SURPRISED THEIR FRIENDS.
Mr. “Hilly” Wllaon and MU, Ada Wood
Steal Away and Get Married.
Tuesday night at half past eight
o’clock at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. M. C. Parker, 224 Depot street,
Mr. W. C. Wilson and Miss Ada
Wood, both of this city, were united
in happy marriage by Itev. W. S. B.
Ford, pastor of the Cherokee Avenue
Baptist church.
The wedding was a very quiet af
fair, only two witnesses being present
outside of the inmates of the Parker
home; and while it could hardly be
termed a "runaway match,” as there
was no opposition offered on either
side, still the intentions of the
couple were kept secret from thior
relatives. The minds of all young
lovers, (and probably of old ones)
are filled with romantic fancies and
as there is a tinge of romance about
a “secret” marriage and a peculiar
enjoyment of the “surprise” there
after, the motive of Mr. Wilson and
Miss Wood in their course is evident.
The groom is the handsome and
efficient young operator at the Cotton
Exchange, lie is a quiet, gentle
manly, congenial young fellow, so
agreeable and sociable in his nature
and so pleasing in bis address, that
he quickly makes friends, of those he
meets, while his associates are bound
to him with ties of the warmest
friendeship. “Billy” is one of the
best telegraph operators in the
couniry, and for a long time was
connected with the Southern Railway
in that capacity. He is strictly at
tentive to his duties, faithful to
every trust Imposed upou him, and
withal is a valuable man iu his posi
tion. We feel quite sure that the young
lady who bus thus linked her fate
with his will never have cause to
regret her choice.
The bride is ^tbe daughter of Mrs.
Agnes Wood, wife of the late Thomas
Wood, who moved to our city several
years ago from Union county, and is
a member of one of the oldest and
most prominent families in this sec
tion of the country. She is a young
lady of sterling worth and merit and
endowed with those natural graces
and inherent qualities of heart and
soul that are characteristic of a good
woman. She is highly attractive in
person and manner, gentle, tender
and affectionate in her disposition
and exceedingly friendly and pleas
ant in her relations with everyboSy.
Besides these many attractive quali
ties, she is extremely industrious,
and will be a helpmeet in the true
sense of the word to the man whom
she has honored with her hand and
her life.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson’s friends are
numerous, not only in this city but
Id adjoining counties, and we know
that they will all join us in extend-
log congratulations and wishing for
them a long life of conjugal;felicity.
THE GLORIOUsToURTH.
The Umy We Celebrate to be Observed In
■ Fitting Manner.
We are to have a Fourth of July
celebration. It looked for awhile as
if we had forgotten the National
Birthday, but the committee was
simply holding back until everything
was almost in shape, trying to give
the citizens and their neighbors a
surprise party, as It were. It is
planned to have a celebration that
will eclipse any previous effort. The
best features of former programs
will be repeated, while there will be
many new and novel features added,
so that it will be truly a day of en
joyment sod pleasure long to be re
membered; a day that one may look
back to with no regret—nothing but
cheerful memories. We will all re-
turu to our labors on the following
day refreshed by the day’s recreation.
Let all come, join in and be happy
and care free for one long hot day,
wade through the sylvan glades of
famous old Limestone, renew pleas
ant acquaintances, revive rose-tinted
memories of days of “auld lang
syne,” laugh over the funny features
of the program, and there will be
many of them, or look with breath
less Interest on the more exciting
events, and after the tension has
been relieved to straighten up, draw
deep breaths of satisfaction and give
vent to your pent-up enthusiasm iu
shouts of approval. All that makes
one glad one is living.
There will be bicycle races, foot
races, a good game of baseball, horse
races, pony races, athletic perform
ances, open air vaudeville, a novelty
In our section, a good balloon ascen
sion of a mammoth balloon fifty feet
in circumference, an oration by a
celebrated orator, a grand street pa
rade, with many new and unique
features, the day to be ended with a
grand bail, at which the hellos and
beaux of Gaffney and her neighbors
will be well represented.
The soliciting committee will call
on the business men in a few days
and it is to be hoped that you will do
•11 that you can to assist them.
CRUELTY AT CONVERSE.
Young Mlscreuuta Kook and Keat Up an
Inoffeudive Tramp.
A few nights ago a mob of boys at
Converse rocked and beat unmerci
fully an inoffensive tramp who hap
pened to wander into that town.
Since the disgraceful occurrence Mr.
R. D. Suttles, the vigilant police of
ficer at that place, has traced the
act to the guilty persons and brought
them to justice. They were taken
before 'Squire Williams, magistrate
at Converse, and made to suffer to
the tune of $30.00. And it seems
that the end of the case is not yet. It
is said that some of the good citizens
ot Converse are thinking of pushing
the matter, and that should they do
so, it will go much harder with the
guilty ones—and it should. Such
ferocious cruelty, such malicious
meanness, such wreckless disregard
for the rights of others and for the
life of a fellow-being, should be pun
ished to the fullest possible extent of
the law.
Keud It lu 111* Newspaper.
George Schaub, a well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio,
is a constant reader of the Dayton
Volkezeitung. He knows that this
paper aims to advertise only the best
in its columns, and when he saw
Chamberlain’s Bain Balm advertised
therein for lame back, he did not
hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had
suffered with the most terrible paius
in her back aud could get no relief.
He says: “After using the Fain
Balm for a few days my wife said to
me. ‘I feel as though born anew,’
and before using the entire contents
of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties.”
He is very thankful aud hopes that
ail suffering likewise will hear of her
wonderful recovery. This valuable
liniment is for sale by Cherokee Drug
Co.
