Master Willie Erwin is going to the Graded School at Pendleton. Mr. Arthur Erwin has a new buggy. Look out, girls. The protracted meeting at Asbary last week was a success. There wero several converts and several joined the church. We think the Asbory folks should bo proud of their preacher. There was a picnic at this place last Saturday afternoon. All enjoyed it. It was a picnic to ba rernomberod, and the supp3r waa best of all Thesm-ill grain crop is fine this yoir. If nothing happens, everybody will make lots of wbaat. ? hope the rolling mill will b9 established at Anderson. Mr. S. C. Goorge and Mr. J. L. Steven son have established a sawmill near this place, and are going to put a gin np alao. We wish them much success, as both are bossing men. With be-it wishes to all BONNY BELLE. A Brilliant Wedding at Belton. Dr. William Cowan Bowen and Miss Ria Adule Poor?, of Bilton, were mar ried nt 5 30 o'clock last Wednesday after noon. Tue scene ot the wedding was the Baptist Church, which wan crowded to its utmost capacity by an interested and well wishing assembly* Tasteful floral decora tions, a simple and beautiful ceremony, a pleading array of feminine loveliness and harmonious costumes were conspicuous features of an almost ideal nuptial oc^a ?ion. The wedding marohes were played by Miss Daisy Rice. The bridal party, ushered hv .Messrs. Hu?b Bowen and Herman Poore, proceeded to tba altar in tbe following order: Miss Jessie Sanders with Mr. E. T. Breazeale; Miss Eva Stringer with Mr. B. E Geer, of Green ville; Miss M itt if? Brown with Mr. I. W. Cox, of Pelzer ; Miss Rosella Bowen, sis ter of the groom, with Dr, J E. Poore, of Lancaster, brother of the bride ; Miss Ma mie Poore. sister of the bride, with Mr J. D Campbell. The bride was escorted to the foot of tbe altar upon tbe arm of her father, Capt. James W. Poore, and there by bim delivered to the care of the expec tant groom. Tbe words of the marriage ceremony were concisely chosan and im pressively pronounced by Dr. Charles Manly, of Anderson. The bride presented a charming appear ance in a handsome gown of white silk, trimmed with white chiffon with white veil, diamond ornaments aad bouquets of maiden bair and lilies of tbe valley. The bridesmaids were attractively attired in creations of organdy of different colors and variously trimmed, the whole pro ducing an aggregate effector fascinating contrasts aud beautiful proportions. Tuesday evening previous to the wed ding the bride delightfully entertained at t^a the mern hers of tbe bridal party and a few other intimate friends. The home of Dr aod Mrs. B iweu will be among ibo residents or Belton, who will not idil to congratulate their CJUI tnumt? upoa the continued possession of a groom ol' proven worth :uul merited popularity, aud a bride to whom scant justice un?Kiitatiugly accords in addition t i fairless ol feature and sweetness of di? position too possession of many pre emi nent inteliec.ual aud moral excellencies. X Respectfully Referred to the Mayor and City Council. Whereas, in the mistakon judgment of a former Council, it bas seemed meet und proper ibatthe city needed au ornament in tue shape of a street sprinkler, not con urning themselves with buying a cheap article, it having been represented to them that a cheap sprinkler would soon "fall down" unless a little water was put in ic at least once in five years, not that our streets would ever need sprinkling, but with a prophetic eye, seeing that our side streets anda number of the more impor tant ones would soon fall iutoa state of innocuous desuetude, owing to their growing popularity as a rendezvous for Daer'skulls, bones, hoofs, straw and cotton from emptied bedticks, broken bottles, chips aod tin cans, the fertilizing qualities of wnich are regarded as extremely h'gh, they calculated that when grass and weeds flourished in the streets, on the sidewalks aud In the sewers, it would then be the proper time to convert sncb streets into potato patcher, trim up the road scrape to lie the potato road, use the sprinkler freely on each patch and keep the garbage wagons busy hauling off discontented bicyclists. Now, therefore, be it enacted by the Mayor, the honorable Council concurring, that inasmuch as the time bas arrived when two thirds of the streets in the city ate now impas-able to bicyclists and well nigh so to all other modes of travel-bal looning alone accepted-that such streets shall ba opened for potato patches to be appottioned aocording to the frontage on such streets so opened, guaranteeing to L such cultivators the free use of the afore-M said scrapes, sprinklers and garbage carts, the property of the city of Anderson ss oiten as the necessary legal proceedings may be instituted against us in proper form and an order secured from the Court, sustaiued by the State Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of tbe United Stetes for such service. Such patches shall be subject to a yearly rental of one-half of all crops made. EXT BA DRY. Corner Items. Nothing having been heard from ns through the columns of your naper. Mr. Editor, for the past few wesks. I take the liberty of writing a few items in order to let all whom it may concern know that we the proud and independent people of the Cjruer Township are abreast of the times, and are fait climbing to the top round ol the ladder instead of sinking into a state of despondency and oblivion If on come of these bright beautiful mornings oue should make a survey and inspection of our neighborhood, be would be surprised