Marriage at high noon to-day at the home of r the bride's parents, by Rev. T. H. Plemmons, j Mr. J. E. McDavtd and Miss Bessie Jones, all | of Abbeville. r The beautiful home of the bride Is moat c artistically decorated lor the happy occasion, n with bright flowers and evergreens, present- t Ing the appearance of an Ideal Southern home. A number of Invited guests will witness f the ceremony, after which best wishes and t kindest cougratulatlon will be extended. The t bride will be tbe recipient of a great many i, beautiful and useful presents, which truly a attest the high esteem and love in which h Rbe Is held by her friends. u The bride is one of Abbeville's most beauti- c ful and charming young ladles highly esteem- v ed and loved by hOHts of friends lor ber many t< r virtues of mind and heart. h The groom Is one of Abbeville's most promt- a nent business men having the esteem and good will of all who know him. v Immediately after the ceremony delicious ti relresb mr n ts will be served and the bridal par- ? ty leave on the one o'clock train over the o Southern for a bridal tour carrying with i them best wiBhes and congratulations of e many friends. a PATROTIC ASSOCIATION. ? We notice by the public press of the State ii . that a general call has been made to the patriotic ladles of South Carolina asking b them 10 organize themselves In an associa- 0 tlon to be known as the "Association of tl Patriotic Award." The object of the organiza- tl tlon being to raise funds to purchase a medal ' for Lieutenant Victor Blue ibe brave, courag- P , eous, and daring South Carolinian who n risked all on earth, even life itself, for the o . love of the "Stars and Stripes" and his "na- tl live land." Victor Blue and his daring deed o makes him one of the brightest heroes of the t: Spanish-American War. His thrilling and T fearless deed, with his name made famous h thereby, will be handed down through bis- ti tory to unborn generations as one of the most gallant and daring deeds ever ascribed to a P South Carolinian, and which will ever be ti enshrined in the hearts and memories of the I' ( Amerlcen people. In honor to Lieutenant >' Victor Blue a meeting of the patriotic ladies w of Abbeville has been called for next Friday w afternoon. We are sure that the ladles of v this historic old town will turn ont in full force to do honor to the gallant son of South it . Carolina, esteeming It a privilege to oontrl- a bute to such a noble and patriotic cause. " c< HOME FOLKS AND VISITORS COMING AND GOING. a' Ct MlssBettleS. Evans who is known as one ' ofthe bright and popular sales ladles of the 01 "City Drug Store" left a few days ago to at- a lend the Normal Collegiate Institute of Ash- 01 , ville, North Carolina. Many friends wish for T her a bright and successful future. oI Capt. Branch left last Thursday lor Laurens lj to undergo farther treatment. His many ti i friends were indeed glad to see him and hope be will soou return to his old home, where he will be surrounded by loving friends, and live rt out the allotted days of hl8 life, even three ii score and ten. ai Mr. Johuny Yates, one of the popular and e< reliable engineers of the Seaboard Air Line, e< was in tbe cily last week greeting his many 01 . friends. U Miss Ellola Hayne, one or Greenville's charming young ladles, returned homes last b Monday atter a most delightful vlnlt to her * friends Misses Florideand Willie Calhoun. s Mr. Tobe Felzer of the Seaboard Air Line S ! was In tho city last Monday shaking bands c with hosts of friends. .

This Is a neatly finished building, c , and does credit to tbe gentlemen who built t ' It. We extend to Mr. Ethrldgeand family a e hearty welcome to this historic hill. Mr. J. C.

