THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., NOVEMBER 84, 1898. Miraculous Benefit RECEIVED FROM l$r. Miles' New Heart Cure. *55 iv ff E LI P. BABCOCK, of Avoca, N. Y., a veteran of the 3rd N. Y. Artillery and for thirty years of the Babcock & Munsel Carriage Co., of Auburn, says: “I write to express my gratitude for the mlrac- lous benefit received from Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. I suffered for years, as result of army life, from sciatica which affected my heart In the worst form, my limbs swelled from the ankles up. I bloated until I was unable to button my clothing; had sharp pains about the heart, smothering spells and shortness of breath. For three months I was unable to lie down, and all the sleep I got was In an arm chair. I was treated by the best doctors but gradually grew worse. About a year ago I commenced taking Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure and It saved my life as if by a miracle.'

C. A PRETTY CHURCH WEDDING MR. LEMONS AND MISS THOM SON UNITED. The Presbyterian Church the Scene of Another Fashionable Mar riage—It Was a Most Brilliant Affair. The Presbyterian Church in this city was the scene of another bril liant wedding last night, the con tracting parties being Miss Janie Thomson, of this city, and Mr. Bax ter Lemmond, of Spartanburg. Mr. James E. Williamson, of Spartan burg, acted as the groom’s best man, while Mr. J. C. Robinson, of Chester, was the groomsman. Miss Alberta Thomson, of Spartanburg, was first bride’s maid. The ushers were Messrs. J. E. McArthur, Tom Clark son, E. L. Eison and Wardlaw Moor man. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. W. C. Thomson. Masters Harry Wheat and Norman Jones made capital little gate keep ers. It was a few minutes after nine o’clock when the bridal party ar rived. The bridal procession was formed in the outer vestibule, the doors were thrown open and the or gan peeled forth the strains of Men delssohn’s familiar wedding march beautifully rendered by Mr. T. H. Westrope as the procession entered the body of the church led by the ushers. Then came the groomsman and bridesmaid down the side isles while the maid of honor came down the centre aisle, passing through a little gate of white chrysanthemums gracefully held open by the little gate keepers who were attired in dike suits. Then came the bride, who was escorted to the chancel rail by her brother. When the procession reached the chancel rail it was divi ded and the members filed to the right and to the left while the bride proceeded to the rail, where she was met by the groom, accompanied by his best man. In front of the spot where the bride and groom stood was spread a fine fur rug while over them was an arch of white and green from which was suspended a gilded harp on which was Tennyson’s beautiful quotation: “Love took up the harp of life.” The ceremony was most impres sively pronounced by tho Rev. C. E. Robertson, and as the last sounds of tho Amen died away the maid of honor lifted the bride’s veil, after which the bridal parly left tho church as the organ pealed forth Scott’s bridal march. The wedding party were driven to tho home of the bride’s parents on Race street, where a reception was held. The house was tastefully dec orated with palms, ferns and chrys anthemums. The parlor was decora ted in pink and green and it was there that the bride and groom re ceived the congratulations of their numerous friends in front of a bower of palms and chrysanthemums. Mrs. Thomson was assisted in en tertaining her guests by Mrs. H. L. Barks, of Concord. N. C., Mrs. Ru dolph Brandt, of Chester, Miss Ward- law and Miss Feden, of (JulTney. Af ter the happy couple had received the congratulations of their numer ous friends they repaired to tho spa cious dining room where refresh ments were served. The bride was very becomingly at tired in a lovely gown of white organ die with trimmings of pearl, white satin and real lace. Thrown over her and reaching to the hem of her train was.the bridal veil of tulle, held in place by a diamond brooch, tho gift of tho groom. In her ha-d she car ried a boquet of white carnations and maiden hair ferns. Tho maid of honor and bridesmaid wero gowned in very becoming cos tumes of white organdie with white satin trimmings, both carrying bo- quets of white carnations. The ush ers and groomsmen wero attired in full evening dress with tan kid gloves. The presents were numerous and very handsome. Tho bride is an accomplished and pretty young lady, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Thomson, and possesses many noble traits of womanly character which have en deared her to the hearts of a largo circle of friends who will regret to give her up. The groomsman is a prominent young merchant of Spartanburg and was at one time a resident of this city. Ho is a young gentleman of sterling worth and each it> to ho con gratulated upon the prize they have won. Mr. and Mrs. Lemond* left on the midnight train lor Spartanburg, where they will reside In tho future. May their pathway he strewn with earth’s most fragrant (lowers and no unhappiness mar their bright young lives.
