A marriage is always an event of interest whether it he that ofu Queen, the lace of whose dress may cost a thousand pounds, or * the peasant girl who is happy in ' love's young dream, even in her i rustic simplicity. A very beautiful wedding took ' place in the Presbyterian church \ on Thursday evening last, April i 20th. The high contracting parties were Mr. Stewart W. Heath, a popular and successful young business man of our town, and Miss Mayme Brown, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. McD. Brown, of this place. The doors of the church were , thrown open at 8:30 o'clock and > the building was soon filled to its 5 utmost capacity. The ushers were 1 Dr. G. W. Stevens, Messrs. \V. C. Hough, John Crawford and Walter Davis. The contrasting colors of the evening were gold and white. The ushers carried wands ' of these olors alternately. Al| though the crowd w: s large the ( ushers were so efficient in the discharge of their duties that every one was seated without confusion. ( Much artistic skill and taste was displayed in the church deco lations. Just in front of the chan| eel a graceful arch of evergreens extended Irom aisle to aisle. The . columns and chandeliers were ''beautifully entwined with evergreens and dowers. The chancel " was ablaze with gayest colors, spring's brightest treasures, cut j Mowers and potted plants, interspersed with palms and ferns. ' immediately over the contracting ' , parties were suspended two em ' | l.lematic doves typical, we trust, 1 ol peace and love that is tr? he , with them as they journey down ' tlie voyajre of lite. Promptly at t) o'clock the hri1 dal party arrived. As they enter ed the vestibule Miss Kileen Lemmond, assisted by Mr. P. (i. s McCorkle, sang with very sweet ' ell'ect one verse of t lie sonj; uYou." | The wedding march was then ren I dered very beautifully by Miss I Mary Hunter, and the attemlants. ' of whom there were ten couples, ' | marched gracefully down the aisles ? and took their respective places - around the chancel. l'he couples 51 were as follows: Mr. P. <L Mc('orkle,Miss Minnie Swit/.er ; Mr. llarrv Foster,Miss Maud Heath; Mr. P. Frown, Miss Nan WitliI ers ; Mr \V. H. Heath, Miss Florence Frown ; Mr. Hervey Wither. ' spoon, Miss Mecca Avery ; Mr. C. . | I). Jones, Miss Locke Crawford ; II Mr. J. II. Witherspoon, Miss Lena >j Heath; Mr. J. T. Stevens, Miss 1 Fannie Hasselfine : Mr. F. II. ; Hardin. Miss Floise Foster; Mr. [ j M. C. Heath, Mi<s Aline Moblev. Next in order came the llower . jrirls, Miss Mary Kvans Wylie and 1 Miss Minnie Jones, the one pre 'coding llie groom, the other the 1 1 bride, one scattering white roses, f the ot her yellow ones. The groom I ! :'aine down the right aisle leaning 4! on the arm of his brother, Mr. M. [ ' <'. I feath, and the bride down the left aisle supported by her maid of honor,Miss A'ine Mobloy. They [ met before the alter. A solemn hush fell over the assembly as . Dr. C. W. Humphreys, in a short i but impressive ceremony, pro I nounced them man and wife. The f party remained in position a few i moments and Miss I.emmond and Mr. McCorkle sang the last verse i of the song "You." The wedding ' march was then resumed and they / J tiled out of the church. 1 The bride was gowned in white > brocade made tn twite,. The bris da I veil hung gracefully over her ? slight figure greatly enhancing s her lovliness. Her bouquet was a (duster of Marshal Xeil roses. 1 The bridesmaids were beautiful i ly dressed m organdie made <h roilr/te ami trimmed in llio con > trast i 11^ colors?white android, s' After the church ceremony there was an elegant reception given at the homo of the bride's parents and many handsome pros en I s were received. Let us hope that two lives so beautifully made one may be abundantly happy and prosper j ous and that a heavenly benediction may rest upon them. The next day an elegant reception was given the bridal party at the home of Mr. J no. T. Stevens, a business partner of tho groom. J tenth of Mr. A\ II. It. Vim fee. The sad, though not unexpected news of the death of our townsman, Mr. Nathaniel (i. B. Chafee, was given to the public here last Thursday by a telegram from Marshal J. 1*. lluntcr. The end came at 7:110 o'clock that morning. His family were all with him in his last illness up to his death. From the News and Courier we get the following account of his war record and of his life afterwards : "Mr. Chafee was born in Charleston on February 14, 1842, and was therefore a little over 65 years of age. lie was a member of Camp Sumter, No. 250, I'nlted Confederal Veterans. His | war record was one of which his JainiJ ly may be proud, lie entered the serI vice of the State early in 1X02, he enlisted in the Confederate service in j Capt. Davis's company,the South Carolina Hangers, known during the war as Company "1)" of the 5th regiment, South Carolina cavalry. His service in 1X02 and 1X03 was on the coast of this State, but his company wasorderI ed to Virginia in the spring of 1X64, j forming a part of Itutler's brigade, j Hampton's division of cavalry, A.

Mr. C ha fee served throughout the war with zeal and fidelity, enduring with eheerfulness all the privaI lions incident to the service, and con| ducting himself in battle with distinguished bravery, lie never aspired to ' be more than a private in the cause which was so dear to his heart, but he | endeared himself to his comrades and enjoyed the friendship and esteem of (Jens. Hampton and Itutler and all the other officers of his command. The war ended, he addressed himself to the duties of citizen, and engaged in business, tlrst at Aiken, but subsequent ly at Lancaster, B.C., where ' he established himself in business, and ! where he was Hying when he was I called by I'nited States Marshal John | 1*.
