t Do You Ever Take Medicine? Nearly every one takes medicine occasionally. Some people are taking medicine all the time. We are putting up medicine all the time. It’s our especial work. -To some peo ple medicine making is a business; tons it is an accomplish ment—and a fine art. We have made medicine making a study. We have learned many things that Colleges of Pharmacy do not teach. Our courses in the college gave us an insight into phar macy, but our experience in the drug store has given us knowl edge of medicine; not only how to mix, compound, distill, filter and grind, but how and where to buy drugs; how to test for purity and strength ; how to follow the doctor’s directions in pre scriptions; how to prepare medicine that its most pronounced or most delicate action may he had according to the physician’s expectations. The aim of the Cherokee Drug Co. has always been to become a “l^erfeet” l>ru!2; S^tore. The greatest Drug Store Promoter in the world is in our em ploy.

B. P. Robertson; The marriage ceremony is one of the most interesting and solemn spectacles that social life presents, and at the same time, it is the hap piest and most joyful event that man and woman ever experience. To see two creatures in the glow of youth and hope which invests life in a halo of happiness appear together and ac knowledge their preference for each other, voluntarily enter into a cove nant of perpetual friendship and love, and call upon all to witness the sanctity of their vows, awakens deep feeling in the hearts of all beholders and a holy influence is felt to pervade the place wherein those vows are spoken. It is a strange Intermingling of gladness and sadness; and well may it be so, as it is the source from whence originates the most beautiful glories of life, as well as its deepest cares and its most blighting sorrows. The joys of the wedding morn are quickly followed by the worries and troubles of daily life;—but it is of the joyful side that we speak now, hoping that the anxious cares may be a long time coming. Wednesday morning one of the most interesting social events that have transpired in our city within the memory of its inhabitants occurred at the First Baptist church when Mr. Thomas LaFayette Brown and Miss Mayme Annette Humphries present ed themselves before Hymen’s altar as candidates for matrimony and consummated by marriage the vows of a former courtship. The touching ceremony was per formed by Rev. B P. Robertson, the former pastor of the couple, who im pressed upon them the sacredness of the marriage vows and the truth that the affection which should link tc- getherjhusband and wife is a far holier and more enduring passion than the enthusiasm of young love. After the solemn words had been spoken which united for all time to come the happy spirits of Thomas LaFayette Brown and Mayme Annette Humphries, the minister offered so earnest supplica tion to the Giver of all happiness for the blessings of heaven to be showered upon them as they journey through life. The nuptial rites were conferred about 10 o’clock a. m. Shortly be fore the time appointed, Prof. Wade R. Brown, of Limestone College, took his seat at the organ and soon swert music, soft and low, like an echo from the invisible world floated out fiom the gallery and chaimed 'he sei ses of the assembled friends at.d well-wishers of the contracting couple. It was a "Caprice by Lem- mens, and as the solemn strains vi- orattd through the sacred edifice the bridal party began to take their al lowed places. First came Mess. Wofford and Wal ter Humphries, twin brothers of the bride, down oppo ite aMes and stop ped facing tach other in front of the altar. Mr. Ed Byars and Mr. Hany Gooding, the latter brother-in-law to the bride, came next in the same (rder and took their respective places be side the two brothers. Then came Mr. Will Johnson and Miss Annie Brown, sister of the groom, and they were followed by Miss Minnie Ci.r roil, maid of honor. Mr. Robertson came in from the pastor’s study and the groom accompanied by Mr. Jamie Brown, from the Sunday school room in rear of the church, both placing themselves in front of the attendants where they awaited the coming of the bride. Mr. B. K. Humphries, father of the bride, escorted her dowuthe left aisle and placed her into the keeping of the happy groom, who then turned to the minister to listen to the words which were to irrevocably change the current of two young lives and blend them into one. As the bridal party stood during the ceremony they formed a pretty scene with a background of luxurious hot-house flowers, palms and ferns, while radiant and eager faces told of many hearts in loving sympathy with the wedded lovers. Throughout the en tire ceremony the organ, under the deft touch of Mr Brown continued to send forth in mellow notes its en chanting melody, until at the close it burst forth into the gladsome strains of Mendelssohn’s famous wedding march and, stepping to its measures, the bridal party marched out of the church and went at once to the Southern depot. There amid the congratulations, good wishes and good-bys of numerous friends, the happy groom and his young bride boarded the vestibule train for Greenville, From that city they went to Washington, passing back through this city on the evening vestibule, and will spend a week or ten days in the north before coming back to Gaffney. The handsome groom and his at tendants wore the conventional black coat and light colored trouaers, with gloves to match and buttonhole flowere. The bride was exceedingly lovely in a traveling dress of tan colored cloth, with satin and velvet trim mings, hat of panne velvet to match, and carried in her arms a handsome bouquet of Bride’s roses. Miss Carroll, the maid of honor, wore an eli'j'if’t gied >f ellvvr epsn- uppiique over pink Weil Willi satin, a black picture hut and white carnations. Miss Brown, the bridesmaid, was clothed in a superb gown of white emhtoidered peau de sole with luce and ribbon trimmings, over white tutTeta, a black picture hat and pink carnations, Ttie bride is the second daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. B, K Humphries, of this city. Hho ranks among the most popular young society ladies in the city, is a leader in all social functions and is loved and admired wherever she is known. She is lovely in person, gentle and amiable in disposition, modest in nature and is happily endowed with all the many virtues which impart such a charm to a lovely woman, and which offer such a nestling place for the affec tions of a man’s heart. The fortu nate man with whom she has linked her destiny is to be commended for his excellent choice and congratu lated upon his happy fortune. Mr Brown, the groom, is a son of the late Maj. and Mrs. J. J. Brown, who were among the early settlers of Gaffney. He is a member of the city council of Gaffney, and is, probably, the youngest alderman in America. Despite his youth, he has been engaged in business at this place for several years and the suc cess which has attended his career proves beyond a doubt his excep tional business ability. In addition to that very essential qualification, he is delightfully affable and has the courtly bearing, true gentle manly deportment and exquisite manners, which make him very pop ular with all classes. His high merit and exalted worth have won for his home the cheer-giving sunlight of a woman’s love and a good wife’s faith, and under her blessed ministry he may sip the sweets of an earthly paradise. These joyful young lovers are now standing where the glowing light of love is gilding the pathway before them, and life itself wears for them a rosy tinting of happiness and de light. The best wishes of hundreds of friends cluster around them and The Ledger hopes that theirs may be a long, happy and prosperous life, full of peace and joy and love. Mr. and Mrs. Brown will continue reside in Gaffney.
