Thornwell-Roach Nuptials.
On Tuesday afternoon at 4
o'clock the marriage of Miss
Nancy Witherspoon Thorn well
and Mr. John Knox "Roach was
solemnized at the home of the
bride's mother, Mrs. J. II. Thornwell.
The wedding was a simple one,
there being no attendants, except
the immediate families of the
bride and groom. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. R. G.
McLees, the brother-in-law of
the bride. The bridal party
entered the parlor to the strains
3f Mendelssohn's wedding march
rendered by Mrs. C, S. Link.
There were only two attendants,
the maid of honor. Miss Lady
Bird Thornwell, the bride's
youngest sister, and the dame of
lonor, Mrs. J. H. Thornwell, Jr.,
x sister-in-law of the bride. The
jride wore white silk and carried
vhite carnations.
The many presents were a tesimonial
of the popularity of the
xride and groom. Mr. and Mrs.
ioach left on the afternoon train
'or Rock Hill, their future home.
Mrs. Roach is the second
laughter of the late Rev. J. H.
Thornwell. As Miss Thornwell
>he was one of the most popular
ind lovable von no* ladips nf t.ho
own. Mr. Roach is a young
jusiness man of Rock Hill, at
)resent secretary of the Victoria
Cotton Mill. He is a young man
>f many good traits of character.
When Whiskey Was 50c Per Gallon.
The Times was a few days ago
landed a section of an old day
>ook presumably used by a mer:hant
in this vicinity in the year
829. The old book was found
n the third story or garret of
he old White house, just north
>f town. Many of the pages
lave rotted away during the
nany years it has lain away, but
i few are fairly well preserved
ind the writing on these is plainy
legible. Following are a few
mices which the people of those
lays paid for the necessities of
ife:
Tobacco, 20c per pound; shot
L21-2c; powder. 44c; nails, i
L21-2c; sugar, 131-2c; cotfee 20c;1
Depper, 37c; homespun cloth.
13 l-3c; borax, 62 l-2c; paper, per
juire, 31c; whiskey, per gallon,
>0c; bounce, per gallon, 75c; eali:o,
10c per yard; molasses, 75c
jer gallon; tacks, 18c per pack;
:otton handkerchief, 25c, camor7~
-i
jnu, ojc per yarn.
It will be noted that everything
lamed above sold in 1821) at about
:wice the price that it is sold toiay,
except whiskey, which is
low sold at about four times j
>vhat it was at that time. And
'.he increase in price is no sign, |
either, that what people nowa-1
lays call whiskey is an improvement
over the whiskey that sold
/ears ago for 50 cents per gallon.
York County's Corn Crop.
It is generally conceded that
the corn yield will be somewhat
larger throughout the county
than that of last year, but not
near so large as it would have
been had there been no drought
early in August and the floods
which destroyed the crops on
lowlands in the latter part of the
month, says the Yorkville correspondent
of the Charlotte Observer.
Several of the farmers
who entered the contest for the
three prizes offered by the York
County Farmers' Union last
spring for the largest vields
from one acre of land will harvest
from 75 to 115 bushels the
acre, and it is likely that many
who did not enter the contest
will do equally as well. It is
generally conceded that the
acreage sown in small grain this
fall and winter will be larger
than in any one year during the
past five or six.
