The groom, with his best man, Mr. Louis Harrison, entered from the rear of the pulpit. Rev. Alexander Sprunt, pastor of the church, in most beautiful words performed the ceremoDy. The costume of the bride was ducbesse satin en train and she carried lilies of the valley with maidenhair fern. In her veil she wore a mag* nificent diamond sunburst, the gift of the groom. Mr. aud Mrs. Workman left on the midnight train for points south, where they will spend a fortnight. THE BRITISH AND THE BOERS. ^ The Dutch Farmers Seem to be Rather Stubborn Fighters. News of the fighting between the British and the Boers up to the time that the last issue of The Enquirer went to press indicated the most stubborn work on both sides; but with the British generally victorious. Later in* ^ 1 c ? lormation scows mai iuc ursi stunca were more or less colored, and that instead of being victorious, the British ^ were hardly able to save themselves from annihilation or capture. The battle of Glencoe, it seems, lasted until nightfall when the Baers, no longer being able to see how to shoot, withdrew. Pursuing parties of British fell into ambush and such as were not captured made their escape with greatest difficulty. Some 18 or 20 of the ^ soldiers who were this cut off, findiug it impossible to rejoin their comrades, made their way south to Ladysmith. After receiving a desperate wound, General Symons resigned his command to General Yule, who, leaving his wouuded, including Symons, in the hands of the enemy, retreated iu very ?. good order to Ladysmith, where he effected a junction with General White. General White had a fight with the Boers near Ladysmith on Tuesday, and bis first report was to the effect that the action was of trival importance. So it was officially given out in London. Afterward, however, it develop ed that bis killed numbered is aua his wounded 93, with 3 missing, a total of 109. According to the dispatches published Thursday morning, almost the entire British forces in Natal were concentrated at Ladysmith. They consisted of 12,000 men, and coming against them there were three strong columns ^ of Boers aggregating something like 25,000. The British commanders seemed to be confident of their ability to defend themselves ; but the situation appeared rather dark for them than otherwise. The British war office returns up to the close of October 25, showed that the total casualties from the commencement of hostilities, numbered IS officers and 76 men killed, and 55 officers and 435 men wounded, with 13 men unaccounted for?a total loss of 579. This does not include a squadron of hussars that went after the Boers at Glencoe. The squadron consisted of SO men, of whom only about -30 in command of a second sergeant, succeeded in reaching Ladysmith. _ t The latest information from Kimberly was sent out by a daring scout on October 22. At that time the town was completely surrounded by Boers and the British were prudently economizing their rations. Cecil Rhodes was represented as being serene over the situation and confident that the *" town could hold out uutil relieved. The dispatches published yesterday morning relate principally to matters about which more or less information had already been received ; but they do not yet give a clear idea of the situation for the reason that all of them seem to have been censored to a color that make them conform to what the British war office thinks the public ought to know. The death of General Symous was reported to parliament ou Thursday. The news was conveyed to the British by General Joubert/ substantiating what had already been suspected, that all the British wounded at Gleucoe had v been left in the hands of the Boers, and that as the result of the battles of Glencoe and Elaudslaagte the Boers VioH nr?mt? in nnuAssinn nf ft f*nn?irlfti' able quantity of artillery, ammunition and other war supplies. The British prisoners captured by the Boers at Dundee, after the battle of Gleucoe, are now in Pretoria, and are being well taken care of. On account of the heavy loss of officers iu the tigbtiug so far, 135 additional officers have been ordered to set out from England as speedily as possible. The bombardment of Mafeking by the Boers was commenced a few days ago ; but so far no results have been reported. General Cronje is iu comrnaud of the Boer forces here. Immediate concern is now centered on developments at Ladysmitb. The Boers are understood to have the town pretty well surrouuded, and it is expected that there will be some heavy fighting there. If they succeed in taking the town, they will have complete command of the eutire situation until the arrival of General Buller. Orange Blossom Special. Charlotte Observer, Thursday : Captain Jack Allison ran an orange blossom special last uightfrom Trenton, S. C., to Charlotte. He had seven bridal couples on board at one time?five white and two colored. The white brides were "all pretty aud timid," Captain Allison said. They were spotted as soon as they got aboard, and the rest of the passengers forgot to watch i the scenery, so intent were they on watching the uewly-married lovers. Captain Allison has been running on the road for 25 years, aud this is the first time he has hauled so many brides and grooms on one train. One couple came from Trentor.; two from Colum bia; one from Blackstocks ; two from Chester aud one from Rock Hill?all , South Carolinians. MERE-MENTION. General W. f. symonas, wno whs severely wounded at Glencoe on Friday of last week, is recovering. S. O. Jones, a section boss on a Florida railroad, was killed last Tuesday while trying to save a pet dog from being run over by a train. General Fitzhugli Lee arrived iu New York from . Havana last Tuesday. The people of Kansas prepared for presentation to General Funston a $1,000 sword on which is the inscription: "I'll . hold th;s position until my regiment . is mustered out." Funston refuses to accept the sword until the inscription is changed, as he never said anything of the kind. A Chicago bigamist, arrested on Tuesday, confesses that be has 42 wives scattered over the world. A total eclipse of the sun will take place on May 28 of next year. Athens, Ga., is considered the best place iu this country from which to observe the eclipse, and scientists will go there from all parts of the world. There has been a clash between , Mexicaus aud cowboys ou the Arizona border. Governor Murphy, of Arizona has asked the government for troops 1 with which to keep the peace.

At Thursday's session of the missionary council of the Protestant Episcopal church at St. Louis, Rev. W. McKoight commented on the advantage that the English church has over the American church, and intimated that he would like to see a union of church and state. "I think our flag would look better if it had a cross iu it," he suid. The immigration bureau report says that 311,715 immigrants came into this country during the last year. Of these, 60,000 . were unable to read and write. ( The American newspaper man who < was reported missing in the Transvaal, 1 has turned up on the Boers' firing j line. The terms of the will of the , late Cornelius Vanderbilt were made ' known last Thursday. The estate is , valued at about $70,000,000. Alfred f Gwiun Vanderbilt gets $50,000,000, ] and each of the other brothers and ? sisters, except Cornelius, $7,500,000. 1 Cornelius was cut off on account of a a marriage that was distasteful to his father, with $1,500,000. Alfred, however, has promised to give him $6,000,000 out of his share. AT THE CHURCHES. TRINITY METHODIST EPISCOPAL. | rev. a. k. brunson, pastor.

THE FARMER WHO FAILS TO buy an OLIVER CHILLED PLOW, a CORBIX DISK HARROW, a HOOSIER or CHAMPION DISH DRILL during the next 60 days, sr on or before January 1, 1900, will, if he lives until after that time, regret it. Strong language, that; but I am morally certain that every word of my opening sentence is true, and for two reasons: First, Because all THINKING farmers ire rapidly coming to realize that the only hope for them is to economize time and labor, by using the class of implements enumerated; and because the price after January 1, will be from 26 to 50 per cent, higher than. Now, in fact the wholesale price of Disk Harrows has already been idvanced from 25 to 35 per cent.; but 1 have not advanced my prices, and consequently they are less than present wholesale prices. The second reason is that if you buy some other make of Harrow, Drill or Plow, you will, like others, realize your mistake after it is too late. I have recently been offered plows sold last last fall and winter and guaranteed to be 'just as good as the Oliver" for one-half price paid by purchasers in part pay for Jliver!