On last Sunday mornlug pastor Rev. J. W. Daniel preached a fine sermon from Acts 27; I 55 and 30. At tbe conclusion of tbe services, tbe celebration of tbe Lords Supper was com ' memorated. At night Kev. W. X. Harmon, Presiding Elder, preached. On Friday night the first Quarterly Conference of the Abbeville station for this year was'held. Sunday ' was a bright, b'.Umy, sprlDg like day. Is It of any significance, that notwithstanding all the 1 continued bad weather, this year, . almost I every Sabbath has been a bright day. We 1 are Indeed a highly favored people and should , remember, "To whom mufch is given, much will be required." I THE HUB. This Is the sign of another new firm in Abbeville. They should advertise in the Press ! and Banner and have "a large "circle" of "rotating" around the Hub, then their busl; ness will be lively these hard times. In dull , times there Is nothing like "Printers Ink." 1 Try It, > bain! rain! rain! i The rainy season seems to be upon us, and 1 If It Is anything like this In Cuba, we don't blame our boys for wishing to come home. We don't remember ever to have beard so , much complaint, or to have seen the roads In ] 3 such bad condition, almost impassable all , over the county, thereby almost stopping public travel and causing a great falling off } In business of all kinds. PRESIDENT MCKINLEY. j His excellency and those in authority un) der him should send a force to the Islands recently gained by conquest, and swep that disturbing and lawless element from the face of the earth. This faction has become emboldened by the already too great leniency extended to them by the United States. We believe Injustice and right, and would say ] In Justice to our soldiers, and In honor to our j country, let us either take the Islands, recently gained at such tremendous cost, or _ call back our troops and give them up forever. Let the war be more aggressive, and j less defensive. Clean them up, and that at once, and maintain our honor as a nation In 1 3 the eyes of the world. < PERSONAL MENTION. ( { Mr. J. H.

The Navy Department Believes Thi an Engagement In In Progrens T? day In tbe Very Heart of the Clt] Washington, Feb. 6.?Admiral Dewey hi abled tbe navy department today i allows: "Manila, Feb. 6.?Secretary of the Nav; Washington; Insurgents bave attack* lanlla. Tbe Boston leaves today for Hollo I elleve the Baltimore, which will return 1 lanlla. Two men wounded yesterday c oard Monadnock, one seriously. (Signed )ewey." The receipt of this dispatch announclu bat tbe Insurgents had attacked Man! aused a commotion at tbe war departmei nd tbe text of tbe dispatch was transmltU bere by tbe navy department. The first coi luslon reached was tbat another battle wi ">? ho insnnpnwere not confli ag their attacks to tbe American lines, bi re re directing them at tbe city of Manila 1 elf. But upon consideration, tbe officla eached the conclusion that they wei llstaken in this conclusion and that b ome of those mishaps that frequently ooct his was simply a delayed dispatch froi >ewey. General Corbln pointed out in suj ort of this idea that tbe postscrip to Generi ilia's dispatch last night describing tbe batt f Saturday night and Sunday morning wi Bcelved at tbe war department at ll,o'cIoc ist night or more than four hours In advan< f receipt of tbe story o( tbe battle wblc bould have preceded It. Then, too, Generi itis's last message was of sucb a reassurlc ature and spoke so deolslvely of the drivlo ff of tbe Insurgents that it was believe earcely probable tbat they could have r ewed tbe attack upon tfce Americans t oon after their defeat, Tbe naval opinion was Just tbe reverse < bis. Naval officers feel sure that Dewey ispatcbes bad not been inverted and tbi bere bad been more fighting. Of tbe ou ome tbey bad liltle doubt, pointing out tbi lewey's guns command tbe entire olty an be approaches beyond, affording a mo atisfaotory backing for General Otis' open Ions. A D hofmnan t.hARA VAPVlnfiT vleWS tbftre 0101 0 taken In consideration the opinion of tt 'lllplnos attached to the (unto bere to tl: Sect that the amount of attaofc of Satorda 'as preciplttated and not promedlated tbi 1 was so preclplated by the unexpected fell ag of a Filipino by ap American guard an bat tbe result was to bring on an action i ae weakest part of tbe Filipino lines. If this opinion Is well founded It woul eem to be possible that the naval view orrect and that tbe Filipinos began action i aelr strongest point, between Manila an lalolos, tbe insurgent capital, about 15 mill Istant from Manila. Wbea tbe news came this morning tbi notber dlspatb bad been received froi leneral Otis, it was awaited wltb tbe greatei iterest. It turned out, however, to be tt sport of casualties. GEN.
