Newry, May 10.-Editors Courier: lt wa? on Wednesday evening, May 14, 1002. in tho Newry Hall, richly decorated and brilliantly illuminated, wo hail thc El casu re of witnessing ono of the most eautiful marriages that ever occurred at Nowry. All nature scorned to smile on this happy occasion, for it was a lovely ovoning indeed. A little boforo 0 o'clock tho ushers, Messrs. Fred. Unger, J. D. Whitmirc, Leo ( 'handler and S. Luther Richardson, of Seneca, had most of tho inimonsc i'm on;; comfortably seated. G.: the arni of Mr. Fro:1., linger tho Baptist minister from Seneca, Hov. .lohn U.

Being near tho hour for tho consummation of this happy occasion, Mrs. Fred. Unger, scated at the organ, hogan to play the wedding march. Tho two little (lower ?iris, Odessa Boggs and Edith Lindsey, passed down tho aisles to a station near tho altar, where, under two beautiful arches, they opened tho gatos tor tho reception of tho bride anti groom ami attendants. Tho at tendants marched down the aisles and took their places at thc altar in the following order: Mr. Wood '/.. Whit mire ana Miss Anna Porter; Mr. Charley Knox and Miss Eflio Kilburn ; Mr. Styles Barron ami Miss Monta Knox. This part of tho occasion being so nicely car ried out, tho bride and groom entered, tho bride loaning on the arni of her sis tor. Miss Ida ('alias, and tho groom lean ing on tho arm of his best man, Mr. J. Karlo Harper, and stood before tho altar heucat h a beautiful arch, from which swum-; a beautiful monogram in tho shape of a heart, with the appropriate letters "B.-C." interwoven. Amidst tho best ordor and duo attention on thc part of tho largo assemblage present, tho min ister came forward, and in a solemn and impressive manner pronounced them man mid wifo, with tho sacred invoca tion that tho union just formed would bo a happy ono, and that their guiding star through lifo would bo tito religion of our blessod Saviour. Tho contracting parties wero Mr. Robert Harrison Boyd, a son of Major J. L. Boyd, who is now in tho employ of the Nowry Store, undor the management, of Mr. Ashmoad Courtenay. Tba bride is a daughter of Mr. and Airs. N. S. Cal las, and a splendid lady, too. Tho bride and groom aro both of Nowry. Now ns to tho attire of the contracting parties and tho attendants: Wo must confess that as wo aro not a princo dry goods and notion merchant wo aro at a loss to givo names and kinds of goods of which tho different attires and dresses wero mado, but suffice it to say that all were nicoly dressed and would havo dono our cit ?cs credit. The popularity of tho brido and groom was attested by tho many useful and beautiful presents given thom, tho im mense crowd that witnessed their mar riage, and tho hearty congratulations they received, all combined to mako it ono of tho nicest wei, Jingu your scribe has over soon at Nowry. So, with host wishes for thom, aud th-vt their path through lifo may bo thickly strown with the olivo branch of peaco, wo leave thom With love's honeymoon. II.

