B. H. MILLER INTENDANT. Election For Town Officers of Little Mountain-Woodmen of the World. Little Mountain, March io-Signs and wonders. Our hoary heads tell us that a calm March is indication of a blustry April. Spring has made her appearance and verdure clothes the fertile vale, but preparations for plant ing have been retarded, and the pre diction is that Jack Frost will "nip" things in the bud about the 23rd. Snow fell here freely on April 6, but nothing was injured by the frost on the following morning. The farmers of this section are us ing for fertilizer principally cotton seed meal, as they believe this will yield better results. This is a stand it is gratifying to see our farmers take, for by so doing they will pat ronize home industry and thereby build up their country. There was a town election held here on April 8 for intenlant and four wardens, which resulted as fol lows: B. H. Miller, intendant; Messrs. J. K. Derrick and J. E. Shea ly wardens. Messrs. J. B. Derrick, S. W. Young and T. L. Shealy tied for the position of the two remaining wardens. The contest by these three gentlemen will be decided on the af ternoon of April 15.

Northern Tourists in Aiken Afraid of South Carolina Divorce Laws. A dispatch from Augusta says thai Woodbury Kane and Sallie H. El liott of Newport, R. I., came to Au' gusta on Friday from Aiken, S. C. where they had been spending the winter, and where they were recentll married and were married in August: 'by a justice of the peace. The second marriage of the coupl was performed under a license issue< in Richmond county, Ga., and wa deemed necessary because divorce are recognized in Georgia, while il South Carolina they are not, Mrs Elliott being a divorced woman. N< explanation was offered by Mi Kane, but there appears to be genera satisfaction that the law has bee: co~mplied with by having the ma: riage legalized in a divorce state. A dispatch from Aiken says th the report that Mr. and Mrs. Woo bury Kane were remarried by Magi trate Bennett in Augusta created co siderable surprise in Aiken in vic of the fact that the parties were ma ried in St. Thaddeus Episcopal churi by the rector, Rev. T. W. Clift. C Monday, March 27 last, when Cal Kane and Mrs. Elliott were marri in Aiken, this wedding aroused co siderable discussion, owing to t fact that Mrs. Elliott has been vorced and the laws of South Car lina are very stringent upon the su ject. It is said that Mr.- Clift pe formed the ceremony in the face considerable objection upon the pa of some of his congregation. It also said that some of the ladies his church harassed him considerab upon the matter, some pleading wi him hysterically, and seeming to thil that the church was desecratcd I such a ceremony. Mr. Clift is.an ea nest man of strong convicti5n;. an as he knew that the marriage which he was to officiate was strict sanctioned by the laws of his chur and by the laws of South Carolir and performed the ceremony, h congregation are now apparently sa isfied. The second act, which occurred Augusta, was totally unexpected, ar as before stated, has created sor surprise. There' was no apparent re son for a second ceremony. Rev. T. W. Clift was seen ai seemed as much surprised as eve one else. He has no statement make, and all he would say was th he knew no reason for it and cou not understand why the Augus ceremony was performed.
