Nov. 12. at Spartan- u lrg, the. marriage of M\ss Margaret f. ooper to Mr. Nathaniel Moss Salley was ^ lemnized atmdO in the afternoon in the j, mitral Methodist church. The wedding e as a very beautiful one and there was <. >t a single shadow to mar the joyous " easion. for the clouds had rolled away ' id the sun came out brillantly before the p remony. Miss Coojter was charmingly * twned in a traveling suit of gray broad- ^ nth with a silk waist of old rose and a it of soft gray, trimmed with plumes () id touches of old rose. The dame of nor was Mrs. Marvin Boyd of Union. n, ic wore a becoming gown of old rose r( indsdownc silk ami carried a bouquet u, lovely pink roses tied with pink rib ?ns. I lie dainty young in iue uore an intense sheaf of bride roses tied with oad white satin ribbon. The church was effectively decorated ith palms and chrysanthemums with n re and there a toucli of brillant an- ai mn leaves. ti Mrs. Warren Dupre rendered a beau- M ul and elaborate organ programme ni iring the time the friends of the young st uple were gathering in the church, fi ith the tirst 'notes of Lohengrin's p Ucliless wedding march the ushers ai tered: Messrs.

Cooper, and the ai oom with his brother, Mr. J. Stokes w lley. The ceremony was performed by ai r. A. J. Stokes, the grandfather of the w ide, and was a very impressive one. P linediately after the marriage the young T uple took the train for Columbia, si liere they spent a day or two before st ing to Bamberg, their future home. C rs. Hal Dick gave a delightful luncheon honor of the bride at her residence on m ckens street on Wednesday. Mrs. Sal- ir 7 is a charming young woman, and the ly daughter of Mr. Francis P.

A Model Farmer. si Olar, November 18.?I have had the easure several times this fall of walkg over the finest little farm that I have cn anywhere, and my travels have been ^ ettv extensive. I refer to the farm of 5 r. S. S. Williams, of the Govan section. ? 2 is certainly a model farmer. His cot- ? n grew from waist high to as high as a m can reach, lots of it attaining the 91 tor height, and bad as the seasons have * en making from a bale to a bale and lalf per acre. All other crops are in ) oportion. I do not know how much Ct' ; corn made to the acre, but it is very w e. The well filled barns, immense w icks of hay, numerous "banks" of pota- ra ?s, lots of rice, peas, piudars, etc., fine lch cows, and large drove of fat hogs ike a picture of plentiful prosperity it is refreshing at this time of general . ard times." What a pitv we did not 1S, ve more farmers of Mr. Williams's type, p th some of almost evey product of the p rm for sale. "Plenty and to spare." lis would surely drive the wolf of want 9 >m our doors.

Good roads are a great blessing tr humanity. We are restless, active, moving beings. Each of us goes more or less Most of us more. The very comfort ol life becomes daily more and more dependent upon the ease with which we can get about. The ocean steamers have felt this and have progressed until they arc palaces rocked upon the billows. They nave CIH uowii ;i mi hi i ii > unit; iiiti? .< week's passage. The railroads appreciate Llit; impulse of the age. Palaces upon wheels, provided with every comfort and luxury, make up the modern train and toss mountains and plains at -a speed ittle dreamed of a few years ago. Bicycles, autombiles, electric cars, rubber ires and such devices made locomotion easy and rapid. The railroads must have jood, safe roadbeds to make possible and ;afe their schedules. The bike and autos nust have good track ways. Shall the farmers forever jolt and jog? ikall everybody else go with ease, speed, tnd comfort and the farmer alone coninue to jolt his way over stumps and uts? Shall he continue to travel the ame slow speed and carry only the same lalf load? Shall he continue to bog in nud througn all the winter and break his vheels and springs in gullies through all ummer? His tax money largely conributes to the comfort of all the others, lis freight bills and store bills largely omposed of freight contribute to keep ip the railroads and steamers. Must his amily know no comfort, bear every 'iirden, and suffer on? We say the time as come when good roads should be verywhere. When the public highways hould be pleasure ways as well as traffic aths. Good roads civilize and cnlight11 and elevate people. They furnish leasure, profit, and protection to the [immunity. The road laws need revisl'" and hrin?rin?r un to date. Let every legislature feel the pressure f a popular demand along this line uii1 they take intelligent action. The laterial for building permanent good lads abounds all over the South. Let s have good roads! John M. Hunter. Midway, S. C., Nov. 1(5, 1901. Peculiar Accident.
