Then came the bride and groom and as the last strains of the music died awayAhey stepped be neath a beautiful arch of chrysanthe- tnums and in a solemn and impress ive manner they were made man and wife. Immediately after the cere mony the bride and groom, followed by their attendants, retired to the south parlor, where they received the congratulations of their friends.

Immense bowls of these roses were seen on piano, mantel and table. * In the dinning room pink and white still wore the colors, but morn ing glories were used in this room. Over the mantel and pictures were festoons of this graceful flower. From each corner of the table a fes toon of morning glories and ivy were caught over the chandelier.

I’rof. J. R. Mack, the new principal of Cooper Limestone Institute, is very much impressed with our hus tling little city. To a Lkdgeh repre sentative he expressed himself as follows: “First impressions are by no means always correct. Be this as it may, I am glad to say my impressions of your little city so far have been very favorable. There seems to be a push and progress about the to vn that would easily impress the visitor. I see the livery man pushing his busi ness; the hardware merchant active, appreciative, energetic; the banker busy behind his counting desk, yet kind and considerate of the wishes of others; the grocer so busy that lie can scarcely serve hiscustomers; the factory operatives with a decided “move on them”; and everything evincing considerable activity. “So far as I have been able to see, the churches are well attended, the pastors live, energetic servants, the people in fair health, happy and con tented. There is certainly that about Gaffney which ought to im press .favorably everyone that appre ciates pluck, push and progress. “But the interests of Cooper Lime stone of course engage my attention. Mechanics have just put on the building all necessary repairs, pianos will soon he tuned and thoroughly overhauled, and everything that can conduce to the happiness and pro gress of the students when they come will be done. We are all looking for ward io our opening on Feb. 5 with high anticipations of pleasure. Many of the good people of Gaffney have signified their intention tj send their children to Limestone, and we have failed to find anyone who Is not a friend to the Institute.” To Take the Census. John Holland, popular, bright and efficient, will commence on the 20th of this month to take the census of the city. This is a difficult task, but Jolin will he equal to the emergency. Everybody should be willing and anxious to give him ail the informa tion necessary, that the work may be thoroughly done.
