It does not seem to us that a casualty list of 258,000 indicates that "even with her relatively tfhy ay, has boon remiss in her duty to And as for “little Jeff,” it i to some that this epigram and many others by himself and his lanky colleague were calmly appropri ated without credit from various para- graphers and jokesmiths. Thus does Bob Oonsales, of the State- paper, valiantly come to the defence of that dear England. The casualty list soeaks well for the bravery of the Brittah troops, but we respectfully sub mit that “her relatively tiny army” in what inspired “little Jeff's" epigram, “lifted" though It may have been. According to recent official figures, the British Empire has a population of >06,294,752. It would be interesting to know what is the casualty list of France, with a population, including her colo nies, of only 92,631,325. And we might remark in passing that our sympathies are, and have been since the beginning of the war, with the Triple Entente. One of the most beautiful weddings of the season was that of Miss Olivia Belle Harley, of this city, and Mr. George H. Peeples, of Estill, which occurred at ten o’clock on the evening of 9th inst. at the loving suty#ban residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alonza E. Harley, the Rev. S. W. Henry officiating. The house was artistically decorated with ferns and palms. The color scheme was carried out well with an abundance of roses and sweet peas, the house being a perfect bower of flowers and oresenting the appearance of a veritable fairyland while the lawn and driveways shone with the dreamy lights of many lanterns, when promptly \ at the appointed hour wedding ’ march was skillfully rendered by Mrs. Bessie Bates and the bridal party en tered the spacious parlor in the follow ing order: The beautiful bride, wear ing a most stylish and becoming travel ing suit of putty color with accessories to match and carrying in her arms a gorgeous bouquet of ferns and sweet peas, entered with her maid of honor, Miss Ruby Attaway, who was lovely in a handsome gown of pink crepe meteor over net; next came the proud groom with Mr. W. D. Harley, brother of the bride, and as the impressive ceremony was being said Miss Nelle Smith sang softly, “O Perfect Day." Many loving friends were gathered in that hospitable home on the happy occasion when the fair bride gave her gentle hand and trusting heart into the safe lifekeeping of one so well worthy of so charming and accomplished a partner in the journey of a happy pros perous life. That the future may hold only the sunshine of happiness is the sincere wish of all who have known the lovely bride and who have known the noble, generous character of the groom, who is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Peeples, of Estill and a highly successful business mas. After sincere congratulations were given the happy couple left for Wash ington to spend their honeymoon, and the recollections of that evening of soft lights and sweet music and rippling merriment of laughing happiness will long be pictured in the unforgetting memories of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Peeples. Among the out-of-town guests pre- i sent were: Dr. and Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. Yeomans, and Mrs. Peeples, of Estill; Mrs. Johnson, of Savannah; Mias Smith, of Johnson; Norman Ellis and Gallic Anderson, of Martin. “Who’s man is Wilson, anysr^y? asks Wm. Eberhard, a GERM AN-ameri- can of Charleston, in a particularly bitter attack on the President. To be perfectly frank, we don't know, but it is quite evident that Kaiser Bill hasn’t any lien on him. The present illness of King Constan tine of Greece is said to have been caused by a blow delivered by his Ger man wife (a sister of the Kaiser) in the course of a heated argument about the war. Some fighters, those Germans. There’s only one better man than the man who gets behind and pushes in an effort to improve the town and that’s the mad who goes ahead and pulls. Be one of the leader? if you can, but anyway keep up! There can be no question as to where the sympathies of the Saluda Standard’s editor lie. Harken to what he says: “All gall is divided into three parts, Dernburg, Bernstorff and Wilhelm.’’ With war .clouds on the horizon, many an editorial heart is glad that it does not beat under the gold lace of a staff colonel.

Hughes writes as folkAvs: “I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that 1 thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedlord’s Black-Draught, and quit takiag Mher medicines. I decided to taka his advice, although 1 did aot have aay coafldeace la tt. I have now been takiag Black-Draught lor three months, aad it has cured am haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver.
