, by the way, it is claimed was not known by the parents,) I and going out of the bouse was followed bv the vounger. When in the => yard the boy attempted to fire ihe pistol, biU the hammer would not stand. After several attempts to fire it, the hammer slipped from the finger i of the boy, and the ballet was buried in the brain of the younger brother. The coroner, with a physician, went to the scene of the accident on Monday, and held an inquest. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. This is another lesson in regard to the loose handling of fire arms. Removals.?Mr. J. ~\Y. Bofick and familv occupy the Shaw building. Mrs. Jno. II. Cathcart and family occupy Mr. Bolick's former residence. Mr. A. \Yr. Drown and family have moved to the Duval House. Mrs. W. J.

He has been engaged in merchandising in this county for several years. All his friends and acquaintances will regret the departure of him and his wife and family from Fairfield. Not wishing him any harm, we hope he won't stay long. He will engage'in merchandise with Mr. W. B. Douglass, late of this county. Messrs. George and Willie Brice, who have been 011 a visit home, at Woodward, from conege, recurneu xo their studies on Monday.

Dry agist, Bippus, Ind., testifies: '-I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very uc> remedy. Even,- bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of ten years' standing." Abraham Ilare, Druggist, Bellville, Ohio, aflirms: "The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my twenty years' experience, is Electric Bitters." * Thousands of oihers have added their testimony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit-1 ters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle | at" McMaster, Brice & Xetchin's Drug I Store. * I i . | A Xf.eded Ciian'ge.?We were forcibly impressed with the fact on the occasion of the fire on Wednesday I morning, that the engine should be ; drawn by horses- It takes some lime | for the bell to alarm the people, and it j j takes farther time for them to assem- j ble. In the meantime the fire is i raging. After the engine is taken out, I i there are usually not more than twenty j iiiuu piesem, iinu uaujiug a ueuvy j engine like the one we have is a most | laborious job, especially when it is | dragged through mud over ankle j deep. The progress is necessarily | slow, and when wooden buildings are ! in danger the fire is correspondingly J I fast. It is therefore apparent that if j faster locomotion can be obtained, it ! j becoinos the duty of the people to i have it. The Town Council now owns ; two strong mules, which are used for I draying and other purposes. Why i cannot these be brought into service to haul the engine? The cost would | amount to very little more, and even if j it did the saving that would accrue J would amply compensate for it. If ! these animaio were stabled in the j | building now occupied by the engine, i | during the night, they could imme-! ! diatelv be brought into service in j * w i hauling the engine to fires. In davj light enough men can be found to pull i the engine immediately, and there i ; would be 110 need of the mules if they j ! were otherwise engaged. It is dif- j j l'erent at night, and we suggest that! j the Council give this matter iheir i ! earliest codsideration. We Speak This Load. | 1. "We are bloated bondholder?. Come in and loaf with us.

For some cause, probably the s weather, there was a very slim attend- * ance, but those present enjoyed them- j selves. Many presents were on hand for t distribution, but owing to the lack of s recipients not half were distributed. ] The entertainment opened with a song beautifully, rendered by a dozen or { more small girls, after which there s was instrumental music. Then came [ the great part of the evening when j Santa Claus appeared and delivered ] the presents. 1 Saturday was a most disagreeable J day, but notwithstanding this there was a large crowd in town, and all \ merchants did a most gratifying busi- t ness. Had the day been pleasant, s trade would undoubtedly have been j the largest in ten years. As it was, ( however, everybody was satisfied. I The crowd was comparatively orderly, * although the police force made several arrests, mostly for intoxication. On Sunday services were held in mnst all of thft churches. the services baring special reference to the day. | Monday, by common consent, was 7 set aside as Christmas day, and most <; of tbe business bouses were closed. The streets were thronged all day by happy crowds, and the small boys t kept up an incessant din with fire 1 works. There was nothing of special J note in the amusement line ?until the afternoon. A large crowd in bnggies, J on horseback, on foot and every other ' sort of conveyance repaired to the t race track, a mile below town, where 'J several races among county raised horses took place. This was a most enjoyable entertainment, and the crowd was in its best humor.

The fraternity with their invited guests repaired to Stevenson's Hotel, where a substantial and bounteous dinner was prepared, which was er>jo\ed and demolished but not entirely destroyed, as there was sufficient fragments remaining to feed as mauv more. After a few jokes, sirrns and grips we returned to the lodge, to resume labor, and before closing the following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted: That this lodge return their sincere thanks to the ladies of this place and community, and to Mr. and Mrs. Steven?ou for their generosity and kindness in furnishing anil preparing refreshments for the occasion, and their efforts and success in making the day happy and pleasant. / Mr. and Mrs. Moore and daughter, of Texarkana, Texas, are now paying our town a visit, being the guests of Dr. L.

At the appointed hour the bride preceded by her bridesmaids entered the parlor, which to the eye of a close observer presented quite a picturesque scenery, the walls here and there were dotted with floral emblems, and where ! ?Vva onil ctfinfl tcqc iiKf- i 111^ VS/(U UiiU UilUV UVWNSVl IT J V?