DARB THE CHARLESTON SHOW. An Oconecan Visits the Exposition and is Highly Pleased with it. Walhalla, May 10.-Editors Courier: As I was requested by so many while in Charleston to commend the oxposition to my friends if I likod it, I'll try to have my views publlshod in The Keowee Cou rier, as mose Oconeeites, as well as num bers of-others, take that-the greatest of all county papers. On the 0th of May my brother "Jim" and myself Btarted for tho exposition, bent on a good time. After missing the traiu, getting jugged and many other drawbacks, we roached the "City by the Sea" on Wednesday; tho 7th, and bogan to "rubber-neok" around to see the show of Charleston and the oxposition. As I had never boon there before, we mado a straight shoot for the harbor, which is given up to be one of the finest in tho world. We wore so pleased with the sight we decided to take a ride around tho harbor. Accordingly, we bought excursion tickets, boarded a boat aud procoodod to view tho harbor. Wo .passed Fort Sumter and on out through tho jetties, and then sped onward some eight, or ten miles on the majestic Atlantic. Coming hack wo congratu lated mn sci ves on not hoing sea-sick, and "pulled out" to soo what we could find around historic old ?St. Miohaols. Wo encountered tho old sexton at the door, who kindly permitted us to ramblo at largo through tho building and grouudH. In tho houso wo found tho pow in which George Washington sat, and saw tho sholl marks on tho pulpit. Tho pulpit itself was quito a show to mo, as I had road in oaily ohildhood tho romaneo of Sir Henry Haughton, who preached hero in ante-bellum days. Aftor examining tho interior thoroughly wo decided to climb tho tower. Aftor winding up some hundred or moro foot wo carno to thoso old historic chimes which havo tolled tho ins and outs of many generations. Aftor standing in silent admiration of thoso intoresting old bolls wo wont up to .tho top of tho ladder, which has boon thoro for over two hundred yoars. Horo you got a splendid view of tho city. On getting back to tho ground wo ontorod tho old burying ground. lloro many distin guished dead aro laid to await tho resur rection morn. Tho Charleston Orphanage is ono of no moan size, as it accommodates at present 2-10 homoloss littlo follows, who aro being brought up iu tho way thoy should go. They all seem to bo very cheerful and satisfied. Everything (from cellar to top of tower) is clean and nico. One of tho littlo follows aotod as guido and showed us everything. Tho Old Folks' Homo -is anothor groat thing for tho poor and infirm, lloro thoy havo a row of nico houses for thoso unfortunates. Everything that plonty could suggest is thoro for their uso. The market is a (plaint and queer old thing. 1 don't suppose thoro is another ono like it in the whole country. They bave everything for salo thoro. Tho museum is the largest in tho South. Wo next viBitod tho eolobrated Mag nolia (lardons, which aro located sixteen miles up Ashley river. Aftor being walked around through tho semi-tropical shrubs and Mowers by tho guido wo wore willing to climb out on tho top deck for a cool sail back to Charleston. On tho way wc had tho thrilling oxporiouco of picking up three mon who had boon out ilshing in a little smack, which had cap sized in mid stream. Aftor thoy woro sufo on board they informed us thoy were from tho Northwest, hoing in chargo of exhibits from that part of tho country. Our first object aftor coming back from tho Gardens was to h.int up tho old hall where Washington was banqueted. This house lias been the placo of many interesting scenes. Stedo Hon net was imprisoned hero in 17IS for piracy. In I7U7 it was used for a custom house, and in 1771 the tea sent over from England was hold by force, not hoing allowed to ho sold on account of tho tax act. Tho British used it as a prison in 1781. It has, thoroforo, boon tho misorablo abode of many illustrious patriots. Aftor taking leavo of this placo wo wont in search of other places of historic interest, and woro not long in finding ono, for wo walked right up to the statoly old Pringle mansion, which has been in tho fnmily for over a hundred years, and was tho stopping place of Washington, LaFayotto and many other men of noto. After looking nt this groat old houso for some timo wo decided that we had eaton but ono meal in forty-eight hours, so wo started for our "martin hole" in a hurry. Aftor wo had masticated almost ovory available scrap of eatables, fooling some what refreshed, wo decided to go on tho Midway for the ovoning. This is ono of tho most interesting features of tho ox position, and it is brilliantly lighted at night by