Fire at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning
destroyed the barn of Mr. J. N. Look
residing on Warrior near Gray Court.
Besides he loses 000 bundles fodder, 300
bushels cotton seed, shucks, wagon,
wagon harness and his gearing. Mr.
Leek's neighbors rallied In time and by
noble efforts, saved five hundred bush
els corn and other buildings. Mr. Leek
will have the sympathy of his many
friends. Ho dosires to thank his neigh
bors for their heroic efforts and kindly
offers for assistance othorwiso. The
origin, of the fire is thought to be
incendiary. On Saturday last Mr. Leek
insured his dwolling, but did not in
clude his barn.
"A Breezy Time" was presented in
the Opora House Sunday night by Kit/,
and Webstor's Comedy Company. A
capital show it was affording plenty of
amusement.
Kathryn Wobstor, tho star, E. B
Pitts, Irarry Ross and Robert Mans
field were mombors of tho company
who in their several roles were partic
ularly storng. Tne music was good,
especially the playing on pipes by
Kathryn Wobstor and C. B. Fitts and
the selection rendered with tennis
rackets with bells attached. Contor
tionists wore in evidenco also and gavo
a fine exhibition. On tho whole A
Breezy Time was an attraction which
should havo drawn a full houso instead
ot a pitiful seventy-five. How can
Laurens expect tho managers of tho
Opera Houso to succeed in bringing
companies hero when thoy uro greoted
by such miserably small uudiunces.

A Wedding Last Wednesday.
The marriage of Rev. J. E. Carlisle
and Miss Kate Roland drew, a large
crowd to the Methodist church last
Wednesday. Promptly at twelve
o'clock the appointed hour, to Mondle
sobn's wedding march rendered by
Miss Mary Oreer, the ushers?J. B.
Brooks and C. E. Gray, of LaurenB, W.
M. Jones, of Spartanburg and Eldoo
Dibble, of Graycourt marched up the
aisles, on and stood each side tho chan
cel. They were followed by the Bride
and Groom. Rev. J. M. Carlisle, tho fa
ther of tho groom then performed the
ceremony. Upon its conclusion tho bri
dal party repaired to the home of the
bride, where a wedding breaskfat was
served after which Mr. and Mrs. Car
lisle took the train for Atlanta and
other points. The ohurch was most
tastefully decorated in chrysanthe
mums and ferns. The bride's dress
.was of brown mohair with velvet trim
mings, the bridal bouquet of white
chrysanthemums. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. J. J. Roland and is an
unusually charming woman, tho Groom
who has for a year past been the pas
tor of tho Methodist church here is
well boloved by his congregation and
tho possessor of talents which render
him un honor to his church.
Resignation of a Pastor.
The Second Presbyterian ohurch of
this city will havo the hearty sympa
thy of the entire community if they
should lose their beloved psstor, Rev.
N. .L Holmes, who tendered his resig
nation on last r.uiday. much to the
surprise and regret of his congregation.
Mr. Holmes has felt for a good while
that he ought to resume tho work of an
evangelist, in which ho was successfully
engaged when called to Greenville, and
this impression has become so strong
that ho was induced to tender his re
signation, with the view of entering
again upon evangelistio labors. The
church doos not want to obstruct the
evident inclination of their pastor, and
yet thov aro loth to pirt with
him, as he has rendored excellent
scivico dnring tho few years ho has
boon In churgo. Mr. Holmes is not
only one of tho most popular preachers
in tho city, but he is among tho ablest
and most instructive In the pulpit, and
his departuro from Greenvlllo will bo
gonerally rogarded as a very great loss.
Tho church will endeavor to retain Mr.
Holmes, but It is not thought likoly
that ho will roconsldor tho decision
already mado.?Greenville Moun

A Trip to Atlanta.
A fairer day has scarcely dawned
than the 4th of November 1895,
nor a gayer party ever left the
city of Laurens for the Exposition,
than the twenty of all nges, from
gay lads und lassies, e'en down to
grave motherhood, under tho guid
ance of the kind, genial und effi
cient agent of the S. A. L. After u
seemingly unending wait at Green
wood, tho pnrly was made glad by
the arrival of the vestibule. On
entering we found tho coaches
fillea to overflowing and if it had
not been for our kind friend, our
ride might not have been so pleas
ant, but tho conductor on finding
Mr. J. N. Wright leading the party,
invited us into tho Palace Sleeper,
where, after a delightful rido of
three hours, we reached the bust
liug city of Atlant?, immediately
we were met and driven to the
new and commodious hotel Alham
bra on Poachtree, under the pro
prietorship ol a former Laurens
boy, Alphoti8e Young. It would be
useless, if it were possible, to give
a full account of tho many things
we saw and heard: Sol Smith Bus
sell at the theatre, Moody at the
tabernacle, panoramic view of the
battle of Gettysburg, the magnifi
cent Exposition buildings With
their wonderful exhibits, to say
nothing of the art and educational
exhibits.
The display of tho natural re
sources of the southern section of
this continent is vast and varied,
and naturally attracts attention.
My advice to all is go, and if
possible, under the guidance of the
accommodating agent of the Sea
board Air Line. Roanoke.
That Tired Feeling
Is u common complaint and it is
a dangerous symptom. It means
that the system is debilitated be
cause of impure blood, and in this
condtion it is especially liable to
attacks of disease. Hood's Sarsn

tion, and also for that weakness
which prevails at the change of
season, climate or life.

Hi
Good Bicycle.
Would You Accept A First Class High Grade
Bicycle if it Were Offered You Free?
The ADVERTISER will give a fine Bicycle to the boy or girl, man
or woman or child who will bring in the largest list of subscribers be
tween now and Fcbninry 1, 1896, the cash to accompany the subscrip
tion.
Is an "Acme" Machine made by the Acme Cycle Company, Oi
Elkhart, Indiana. The Winner of the Machine may make his
own selection from their catalogue.
The "Acme" Bicycles cost One Hundred, Ninety and Eighty
five Dollars each. The winner makes his or her choice from the
Catalogue, regardless of price.
All you have to do is to get cash subscribers to The ADVERTISER.
Any boy 01 girl can get subscribers. Any person young or old can get
this fine bicycle by making a Kttle effort. A list of five subscribers may
win it. If a lady wins the bicycle she may get a ladies' wheel. Or she
may get a gentleman's wheel and sell it if she prefers.
It is a good plan to begin work at once.
As soon as you get a subscriber send in his name ami the money so
that the paper may be promptly sent to him. State that you are a con
testant for the bicycle and an accurate list will be kept of all the names
you send. Two half year or four three months subscribers will be
counted in the contest as one.
No Loss Possible.
Not Even of Time. "If I don't get the largest list I shall have had
my trouble for nothing" you say. No you won't either. The ADVER
TISER will give at the end ol the contest, except to the winner of the
bicycle, twenty-live cents for each subscriber sent in by a contestant.
So if you get forty subscribers you may win the bicycle. If you don't
you get ten dollars anyhow.
No person in any way connected with The ADVERTISER will be
allowed to enter the contest.
Don't lose a minute. Begin at once. Who gets the "jump" has a
big advantage.
