James Reid Moldrow, of ibis County, and Miss Louise Witherspoon, of Brooklyn N. Y., was im? pressively and beautifully somemciaed by the Rev. W. J. McKay on the 28tb, of December at the residence of the bride's sister in the Brick church neighborhood. The nuptial vow was taken under an exquisite horse shoe of mistletoe and holly that hung most grace? fully over the happy and handsome couple. Col. Muldrow is a typical Southern gentle? man an'd his polished and charming manners has made him a great favorite with the citizens of Sumter County. In 1884 -without the slightest effort on bis part he was unanimous? ly elected to the Legislature, the very best evidence of the intrinsic worth of the man and of the high regard in which be "was held by bis fellow ocountrymen. Col. MulCrow is a large and successful planter, and has always taken a prominent part in the affiairs of his country-. His lovely and charming bride is a daughter of the late Hoti. I. Donnon Withers? poon v;i Yorkville, and a sister of Judge I. D. Witherspoon. The congratulations of the Watchmen and Southron are extended to this happv and for? tunate couple. - - i i ? Anniversary and Pounding. Though we ought to have been able to speak from personal observation, yet stress of circumstances at the time enables us only to . say on tbe inforni&tioa of others that two no? table events have occurred at the Presbyterian parsonage within the last ten dsys The first of these was th? c?lebr?tio'n on the evening Of the 3rd of this month, of the 6th anniversary of the Ladies' Aid Society. These celebrations are* always held at the parsonage, be:cg accompanied with appropriate festivi? ties. The one held last week,- though marred somewhat by the sad events which had oc? curred ia town a few days before, was well attended and much enjoyed. The annual re? port of the Society showed that it had collect? ed and disbursed in part over two hundred dollars during the y??r, al! of tb:3 money be? ing obtained in thegood old-time way. The second event occurred on the even* iog of the 10th. inst. Thi3 was a perfect cy? clone in the form of what is popularly called "Tbe Pounding of the Pastor." We are told and we beiieve it, that it would be impossible to find-well anywhere, a finer looking body of people, especially of the sei opposite to our own, than that which crowded the parsonage ou this occasion ; that the storm of good things that poured from the beart3 and bands of this goodly company, was like bail, the smallest stone of wbicb weighed a pound; and, lastly, that the pastor was utterly un? able to bear himself up gracefully under this petting storm. He soon gave up the attempt and acknowledged himself routed, vanquish? ed, demoralized, with tbe comforting reflec? tion, however, that to the victors do not al? ways belong the spoils. The iaw office of Mr. H. J. Haynswortb, : of Greenville, was broken into ?o Friday night by a thief, who attempted to force open the safe, but failed. The report that Mr. T. J. Tisdale was pre? sent at the killing of Justice Haynsworth is untrue. He wa3 io Sumter that day but not near the scene of the tragedy. It was told at ; this office and hence the. mention thereof. !
