[Chesterfield Advertiser.] On Thursday last the Adver- /is< r man set off on a business trip to the thriving little town of Hartsville. Since our last visit to Hartsville the town has been officered by a Mayor and Aldermen, and various improve- me its are in progress. We find here a number of sto es, all seemingly doing a rea ionable share of business. Col er & Co.’ is the oldest firm am. does a large credit business. Then we find J. F. Hunly&Co.’ Lee & Bro LaCoste Evans, Daniel Wadsworth, Cannon & Ma hews, Newsom & Clybun, Caddell & Co., Racket Store, and several others whose names vre cannot remember. Then two excellent drug stores own ed by Dr. B. S. Lucas & Son, and Dr. R. E. Lee. This makes a g >od business showing for the young town. We find quite a number of oui Chesterfield friends here and it is quite natural that our Chesterfield people who tiade in Hartsville will look them up. Those we think of now, are J. S. White, Daniel Wadsworth, S. L. Walsh, J. L. Walsh, La Coste Evans, W. J. Caddell and perhaps others. Hunt them up if you want good bargains. We are under special obligations for kind attention from Dr. B. S. Lucas, and family and also from Capt. Bell and family. Cant. Bell is the popular and efficient Mayor of the town and the proprietor of a first class livery and sale stable. When our horse is iu his care we know he will fare well. Hartsville has but one hotel, a handsome building, eligibly located and under the manage ment of our old war friend W. T. Wallace Esq. He was a good provider in the war and we have no doubt he will do all in his power for the comfort of Ids guests. Hartsville has two churches for the whites, a Bap tist and a Presbyterian. The Methodists have a church a mile or t o from town. I artsville has grown to be a first class cotton market and shins not less than eight or ten thousand bales annually. Mr. Hand, the efficient and popular R. R. Agt. seems to be always busy. The Hartsville Academy pre sided over by Mr. Lewis and Mies Rosa Lucas, the accom plished principals, seems to be in a flourishing condition. The Factory seems to be do ing well. Tho present outlook at Hartsville indicates further growth but to what extent, we are not able to determine. With a good hotel and such nice boarding houses as Mrs. Law’s, Mrs. Bacot’s, Mrs. Dr. Lucas and Mrs. Bell's, everybody who goes there will want to remain, and thus its population will in crease as long as Capt. Cannon can find a pine for a saw stock. Long live the beautiful little town of Hartsville and its good people. night. The occasion the marriage of Mr. D. L. Reaves, of our town, and Miss Lilian E.

Edwards left on Tuesday for Anderson, where he was married last evening to Miss Lucia Patrick. The fol lowing friends of the groom ac companied him and were attend ants on the interesting occasion: Messrs W. A. Edwards, M. T. Lide, J. E. Norment and E. J. Lide. Miss Emma Edwards, the sister, and Miss Sallie Ed wards, the cousin of the groom, were also attendants at the wedc.ing, having gone to An- cer>< n scm time previous. Mr. and Jrs. Edwards and the rest of the bridal party are expected to arrive in Darlington to-night. Mr. H. T. Thomas with Miss Sallie Durant; Mr. R. L. Durant with Miss Eva Lee; Mr. T. E. Baskin with Miss Emmie Thom as; Mr. Harry McLeod with Miss Mamie Kelley; Mr. Leon Hicks with Miss Addie Durant; Mr. W. R. Phillips with Miss Joe Crosswell; Mr. R. H.

Bradly acted as ushers. The ceremony was well ]>erforined by Rev. W. H. Kirton. After the wedding the bridal party with about 100 guests re turned to the house where a most sumptuous repast was en joyed. The supper table was a marvel of beauty and elegance. Nothing was lacking to make it complete. Upon one of the large cakes were the words in iceing: “Lee and Lilian, Nov. 7th, 1892.” A large number of presents were received, some of which were very handsome. The bride and groom are both very popular and many are the wishes for their future happi ness and prosperity. Pianos and organs cheap at the Bookstore. THE C. & S.

May Mean a Western Outlet for Darlington. [Clieraw Reporter, Dec. 7.] The Cheraw and Salisbury R R. was bid in at public auction last Wednesday by the Cheraw and Darlington R. R. for $50, 000. No one bid against the C. & D., and there would have been nothing accomplished had an effort been made to run the price up, because the Cheraw and Darlington already owned the majority of the bonds and stocks. What will be the out come of the purchase of this road it is difficult to say, but, as a survey has already been made from Wadesboro to Winston, it begins to look as though the At lantic Coast Line contemplates continuing the C. & S. on to Winston. Such a move on the part of the Atlantic Coast Line would give Cheraw a good Western connection and be the means of helping the town which hassuf fered by the building of the road only to Wadesboro. IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. A Young Darlingtonian Obtains a Good Position in the Federal Government. Mr. P. Bishop Parrott, of this place, is the fortunate recipient of a government position in Washington. He obtained it through the Civil Service. In October last he stood a Civil Service examination in Colum bia on stenography and type writing and on Friday last he received notice that he had been appointed to a position at a good salary in the War Depart ment, in the division devoted to collecting the “Records of the Rebellion.” Mr. Parrott left on Tuesday to enter imme diately upon his new duties. His friends all congratulate him upon his good fortune. He will have many chances of promo tion while changes in the politi cal complexion of succeeding administrations will not affect him, as he is protected by the Civil Service law. FOR MEPRY CHRISTMAS.
