A PRETTY CHURCH WEDDING Or. W. I.. Svttleuieyur anti >lis» Klt*- gunild Murrit-tl Weiltifittluy Kwning. The Second baptist church Wed nesday evening was the scene of one of the prettiest church weedings that has taken place in Gaffney recently, the occasion being the marriage of Pr. W. B. Settlemeyer to Miss Minnie Fitzgerald. The church was prettily decorated and the crowd that throng ed it was the most dense that lias yet been within the walls of the build ing. It was 8:30 when Prof. T. H. Westrope deftly touched the keys and the strain of the wedding march softly floated out upon the atmos phere as Mr. 8. L. Settlemeyer and Miss Ella Morgan entered t he church. They were followed by Mr. Frank Smith and Miss Bessie Fitzgerald, a sisltr of the bride. These were fol lowed by the bride and groom elect, The contracting parties marched up the aisle and took their position di rectly in front of the altar where Uev. J M. Bridges uttered the words that made them man and wife. The Rev. S. T. Creech invoked divine blessing on the ceremony and the bridal party h-ft the church, going to the home of Mr. M. V. Fitzgerald, the bride’s father. Yesterday morn ing the newly wedded pair left on the early morning train for North Caro lina, where they go to visit Dr. Set- tlemeyer’s relatives and spend their honey moon. The bride is a daughter of Mr. M. V. Fitzgerald, and is a pretty young lady of amiable disposition and many Christian virtues. The groom is a well known physi cian in this city and a young man of promise who numbers his friends by the score. Both have the best wishes of a multitude of friends for a safe and happy voyage o’er matrimony’s sea and no one will wish them any thing but good fortune through life. A Nt‘Kr<> llmlly IliinieU. Yesterday morning about sun-up a negro man in almost a nude condition rapped at the home of another colored man in the western suburbs of the city. It was at once seen that his clothing had been burned olf his body and that he was badly burned and was suffering intensely, lie was taken in the house by the colored man and provided with clothes and and other comforts, lie said that his home was in Spartanburg and that lie was forced to camp in the woods Wednesday night, and that while asleep by the fire his clothes caught on fire and inflicted the serious burns which were on his person. Mayor Littlejohn was notified of the occurrance, and fie had the un fortunate man properly enroa for and gave him a ticket to Spartanburg. A trusty colored man was sent with him to care for him. In addition to the severe burns on the negroes body, on the small of hit back was a bunch of scars which looked like they were made by shot. While at the depot before leaving for Spartanburg the man’s sufTerings was great. He was recognized at the denot by two colored men from Spartanburg as being “little Bob Sartor” who they sai l, spends his time on the chuingang and dodging the officers. A (Irctit lluily. Last Sunday’s issue of the Char lotte Observer was a model newspaper in every respect. Besides the excel lent news service, the well selected mi-eeihii.v and the superb editorials, ..us filled in llie liriiii with an ar ray of the l)"Kt advertisements that have appeared in a southern daily in this section of the country in a long tim?. It contained more advertise ments than any other North Carolina daily paper of that date, and more than three other North Carolina dailies combined. They wore tersely written and artistically display! d. and well represented the progressive merchants of progressive Chariotle. Our Southern inerehants have been slow to awake to the progres-ive idea of tolling people through the press what they have to sell, hut the man ner in which the merchants of the t^ueen City took hold of the matter in lust Sunday’s sixteen page Ob server is nn indication that they are now fast learning ono of the most essential lessons to the conducting of a successful business. The Ob server can truly bo classed us a great daily. IC«*v. It. 1’. KoIx-rtHoii to lit’ mi Kdltor. Her. B. 1\ Robertson has been tendered the position of editor of the B. Y. P. II. department of the Bap tist Courier by the publishers and will accept the same. Messrs. Keys end Thomas might have sifted the State and they could not have found a man that would have givenjthom Let ter service than Mr. Robertson. Ho is thoroughly familiar with tiis work, an earnest Christian gentleman and, withal, a man in every sense qualified to do the work. The Ledger ex tends congratulations to The Courier first and tjicn to Mr. Robertson and hopes that ho will find newspaper work congenial and profitable. A (,'lifrokffiin mu A|>|iUi'Miit. The sudden and unexpected death of Supervisor of the Census George W. Shell lias created a vacancy in the census taking department that must he filled at onco. The Ledgi r under stands that its worthy friend, Col. .las. L. Strain, of Etta Jane, Is a candidate for the position, and it would indeed rejoice to learn of Col. Strain’s appointment.
