STUCKEY-HUTCHESQN NUPTIALS. i Wednesday night at the Methodist j Episcopal Ch arch, Sonth, occurred thc j marriage of Miss Daisy Lee Hutche I son, the charming daughter of former j Senator F. M. Hutcheson, to Dr. j Henry Mortimer Stuckeyj of Sumter, j South Carolina. The church was prettily decorated in palms and river plants with strings of simias twining the chandelieres and bunches of white lilies and carnation on the altar. A little before the appointed hour Miss Josie Smith, accompanied by Mrs. Atkinson on the organ, sang Reginald De Kovens' beautiful song, "I Promise Thee." It was effectively rendered, the cadenced words strik? ing chords of sympathy in the hearts of the hearers. Promptly at 9 o'clock the Lohengrin . wedding march heralded the arrival of the bridal party. The ushers, Messrs. Gr. A. Lemmon, J. H. Burns, of Sumter, and P. M. Hutcheson, Jr., and S. A. Banks, came down opposite aisles and formed a semi-circle around the chancel; the maid of honor, Miss Ethel Hutcheson, sister of the bride, gowned in white organdi? over pink, .and. carrying piiik. bride's maids roses. Jed. the way down the, isle, fol? lowed by the bride on the arm of her father. They were met at the altar by Dr. Stuckey, and his brother, i\fr. George Stackey, who was his best man. The bride wore a white gown of moussiline de soie, over white taffeta silk, trimmed elaborately with exquisite poini lace. She carried a shower bouquet of oride's roses and maiden-hair fems. The ring ceremony was performed by Rev. P. M. Thomas, and while the words were being said that bound these two lives together the soft strains of "The Angels' Serenade" added to the beauty of the words, lending a sweet solemnity to the occasion. After the service was said they marc aed out while Mendels? sohn wedding narch so full of memo? ries of the past for some and of prophesies of the future of others, was being played. They were then driven to the home of the bride, oh Terrace Hill, where a reception was given to a few of the bride's intimate friends and relatives.-Henderson, Ky., Daily Gleaner, May 4. Death of Mr. Anthony White. The people of this city generally feel the serious loss sustained in the death of Mr. Anthony White which occurred last night at his residence on North Main Street. He has been very ill for some days, but hopes had been entertained of his recovery. So that his death comes to many as a surprise. But death nearly always comes that way ; no matter how serious the illness or how slight the chance of recovery. Mr. White was born December 3rd, 1827 in Sumter District, where he has spent the many years of his useful life. He married Miss Elizabeth Dick, daughter of the late Dr.v T. M. Dick. Prior to the civil war he was engaged in mercantile lines in Sumter, and was the head of a very successful business. In 1866 he established an Insurance Agency, which grew and prospered until he retired ![ast year from active business Trarsuiis. HB enjoyed the perfect confidence of his friends and patrons, and his kind, generous deal? ings held them to him with firmest ties. For two years 1880-1881, Mr. White represented Sumter County in the Legislature, where his wise counsels and sound judgment gave him large influence. He w,is well fitted by nat? ural endowment and education for higher positions of honor and trust, but his modest, retiring nature would nevei have permitted him to enter into any contest or scramble for posi? tion. He was patriotic and loved his mother State with, great devotion. Whatever public service he rendered was with high aEd honorable purpose, without thought of self or personal advancement. For about twenty years he has been a member of the Board of Regents of the,South Carolina Asylum for the In? sane. His interest in this institution was unbounded. During all the years of his connection with its manage? ment, he was never absent more than two or three times from meetings of his board. For many years he has been an earn? est, faithful member of the Presbyte? rian Church. As in all other rela? tionships, he here brought his powers for the furtherance of all that was good and true ; and nowhere else, save in his own home, will he be more greatly missed, more sincerely mourn? ed than by his church. Liberally of his means did he support the institu? tions, and wisely of his clear head and kind heart did he guide in her coun? cils. He, was elected e'der in 1S76 and held*the office until death. He often represented the church courts, and was several times a delegate to the General Assembly, As already intimated'Mr. White was of a mdoest disposition and retiring nature. But these characteristics could not hide the. great intellect and sterling worth of the man. His friends knew him, trusted him im? plicitly, and were never disappointed in their expectations of him. His four surviving children, Mr. Anthony White, Jr., of New York, Dr. Leonard White, of Statesville, X. C.. Misses Mary and Adelaide White, of this city, have the sincerest sympathy of many relatives and a lanre circle of friends who, likewise, mourn his death. The funeral services will be held in the Presbyterian ("burch at 10 o'clock a. m., tomorrow. DEATH. Mr. Soule Mellen died today at his home in Wedgefield, after two weeks ; sickness. He was about forty three ! years old. A widow ann seven chil dren are left to mourn his loss. Fun- ? eral at ll o'clock tomorrow morning ? at the Cain burying ground, m-ar I residence. Mr. W. O. Cain. The many friends of Maj. J. L. ? Coker, of Hartsv?le, will be grieved j to learn that h^ was taken suddenly and seriously ill Friday last with ap? pendicitis. He was taken immediate? ly in a private car to Richmond. Va., for treatment.