What with the rainy days immed- 1

in hard luck this season. Many of |

the generous gift. May he live long f

The Record is getting out ahead r
3f time this week, which accounts t
for scarcity of local news. This is c
ione in order to give our faithful j
)ffice force the opportunity of enjoying

?d to Lake City with his family, .ii
vhere he will engage in business,
tfr Wilson says he is not leavirg a
iingstree because he dislikes the

t the finest little town he has ever a

>f the best county papers in the State.
Ne regret to lose Mr Wilson and his ^

For the first time since last Sep- ^

ieed a rare pleasure to meet with so j
nany friends from town and coun:ry,
to receive their hearty hand- *
shakes and cordial congratulations h
ind kindly sentiments of friendship f
ind esteem. Such expressions com- p
ng from the heart are priceless t
ibove gold and silver, for they canjot
be bought with money. It made 0
as feel that we were not forgotten y
md our little outing will be cherish- o
?d as one of the pleasantest remem- v
prances of the many bright and hap- .
py memories associated with the
Christmas holidays. 8
The Kingstree High and Graded ^
school suspended class work Fr day 8
For the holiday season and will not f
resume duties until Monday, Janu- t
sry 6. The closing was marked with g
interesting and beautiful exercises.
Hie class rooms were all tastefully
ieeorated and each presented a ver- ^
itable scene of beauty. Visitors to t
the school were requested to vo'ta on I
the room which they thought to be s
most artistically decorated, and the
one occupied by the eighth and
ninth grades won the majority of 1
votes and the prize of $3 in cash \
which was offered for the best dec- \
orations. The second prize of $1.50 j
was won by the fourth grade. These .
grades are taught by Mr Holroyd
and Miss Davis, respectively. *

A good deal has been said about g
the so-called small-pox epidemic in
town and the reports in some instances
have been highly exaggerated.
We have refrained from commenting
on the subject until able to
make a personal investigation. This
we have done and while there are
still a few cases here, there has never
been, so far as we can learn, but
one or two serious cases, and these
are now over with. There never
has been what might be ca led an
"epidemic," as most of the cases
were more like varioloid than smallpox,
and at the worst stage of the .
nrnoTess of the maladv. not more
than five or six persons were afflict- j
ed at the same time. Practically y
everybody in town has now been!
vaccinated and in a week or two this1'
small-pox "scare" will be but a (
memory.

Never has there been a wedding
in this town in which more general
interest was taken than that celebrated
on Wednesday, the 18th inst, i
when Dr and Mrs D C Scott gave
their daughter, Helen St Clair, in
marriage to Lieut William W Hodlie,
USA. The hall and parlors of
the big white mansion cn Railroad
ivenue were beautifully decorated
*ith palms, ferns and holly, while in
the big reception room,undoubtedly
the largest in the town, a chancel
ind altar dressed in ferns and ivy
lad been erected. The beautiful!
lecorations of the house were in
arge measure due to the artistic
land of Mrs R J McCfi.be. On the
iltar burned a do?fen or more canlies
arranged artistically, while on
;he mantel above the fireplace more
tandles added their soft lustre to
the beauty of the scene. Half-past
even o'clock was the hour set for
he wedding, and long before that
ime a stream of guests flowed steadly
toward Railroad avenue and the
Doctor's house. At the door the
i
quests were received by Misses Ita- (
ine Brcckinton and Maud Logan
ind were shown into the parlor on 1
fte lett. mere wruie waning ior
he ceremony the guests had an op- !
>ortunity to inspect the handsome
ind costly presents, consisting of al- i
nost everything imaginable in cutp
dass and silver and coming from as j,
ar North as New York and as far
louth as New Orleans. For the
light the piano had been placed in i
he wide hall and here, as the hands
if the clock pointed to 7:30, Miss 1
Jelle Ervin's sweet soprano voice j
.rose in that sweet love song, "I ]
x>ve You Truly." As the song died ]
.way the triumphant strains of Men- <
lelssohn's wedding march, splendid-1'
y played by Miss Estelle Campbell, j
ang out, and to this strain the bri- j (
,al party entered the large recep- j
ion room on the right in the follow- '
ng order:
Miss Lilly Ervin of McClellanville 1
nd Mr Hey ward Scott of Kingstree.
Miss Hallie Covington of Marion {
nd Dr Theodore Hemingway of
Lingstree.
Miss Juanita Hewitt of Darling- <
on and Mr Sterling Boddie of Lou- 1
jburg, N C.
Then came the little flower girls
aintily dressed in white, with pink I
ashes, and carrying shepherdess I
askets of pink japonicas: Misses '
Itella Wolfe, Frances Brown, Mary ]
'ranees Montgomery and Margaret *
lurgess. Miss Margaret Lesesne, J

osition on the left of the minister,
he Rev E E Ervin, a former pastor i
f the bride. Then entered the fair \
oung bride on the arm of her dame <
f honor, Mrs D M Spivey of Youngs- J
ille, N C, a sister of the groom. As 1
he bride approached the altar the
joom, in the full uniform of a lieu- (
enant of infantry, entered from a i
ide door, with his best man, Mr B H 1
>erry of Henderson, N C, and joined
he bride. There, in the impressive ,
ilence that fell upon the audience i
lid in the presence of friends who
iaJ known and loved her all her life,
- ' ? ? e i .1J
nis iair aaugnier 01 nisionc uiu
Cingstree plighted her troth to the J
rallant young soldier at her side. i
After the ceremony and the offer- !
ng of cor.gratulations the guests <
yere ushered into the dining-room,
vhere Mesdames W G Gamble, R J
Cirk, John F McFadden and W T
(Vilkins assisted in dispensing the
lospitalities of the house. A delinous
course of cream and cake was
erved, while in the corner of the
lall, Miss Belle Ervin presided over
he punch bowl.
As the bride stood at the altar she
)resented a charming picture of se
ious yourg womanhood. The wed-!
ling dress was of white satin char- j
neuse, trimmed with lace and pearls, j
vith orange wreath and veil, and I
:ull court train. She wore a hand-1
iome pendant of pearls, the gift of
;he groom,and carried a shower boujuet
of bride's roses and lilies of
;he valley.
The dame of honor, Mrs Spivey,
vore a dress of pink charmeuse with
jearl ornaments. She carried a bou- i
juet of white roses.
The bridesmaids were all gowned
in white lingerie dresses and carried
pink roses.
Mrs D C Scott, the bride's mother,
wore a dress of black chantilly lace
and satin, trimmed with jet and coral
ornaments. Mrs Boddie, Sr. mother
of the groom, wore a handsome
costume of black velvet.
At 9 p.m.the bride and the groom, j
having changed their dress to traveling
costumes, left the house and
took the 9:15 train south for a honeymoon
trip, which will extend as
far south as Cuba. After January 2
Mr and Mrs Boddie will beat home
to their friends at Louisburg, N C.
The bride, as Miss Helen Scott, is ,
one of the best loved of the young
women who have grown up in Kingstree
in recent years. A host of
friends,while sorrowful that she has
left the home nest, rejoice with her
in her new-found happiness, and
their hearty prayers for her continued
welfare will follow her into
her new home.

The readeis of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure. Send for
