The last of the series of run riages iu Edge fir ld tb;.*, have the chief topic of conversation f some months oceurn d laatevenii at "Edgewood." The bride, Mi Lucy Dugas, is the eldest daught of the late "Dr. G^o. C. Dugao ai grand-daughter of Ex-Gcv.'

He is graduate of Cle nson college, hi completed a course in law and uow private secretary to his fathe The Rev. Dr. Plunkett of Augm fa, a'personal friend of the groom family, performed tho ceremony. Mr and Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr we aro informed, will make thei home in Washington till Congres adjourns, after which time the will reside at "Edgewood." Lott-?llen. The home of Mr. J. fl. Allen, whic was ?raped and festooned thivughoi with exquisitely beautiful evergreen and all manner ot" ari isl ic decoration was tiie scene of the prettiest hom wedding Tuesday,, afternoon that ha ever been solemnized in Edgelleh the contracting parties being Mis Ettie Allen and Mr. William E. Lot both of Edgefleld. As the pea's of the wedding mareil which was so beautifully rendered b Miss Ethel Paj ne, a cousin of the brid? announced the arrival of the momea when diese t woyouug hearts and live should in God's provideo io longe remain twain but be mao i in th holy bonds of wedlock, V. 'Sciatin, minister, Rev. C. F. Bu. . pastor o the bride and a college-.nate of th groom, took Iiis appointed place in th parlor. In the order 'mentioned th following attendants marched ic taking their places on alternate side of the minister: Mr. J, R. Murphe; and Miss Zena Payne, Dr. A. H.

In the presence of a large as serobage of admiring friends arie loved ones, and in the sight of God ant the angels Rey. C. E. Burts in an im pressive manner pronounced thp wurdi that made them roan and wife til death do them part. Said the immortal Pope: "Charms strike the sight and merit wins th< soul." So it is with the beauiifu blushing bride of yesterday. Not only h\s she descended from an honor ed ancestry of whom royalty would be iustly proud but during her residence in Edgefield for the past six years, as Miss Kffie Allen, she, by her charms of personality, charms of manner, charms of sylph-like and very graceful form, has heen admired by all ; however, h-?r persona) charms are eclipsed by the merif that has verily been a part of her daily lite. This genuine worth has won the admiration and esteem of the very souls of all, making her a universal favorite. The groom, one of Edgefield's progressive young men of sterling worth, is a worthy son of an honored, patriotic, generous, noble hearted father, whose name he bears. He is a graduate of Furman university and possessess rare business ability, being honortd and highly esteemed wherever be is known. The bride was attired MI a beautiful creation of cream voile, pearl trim mings, wearing a veil with orange c'ossoms.. The maid of honor \,as at tired in white wash chiffon with satin trimmings, w:hile the other brides maids were beco niiigly dressed .in street costumes.

Thus ends the beautiful and happy occasion which marks the beginning of a life of matrimonial bliss. .,. A Beautiful Christmas Tree.

This tragic and untimely death cf this young man, who was cut. down while yet strong and vigorous with the promise of many years before him. is greatly deplored by his triends over the county.

The Bell Telephone company ha3 absorbed the South Carolina Long Distance telephone company, the lntterof which having been the owners of the local exchange. What i ffect, if any, it will have upon the Edgefield exchange can not yet be told. Generally speak ing, it is advantageous to tho pub lic to have two competing concerns seeking patronage than to be at the mercy of one who holds a rnouopoly. So far as our observa tion goes the Bell people are liberal in their dealings and doubtless the affairs of th?-, local exchange will in future be conducted in as satis factory manner as in the paBt. Heretofore long distant connec tions could be had from two ex cbauges in Edenfield-Lynch's store and "ceutral." It is not pro bable that both linea will be in operation in future.