-Baptist Courier. Mr. C. M. Amar, passed the exami? nation and was admitted to practice asl an attorney, in *;be Supreme Court j on the 7th: Eleven other applicants j also passed and were sworn in as at-1 torn ey s. Death of Rev. J. Thomas Pate, D. D. Rev. J. Thomas Pate died in the city of Florence, SC., on last Thursday morning at 5 o'clock. Since last De? cember, his friends knew he could not live. That he resisted the enemy, death, until today attested his vitality and strong will power. Dr. Pate was born in the city of Sumter, S. C., June 27, 1856. Cra? dled in a Christian home, his entire life has been lived in Christ. He was educated at Wofford College. As a student in college, he was known ever to stand for that which was pure and righteous. Being licensed to preach, in the Methodist Church, he joined the South Carolina Conference in 1877. That he was a successful pastor and preacher his appointments fully attest. Careful always in the prepa? ration of his sermons, sympathetic and kind in his association with men, and zealous for the advancement of his Master's work, Dr. Pate was a popular, preacher. Having a . body racked with pain and frail withal, the amount of work he did during his life was miraculous. Our town was justly proud to give to the "State such- a man as Dr. Pate. The communitymourns the loss of one of its best sons, and enters into sorrow and sympathy with the bereaved wife and each member of his family. 5 The funeral was held in Florence at 10:30 Friday morning, and the inter? ment was also there. The Funeral of Dr. Furman. The funeral of Dr. John H Furman which was held Thursday at Bethel Church, Privateer, of which he hi?d been a member for nearly fifty ye?rs, was attended- by hundreds of his friends and neighbors, by whom his death- is felt as a personal loss. The community in which Dr. Furman lived and practiced his profession for so many years owes much to his influence and example, and his neighbors in speaking of their departed friend Thursday testified in the sincerest and most feeling manner of their apprecia? tion of his great ability as a physician and his broad charity as a man and citizen. At the conclusion of the services con? ducted by Rev Louis J. Bristow, at the request of one of the congregation the casket was opened, and those present gathered around for a last look at the face of him whom they mourned. There were a great many negroes pres? ent and none showed more grief than they for they realized that they had lost a true and kind friend, a friend who had been uniformly kind to them. Mr. Fred S. Averill, son of Col. J. H. Averill of Charleston, died yes? terday morning at 10 o'colck. He was stricken with appendicitis last Thurs? day night. The doctors operated as soon as they were satisfied of the na? ture of*his|trouble, but it was even then too late, for blood poison had set in before the operation. \ Two Gold Medals for Sumter.

If a compa? rison be made the opinion would be hazarded that there were present quite a number more than have been seen on Memorial Day for several years past. The flight of years'has no effect upon the attendance on Memorial Day exercises save to implant more deeply in the hearts of the people of the South the custom of assembling once a year beside the graves of the Confed? erate dead for the purpose of paying a tribute to their memory. To the ma? jority of those who now participate in these exercises the war for southern independence is not a part of their personal experience, for the ranks of the veterans who obre the heat and burden of the sanguinary conflict grow thinner each year, but a matter of history and tradition, nevertheless all who gather together to decorate the graves of those who fell on the firing line,are actuated by the same mo? tives and are one in sentiment. They all, old and young, honor and revere the memory of the gallant dead who liave slept in the silent bivouac of the dead for more than thirty-seven years, and their hearts swell, wi th pride at the thought that their grand fathers or fathers, or uncles or brothers Were soldiers and patriots who gave their lives and fortunes for the defence of country. Time has assuaged the bit? ter and hopeless grief and the heavy sorrow that filled all hearts when the soldiers' graves were new, and the pride that the South now takes in the imperishabiejfame won by the men who wore the grey is only tempered by sadness that the price paid for glory was so great. The order of exercises was as fol? lows: Prayer by Eev. W. A. Fairey. Music by Band. While band plays, the children place flowers on graves. Introduction of orator by the presid? ing officer, Mr. Altamont Moses Oration by Mr. D. C. Heyward Music by band. Salute over graves by military. The address by Mr. Heyward held the undivided attention of the large assemblage from first to last. The address was eloquent, feeling and in perfect harmony with the spirit of the day and occasion. While paying all due honor to the memory of the dead its keynote was hope for the future and it applied the lessons drawn from the past to the needs and duties of the present hour. The address was worthy of the theme and it is to be regretted that it is impossible to reproduce it in full, Mr. Hey ward .speaking from brief notes only. However, those who heard his eloquent and feeling words have an indellible impression ?of the high and patriotic sentiments to which he gave utterance that will not fade from recollection. A CARD. Ju returning my thanks to the mem? bers of the Sumter Democratic Con? vention for their kind endorsement of my candidacy for Secretary of State. I wish to assure them that it is not an act of formal politeness, but that it comes from the depths of a sincere and grateful heart, and I humbly trust that ho act of mine in the future will cause any member of the convention to regret having given me their en? dorsement. Respectfully, ' J. Harvey Wilson.
