Ho:sion bas stealthily made rpgu lar visits to the west-side but no one suspected that Cupid would consummate matters as early as this. So, when' it became known in Edgefield that Mr. Holston and Miss Ella Stone, of Modoc, were married on Wednesday last every body wore a look of pleasant sur prise. They were quietly married at the borne of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stone, the Rev. J. Tv Littlejohn officiating. The bride is not ouly a very beau tiful young woman but possesses the qualities of mind and heart that will make ber an ideal life partner, and fortunate indeed is Mr. Holston in winning her. She is a full graduate of the Greenville Female College. On the other hand, all who snow Mr. Holston .will feel ?bat :he Fates have dealt kindly with ;he bride in casting her lot for the 'uture with so noble, so kind aearted and so thoroughly un selfish a man as Walter Holston. Elis entire life has been spent in Edgefield and those who have mowu him best, most intimately, 'steem and honor him most.
