C.. were happily married Thursday, p September 2nd, at high noon, at the i] home of the bride's parents, Mr. and c r Mrs. W. D. Barksdale, on North j, Main street. Rev. Louis J. Bristow, pastor of the bride, performed the tl ceremony, only the immediate family a and a few friends being present. d The Barksdale home was beauti- p fully decorated with pot plants and cut flowers and in the hall Miss c Winona Barksdale, sister of the bride o served delicious punch. The cere- i i< mony was performed in the front jv parlor, where an altar was arranged ; r with pedestals, on these were placed j two brass jardinieres fiilled with ii Maiden-hair ferns. t The bride, who was unattended, p was beautifully gowned in a going- e away dress of blue broadcloth, with i t hat, gloves and shoes to match. Her j bouquet was composed of brides d roses, lilies-of-tne-valley and ferns.! n Mrs. Bundy is the second daughter v \ of Mr. W. D. Barksdale and is a f young woman of many charms, and h her friends regret that her marriage ; t. will take her away from Abbeville. d After a trip to California, Mr. and Mm!

I .* \ v The loss of 26 lives is the probable 's result of the attack on the Allan liner t Hesperian which officers, crew and t ' passengers say was the victim of a j torpedo. The body of one woman, c * * nU/\nlr irs AnnaMpfA?im *, r'ltv ui^u vx oiiucrv 10 at uwcuotuwix? i The others are missing. The Hesperian lies at the bottom r 5^ of the ocean-only d few miles from i the spot where she was stricken. t Official information regarding the cause of the explosion, which tore a i great gap in the side of the steamer, } is lacking. The judgment of Wash- i ington is in abeyance pending com- i plete information; the British ad- ( miralty has not made public the re- t port of the Hesperian's captain, and i Berlin is silent, not having any re- c ports from submarines operating in ] that vicinity. 1 Ae Berlin dispatch says no indica- ] tions of apprehension over any possible effect the incident may have on ' vrcxiiian-rvmcxicitn reiauons are apparent. Along the battle fronts the situation is as it has been for weeks past. The Germans evidently have been unable to follow up to any great extent their success in driving the Rus nans across to the right bank of the Dvina river near Friedrichstadt. Farther south, however, the armies cf Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Prince Leopold of Bavaria and Field (?' Marshal von Mackensen continue to ' 7-V advance. The Russians-- in eastern Galicia are disputing the attempt of the Aus tnans to push them across the border into Russian territory. East of Lutsk the Austrians finally have made their way across the marshy district. ^ Rome tells of encounters between ' Italian and Austrian infantry in which it is asserted the Austrians 1 were compelled to retire. Two additional British steamers have met with disaster, either by torpedo or mines. i Medicine should be taken at regu- i lar intervals, but hints may be taken i any time. i ZEMERINE HEALS CUTS, SORES, etc. The best remedy for Eczema.

Bryan dur- ' ig his address before the national k onvention of the Friends of Peace cday when he said: "I want you to be thankful that ^ fiis country's president loves peace k nd is trying, with every means at his r isposai, IU JJICSCiVC UUi v.vii?iwjr eace." Shortly before the delegates had heered Congressman Henry Vollmer f Iowa when he attacked the admin- j ttration for permitting shipments of ?ar munitions from America to Euope. Before adjourning the convention nstructed its officers to make known o President Wilson and congress the lurposes of the Friends of Peace as mbodied in resolutions adopted at he morning session. The resolutions, styled "a new; leclaration of independence," made j io formal demand for an embargo on | irar munitions, but declared for the reedom of the seas to all commerce, I ncluding that with all belligerents,1 nd it opposed the manufacture of leath dealing implements for profit. | The officers also were instructed to ' [raw up bills embodying these priniples for presentation to the next ongress. The best applause gathered incilent of the convention was when I eremiah A. O'Leary of New York,!' I ] >ne of the speakers, called the Rev. J. C. Berkemier, a German-American ( lelegate, and the Rev. J. H. S Somerille, an Anglo-American delegate, 0 the speakers' stand and requested hem to clasp hands as a visible reutation of charges that the conven- 1 ion was a pro-German gathering. Mr. Berkemier, a Lutheran miniser, clasped Mr. Somerville, an Episopal rector, in his* arms and kissed lim on both -cheeks. The audience rnrst into frantic applause. Mr. Bryan confined his address to * 1 discussion of the ethics of warfare, he necessity, as he described it, of he United States keeping out of the J jresent trouble, and of the duties of :itizens in doing all in their power . lot to endanger the country's peace. Jeremiah O'Leary of New York delounced the administration for not ;lacing an embargo on exportations >f war munitions to Europe. "When President Wilson put his ' oot down on the plan of an embargo ' '.e performed an act that involves op- ! session and tyranny," he said. "If t had been a question of placing ' an ' imbargo on the shipments of muni- : ions from America to Germany and f England had made a protest you I U? i.1 i. i: n l* L ;au uc duic tiicii trie pru-Hiiignsii 1. >ress in this country long ago would , lave convinced the president of the Jropriety of an embargo." 7OR SALE?A farm of 131 acres within one mile of Little River church, in Abbeville county.

Ga. t There is a fine national highwa i from Athens to Atlanta, Ga., alread] !. When the road reaches Elberton, t stops. Now, if we-can succeed i d getting South Carolina and Georgi . interested in a big steel bridge acrot t the Savannah near the S. A. L. R: .. crossing this would open up the wa > for one of the greatest thoroughfare from Atlanta towards Washington, I j C., in the South. Both sides coul I DUlia mis Driage very easily, uiiu s. would certainly put us in cluse touc 3 with each other. These thorougl ? fares are going to be built in th 1' South and we should pull for th route. I have written Hon. Sai I Tribble of Athens, and want to g< j' you Congressmen interested in th: matter.
