The Columbia Register in reporting another "romatic" marriage of a 15 year old girl io that city on last Saturday nigbt-"or early Sunday morning," uses the above caption, and closes the article as follows : The cu cz ber of young girls, not out of abort dresses or schools, made child-wires in tbe city of Columbia in the last few weeks and months, is certainly remarkable, and without tatendmg to reflect on anybody, most be said to be anything buta gratifying fact and" cae ?ot likely to benefit the reputation of tbe city oe advance the happiness of individuals. The eaee wkh which Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant, the yoaog and the old, with or without parental consent, are enabled to be married with neatness and dispatch at all hours suggests &e need of some more perfect safeguard of the home than appears now to exist here.

Cash is not dead but reported to be gettiog well. The Wade?boro (NIC.) intelligencer closes its notice with tbe following words which we recommend 6ome of the papers to lay away for future use: ''A man of many sterling qualities, his end will be regretted by the brave who feared hiaa not, whatever coward hearts, which quaked in his presence, may prompt malicious tongues to speak against him now."

M ul? dra w in Darlington County was all aglow with Hie and beauty on last Wednesday even? ing. Love was * never lovelier than on this occasion, and everything conspired to make life as intoxicating and delicious as a maid? en's dream. The spacious parlors were beau? tifully and gorgeously decorated with rare and choice flowers that were symbolical of the event about to be solemnised amidst a scene of eucban ting-loveliness. Promptly at half-past eight o'clock the two pretty little flower girls, Misses. DuBoise and Gee appeared upon thescene exquisitely dress? ed in white, artistically embroidered with rose bods. Each had a basket of roses and their delightful duty of strewing thc pathway with roses for the bridal party was most gracefully and daintily executed. Everything was in readiness for the grand bridal march. Even the modest moon and cunning little stars whose images bad all the while been reflected in the rippling waters of the beautiful lake near the front garden, now peeped in through the doors all agog with ex? citement and pleasure, in anticipation of what was soon to be seen. The effect was that of fairy-land. Such were the influences at play upon the imagination when the soft and tender notes of the Wedding March floated upon the balmy air and heralded the coming of the bridal party, and in perfect time to these sweet accents the couples marched down the pathway of roses and presented a picture that beggars description. Two by two they came in the following order : Mr. W. A. Cooper and Miss Annie Earle, Dr. James Earle and Miss Lalla Green, Nr. J. D. Chandler and Miss Leo Rhodes, Mr. W. A. Mcilwaine and Miss Bessie Law, Mr. Rhodes and Miss Nita McCall, Mr. J. D. Flinn and Miss Lissie Moisson, Mr. Guy McBride and Mies Annie Gregg, Mr. Moultrie DeLorme and Miss Leo Muldrow, Mr. D. C. Milling and Miss Bell Muldrow, Mr. Morton Muldrow and Miss Ellen Parker, Mr. Joe Muldrow and Miss Minna Moisson, Mr. David Cuttino and Miss Tedie Anderson. The groomsmen were in foll dress and all of the bridesmaids were elegantly attired in cream colored albatross, cut low neck and short sleeves with a satin bodice with beaded front. After tbe attend? ants had arranged themselves in the form of a crescent, Mr. Willie J. Anderson and Miss Annie Adele Muldrow, the happy groom and bride gracefully passed in under the horse shoe of daisies and took their position nnder the huge and beautiful Wedding Bell of roses and were made man and wife forever and ever by the Rev. W. J. McKay, who performed the marriage ceremony on this occasion in an easy, graceful and eloquent manner. The bride wore a superb white satin dress whose crystal front was only equaled in love? liness by the beautiful flowing veil most ar? tistically adorned with natural orange blos? soms sen t from the Land of Flowers expressly for the occasion. The snmptuons feast and ball can be num? bered among the many delightful features of that grand occasion.

Editor Watchman and Southron : DEAR SIR : It will interest the friends of education to know that the Wofford Fitting School, which was organised last year for the purpose of fitting boys more thoroughly for college, is so far a success. Last year the Trustees of Wofford feeling the necessity of some institution which would fit boys more thoroughly for College than the common school system was doing, bought the old Spartaoburg Female College buildings and organized what is now known as tbe Wofford Fitting School with Mr. A. G. Rem bert, of Sumter Co., Head Master. As some young men bare not time to take a regular collegiate course before beginning their business education, tbe Trustees have ar. ranged for a business course-not perfect, of course, but one that will fit a young man for the ordinary business of life-in connection with the regular course. Mr. Rembert did the work'alone, with what aid the faculty of Wofford conld gire bim, until the February Term, when Mr. O'Hear, of Charleston was employed as assistant. There are now between 60 and 70 young yoong men attending and with two young men at the bead of affairs each as Messrs. Rembert and O'Hear, there is every reason to hope for continued success. Mr. Rembert is one among the very few young men who have taken their A. M. diploma together with tbeir A. B. degree in fonr years. Mr. O'Hear was considered one of the leading men of his class. Wofford is looking forward hopefully to tbe time when the Fitting School will send their senior class over. There are about the same number of students in tbe College as in tbe Fitting School. There is to be seven thousand (7,000) dol? lars raised by the S. C. Conference this year for repairs wbich will greatly help the ap? pearance of things. Hoping you may find it convenient, Mr. Editor, to come to our Commencement, ! am very truly yours, "STUDM?T." Corbett's Mill Items. Ioatt, S. C., March 1, 1888. Mr. Editor : The weather at present is fine.. Last week we had floods of rain which stop? ped farm operations entirely. On Monday evening, Feb. 20th, we had the heaviest fall of rain I think I ever saw, and it rained more or less until Saturday. I want to say something about Bisbopville, or at least the railroad. A great deal of gnaoo bas been shipped there this season ; and to get what we want, we must order more than we have any use for, sud you know that won't pay. But not knowing the ropes, we only ordered what w? expected to use. But after the grab game was over, we came out 12 sacks short. ? have h?ard of several that have lost. One of the merchants told me that he had lost 17 sacks. He also told me that be bad heard of one man who bad one too clear. If the truth was known lhere are more than one or two who have made some clear. Every- man I have beard speak of Bisbopville says tbst they never ex? pect to have any more guano shipped to that point. Now that road would certainly like to be patronized bot such management as they have there won't do. I think it would pay the railroad to adopt better rules before another season and bave them published. _ POOR FARMER. Mr. John T. Dowell, 103 S, Citarles Street, Balto., Md., writes :-For lumbago and neu? ralgia affections I consider Salvation Oil an excellent remedy. Always keep it on hand.
