casualties in either town or

The dispensary at Kingstreo,
Williamsburg county, was rob >ed
Wednesday night and $1800

Public sentiment here demands
hat the governor remove at once
he county board of control and
very one else connected with
he dispensary hero." The disposer's
bond expired on Dec.

dispensary and sent an inspector

respect the century just closing
was the greatest in which man

a long list Off inventions that are
in universal daily use, and
without many of which it seems
to us that we could not now
dispense, yot many generations
of people lived before us without
them. When the nine
toonth century dawned there
was no railroads, no telegraph,
no sowing machines,
no typewriter, no mowing or
eaping machines, no cylinder
printing press, no improved agri
cultural machinery, no cotton or
vooleii mills, no electric lights,

mfo to say that of all who may

I It was a very quiet but beautiful
affair.
The residence of Capt. J. P.
II inner, father of the bride, was
tastefully decorated with cedar,
holly and other evergreens appropriate
to the season ; tin
daylight being excluded mellow
illumination from candles and
shaded lamps lent lustre to tlio
scene. Precisely at one o'clock
Lohengrin's Bridal Choruf
sounded from the organ in tlw
I library, Mrs J. P. Hunter Ten
dered the nipo'eh. Miss Oath
Serine Foster accompanied h}
Mr. E. J. Cunningham, the
only attendants of the couple,
passed slowly through the hal
and into the parlor, where the
ceremony was to he performed
They were, at a proper interval
'followed by the bride and
1 groom, elect. Miss Hunter wftf
attired in a dark brown heavj
J cloth travelling costume pro
j! fusel J' braided in black, and
| she wore a corresponding hai
1 trimmed with soft feathers anc
cut steel buckles, and gloves tc
match. She carried a bouquet
of "Bride Roses," imported
from New York. Iler beauty,
which is proverbial, was at its
best on this memorable occasion.
Mr Barron was in full
] travelling suit, and was hand
some ;in<l dignified. Miss Foster
wore lavender serge trimmed
in two shades of green
velvet, with front of cream lace,
hat ami gloves to match. Site

Rev. Loon Pressley, of Edgemooro,
S. C., cousin of the
groom, performed the ceremony,
which was chaste, poetic
j.nd solemn, and was accompanied
by low soft strains from
the organ in tlio opposite room.
Soon after congratulations
wore over the guests, who were
nearest friends and immediate
families of the couple, were conducted
to the dinning hall,
where a sumptuous lunch was
spread. The table was a dream
of beauty ; it was covered with
cut geranium leaves ; and two
hearts made of the ever graceful
sniilax adorned either end.
The bride's cake formed the
center piece. It was imported,
and was a unique production of
art. The frosting was superb,
and was finished by a perfect
bride and groom, in regulation
costumes, standing beneath an
arch of white roses on its summit.

was elegantly accomplished,
