The grippe cough is the exterior sign of na ture’s efforts to dislodge the mucus exuding from the inflamed lining of the bronchial tubes. The remedies that are claim ed to “cure in one night” contain narcotic drugs that partially paralyze nerves that control the cough spasm. As a re sult, the mucus accumu lates and nature is hin dered, not helped. Our expectorant (25 cents) does not cure in one night, but effects a gradual though permanent im provement by helping expectoration in the inflamed surfaces and stimulating the bronchial tubes to healthv action.

Two Beings Acknowledge Preference for Each Other AND THEY ARE MARRIED. Mr. .lames A. Willis, a Fromlnent Young Attorney, Leads to the Altar Miss Mary Servlss Brown, a Handsome and Popular Young Lady of This City. The largest and most fashionable assemblage that has ever gathered together in this city assembled in the First Baptist church Wednesday evening to witness the nuptial cere mony that joined in happy marriage the hands and the lives of Mr. James A. Willis and Miss Mary Serviss Brown, both of this city. Long before the hour appointed for the interesting event the crowd, consisting mostly of the elite of the city and the friends and admirers of the bridal couple, all with eager, ex pectant faces, began to assemble in the handsome church, and soon even standing room was difficult to find. The Sunday school room and the au ditorium had both been opened up, thus throwing the inside of the church all into one room, to accom modate the large crowd that every one knew would be in attendance. The church was handsomely, though not gorgeously, decorated with palms and evergreens and the soft light of the incandescent lamps cast a mel lowed glare ovfcr the scene that was enchanting to b» bold. At eight-thirty o’clock, Prof. Wade II Brown, of Limestone College, took ids seat at the organ and in response to his skilled touch the instrument became a thing of life and breathed forth the beautiful strains of Lohen grin’s famous wedding march which vibrated throughout the building and Heated away in sweet and merry cadence out upon the “soft and stilly night.” When the music “arose with its voluptuous swell” the ushers, six in number, all in full dress, came in and marched up the aisle on the right. Then came the attoudants, Miss Edna Sarratt with Mr. P. F. Henderson, of Aiken, Miss Daisy Willis, eister of the groom, with Mr. Tom Brown, and Miss Annie Brown, maid of honor and sister of the bride. They formed around the altar where already Eev. B. P. Robertson stood waiting to perform the cere mony. The bride came last accom panied by her brother-in-law, Mr. W. C. -Carpenter, and they were met at the altar by the groom, who, with his brother, came Jfrom the pas tor’s study in rear of the church. Mr. Carpenter then gave the bride into the keeping of the groom and Mr. Robertson in a short but very pretty and impressive ceremony pro nounced them husband and wife. Prof. Brown then played the Mendelssohn march and the bridal party njarched up the left aisle in reverse order, Mr. Clarence Willis and Miss Annie Brown forming a couple. They repaired to the resi dence of Mr. W. C. Carpenter where an informal reception was tendered them and a few of the relatives and close friends of the couple. A gen eral reception was to have been given, but that was abandoned for reasons which have already been given in this paper. The bride is a daughter of Maj. and Mrs. J. J. Brown, both deceased, who were among the earliest settlers of Gaifney. She is a young lady who has long been one of Gaffney’s social stars and is very popular wherever she is known. She is a handsome brunette, whose beauty is such as to create comment in distant states where beauty is common, lovely in disposition, Christian in character and cultured and refined to the high est degree. Her bridal costume was of chien de cljcr’e and white pleated liberty trim med in white applique. She wore a veil of white tulle, caught with a dia mond brooch, and carried in her hand a large bouquet of bride’s roses and ferns. Arrayed thus she formed a picture of loveliness that beggars description. The groom is u young attorney who came here about two years ago from Wiiliston, in Barnwell county. He is talented, refined, prominent in his profession and by his gentlemanly and courteous bearing has succeeded in making himself very popular with the people of Gaffney. He was hand some in the conventional black, full dress. Miss Annie Brown, the maid of honor, was dressed in white pl-u de swe, trimmed in pleatings and lace, and carried a handsome bouquet of pink carnations and ferns tied with a pink satin ribbon. Miss Edna Sar ratt, first bridesmaid, wore the same as Miss Brown. Miss Daisy Willis, second bridesmaid and sistei of the