SCRANTON SNAP SHOTS i Veracious Verbiage Voicing Village and Vicinity. The town council is being severely censured lor neglecting the streets. It is lime they should j give this matter prompt attention, j Mr. Wmslow Wright left Tuesday morning for New York to buy j goods. He will also visit Boston | and other Northern markets belore j returning home. Hon. J. H. Blackwell will go to j Atlanta this week to buy a lot of! horses and muies. lie expects to j' bring back some tine animals, and! will be able to supply those who desire to invest in horsc-llesh. Mr. Wius'ow Wright has re centlv disposed of two car-loads t>l buggies and has ordered another supply. Tiiis shows that it ' "Hree silver*' is more plentiful' j ? ' than usual; and, by tlie way, I' will add that the majority of the! purchasers were tobacco planters.1 There will be a festival at the | residence ot Mr. B. 0. Whitehead ' tomorrow (Wednesday) night, j Jor the benelit of the Methodist I chyrch. A committee, consisting! ol Mesdames E. S. Johnson, S. A.' <'ox, Misses llattie Cook, Minnie) Young and Messrs. J.

Mrs. W. 0. Kelley is visiting! relatives iu Columbia while Mr. | Kelley is absent conducting pro- j traded meetings. There .is some talk of establish- ' jng a high school at this place in 1 he near future and I hope the project will be carried out suc" , cessfully. Wo need such an in stitution and believe it would do j .. , more to build up our town than j any other one thing. One of our' citizens who has the means to j back what he says, is very much ; interested in this matter, and ! says he will do a liberal part toward securing the school, and will I pay the tuition of five children (lie has none of his own) for one year. I hope to be able to make j a lavoiable report on this subject before very long. IM iss Daisy I lam bo, of Ninety Six, S. C*, spent last Monday night in Scranton. She was on her way to Friendfield, where she will teach school this winter. Isn?t it somewhat singular that "orange blossoms" bloom and flourish most in the season ot the I *sere and yeilow leal?" Dlimatjc f - conditions, which govern vegeta-j hie life, do not seem to affect this' peculiar ilower, which lias been j set apart lor the sacred service ol'j bedecking the brow of many a; bright and beautiful bride. Nnejikinjr ol "orancre blossoms," methinks I scent their odor now.] i Your recent eJiloriai on *.he no-; cessity of establishing telephone; connection between the principal J points in the county had the right j ;tring," and I hope you will "ring I 'em up again.1' Vox PotTM. Those Kingstrre Orange Blossoms. Gov. McSweenev recently ac-' cepled an invitation to marry two ' couples at Kingstree, in Williams-] burg county, on the evening of1 October 31. iJoth the young; ladies are of the Jewish faith.! They did not wish either a rabbi | or a minister to perform the marri:n/f> pfM-pmnnv. This is not the first lime that such a ceremony i has been performed. During the ! late Gov. Richardson's adminis-; t ration such a ceremony was performed by that officer at the ex-j ecutive mansion. When Gov.;, McSweeney consented to conduct! the marriage of the parties he had i not thought of the fact that he! would have to be in Columbia on 1 the 31st., that being one of the: big days of the Staie fair. He'i will therefore write the parties j, interested asking them to come;' to Columbia and permit him toj( perform the double ceremony at j the executive mansion. ?The j i State. Oct. 10. I!