thousands of electrio lights. Tho first thing wo saw on tho Midway was tho fireworks, which woro simply grand. Our boyish curiosity not being satisfied, wo went from thoro to seo tho Streets of Cairo, an Egyptian show, which was also good. Wo noxt visited .Jim Key's stago, tho wonderfully intelligent horse, who can read, calculato, koop post oflice, divo for monoy or do any other "old thing." Now comos tho ticklish part of our day's rambles-a visit to hcavon and hell, or Darkness and Dawn-which jue tried to onjoy, as thoro wero two very amusing ladies in tho crowd who? would scream at every skeleton and simply went into spasms when tho cloven footed monster made a rake at thom with his "fork." fleing rolieved of this Strain wo again pushed off for some deep, which was badly needed. On our way to our lodging rooms wo took a walk through tho Citadel Square, which is ono of the most beautif il places iu tho country. Tho women of tho South real ized this, for hore was tho spot thoy dioso for tho elegant monument they arectod to John C. Calhoun, which, is a noblo shaft, costing, wo Bhould think, >De humli eil thousand dollars or moro. After reaching our lodgings, on Char lotte strcot, wo had a very pl en.sunt talk with tho landlady. Mrs. (iartlenean, who is a typical Charlestonian. and gavo us many pointers to places of intorest, but shortly she assigned us a neat clean [.oom, and we wore soon wrapped in tho most pleasant scones of "Slunibor land." Early tho next morning wo wore up ind doing, for at a very early hour wo In every town and village may be had, the Mica Axle Grease that makes your horses glad. ?out th?Bo things that make life easy my 3N AND ORANGE PHOS ORANGEADE Instead of being disguised with too iat pleasant acid taste and flavor of o cold, delicious and very refreshing. ESDAY AND FRIDAY. OMPOUNDKD, DAY OK MIGHT. jj Druggist. wore whirled, by cai, out to Magnolia cemetery, which in a, most beautiful habitation of tho dead. Hugh 8. Legare, the Confederate soldier, ana many other illustrious groups of bodies are lu keep ing there. After breakfast we visited the monu ment of Pitt, "The Great Commoner," and what should we behold but the bust of Henry ' rim rod by the si.de of tb' mortal Briton's rem?mbranos. ,T va* quite a treat to us, because he i** ne of South Carolina's most stead*. , sons, embracing all of the most generous prin ciples of a poet. Next we ''took in" Rutledge avonue, which is lined with fashionable resi dences. One of the many is that of the Qerman Consul, Wittio, which in spa cious and beautiful. The next place of espeoial interest is the Thomson Auditorium. It is the house whore the old heroes wero enter tained when they met in Charleston. Wo .muled up the si. John's Hotel aud looked for the cannon balls, which were said to be sticking in it, but were disappointed. Wo got our "heurt s right" for another trip on the hissing brine. This time wo visited Sullivan's Island and the well known IBIO of Palms. Here we found hundreds of bathers and sight-soors. Tho tido was in, HO you know tho sight was glorious. After a pleasant stay of some length, wo crossed back to town, aud "done" the Midway again, seeing Fair Japan, the all-absorbing mirror mazo and a fow other tricks by out landish people. Wo decidod it was too wot for auy more "show to-night." On Friday, bright and early, we wont to tho ex posit inn grounds and bogan to j rummage through the many things i h ere. Wo saw first tho government ex Iii hi t of fisheries, consisting of ovory specimen of tho tribo with fins and gills. Tho Woman's Building, porhaps, con tains tho most interesting oxhibits. Thoy have the old Uibbos houso of Revolu tionary famo for a dwelling placo. This houso was hoadquartors of Sir nonry Clinton while ho was oncampod at Charleston. A visitor ought to givo sovoral days to this houso and contonts, but wo stayod but a short timo examin ing tho old wondors, tho couch on which Washington sat, his sword and many documonte of tho Revolutionary ago drawn on parchment. Tho silk cul turo room is interesting in tho ext reine, showing silk from tho leaves to tho fin ished fabric. Almost all the counties had niuo exhibits in this department, but (I am both ashamed and sorry to say) Oconoo is "not in it." Tho United StatoB has a splendid ex hibit also, consisting of almost every thing tho mind can conceive. Among tho most intorostiug to us was tho an cient and modern weapons of wai faro, from bows aud arrows, dirks and swords of the clumsiest mako, to a 12-inch gun throwing a ball through two foot of solid steel, mounted so dolicatoly that a man can turn it with ono hand to any point of tho compass.
