Blacksbukg, Nov. 12 —On last
Tuesday evouiag the wonted quiet of
Blacksburg was disturbed by a beau
tiful and joyous occasion—Miss Mary
Catherine Deal was married to Mr.
John Banders Scott, of Atlanta
At six o’clock the Presbyterian
church was filled by the many triends
and admirers of the bride and groom
elect. Gentlemen in full dress, ladies
in the most fashionable evening
gowns, children in laces and ribbons
—all made up a congregation ex
tremely picturesque. The church
was decorated appropriately with
pink roses, ivy, and autumn leaves.
The pulpit was surmounted by an
arch of variegated leaves which
formed a pleasing relief to the floral
stand beneath; concealed by roses
aud vines the organ stood on the
rosttam.
When the bridal party arrived at
the church door, Miss Emma Lump
kin began to play the wedding
marsh from Lobengren. Miss Lump
kin is an interpreter of rare sym
pathy, and on this evening she ad
mirably sustained her reputation.
The bridal party then entered the
chursb. This was composed of Messrs.
Ed Davies and Henry Fallows, of At
lanta; Misses Francis and Augustus
M. Deal, of Blacksburg, groomsmen;
Mr. Harry Walkei^of Atlanta, best
man; Misses Edna Healao, Willie
Hardin and Nancy Brice, of Wood
ward, bridesmaids, and Miss Annie
Davies, of Atlanta, maid of honor.
The bride came in leaning on the arm
of her eldest brother, Dr. S. M. Deal,
of Columbia. The groom advanced
and met the bride and with her stood
before the altar, when the Kev. Mr.
Potter by a beautiful aud siguiflcaut
service made them man and wife.
The bride was*one oftbe loveliest
that,your correspondent ever saw;
she was attired in a beautiful French
lace robe over white taffeta silk, pou
velvet girdle, and daintily framing
the Face was a bridal court veil
caught to the hair with a diamond
butterfly. She carried a show
er i boquet of white roses and
maidenhair ferns. Miss Annie
Davies, the maid of honor, wore a
delicately contrived gown of pink,
silk mull, trimmed^with point-Veuice
lace; she carrried an arm bouquet of
white chrysanthemums tied with
white chiffou.
The bridesmaids’ -gowns were of
white point-de-spiris over white taf
feta. The bridesmaids carried arm
bouquets of pink chrysanthemums
caught together with pink chiffon.
Thus attired these young ladies made
a stately and charming appearance.
The reception at the house was
from half after six until half after
eight o’clock. The beautiful home
of Mrs. M. E. Deal, th^ bride’s moth
er, was decorated in accordance with
the general color scheme of the wed
ding. The bride and groom stood in
an alcove arranged to represent a
bower of roses, and were surrounded
by the bridal party. Mrs. Deal was
assisted in receiving her guests by
Mesdames Osborne, Gaden and
Anderson and”Miss|Lizzie Brown, of
Rock Hill. In the dining room which
was beautifully decoraaed with silver
caudelabros.pink candles and roses, a
delightful supper was served by Mrs.
C. L. Whisonant and Mr?, J.M. Peak,
assisted by Misses lola Byars, Lelu
Davies and SalMe Davidson.
The bride and groom left on the
evening train for Washington, D. 0.
The bride’s traveling gown was a
handsome one of brown broadcloth
with bat and waist to match.
Many handsome and valuable pres
ents of china, cut glass, silver and
bric-a-brac* showed the high esteem
iu which the bride was held by her
many friends.
At a supper the evening before,
given by Mrs. Deal to the bridal par
ty, the bridal cake was cut, aud Miss
Edua Healan received a gold signet
ring; Miss Annie Davies found a
silver thimble; Dr. Deal discovered
the dime and Mr. Fallows fell heir to
the bachelors. The bride preeented
to each of her bridesmaids a dainty
gold crescent pin set with pearls,
and the groom elect to his attendants
gave each a handsome pair of gold
cuff buttons.
i Thus one more whom we loved was
Jwikeo away to make other homes
^^pppier by her presence. May Mr.
and Mrs. Scott live long and happily
is the wish of all their friends.

