f I "TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE," They Plight Their Troth for Life. CHURCH WAS CROWDED. Mr*. VlrxAnli* Cop* Uiml-Carroll |}. «'i>iii« , h >1 r*. ArHill>al(l C. Cree Fho Oremoii^ W»»h A Social Kvt-at of Importune** -A Popular Couple. The First Baptist Church in this cily was the scene of a most interest- ing social event on Tuesday evening. The building was taxed to it* utmost capacity to accommodate the extra ordinary large crowd which had gath ered to witness the marriage of RtV. Archibald C Cree and Mrs. Virginia Oopeland-Oarroll. In fact every seat was occupied in botii the main audi torium and the anhex and scores of people were compelled to stand in the aisles, etc. The church liras simply but taste fully decorated and everything bore a fitting contrast to the happy union that was to be solemnized. Some time before the hour »n- Dounced/for the ceremony to take place, which was 6:30. Prof. George Mui'ui tlie musical director at Lime- alone College, ascended the choir loft and bsgari a wedding strain, and it is hut just to say that never was a wed ding strain more delicately fingered Prof. Maxim is a performer whose delicate touch impresses itself even upon the untulored musical mind, and his playing on this occasion was superb. A -bort. while after the hour had arrived for the ceremony to be per formed Mr. J. Allen Cree, of Newport News, Va emerged from the pastor’s study aiid crossing the room took a seat on the opposite side. He was followed by Rev. Van Denter, of Sa vannah Ga., a lifelong friend of the groom who took his stand immed iately in front of the pulpit. Shortly afterward the bride and groom rmerged from the study arm in arm and placing themselves belore the minister were soon made man and wife. Mr. Van Denter said it was fit- iii.g that the congregation should be gathered to witness the marriage nf the pastor of the church. After the ceremony had been con cluded the bride and groom left the church by way of the main entrance and were at once driven to the home nf the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs James A Carroll, on Robertson and ly-gan streets. They later took the train for the north. The bride was attired in a becom- irg suit of whitn organdie made over white silk, and looked and acted the part of a bride. The groom wore the conventional b'aek arid made a handsome appear- JDCrt. The bride is one of Gaffney’s best known and most lovable ladies. She been a widow f.>r about four years, her first husband being Mr. Samuel C jpelaod. She is a daughter of Mr and Mrs. James A Carroll, who are reckoned es among Gaffney’s most wealthy, popular and progressive cit izens. The groom came to Gaffney some six or eight months ago from Louis ville, having been called from the Seminary to the First Baptist Church. He has by his genial disposition and pious demeanor won his way into the affections of his congregation and the people generally. That he is a man of remarkable tact and good judg ment is evinced from the fact that he has won for an helpmeet so charming a lady. Mrs. Cree will be of great assist- ance to her husband in his church work. She is a devote woman and her greatest happiness seems to be in administering to the wants and com forts of those who are not so situated that they con care for themselves. The happy young couple have the aincerest congratulations of a host of admiring friends, and The Ledger jrtins this host in wishing them long life and few sorrows. state Fair Note*.

We have noticed several very pret ty yards In Gaffney lately. Mr. H. D. Wheat has the prettiest yard in town, with Mr. A. N. Wood and Dr. Hamrick close seconds. But if these gentlemen will give Dr. Garrett a showing we have no doubt but that he will some day lead them a close race. We observed the doctor in Mr. Fred Stacy’s yard the other morning and he was trimming up his shrubbery and otherwise making the yard look attractive. Mr. Stacy likes to have bis yard look nicejand he some times employs a colored gent to fix it up for him. but he is always too busy at something else to take a hand in the work himself, and that is perhaps the reason why his neighbor desired to help him out. Lecture at Limestone College. Dr. T. A. LaFar, of Pensacola, Fla., delivered his famous lecture "The glories and genius of war, con trasted with the glories of peace,” to the students of Limestone College in the college auditorium last evening.
