We are glad to know that our friend

and rising rapidly in his work and
wages in Washington, D. C He is a
deserving Cherokee county boy and
we are sure he will fill any position to
which he aspires with distinguished
ar.d eminent firness No y<'ung man
in the county lias had better oppor-
runities ehan he. ami he has made
good use of them He is a studeVit
of that model business man and gen
tleman, Mr. A N Wood, than whom
rhe State has no better financier with
in its borders. Larry i* a young man

sure no one. not even the hi ads of
the Government departments at

doubt, ills business quaMfications.

We notice that some of our widow

and iu most cases a true one, "D.’s

the crop will not be ne*,r so good as
it was thought at one time it wou‘d

a fine prospect on red lands but the
'•optipnou** rains have done it greet
damage, causing much of it to ro*,
besides putting on extra growth in
the weed without a corresponding
crop of fruit on it.

and Mr. Wood Whitmire, of N--*vry,
with Miss B* ?sie Crawford, ot Newry.

The veil, which swept the length of
her dress, added to the beamy of her
Midal costume. After the ceremony
pink and white refreshments were
served on the. lav.n Pink and white
