I read once f a certain religious denomination that believed in rejoicing and feasting when one of their number departed this life, on the ground that they "fcelievei that the happy hunung ?ro*nds of the great beyond was a place of unending pleasure and happiness. and why should they mourn if that be true? And that the time for mourning was when two young people set out on the journey of life har %ttg plighted their faith the one to the ther. I do not know that I agree "With them as to the latter. As to the farmer if we believe that when one ?fces and is saved that he has gone to verlasting happiness, why should ire mourn? It would be selfishness on Mr part. But life is a perilous jourmey from childhood to youth,. A*d then, at last, to he a man; To fall in love, to woo, to wed; Wth seething brain to scneme ana plan; gather gold, or toil for bread; To ane for fame, "with tongue or pen; To gain or lose the prize; and then;? Y But If the golden hearts -be blend^1 In love then the journey must of Bsceasity toe one of pleasure. 'When #od made the world, he put love in, and none of It has ever been lost."

"'But \ #od has made it so that love given must unfailingly come back an hundred-fold; the more'we give, the richer we are." But the Journey goes on. J"rom childhoood to youth and to man. ?

It always gives me pleasure to see two young people who have plighted their faith and have started out on the journey of life. It makes me re*ew my youth to see their happineas and their bouyancy of spirit, especially if I feel that love dwells there Ifor all the world loves a lover. But I sat down and took my typewriter in hand to write a little storj -*f a real wedding that I had the pleas, ure of attending on last Saturday af ternoon at Dyson in Greenwood coun ty in the neighborhood of the scenes f my youth, though many have beei the changes that have been wrough since those day^. The old house ii tfiere, and the presence at the wed iing feast of my father and mothei made me fpel but a boy again, an( memories of the days that are gon< Mama, foot nr?d fhiW There were no many present who were th?re whei I left the community to go off l< school, and that has not been so loni go. I can recall now only Dr. an< Mrs. H. N. Sloan who have sine* moved to the city of Ninety Sir, bn at that time were living in the neigh J>orhood. On last Saturday afternoon betweei 5 and 6 o'clock Miss Floride William son and Mr. J. Hubert Zimmermai % stood beneath the proverbial weddinj bell in the spacious parlor of the oI< ante-bellum home of J. T. Dyson, th< great-grandfather of the bride, an< the Rev. R. F. Morris of the Metho dist church spoke the words whicl made them man and wife. Margare Williamson of Newberry, a cousin o the bride, was the little ring bearer and the little flower girls were Eugenis Monroe and Sara Williamson the lat ter a sister of the bride. The brid< was given away by her brother T. J Williamson. She wore a beautifu white satin dress trimmed with pearls and carried a bouquet of white roses and ferns. The maid of honor, Mis? Florence Williamson a sister of the bride, was attired in a dress of blue crepe de chine and carried a bouquet of roses. The attendants were Miss Mary Loj Glassglow pink crept do oldie; Kits Julia Timmerman blue crepe de chine; Miss Nellie Alman pink crepe de chine; Miss Lillie * Fair Sligh blue creue de chine. All of the young ladies carried beautiful bouquets of roses,. The bride's going away dress was a beautiful coat suit of brown hrnadnloth The regulation wedding march was played my Miss Ella Shand as th<? bridal party entered the large room in which the ceremony was performed. And softly and sweetly the music came while the ceremony was being sai\nd then the congratulations and the supper and the renewing of acquaintance and off to the train. The old mansion was decorated for the occasion in white roses and evergreens and made a pretty picture. This was under the supervision of Mrs. B. B. Kinard who is still young and handsome as in the other She is a sister of Mrs. B. 3C. Dennis of Newberry. Mrs. L. B. Aull had charge of the registering of the guests and the punch bowl was also In evidence. i Mrs. Zimmerman is the second daug_ J hter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williamson who live in the ancestral h^me of four o-enerations. Mr. Williamson is j a successful planter and Mrs. Wil| liamson is the daughter of the late Morgan Dyson and the granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson Dyson who built ! the old mansion away back ia the | early days of the l$th century. And was himself a large land owner and a planter In the days before the war. It Is a magnificent ante-bellum home standing on the everlasting hills that rise from the Saluda, and with its wide halls and large rooms and broad piazzas is an ideal country residence. t I enjoyed the three hours I spent in company with those good people and am glad I had the opportunity to be there. I came near missing it, however, as I intended to go on the train hut hearing the train was late I walked leisurely along and found i myself left. I would not hare gone, hut I was afraid I could not make them believe that I was left, so fortunately I ran on my friend, that reli| able and safe transfer man, Sam John i son, and he drove to the place in about the same time that the train takes. The irip through the country waa pleasant, ' though a little eool. Th# roads art fairly good. The bride and groom left o* the afternoon train for "somewhere te Soutfc , Carolina" and after they return will ' make their home in Columbia. The ! groom is a son of Mr. W. R. Zimmer; man who for several years lived at Chappells but now lives on his farm ! in Saluda. He is a graduate of Wof! ford college and altogether a fine young fellow. I wish them mighty | well. H-K.

M?~s Anna Finnstrom, matron of the Door of Hope, was on hand by special invitation, to give an account oi' her work. She went considerably ' into detail, citing many pathetic cases with which she had com in per serial touch. In the many years slie h~s iaborel "rescuing the perishing" she has tried tc help 1,400 persons, and 85 per cent of them have stooi true. The "Red Light District'' in Columbia is no more, and she says that the r>r>7ipa are hnrH a ffror tha "utropt walkers." Some of these, of their own free will of course, fall into her, hands. She has now 41 inmates in , The Door of Hope, besides 22 chil-1 dren?the oldest a boy of seven. Immorality has been, on the increase the last ten years, owing to the carelessness of parents in the upbringing of their children. As long as the "double standard" obtains, that is, "what is right for a boy is wrong i for a girl," virtue will continue to be: I below par. j While not a suffragist herself, Miss: Finnstrom believes that the giving of the ballot to women will go a long j way towards the settlement of moral i issues. When that day comes she stands ready to uphold the rfeht by I means of her vote. There are only ten bed-rooms in the : Door of Hope; so a glance shows Its j congested condition. If any of God's j children want to give of the means! which He has given them to its en- j largementt, now is their time. Mrs A. J. Bowers. j * KAISER EXTENDS..
