After the ceremony the bride and groom, ac companied by a few friends, went to the home of the groom, where a recep tion was tendered them. Mr. Dean is one of Anderson County7s most ener getic young farmers, and has won the hard and heart of a most excellent . young- lady. We join their many friends in extending congratulations. The marriage of Miss Alice C? ink scales and Mr. Richard W. Speer, both of this city, was solemnized at the resi dence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.'J. F. Clinkscales, on North Main .street, yesterday at 10.30 o'clock, Rev. ' J. N. H. Suinmerell officiating, and was witnessed by a few intimate friends and relatives of the bride and groom.

Nardin, Jr., Miss Ethel Speer, of Lowndesville, and Mr. Leroy Sadler, Miss Pauline Clinkscales iind Mr. Mark Speer. Then ?came the bride and groom and took their position under a tastefully ar ranged canopy, suspended from a frame attached to the.ceiling, the attendants being equally divided on each side. The sweet, soft music continued as the .solemn and impressive words uniting the happy couple were uttered by Mr. Summerell. The bride wore a beauti ful brown traveling dress and carried an exquisitehouquet of pink carnations. After partaking of lunch Mr. and Mrs. Speer left on the 2 o'clock train for Lowndesville, where a most enjoyable reception was tendered them last night itt the home of the groom's father, Dr. A. J. Speer. The bridal presents were numerous an d costly, silent but weighty testimonials of the high esteem in ' which the young couple are held. May the richest blessings of Heaven ever attend them.

The fanners, notwithstanding the bad weather which they have had since Xmas, have been pushing their work, plows and horses with remarkable alacrity, and in consequence thereof they have done a vastamount-of work ; yet they are badly behind, but with a few days of good weather they will get very nearly up with their work. The small grain crop is looking very well considering the extremely bad weather to which it has been subjected. Wheat is looking better than the oats, but a few days of warm sunshiue will make a great change on the appearance of the oat crop. Mr. Eros. Hamilton, who has been very sick in Russell ville.

The farmers of this section are very much behind with their work, owing to so much rain. The small grain crop is looking very promising in this section, especially wheat, the acreage of which is larger than we have seen in several years. Thc fruit crop is seriously injured.

Several of our young people attended the singing at I ?ea verdant on last Sun- j day and report good singing and an enjoyable time. Rev. R. G. Martin preached a good sermon at this place last Sunday. The roads have been very bad this winter and spring. The piling of dirt in thc roads makes good, summer roads, but in the winter and spring season, when the farmer most needs the roads, they fail to give satisfactory results. We hope- to see in the near future a step taken to macadamize our publie highways. If the work pro gressed slowly we bad better have a few miles of good road than mme at all. We want to see the convict force from this County put at this work instead of being sent to Columbia, where they are but little service to the State. The in crease of population ami the progress of our country demands better roads. Several of our Confederate Veterans are talking of the reunion in Charles ton.