at the many improvements that are rapidly taking place. For instance, our roads are in finer condition at prespnt than they have ever been b?fore, made so by the strenuous effirts of Mr Sam. Jackson and Mr. J W. Bowie- Again, we ace that the land is being more thoroughly prepared for cultivation tban has ever been don? previous to this. The best fields of small grain WK have seen in this County are growing right around us. Ne*t, we have never bet?re in the history of our neigh borhood seen so many new dwellings going up as there are at the present, which go to show that fur people in spite of the war and bard times, are making money ; for without money it would be impossible for sncb buildings SB these to be erected. We could go on enumerating if space and time would permit, for there are many other improvements too numerous to mention, which of course contributes their part to our progress and advancement Mr. A. S Bowie is ahead of most of the farmers of this County, in that he has a telephone svstem, which rons from bis store to different parts of his land, thus bringing bim in al most instantaneous con tact with the different parts of his farm. It would be well if some of our other far mers would imitate Mr. Bowie in this respect. Rey J. V. Black ha3 been away for the past few days assisting Rev. R. F. Brad ley, of Troy, consequently lhere was no preaching at Generostee on Sunday. Rsv. R C. Lieon, accompanied by his daughter, has been in Charleston for the P'ist week visiting relatives aod attending the reunion of ex-Confederate Veterans. Rev. W. T. Matthews, Chancellor of Clinton College, sppm the night in our neighborhood recently. Miss Nattie B'iwie, who bas been visit ing relatives in Townville. has returned borne, much to the delight of her many fjiends. Miss Iola Johnson, of Anderson, spent a Ph'-rt while last week with her sister, Mrs. J. A. Cook. Miss Mabel Smith, who has been teach ing in this vicinity for some months past, lett Monday morning for her home in Gistonia, ?. C. Miss Mabel is a most estimable yoong lady, and it is with the greatpst regret that we sse her leavo. Tho patrons of the school will do well if they can secure her services for the ensuing year. f>r as a teacher she has but few equals and no suDerior*. Mr. lidiara McGee, of Eisie, visited our neighborhood recently. Como sgain Isham for lo ?ho waits fer you. Mr. W T. A. Sherard has recently pur chase! a new buggy and pair ol horses for himself. Why is it that orin of tho original d-3 is wearing such a haggard countenance which iii fiil'cngether ai variance with his usual hsbiU It must have been occasioned by tue un ti mel v departure of tho beautiful and charming S'. ('lair. Several nf the young people attended the plo nie at Anderson ville last Friday. They report a very pleasant time. The regular May meeting will begin at Good H >pe Church n*>xt Satnrday morn- < ing at ll o'clock. The pastor will be : ai-Bisted by Rev. J. G. Henderson, of I Cokeabary,8 C. "ANDROMKDA." I Denver Hems. Tiiis beautiful, bright morning, when we lonk around us and see nature una dorned in all its spring loveliness, our minds revert to the sceues that are bein;,' enacted almost at our doors by war, war, cruel relentless war, and contrasting tho one with tba other, we wonder why men, human beings, will do so? Why tb is bloodshed ? this destruction of life and property ? Why does man thus reckless ly and ruthlessly, without the fear of God, thus provoke war? Why do not all men see alike and not trespass upon the rights and liberties of others not regard ing the golden rule? What a beautiful world would we have and peaceful, if neighbors, as well as nations would re spect the feelings and rights of others, thus avoiding all the hard thoughts and feelings and blows that inevitably follow a disregard of tho rights of others. But aside from war, the young people of Denver attended a fishing party Satur day afternoon at Mr. Wm. J. Erwin's Mill. Quite a number of visitors were also in attendance. After spending sev eral pleasant hours in angling for the finny all were invited up to Mr. Erwin s residence and served with most elegant refreshments. Mrs. Erwin certainly knows how to make the young folks enjoy themselves, and no doubt she will often have them asking for a repetition of Saturday afternoon, especially by the girls, as she is the "mama" of three hand some boys. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Sylvester Elrod gave a "musical" in honor of his friend, Cadet Heller, of the P M I. All spent a most delightful evening feasting on strawberries and cream. On Sunday a. m. following a large crowd was in attendance at Snndy Springs and listened to a line sermon by Presid ing hider Power. Sunday afternoon there was preaching at v? elcotne by the Rev. M. McGee in bis usual impressive style. Quite a number came over from the sing ing convention at Lebanon. The following were visitors at Denver Sunday : Dr. Oscar Sanders and brother, Levis, Mr. O-ear Browne aud mater, Miss L?iz?, Cadet Willie Garrison, of Clemson, Mr. Harve Pruitt, of .Starr, t adet Parker, of the P. M. I., Miss Pearl Long, of Co rinne, Misses Ida and Ada Simpson, of Piedmont, Mr. Will. Tolly and Miss Meta Henshall, Alice and Annie and Air. Sam. Harper, of Anderson, and Mr. and Mrs Albert Farmer, of Brovles, S. C. So you eee Denver is "as warm as she looks " We wonder if Coudnctor Anderson doesn't think so anyway, from the way the girls waved at him on Sunday alter- j noon? More anon. "INCOG." Pendleton Items.
