A Sunday Marriage.
Last Sunday afternoon, at the home '
of the bride's parents in this city, Miss
Annie Bruce, the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. II. Bruce, and Mr. Hebron
Berry, of Branchville, were happily
married. The ceremony look place at half <
past one o'clock, and Rev. M. W. Hook,
pastor of the Methodist church here, was i
the officiating minister. The marriage
was a quiet one, only the relatives and a I
few friends of the family being present.
After the marriage a magnificent dinner
was enjoyed by the invited guests.
The young couple left ou the afternoon
train for Brauchville, where they will
make their future home. The bride has
been connected with this newspaper for
the past year, and we have sustained the
loss of a valuable member of our force. We
think Mr. Berry is to be congratulated
on his choice of a helpmeet, and we, in
common with their other friends, extend
sincere congratulations and good wishes.
The groom is one of Branchvilie's young
merchants, and is succeeding nicely.
Those present at the marriage were: Mr.
P. E- Bruee. Augusta; Messrs. - Hammond,
Prank and Robert Bruce, Thos. Hutto,
Mrs. Annie Hutto, Mrs. F. A. Bruce,
Misses Eva and Cissye Bruce and Leila
Berry, of Branchville; Mrs. B. W. Gates,

Heath of Mrs. kinanl.
Mrs. Lizzie Kinard, wife of Mr. Adam
Kinard, who lives about two miles below
town, died at their home last Thursday
morning about four o'clock. Her death
was quite a surprise, as she had only
been sick a few days. Mrs. Kinard was
fifty-two years old, and was the third
wife of Mr. Ivinard. Her husband ami
three children, all girls, survive her. The
body was carried to Smoaks Cross Roads
Friday and laid to rest there in the afternoon
of that day. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. J. H. Stoudeumire,
the pastor. The deceased lauy was
a member of the Baptist church and a
consistent Christian. She will be sadly
missed by the husband and children,
aud their friends extend sympathy iu this
hour of sorrow.
Municipal A flairs.
Pursuant to the notice in this newspaper i
last week, calling for a mass meeting of <
the voters of the town to be held in the 1
town hall last Monday afternoon at live <
o'clock, a number of gentlemen met at t
the time appointed. We suppose between s
thirty-five and forty were present. No {
action was taken, however, it being the i
opinion of those present that the number s
was not large enough to nominate a mayor c
and aldermen, as it might give rise to t
dissatisfaction on the ground that the |
meeting was not a representative one. 1
The election is to be held next Tuesday, I
and it is every man's privilege to turn out c
and vote for the men whom he thinks 1
well best till these offices. As we under- I
staud the situation, there are two an- v
nounced candidates for mayor: Messrs. D. t
J. Delk and S. W. Johnson, and not a a
single candidate for aldermen. In the 1'
absence of any concerted action as to a
aldermen, we presume every man will L
go and vote for the men he wants and a
those receiving the highest number of a
votes will be the aldermen for the next h
two years. With only two candidates for
mayor, one is bouud to receive a majority g
of the votes cast. We have heard several e

