JULY. 7th. 1910. PRETTY HOMK WKDIMMi. A most beautiful home wedding was solemnized in Dillon Monday - , afternoon July 4th., in the presence of a large crowd of friends and relatives, when Miss Hula Ixngh Jackson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. /1, S. W. Jackson, became the wife ot Mr. John Franklin DeWitt of Tampa, Fla. The guests were met in the hall by Misses Del a Berry, Nina Jackson and Ada Hayes and ushered into the dining room, which was effectively decorated in sunflowers, and where Misses Dacy Jackson and Olive Davis gave each an opportunity oJ registering in artistic hntiripainted books, to he kept as souveniers by the bride. Here too were displayed many lovely and useful presents attesting to the popularity of the young couple. Immediately before*the entrance of the bridal party, the parlor was thrown open and after the guests were conveniently arranged a solo, "O Promise Me" was delightfully rendered by Miss Nina Jackson, sis.er of the bride. The. parlor decoratious were teautlf.i'lv and artistic, the color scheme being white and green. The altar was placed in the hay window, the background consisting, of- a single large heart surrounded by r. solid wreath of green. The sides were banked witii ferns ami potted plants. Directly in front stood an ivy-clad arch from which , w?u> bUHpcnuua an immense licit covered with white hand made catn? tions. Encircling the arch wennumbers of white and green candies1, which furnished the only lights, the room having been previously darkened. Promptly at 5 o'clock the strains of Gohengrini's Wedding march, played by Mrs. H. A. Willis.served as a signal for the hall portiers to be dr^wn by two young girls and the bridal party entered. First came the flower girl, Miss Marguerite Fpontman, of China/ Grove, N. C., looking very sweet and dainty in a blue frock, in empire style. She was followed by the maid of honor, Miss Winnie Jackson, the bride's sister, wearing ah andsome dress of pale blue shun'ring silk and carrying an armful o f white carnations and ferns. Next PB mo ho irrnnm with hln ? ? v. p> Willi II lO UCTl 111(111, Mr. Luther Dew of Red Springs N\ C. The bride'entered leaning on the jrm of her brother, Mr. Listen I \ ":kson. She was exquisitely at^ <4. neft? in u draped gown of wliito peau de chyne with a tunic and i bodice trrimming in a pendant effect and made entirely of silver lined beads and peuris. Her veil was becomingly adjusted with lilies of the valley, in Marie Antoinette style. She carried 21, shower bouquet of the same flower. Standing 'beneath the arch and with the melody, "Hearts and Flowers," heard faintly from across the hall. Rev. H. A. Willis the bride's pastor. In a very impressive ceremony pronounced them husband and wife. As the first chords of Mendelsohn's wedding march were sounded and the young couple were turning around the little flower girl pulled the ribbons attached to the bell and a shower of rose petals descended upon them. congratulations were received in \the hall after which tin; bride changed her costume. Her travelling auit was of tun cloth with grey and leather-colored trimming and w^na'. buttons. ^Mnmeaiatelv after the ceremony the 'couple left on the 6.20 train for Florida.

M < > N K V ON REAI / LONG TIME. RELIABLE REPRESE THE JACKSON L FT WORTH. TISXA8 ARC J I Hpmks in KUUrri?n Terms of Klterbe's Work in (^Mgrew. ) It is quite a compliment when a man like Champ (Mark praises the work of one of his colleagues. There is 110 questioning the fact that Congressman) Kllerhe hus done a lot of bard work in Congress and the minority leader appreciatees what he has done. Mr. Kllerbe has secured more appropriations for the sixth than any other congressman who has ever represented this district. lie hus not done it by'toading' to the republicans, but simply by keeping his eyes open and "staying on the job" while others were idling their time away. Speaking of Mr. iSilerhe's work in congress Champ Clark, minority leader in the House, says: "Mr I'llerbc is a member of the great committee on rivers and harbors and looks out vigilantly for the interest of his section of the cbuntry liis most notable performance was in the closing days of the ttUth Cougress, when he enabled the Democrats lo defeat the ship subsidy grab . I do not know that this tale has ever been printed, but it ought to be. When the roll was called the Republicans had won by three majority, a few Democrats voting with j them. If wo'could get two Iteiuo] erats to change their votes, we would i beat them by one, for taking one ! off one side and putting it on the I other counts two. I myself induI fed one Democrat to change his vote, but I could not budge the \ others. Finally Finley told me to ' get Kllerbo to see a certain Democrat who voted with the Republicans and that the chances were Ellorbe could change him. I had tak; en a dead set at the man myself, but could not move hint. So I demanded a recapitulation of the vote and got Fllerbc to go and see this man and get him to change, and we ' won by one majority. So I shall always feel under great obligations ! to Finley for suggesting to me to see KUerbe and I am under great I obligations to Ellerbe for seeinir the miin and inducing him to change his vote. It gave us the. victory." ? Fanner's Mcctnig. Dr. S. A. Knapp of Washington, D. head of Demonstration Farm Work for United States, Hon. O. B. Martin.

All farmers are requested to come to Dillon on that day and hear these noi ted speakers.

COTTINGHAM, Pros. Dillon Co. Farmers Union. HAROLD OOUSAR, i County Demonstrator. 1 mm mm lalitor .Norion of the Mullins Mess senger, and Editor . Piatt of thd Enterprise, had a fisticuff on the streets of Mullins Saturday afternoon. The fight is alleged to be th result of attacks on the administration of Editor Piatt while he was mayor of Mullins. After the fight between Mr. Norton and Mr. Piatt ' llie difficulty was renewed between 1 Mr. Piatt and Mr. Fitz Norton, a son or rjuuor Norton, and several blows were exchanged. It would bo a good Idea for the town and county jointly to purchase a pair of blood hounds. There are no blood hounds in the county and I it the set vices of such dogs were ' needed it would be a difficult matI ter to bring them to Dillon in time to accomplish much good. The an1 inials are inexpensive and there ' comes a time in every county when blood hounds are needed. In addition to rendering good service in the apprehension of convicts, they ! also have a good nigral effect in a > community. p .
