MARRIAGE IN BLACKSBURG.
On«< of Our Sister City's Popular Olrls W’t'«l*
u Itiiltiiuorc Mini.
Mr. Albert H -inbart, of Ilultimore,
and Miss Iva Whisonant, of Hlaoks-
burp, were married at tbe homo of
the biide’s parents on Wednesday
oveuinp the nth, inst. Tbe Hlacks-
burp correspondent of the Yorkville
Enquirer thus describes the happy
event:
“A very^pretty homo wedding was
celebrated at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. R. J. Whisonant on Wed
nesday evening, 5th instant, at (5:50
o’clock, when their daughter, Miss
Iva Isabel, was united in holy matri
mony to Mr. Albert Raymond Rein
hart, of Raltimore. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. J. H. Dixon,
of Sharon, in the presence of a few*
specially invited friends. The special
attendants, who Immediately pre
ceded tbe bride and groom into tbe
hall, were Miss Marie Carroll, of Sha
ron, and Mr. Waller Bentley, of
Blacksburg. The wedding march
was rendered sweetly and softly by
Mrs. Dixon, wife of the officiating
minister. The bride was robed in a
becoming traveling dress of brown
broadcloth, and was the recipient of
numerous handsome and useful pre
sents.
The bride is an attractive and popu
lar young lady and has many friends
both in Blacksbnrg and Sharon,
where she formerly lived, who wish
her much happiness, '"he groom is
a popular traveling salesman for a
Baltimore house, and served during
the Spanish war in the U. S. navy as
acting paymaster on one of the ves
sels. They will leave on Monday
next for Baltimore, where a reception
will be given them at the residence
of the groom’s father. They will
make Baltimore their future home. ’
DR. LODGE AT GREENWOOD.
His AddroM* at tlic Convention Received
AVltli JCiittiusiaKtlc Applause.
Dr. Leo Davis Lodge, of Limestone
College, returned from the State
Baptist Convention Tuesday highly
elated over the success he scored for
his college and for the Winnie Davis
School of History and the royal re
ception he received from the people
of Greenwood. The Baptist Courier
says of his address :
‘ Dr. I jee Davis Lodge spoke next.
Ho made bis maiden address before
this Convention last year. It was
fine, great. So was this. But you
should have come and heard it, read
er. A strong speech cannot bo re
ported The written page is one
thing; the public address is another
thing. He started by quoting a
poem about Lee and floated away
into eloquences in laurels for the Con
federacy.
‘•I believe in the New South, but
also the Old South. The New South
which I like reverences the Old.”
This sentiment provoked hearty ap
plause, as did other utterances.”
******
‘ Dr. Lee Davis Lodge had at the
Convention a large number of large
and handsome steel plate engravings
of MioS Winnie Davis, tbe Daughter
of the Confederacy, and distributed
them among the delegates in connec
tion with his educational address.
A happy hit was that. Dr. Lodge
knows how to make happy hits. A
most happy hit is he hi.nself to
Limestone and Baptist education in
South Carolina. To carry the idea
further, what was a happier hit than
his speech at Greenwood.”
Mr. Whch'liel TuUck Cliurgti.
On last Saturday Mr. Joe Whel-
chel, the newly elected supervisor of
Cherokee, took charge of the office,
he having received his commission
several days ago. Mr. Whelchel is
what can well be termed a self-made
man. He is quiet and un'ts-urning
but has displayed good business judg
ment in the management of his
private affairs, and no will doubtless
conduct the affairs of his office in the
same manner. The Ledger wishes
him euccess beeamie we believe him
to be worthy of it.
Mr. N Lipscomb, who has so faith
fully served the county since its
orcunizaHon, has b^en in bad heMth
•o
for some time. We are glad to note
that lie has been Improving lately
and is now able to be out some. In
regard to him we wish to say that he
should be remembered for the good
be has done As u public < flicer he
has boon cureful and prudent and
Cherokee will never have an officer
that will look after the affairs of the
county better than he did. May he
regain his health entirely and have
ma"y more years of usefulness Is our
wish.
Ill* Arm Mini L.«k Uroken.
Johnnie Byars, about eight years
old and son of Mr John Bjars, a car
penter in the city, met with a very
painful accident Wednesday while
playing near his home in the lower
part of the city.
The little follow was running
around with other children, in the
exhuberance of his spirits, and acci
dentally fell from a high bank on tbe
side of tbe road, breaking his right
leg and left arm. Dr. Settlemeyer
was called in and set the broken
members and the unfortunate little
boy is now doing as well as could be
expected from the nature of his
wounds

A RETURN ENGAGEMENT.
Tin' llrnild Kt|oare Opera Company Will
I’lay Two Nlulit* nt Tho Open* llotiNe.
Those who delight in music and
opera will bo glad to know that the
Herald Square Opera Company is to
again visit Gaffney, and that in the
near future. The management of
the local opera house having no
amusements (or several weeks and
learning that the Herald Square
Opera Co., had no engagement for
two nights, next Friday and Satur
day, determined to secure a return
engagement. This has been accomp
lished and they will play “Chimes of
Normandy” Friday night and “Billy
Taylor” Saturday night. Of the lat
ter opera the Rock Hill Herald has
the following to say :
“An exceptionally large audience
enjoyed the Herald Square Opera
performance of “Billie Taylor” at
the college Friday night.
“The company made a clever hit
with the students and was fully ap
preciative of the high compliment
paid them for theirs is the first and
only real “theatre show” Prof. John
son lias ever brought to tho audito
rium The opera was bright and
sparkling with many exquisite musi
cal gems and the situation clever
and exceedingly laughable. Sweet
singers, brilliant and picturesque
costumes fine concerted numbers and
^ood wholesome-comedy helped make
a most delightful evening. There were
no happier girls in all Dixie than the
tour hundred who filled tho hails and
stairways after the show and cheered
the actors and singers in passing to
the carriages.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and health}’. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples.

Have you a cough? Do you catch cold readily? Do you
get a tickling sensation in the throat which only coughing will
relieve, and that for a short time only? Do you cough so hard
that your stomach hurts from the el fort? Are you “stopped up”,
in the head and throatf Does your voice get husky?
iV Had Uold,
As it is usually called, is a congestion of bl<
blood vessels of the bronchial tubes and lungs,
internal fever and an imflammation of the parts
I idly spreading to other parts of the body. Thu-
j fever or heat.
'The Cause.
Exposure to a draught of cool air when the body is over
heated causes a sudden lowering of the temperature of the surface
of the body. The blood from the surface is driven in and the .
smaller blood vessels become suilused with more blood than na
ture intended them to dispose of.
Congestion. j
r I he vessels swell up and become congested, the air passages
become inflamed and the mere passing of the air in breathing
irritates them. This causes that tickling sensation and a cough
is the result. r l he mucus secretions become thick and hard and
increases the local fever which ensues.
Proper Course to Pursue. *
There is only one way to cure a cold whether it he an ordi
nary cold or one resulting from “Grippe”—and that is to pro
mote a tree How of the secretions and relieve the congestion.
The Remedy==Dr. WOFFORD’S EXPECTORANT.
It promotes a free flow of the secretions, scatters the con
gested blood back to its circulation and restores the suppressed
and congested air passages to their normal condition. Price, 25
and 50c. per bottle.