groom, was dressed in white organdie over white taffeta silk, trimmed in ribbon and flowers around Tier cor sage. Mr. Clarence Willis, of Savannah, Ga , brother of the groom, was best man; Mr. C F. Henderson, o: Aiken, and Mr. Tom Brown, of this city, brother of the bride, were first and second groomsmen, and all were in foil dress. The ushers were Messrs. Ed. By ars, Maynard Smith, E. P. Brown, of Pacolut, Jamie Brown, of Blacksburg, Dr. Chas. Lipscomb and Mr. B. D. Wilson. Those who attended the reception were: Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Cudd, of Spartanburg, Prof, and Mrs. Wade R. Brown, of Limestone College, Mr. and Mrs. J. Landrum Brown, of Charlotte, N. C., Mr. and Mrs. J. I HarrutqMr. and Mrs. B. P. Robertson, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Lipscomb, Mr. and Mrs. Will Brown, Mrs. O. 8. Kendrick, Mrs. Virgle Copeland, Misses Parker, of Spartanburg, Car rie Pcden, Minnie Carroll, Mayme Humphries and Bessie Kendrick, of this city, and Messrs. R. H. Fergu son. of Spartanburg, Rev. G. Cioft William, of Aiken, and F. G. Stacy, of this city. The dining-room was beautifully decorated with pot plants and ferns and the table was loaded with all kinds of delicacies, sweet-meats, and everything good to eat. After can- gratulations bad been tendered in the parlor the bridal party and invited guests repaired to the dining room and, it is needless to say, did full justice to the feast that was pre pared for them. In catting the bride’s cake for the ring, Miss Mayme Humphries proved to bo the most expert cutter and consequently got the ring. Mr. and Mrs. Willis left on the midnight trail for Wiiliston, Mr. Willis’home, where they will spend a week or more. They wilLthen re turn to Gaffney to live and will oc cupy rooms at the Commercial Hotel. The friends of this happy couple are legion, and they all will wish for them the sweetest blessings that this life can give. AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Each Succeeding Performance of the Ecllpae Stock Co., An Improvement. It is sometimes difficult for one to criticise a show in the right spirit. In Tuesday's issue we took occasion to criticise the performance of the Eclipse Stock Company in rather severe terms. We were so disgusted with the show that we could only look at the unfavorable side and did not have the grace to give credit to anyone. But the performance Mon day night was horrid and the show had been represented to us as being such a fine one that we were natu rally disgusted and consequently said some severe things about the per formance. We do not know whether it is a better acquaintance with the company or what, but it is neverthe less true that the performances Tuesday and Wednesday night were a little above that of Monday night It may have been due to the fact that a larger audience was present or that the performers were becoming better acquainted with the opera house and stage. Mr. Center and Mr. Hamilton give as an explanation the poor performance Monday night that they had been working under a tent and that therefore the perform ances are not as smooth as they would be after a few nights on a stage in an opera house. We have no desire to do anyone an injustice and in justice to the company we must say that they have improved at each per formance; but still the company is not what it was represented to be. Miss Clare Sullivan’s work is the best of tho troop, with Mr. Hamilton a close second. The “Old Homestead” was played last night to the smallest audience of the week so far. It was so badly butchered that we doubt if Mr. Den man Thompson would have recognized his own words. Tonight Daniel Frohman’s cele brated comedy “Jane’’ will be pre sented. Tomorrow afternoon a mati- nee will be given at which the popular price of 10 and 20 cents to any part of the house will prevail, and tomor row night the engagement will close with “East Lynne” as the drawing card. v Stops the Cough anil Works Off the Cold.

Robertson preached his farewell sermon at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath morning. He was greeted by one the largest con gregations that have ever gathered in tho church and be in turn preached one of tho best and most pleasant sermons that he has delivered in the seven years he has been in Gaffney. Although this was literally Mr. Robertson’s farewell sermon in re ality it whs not, for he preached to another good sized audience in tho evening. Mr. Robertson’s forenoon sermon was filled witli kindness and expressions of love for the people of his congregation and the people of Gaffney in general. His departure will be a source of regret to his many personal friends in the city all of whom will wish for him many years of usefulness and happiness in his chosen work.