Interesting Pttragrapbs and Recent Hap

Gathered Up by Our Regular Correspon

Etta Jane, Nov. 10 —The centeo-
nial celebration came off at Elbethel
church last Saturday aud Sabbath, as
was announced. We were not able
to attend but one day—Sabbath, when
we met the largest congregation we
have ever seen assembled there dur
ing our acquaintance with the place
of thirty-eight years.
We did not reach the church until
after Rev. W. T. Tate began bis ad
dress. Bat what we heard of it, was
full of interest and encouragement.
He recounted the various changes
that have taken place during the
century just ended and emphasized
the fact tnat the country churches
had always maintained their loyalty
and given to the world some of the
greatest men. The country church
was the hot bed from which the city
churches draw their membership
aud the mission fields its most agres-
slve workers. One thing was very
noticeable—many of the country
churches, where they have been al
most depopulated by the growing
towns drawing off their members,
have increased their contributions to
the cause of Christ—thus proving
their consecration to His service.
It was commendable. They, with
the scarcity of their members, fill the
place in the great Jvineyard of the
Master with their means. These are
healthful signs. In a few cases this
might not be the oaee, but they are
the exceptions rather than the ruls.
Small congregations make up some
times in dilligsnce what they want in
□umbers. The epeaker did cot wish
to array the country against the
town or the town against the coun
try, but trotate facts as they exist.
This church (as well as others) has
spread out its help to other commu
nities and is supporting other church
es. Many members of Elbethel and
their children have gone to other
places and made themselves useful
and helpful in starting and maintain
ing churches, which she has the rigbt
to claim as her spiritual offspring—
which they are.
After adjournment for dinner the
congregation reassembled and sang,
“How firm a foundation ye saints of
the Lord,” etc., and prayer by Rev.
F. C. Hickson. Dr. Lodge, of Lime
stone College, spoke on the work of
the church for the last century.
Only those who know Dr. Lodge
either in person or by reputation can
form an adequate iiea of his address.
It was plain, simple and scholarly.
He spoke for fully one hour—recount
ing the various changes made by the
revolutionary acts of nations—the
rise and fall of earthly kingdoms and
with it all we are now just beginning
to see the revealed truth taught by
our Saviour nineteen hundred years
ago.
It would be folly for us, in the
short space of a leiter, to try to give
an adequate idea of what the speak
ers said—it would only tend to con
fuse the intelligent bearer or reader.
Of both we can truly say they were
replete with data and church Jbistory
the present generation should know
and understind: Those who failed
to attend and hear them, lost a treat
they may never have an opportunity
to enjoy—certainly they will never
hear anything better.
After the conclusion of Dr. Lodge’s
address the 'congregation sang, “Oh,
God^our help in ages past,” etc , and
Rev. Mr. Hickson pronounced the
benediction and the congregation was
dismissed.
Mrs. John H. Wilkins, we are sorry
to say, is very unwell.
Dr. L R. Black has moved into his
new home. It is not finished yet.
He has a nice location and better
than this, one of our neighbors who
took dinner with him, says bis wife is
the best cook in this country. That’s
saying a good deal for her.
A Ledger patron sends us word that
when we are scarce of news to put
something In the paper about Mr.
Jim Procter. We will do that sure.
Jim is a good fellow as everybody
knows.
In speaking of the U. C. veterans
reunion in our last week’s letter
Charleston is mentioned instead of
Columbia, in refrering to the reoen-
tion accorded the old soldiers and
their families heretofore.
Charleston, of course, affords a bet
ter opportunity for sight-seeing, but
nothing else. Columbia, for its hos
pitality, good will and cordial wel
come can’t be beat by any city or
people in the whole country.
In these reunions the privates
have the same right to be heard from
that the officers have, and we euggest
to the committee on programme that
Col. H. P. Griffith, of the Cherokee
regiment, be appointed to make the
annual address. Col. Griffith, though
» commissioned officer in the army,
whs in the line that did the fighting
and he bore his part of that burden
like the gallant officer and soldier he
was. He is a true type of the Con
federate eoldier—a scholar and Chris
tian gentelman, besides one npon
whom no honor could be more
worthily bestowed, and by whom no
duty will be more faithfully and satis
factorily performed. In making this
nomination, we but voice the sent!
ment of every member of the Chero
kee regiment and the great mejority
of the second brigade of U. C.
veterans by whom Col Griffith is
well and favorably known.
Both days at Elbethel the ladies
brought dinner and those who got
nothing to eat (if any there were)
have no one to blame but themselves
For their hospitality and warm
hearted Christian fellowship, no con
gregation or section in the country is
more proverbial than are the people
of Elbethel. We have been ttiere on
many public occasions, but never
have we witnessed a single one in
which the good women were not
equal to the emergency. The church
building has been remodeled and re
painted. The pulpit changed to the
other end of the building and the
side door closed up with a new one
made in the front end of the build
ing. The church is much more con
veniently arranged now than hereto
fore, in our judgment Besides the
decoration of fl m-ers during the ecn
tennia' exercises, ov*-r the pulpit in
large figures were 1803 and 1908 The
whole was very tastefully arranged
and in keeping with the occasion
they were intended to commemorate

(Correspondence of The Ledger.;
Lawn, Nov. 11.—Mrs. W. C. Whel-
cbel, of the Macedonia section, of

atives in this section last week, her
last visit before going r r^^'. r '\
Whelchel having decided t .■«
with his family to Arkau&oj.
pects to leave about the last of this
month. Mr Whelchel is one of Cher
okee's sucoesful farmers and one of
her very best citizens. Cherokee can
ill afford to give up such men as
“Billy,” but perhaps what is Cher
okee county’s loss will be Arkansas’
gain..
Mr. Whelchel will do well any
where be goes. Therefore, we know
that we but voice the sentiments of
The Ledger when we wish and pre
dict for him much success in his new
home.
Mr. W. Edgar Whelchel, of Cher
okee Falls, was on this side last Sun
day.
W. W. Whelchel made a flying vis
it to relatives at Jeter last Sunday.
Our farmers are anticiptaing the
planting of a considerable amount of
wheat this season, which work is now
getting under full headway.
Cotton is the s'owest about open
ing this year that we have ever known
it. There are some fields of cotton in
this section that are not more than
two-thirds open and at th« rate it is
now opening, we don’t know when it
will ever all get open.
We fully agree with Brother “J. L.
8.” and the Atlanta Constitution io
regard to the old “blue-back spelling
book.”
We are satisfied that there is no bet
ter book for beginners than Webster’s
“old blue back,” and we are not cer
tain but that some of our modern
colleges might devote some of their
time profitably in tho study of the
‘ the old blue back.”
Give a boy Webster’s old spelling
book, Davies’ old arithmetic and
Smith’s old grammar and at the end
of three years he will have a better
education than he will have at the
end of five years with tho new fan-
gled books of to-day

How We Catch a Cold.
A cold is sometimes contracted
while remaining inactive for a while
in an uncomfortable room or a cold
draft and by falling asleep under like
conditions. But most colds are
caught while sleeping too cold at
night. Deep sleep causes sluggish
circulation which renders the system
susceptible to change of temperature.
To prevent colds, sleep under plenty
of cover. To cure colds use Rydales
Elixir, it lessens the severity and
shortens the duration of a cold arid
prevents Pneumonia, Brouchitis and
Consumption. Gaffney Drug Co.
