Miss Myrtle Gaffney and Mr. Boyd
Surprise Their Friends.
Last Saturday evening Mr. diaries
Henry Boyd, of Maysworth. N. C.,
and Miss Myrtle Gaffney, of this city,
were united in marriage at the par
sonage of the Buford Street M. E.
church by Rev. S. B. Harper. The
ceremony took place about 9 o’clock,
and was witnessed by a few relatives
and friends of the bridee. It was a
surprise not alone to Miss Gaffnev's
friends, but also to her parents. For
a week the young lady had been say
ing to her mother in a jocular vein
that she was going to leave her on
Saturday night, but nothing serious
was thought of the mattter. On Sat
urday Mr. Boyd came to the city. He
has been paying Miss Gaffney court
for several years. It seems there was
an understanding for some time be
tween the young couple that they
were to consumate their vows Satur
day nighL but they kept their counsel.
When Mr. Boyd arrived in the city
he called at the young lady’s home
and they concluded to carry out their
plans. Miss Myrtle then informed
her sister. Mrs. Wilson, and her
mother, of what was about to take
place. In the meantime the young
gentleman had called on Mr. Harper
and arranged for the ceremony, so at
9 o’clock they repaired to the par
sonage and were made husband and
wife.
Mr. and Mrs. Boyd left on No. 40
for Charlotte. They will make Mays
worth their future home.
The bride is the youneest daughter
or Capt. and Mrs. R. M. Gaffney. She
is an attractive and talented young
woman and numbers her friends by
the score. She will be missed from
Gaffney society circles in which she
was a shining light.
The groom was formerly a resident
of this city. He is an overseer for
the Maysworth Manufacturing Co.,
and a young gentleman of sterling
qualities.
Their many friends in Gaffney and
throughout the Carolinas will wish
for them nothing hut a most happy
ami successful voyage o’er the sea of
matrimony.

Prayers for Prevention of Cruelty.
(Our Dumb Animals.)
In England they have a society
specially organized for Christian men
and women to pray the Lord that Hfc
will move the hearts of human beings
to give greater kindness to the dumb
creatures that depend on our mercy.
And we have a very strong appeal,
from an American writer, that we
will endeavor to bring about in all
churches, both Catholic and Protes
tant, an arrangement that once a
vear or oftener Protestant pravers or
Catholic masses shall be offered for
the aboVe object.