RIVERS' BRIDGE MEMORIAL.
A Large Crowd Present ami Eloquent
Speeches Made.
Last Friday was the day set apart by
ihe Rivers' Bridge Memorial Association
rs memorial day, when they would meet
:o commemorate the heroism of the
gallant confederate dead, some of whom
lie sleeping in the cemetery on the memorial
grounds. No braver soldiers folowed
the starry cross than those patriotic
souls who volunteered from this secion
of old Barnwell county, and the same
;pirit of devotion to patriotism and
principle has prompted the custom of
nemorial day. With hearts full of loyilty
to those who fought and bled and
lied for their country's sake, each year
hoc*. I .Mr 511 it tionnlp meet to strew the
"l"v '"""O -
graves with flowers and to hear from the
ips of eloquent speakers the story of a
irave fight made by soldiers who feared
leath less than dishonor. Handicapped
>y many obstacles the people of the
divers' Bridge section have pressed forward
in this work of love until to-day
his memorial day is accounted the largest
,nd most important gathering in the 1
ower part of the State. Some of the 1
blest men South Carolina has produced
lave been the speakers on these occasions, 1
nd to be invited as one of the orators on !
lemorial day at Rivers' Bridge is an 1
onor to be held in high esteem.
Sad to say, however, some of those who
ather there each year do not seem to
uter into the spirit of the day, but take J
t rather as a day of recreation and pleas- '
re. Let us hope that this idea will be '
ispelled, and that there will hereafter be
lore of the true spirit of memorial day J
hown. 1
The day was a beautiful one, and as 1
sual there was an immense crowd of
eople present, from Bamberg, Barnwell, *
lamptou, Colleton, and other counties. 1
tefore the exercises were commenced .
lie Association held a business meeting, 1
t which Capt. J. C. McMillan, who has 1
erved faithfully as president for the past
:>ur years, tendered his resignation. Dr. ?
r. F. Kirkland, Sr., than whom there is (
o grander character, was unanimously s
lected president for the ensuing two
ears. Capt. McMillan has served the
Lssociation ably and well, and Dr. Kirkmd
only takes up again the work which 1
; near his heart?for the cause he loves so a
~ ?
ell?for we believe he was the nrst presi- i
ent the Association ever had. Capt. \y. 1
!. Sease and Mr. J. J. Copeland were f
lected vice-presidents; Capt. J. W. Jenny, i
jcretary; Mr. J. F. Kearse, Sr., treaurer; r
ad Rev. S. P. Cbisholm, chaplain. A v
ew executive committee was also elected, t
at we failed to get all the names. t
The memorial exercises were begun by f
song by the choir, then Chaplain Chis- g
olm offered a fervent prayer, after which
resident McMillan made a short bat very t
Impropriate and timely address, at the t
ose of which he introduced Hon. A. F. e
ever, Congressman from the second dis- I
ict, as the first orator of the day. After t
trr. Lever's address there was another g
mg, and Rev. E. W. Peeple9, the elo- s
uent and beloved pastor of St. John's v
aptist church, wa9 introduced. No f
-uopsis would do justice to either n
meaker. The speeches of both were in- t
?ed fitting to the occasion?one a grey t<
tired Confederate soldier, and the other c
ie son of a man who folio ved the flag P
II it went down at Appomattox?beauti- f(
illy illustrating the truth that the same p
>irit which induced the fathers to lay c
mwn their lives for their country's sake fi
ill lives in the breasts of the young men s<
' to-day. a
After the exercises the graves were tl
mcorated with beautiful flowers brought tl
the tender women, and it was especi- tl
ly noticeable to us that there was a b
- r a I U. H
ucii greater quantity 01 nowers uruugut "
ian ever before. t<
Then dinner was announced, and a o
jarty and generous hospitality was dis- a
msed by these whole-souled people to o
1, even the stranger within the gates. "
one were overlooked, but all were tl
ndly and generously cared for. b
After dinner social conversation and a t
meral mingling of the people was in C
rder, until a little after four o'clock, tl
hen many who came from a distance a
?gan to leave for their homes. u
Only one unpleasant feature marred the fi
ly. About dinner time a row took place S
1 the lower edge of the grounds. It H
ems from the best information we could n
ither that two men, named Barnes and r
ill, got into a fight, in which Till was t!
ightly cut on the throat and face. Then n
agistrale J. C. Copelaad and his con- s
able, Mr. Johns, went to arrest Barnes
* stop the tight, and Barnes cut them P
>th. Magistrate Copelaud was cut on the b
ft thigh and Johns in the right thigh b
id on the cheek. Barnes was badly beat tl
p in the melee, but made his escape, o
;veral physicians were on the grounds &
id they dressed the wounds, all of which b
ere slight, none of them being at all tl
rious. It was a very regrettable affair, f
id it is extremely fortunate that no one a
as killed or seriously hurt. We do not n
aow the origin of the trouble, but are C
raid liquor was largely responsible for
. In fact there was too much whiskey v
loat anyway. Numbers of men, while ti
ley were not drunk, were drinking, t
ore so we think than at any previous u
ithering. This is lamentable, and we
uly deplore it. Until last year these v
itherings bad been much disturbed by a
looting down iu the swamp, but last f
?ar the Association decided to break it n
p, which they effectually did. Now if
ley can stop drinking, they will have t
jne a good work. These memorial t
meetings are sacred occasions, and are t
- - i.! ntliAn O mon oVlAnlH V

ill be put an end to, at least to the exint
that it will not be so noticeable.

