HOME AFFAIRS. As to Obituaries. The rule of tili? Ofllce as to the pub lication of Obituaries, has always been that such matter in excess of ten lines was chargeable, at the same rate as advertising?one dollar per square, space of one inch. We now extend the limit to twenty lines. All obituaries exceeding this limit must be paid for at said rate. TO SUBSCRIBERS. A groat many of THE Advkktiskk's subscribers are in arrears,?many more than usual. It is impossible for tho pa per to got along unless its subscribers pay. During the year wo have ondoavored to glvo you the worth of your money. Your county paper publishes news that you can get In no other paper. Tho big weekly editions of dally papers publ'ihed in Atlanta and other cities, that you get for a low pi ,oo make you think that the price of your county pa per Is high. But those big weeklies do not toll you who is on the jury in Lau rons. Thoy do not toll you who of your frionds aro married and who aro dead. You cannot call upon them to publish tho rolls of honor in your schools and tho announcements of your pienlcs and club meetings. Kvon tho advertise ments in your county paper aro valua ble to you?they contain information which ovory man in haurons county froquontly noods. This year is elec tion ye.ir and vou will uood a county papor more than usual. A county papor cannot havo a large circulation like tho papors that the daillos publish and tho dailies can pub lish weokly editions much cheaper than wo can of course Wo havo been indulgent?too much - so for our good. Wo can ludulge no longer. On the first day of Maren we oxpoct to stop sending tho paper to thoso who have shown no disposition to pay anything tbis fall. Between now and then, tho eoonor tho hotter, we ask payment from all In arrears. If you can't pay all, and will pay a part, you will find us roady to meet you half way and to cont inue sending tho paper. One dollar for thoso who pay in ad vance. One dollar and a half strictly to tboso who do not pay in advance. Charity Boglns at Homo. Nobody is bothering with Congross now that our Solons aro in session. Another Projoctoscopo Event.

A very beautiful wedding look place in the city at noon on Wednesday last, by which Miss Bmmie Jones, the at tractive and popular daughter of Mr. w. W. Jones, beoame the wife of Dr, E. C. Doyle, of Seneca. The marriage took place iii. the home of the bride in the presence of relatives and intimate friends, Key. Robert Adams, of the Presbyterian church, officiating, The bridal party came in to Mendlcsohn's ever inspiring march rendered by Miss Caro Adams and after passing through gates of ribbon, held ajar by Misses Willie and Untie Jones, Bessie Todd and Samuel Fleming, took their positions for the ceremony. Misses Josephine Minter, Kmmic Meng, A11 if Webb and Louise Fleming, the bridesmaids entered first, followed by the groom with his brother and best man, Dr. W. K. Doyle, and lastly by the bride upon the arm of her sister, Miss Connie Jones, the maid of honor. The bride wore a becoming traveling gown of blue, combined most effect ively with while broadcloth and jet and carried a bouquet of white hya cinth and maiden hair fern. The bridesmaids and "best girl" wore handsome street costumes and formed a group unusual for beauty and grace Dr. and Mrs. Doyle took the train at 1.80 o'clock for a weddings trip to ter minate at their home in Seneca.

He served as Comptroller General of the State, an unexpired term In Congress, was of a noblo race of patriots, and 'n his lifo was an honor to his lineago and to the State which he so nobly served. Judge K. C. Watts. Some days ago our people were pleas ed with a visit from this popular ju rist, who always receives a warm wel come from his old friends and former companions. Probably no Judge Oil the Bench has been more attentive to his duties or more wise and just in his rulings than has Judge Watts, and we believe the General Assembly will al most universally endorse Judge Watts at the present session, and in so (hung reflect the will of the people generally. Comparatively a stranger to some of our people in a few sections of the Stale when first elected to the Bench, Judge Watts is by no means a stranger to the nubile now, and no man is more generally esteemed, not only for his judicial wisdom and learning, hut for his congeniality and convivial nature, also. The honored representatives of the peopleof the Slate made no mistake when they honored Judge Watts by placing him on the Bench, and he in turn has honored South Carolina. We cannot conceive of a quality more en titled to endorsement than that of du ty ably and conscientiously performed, which to-day stands to the credit of Judge Watts. Now let the General Assembly honor themselves by honor ing a worthy son of a worthy Stale.? Lauronsville Herald. 0. L. Schunipert. Ex-Solicitor <). L.
