Sloan Wilkerson, a deserted husband.
I was united in marriage last Sunday at
! the Highland Park Mill with Miss Alice
Tarleton and Monday he was arrested
oil the complaint of the bride's father,
who swore out a warrant against him
for bigamy. About six years ago VVilkerson,
while living in Fort Mill, married
a Miss Moore, and to tlieni two
children were born. Two years ago, so
Wilkerson says, the woman ran away
with another man named Kstridge, and
going to North Carolina, married him
and has since been living with him,
Wilkerson retaining possesion of his
children.
Monday afternoon ho was before Mag|
istrate Beckam for a preliminary hearing
and in the default of a bond for $.VMi
he was com 111 it ted to jail to await trial.
i Wilkerson says his first wife having
married another man he thought. lie
should have the sameright and proceeded
to find a bride, whom he leaves sad

Notes from Gold Hill.
EditorTimos: It is rain upon j
rain and grass, grassy, grassiest.
'and lota more grass hollering to
other grass to get over. The gen- ;

proving himself to be a formidable
expansionist. Our Flint Hill
friend of turnip-seed fame tells us
that he is now digging graves in 1
which to bury the general, but,
brother, please remember that it
ia always catching before hanging. |
In the fifty odd summers that we
hnve followed the plow, we never
saw more, bolter, bigger, longer and
stronger grass than Gold Hill ran r
show right now. But, the sun is ;
| shining once again, and if it will
continue so for ten days ve will
show the gentleman a thing or two.

before the assembled Confederate |
veterans or tne estate in Columbia
| last month her eloquence evoked
i ^reat enthusiasm and slio was
i lionized by the old veterans,
j While her pathos melted the hearts
of her hearers, her utterances of
! patriotic love for the Houtli and
the smith's surviving heroes and
i the sacred cause for which tliey
went to battle, stirred the audience
ay no other speaker was capable of
doing.
