McLendon's Death, [The State.] A short time ago McLendon, the State liquor constable, who started the trouble in Darling ton with his cry of “Let ’er roll, boys,” as he whipped out his pistol, died of the wounds here-J ceived in the battle and'follow ed to the grave Pepper, Gail- lard and other leading figures in the tragic affair. Speaking of his death the Florence Times says: ‘McLendon is, it is said, dead and buried, and with him let the dead past be buried. Both sides were wrong and both sides suffered. Let the cloak of charity be thrown over that day of bloodshed and never lifted to show the stains it caused.’ Miss Maggie Jones desires to announce to the ladies that she is opening up a line of MIL-LINERY that for STYLE and PRICES * not to be excelled, and JAjy [J^PJ to fit all the babies. Also a line of DARLINGTON'S LATEST INDUSTRY. Messrs. Burch & Burch, the proprietors of Darlington’s to* bacco factory, which began operations some months ago, now have manufactured and on the market four different brands of smoking tobacco that compare favorably in grade with tobacco manufactured any where in the country. The packages are all put up neatly, with attractive gilt labels, giv ing the name of the brand and the place of manufacture. So admirably have the firm per formed this part of their work, that it is difficult to realize un til one reads the label on it, that the package has not been put up at some of the great factor ies of Virginia or North Caro lina, instead of right here at home, where the industry is yet in its infancy, so to speak. As a result of their efficient and painstaking efforts, Messrs. Burch & Burch are finding a ready sale for their tobacco throughout this section, and particularly for the two finer brands, which are said to be equal to the best to be found anywhere. They deserve, there fore, and should receive, the hearty co-operation and support of the people of Darlington County for the spirit of enter prise that they have manifested, and if our people will only de termine to give them this sup port they can render it in a way that will cost them nothing. It is a well settled principle that, all things being cqu;tI homeen- terprise should be encouraged. If then, the tobacco manufac* tured at Darlington is, as is claimed for it, as good as that manufactured anywhere else, every smoker in Darlington County, when he goes to a store to make his purchases in that line, should ask for the “home made stuff.” A strict adher ence to this rule would result in hundreds of dollars being kept here every year that have here tofore been sent away, and every man, woman and child in Darlington County would, in Boyd—Williamson. (The State.] Miss Bessie Williamson, so well known in Columbia as one fortunate in being possessed of a beautiful voice, with which she has so often charmed and delighted her numerous friends here and elsewhere, is to be married to Dr. John E Boyd of Darlington, a very successful young physician who practices there. He is a member of one of the oldest families of Dar lington and is a representative young man. The marriage takes place on the 23rd. inst. The friends of the contracting parties wish them a long life full of happiness and free from sorrow. Miss Williamson is one of the most cultured young wo men in the State, and besides possesses great personal beauty. MAIL ORDERS RECEIVE CAREFUL AND PROMPT ATTENTION. FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! The Coast Line Reaching Out. [News and ConHer.] The Atlantic Coast Line has projected and is advertising for bids on a short line of road which it proposes to build as a connecting link between the Charleston and Northern and Manchester and Augusta divis ions of its system. The new road will run from Elloree to a point on the Monck’s Corner Road and will be about six or seven miles in length. The ex act purpose of ihe new road is not known, but it is supposed that it is to be utilized in facili tating the traffic with the south western part of this State and with Georgia that the Atlantic Coast Line is employing such strenuous efforts to build up. It will bring two important divis ions of the system into closer communication, and will be a serviceable short cut for cer tain classes of traffic. McLendon—S»verance. [Cypres* Cor., News and Courier.] Fair Hope Presbyterian Church, a few miles south of this place, was, on the 10th. in stant, the scene of one of the prettiest weddings that has ta- Ki en place in this section for a long time. The contracting parties were Mr. C. E. McLen don, a very prominent young farmer and Miss Hattia Sever ance. The waiters were as fol lows and marched in the church in the order named: Mr. J. A. DuBose, of Cypress, with Miss Adah Huggins, of Florence; Mr. J. W. Severance, of Cartersville, with Miss Rosa McLendon, of Cypress; Dr. J. H. Peel, of Car tersville, with Miss Maggie Green, of Ebenezer; Mr. John Barrett, of _ JPV Sumter, with Miss r Tb, asa „»/ by it more or less. What sa\ Miss Lizzie Scarborough, of Dar- you, smokers? It is but a small demand to make on your na tural feeling of public spirit and patrotism; will you not respond to it to a man? An inspection of our various exchanges coming from section of the State shows that the “early closing movement” has already set in most of the neighboring towns. When is Darlington going to begin it? The clerks, who have worked faithfully all the winter, need a little rest now that the long summer days are coming on, and it would be economy in the long run to give it to them. Who will start the ball in mo tion? Th# Easter Youth’s Companion. lington; Mr. Harry Andrews, of Darlington, with Miss Alice Severance, of Cartersville. The bride and groom then en tered the church and marched slowly down the right aisle, and taking their position facing the audience the wedding march f i • was played by Mrs. Claud Kil patrick, of Cartersville; the Rev. Baker, of Laurens, then rose and performed the ceremony, which was a very solemn one, after which the bridal party re paired to the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. R. M. Sever ance, where a most elegant sup per was in waiting. The new Mrs. C. E. McLendon was pre sented with a goodly number of fine and costly presents. I omit ted to state the young ladies were dressed in cream trimmed with white lace and white rib bon. After supper a fine string band struck up very sweet mu- | sic, and the fantastic step was kept up till a late hour. On Among the many attractive!
