A marriage which took.the public by surprise was that of Mr. Robert Meredith Lominack and Miss Ouida Summer, occurring in Columbia on Sunday, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. E. 0. Watson at his parsonage. Miss Summer had been visiting1 her college mate, Miss Myrtle Roberts, 11 miles below Columbia, and Mr. Lominack met her in the capital city on Sunday when the wedding took place. The news reaching Newberry created much interest among the friends of the young couple, both of whom are very popular in their home city. Tne Driae is me attractive anu accomplished daughter of Mr. G. B. Summer and the groom is the efficient bookkeeper at Purcell & Scott's. He is the son of Chief W. H. Lominack ( and is .held in esteem by all who know him. His many friends congratulate the happy groom on the success of his undertaking and welcome him and his fair bride to their home at Mr. Lonnie Dickert's. I The first Chief Lominack, or any one else in Newberry, knew of it was a 'phone message he received late Sunday afternoon informing him of the marriage and that the couple would arrive- here on Monday. Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin to Speak. * " - ? *- ?- ^ Al* A /""Im fLJ"1 n y*m r\' ?$y request ut mc ^uuul* raimcio ! union, Hon. John L. McLaurin, of | Bennettsville, will make an address at ! the court house, to the farmers and to the public generally, on Saturday, September 28. His subject will be "Banking, Warehouses and Cotton Marketing." The pub'ic generally is urged to attend. TO E>TER BUSINESS HERE. Mr. 0. L. Robinson Severs Connection With Railroads, Purchasing 5 and 10 Cents St?re. Mr. G. L. Robinson, union station ticket agent, will today sever his connection with the railroads to go into business in Newberry, having purchased the Anderson 5 and 10 cents 6tore, which he will continue at the same stand. The taking of stock will begin immediately, and Mr. Robinson will be ready to serve the public in the next few days. Mr. Robinson came to Newberry in the employ of the Southern railway about eight years ago. He was promoted to the position, of union station ticket agent. In the discharge of the trying and exacting duties of this position, he has shown marked efficiency and by his fidelity to duty and his uniform courtesy and consideration he has not only won the confidence and high esteem of his employers, but he has made himself deservedly popular with the patrons of the roads and the people of Newberry, who will wish for him a great degree of success in his business venture. Had Mr. Robinson remained in the railway service, he would easily have risen to more responsible positions, in fact, having been offered promotions, but he found the work too con ruling, uenerai regret nas oeen ex pressed by railway officials at his decision to sever his connection with the railroads. Mr. Robinson is peculiarly qualified for the mercantile business, and Newberry is to be congratulated upon his decision to remain in Newberry and enter into business here. Mr. W. H. Anderson, who has been manager of the Ten Cent store in Newberry, will not leave the city, but will be with the Anderson Dry Goods store, where he ill be pleased to see his j rr?onv frinnrlo onrl xxrf 17 onrvA +rv ! uiau/ 11 i^/uu?y auu ttiii 0^1 f t luc 111 tu j their interest. It is gratifying to Mr. Anderson's many friends to know that he will remain in the city. Mr. T. K. Nelson, of Sumter, will take Mr. G. L. Robinson's place as' ticket agent at the union station in Newberry. Mr. Nelson takes ^narge today. Epworth Orphanage. Saturday, September 28, will be W/\rTr TVstr in Cmttli Porfilino. fn? fHso ??

Day plan is to get all who will to- con-' tribute the earnings of one day uf la^ bor, or the income of one day, for the care of the orphans, and to direct their gifts to the institutions of their choice. These institutions are maintained by i the voluntary contributions of, our people, and they need all the financial aid the Work Day proposition can possibly bring to them. We urge a general observance of the day and liberal responses. Let the proposition mean something to the . orphanages which are caring for the homeless and j fatherless children in South Carolina. Truly yours, W. B. Wharton. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 5, 1912. ISO COUBT >EXT WEEK. It Has Been Agreed to Try No Jury Cases?Jurors Advised >'ot to Attend.
