VENGEANCE IN CO. BOARD BILL.
What was perhaps the most beau
tiful wedding ever solemnized in t
Walterboro was that of Miss Alma

filled wi^i persons eager t > sha e in
the view of bewitching beauty
presented under the skilful and ar
tistic arrangement of Mr M C Kivesr
who had the decorations in charge.
At the chancel four large columns!
were erected forming a square,
canopied with white and festooned
with garlands of ivy and white ja-
ponica blossoms, bordered with
palms. Suspended from this ceiling
in front was a huge floral bell under
which the ceremony was performed.
At the rear of this house was an
arch of moss and flowers, lighted at
regular intervals by wax candles. I
The chandaliers were decorated with i
moss, ivy and japonica blossoms
while from the four corners of the j
church extended garlands of the
same, crossing in the center.
Promptly at the appointed hour
the strainsof Mendellsohn’s wedding
march, siklfully rendered by Mrs N.

Mr* J. O. Griffin, in the presence of
a goodly number of relatives and
intimate friends of the bride and
groom. The ceremony was per-
torn.ed by Rev. G. A. Martin of
Lodge.
This was a .very pretty though
unostentatious home wedding. It
was the wish of the bride that her
marr.age should be a quiet affair.
It was, however, none the less beau
tiful because o. its quietness.
Miss Griffin has been for several
terms one of the most successful
teachers in the county. She has
been engaged this year in teaching
'the Stokes school, one of the most
important school- in the county.
With her genial disposition and
ready sympathy she won the love of
her scholars. Miss Griffin was also a
general lavorite among a large cir
cle of friends.
Mr. Weeks is one of Round’s pros
perous farmers, and is a young man
of sterling worth. He has the es
teem of a.l with whom he comes in
contact in a business or social way.
The future home of Mr. and Mrs.
Weeks will be at Round, where they
will be glad to see their many friends.

MR WALKER INSANE
A mild case of insanity has attract
ed considerable attention quite
recently in this county. It is the
case of young B Frank Walker, of
Lodge.
It seems that "young Mr Walker
has been off mentally for some
months and his friends have noticed
that he was behaving somewhat
queerly, so he was taken to St. Mat
thews by his brother, J Monroe,
where he was placed under the care
of two physicians of that town. It
was not long however, before he de
cided to return to his old home near
Lodge, wR5re he has been living
alone for the past few months. Fin
ally his friends decided that it would
be better that he should be sent to
Columbia for treatment. Accordingly
Saturday C J Carter of Lodge,
brought him to Walterboro and
