John’s Methodist church on Wednesday af ternoon on the occasion of the mar riage of Mr. Elliott B. Welch, of Charleston, to Miss Rosa P. Wigfall, daughter of John N. Wigfall, Esq., of this place.

The church was beautifully decorated wilh evergreens, and wreaths, and acrhea the head of the aisle two gates of evergreens swung, and were opened at the proper time by a tiny couple, of little girls, the first of the four lit tle couples that preceeded the regular bridesmaids and groomsmen. The church was densely crowded with those who were expected and those *who were not, so much so that it was quite impracticable for many of the guests to get in at %li At half past four o’clock the bridal party was formed in the porch.

Burning of the Pine Fibre Factory. Ou Wednesday morning our citi zens were shocked at learning of the destruction by fire of the Pine Fibre Factory at Croft’s, aear Aiken, on the previous evening. It seems that about lialf past seven o’clock in the evening fire was observed in the wet roofu. the place where the straw was first decferticated, and which is al ways saturated with water. The superintendent, Mr. J, E. Platt, and the operatives at once attempted to extinguish it, but as fast as the flames were extinguished at one point they broka out at another, leading to the belief that the floor had been satura ted with kerosine oil. The building was well supplied with patent fire extinguishers, which worked well and flooded it with water, but failed to put out the fire. The building was soon enveloped in flames, and burned to the ground; all of the light machi nery was destroyed, but some of the heavier, together with the tw'O boilers and engines do not seem to have been much injured. The destruction of this Factory will put a temporary check upon a most E romising industry, and one, that v\ ill e of fgreat value to our part of the country. But tl:e check will be only temporary, as the Factory will be re built at once, and the experience that has been gained and lessons learned during the building of the late fac tory, and the perfecting of the neces sary machinery will be of vast advan tage now. The proprietors have most promising patents, and they do not propose to Jose any time in putting up a better factory than ever. The Pet Stock and Poultry Show. The exhibit of the Inter-State Pet and Poultry Association in Charleston next week promises to be an unusu ally attractive one.

PADGETT, 1110-1112 *r STANLEY’S <1UKATl.ST^^HUv “IN DARKEST WHAT NAPOLEON WAS in his prime in the field of war, that Stan ley is to-day in Exploring Africa and opening that Continent to civiliza tion.—Boston Herald. “ ’THK END CROWNS THE WORK,’ did I say December 10th, 1886? I say it again this date of 1890. I have brought exiles back to their homes; I have reunited parted fami lies; I have rescued those who were iu sore straits; 1 have borne the young and aged and placed them in their loved land of Egypt: I have brought the beleaguered Governor out of his threatened bondage. Where fore, as those were the aims of the work and they have been accom plished, I say ‘the end crowns the work.’ True, I am blanched and white, but what matters it? I have naught to regret, and if any mission of like nature presented itself I should ftill wish to do it; for whether here or there, life stays not, but rushes on apace, and men must work and strive. But let us do it bravely and fitly, with all our strength.”—Stanley's Letter. AGENT— Tor Aiken and Edgefield Counties, John Laird, AIKEN, S. C.