Wofford College Notes.
Wofford College, Spartanburg,
April 25.?Wofl'ord's baseball team bas
been able to record three victories to her
credit within the past ten days. On the
seventeeuthof this month we met Erskine.
The tirst few innings of this game were
real interesting, but towards the eud of
the game Wofford piled up a large number
of runs and before Erskine realized
where she was at, the game was over and
she was defeated by the score of 12 to 2.
A more interesting game was played on
the twentieth with Wake Forest. The
score was close, and until the very last it
was not certain as to who the victor
would be. But hard work on the part of
Wofford gave them a lead of one run
? % 1 -.1 1 * 4 k/. ^
WlIlCll Stifc lieia inrougiiuui mc game,
winning by a score of 2 to 1.
On last Friday Newberry was beaten
by a score of 5 to 3. This game, while
not as fast as some of the previous games,
was not by an)' means a poor exhibition
of baseball. Durant played star ball,
striking out thirteen men and yielding
only four hits; his record is certainly a
fine one. He has pitched six games this
season, has allowed twenty-live hits,
struck out about thirty-9ix men. Along
with this pitching Wofford's team has
made thirty-seven runs and ha9 been
scored against eleven times. We think
no team in this State can show a better
record.
Next week comes the exciting times.
Dn Wednesday, the 29th, Wofford meets
tier old time rival, South Carolina; on
:he 30th, Charleston College; on the 1st
3f May the battle royal with Clemson
College. These games are during the
Music Festival, and the crowds which
fvill witness them will be large and en;husiastic
ones.

The Citadel, Charleston, April 26.?
The baseball season is still in progress
md the excellent series of games does not
ail to attract large crowds. The league
las been a great success, and has done
nuch towards the advancement of the
nterest of the different teams. Up until
iow the W. L. I. has the record, having
von three games out of three; then comes
he cadets with a record of two out of
hree. These two teams meet for the
irst time next Saturday and uo doubt the
;ame will be a beautiful one.
The cadets added one more victory to
heir list last Saturday afternoon, when
he C. L. Dragoons were defeated in an
xciting game by a score of 11 to 9. The
Ira^oons have an excellent team and
be Dragoons scored three men and had
winning margin of one. The ninth was
shered in brightly for the Cadets, the
rst three men up having gotten base hits.
Tow it was that the Cadets jumped on the
)ragoons, took them for a ripe, juicy
lelon and trimmed them for a trio of
uns. The Dragoons failed to connect in
beir half and three more of the *'cits"
lade circles as Mcllwinen's puzzlers
plit the air.
The invitations for the annual Cadet
icnic are out aud the affair promises to
e quite nice. The Isle of Palms has
een chartered by the cadets and only
beir friends will be allowed to go over
n the day of the picnic, which is to be
lay seventh. Two special trains and
oats will take the jolly boys in gray and
beir friends over at eleven and one.
'rom five in the afternoon until eleven
t night will be dancing at the pavilion,
lusic being furnished by the Artillery
!orps Band.
The P. M. A. hop last Friday evening
?as quite enjoyable. The Porter boys,
hough few in number, are excellent enertainers
and are to be congratulated
pon their brilliant ^affairs."
Dress parade Friday afternoon was
ritnessed by quite a large crowd, who
pplauded the Cadets loudly as they
aultlessty went through the intricate
movements of the manual.

It is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which contribute
to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that ?
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact 1
that there are thousands in our midst who, owing
to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debilitated.
We bring to the attention of all wear)*,
despondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Minn., tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:?
441 had a bad attack of la grippe this spring
and was at death's door, and no one ever
expected me to recover. I was so weak that
as soon as they brought me out of one faint
I was in another. I could not take any
nourishment, and doctors' medicines did me
no good. A friend advised my husband to
get me a bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
second day after taking the Compound, I
began to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. I had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with that and
Paine's Celery Compound, I am now doing
my own work, while three months ago I was
almost in the grave. I know that I owe my
health and strength to Raine's Celery Compound,
and shall always recommend it."
