AN AFTERNOON WEDDING. Miss Gertrude Epperson and Mr. Francis J. Boas Married. From the Daily Item, Nov. 4. Miss Gertrude Epperson, daughter of Sheriff Willam K. Epperson, and Mr. Francis J. Boas were united in marriage at 4 o'clock this afternoon in St. Joseph's chapel, Rev. A. J. Mc Neal, performing the ceremony Promptly at the appointed hour as the strain of the wedding chorus from Tannhauser were sounded by Profes? sor Schumacher's orchestra, Miss Nella Er. person, the maid of honor, entered the chapel and came slowly down the aisle, followed by the bride leaning on the/arm of Mr. James EL Dawes, her pother in law, who gave away the bride. At the altar the groom and his best man, his brother, Mr. William J. Boas, were waiting, haying efttered from the santuary, followed by Rev. A. JJ McNeal. The impressive marriage service of the church was performed while- the orchestra played in a minor key Men? delsohn's beautiful "Spring Song.* The ceremony over, the bridal par? ty retired from the chapel while Men? delsohn's Wedding March was played. Miss Nella Epperson, the maid of honor, wore a becoming costume of ; pink crepe de chene, a pink velvet hat and carried white chrysanthemums tied with pink ribbons. The bride wore an exquisite gown, i of cream taffeta silk and hand em? broidered chiffon, bride's veil and orange blossoms. She carried a show? er boquei of white chrysathemums tied with satin ribbon. The altar in front of which they stood during the ceremony was al? most concealed with a wealth of love? ly autumn leaves, white chrysanthe |mus and handsome palms. Immediately following the cere? mony a reception was held at the res? idence of Mr. and Mrs. "Neill O'Don? nell, the uncle and aunt of the bride, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Boas. Thc handsome home was exquisitely dec? orated with white chrysanthemums, palms and ferns. The bride received in "the drawing room, standing in front of the bow window which was banked with .white chrysanthemums. ?Light refreshments were served in the spacious dining room. The wed? ding bell was suspended from the chandalier, and the table was ex? quisitely decorated with white Chrys? anthemums and lighted by four cut glass candelabra, one at each corner. The decorations of the entire house were on a lavish scale and the ar? rangement was artistic and beautiful. Following j the reception Mr. and Mrs. Boas and their friends who came from Philadelphia to witness their marriage, left on the 6:20 train for Philadelphia. They will sail from New York on November Sth for Lon? don and will spend their honeymoon in England and on the continent, re? turning to Philadelphia in January. ^ iiii -- MARRIED. Mr. J. William Cox, of Moultrie, Ga., and Miss Marie Blanche Pate were united in marriage Wednesday evening, Rev. Pierce Kiigo orficiating* Miss Lily Hogan, youngest daugh? ter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Hogan, was happily married at the First Baptist Church Monday afternoon to Mr. Luther J. Tucker. Dr. C.

Graham and Julian Wilder preceeded to the altar the bride who entered on the arm of the groom. There were no bridesmaids or groomsmen. The bride was very sweetly attired in a traveling dress, and the groom wore a suit of black. Both of the contracting parties are well known in this city. Miss Hogan was one of Sumter's prettiest and most popular young ladies, and had many admirers and friends. During his stay in the city at the Sumter Military Academy, Mr. Tucker made numerous warm and lasting j friends. Both bride and groom being so popular, it was not surprising that j they were the recipients of quite a j collection of handsome and costly ! gifts. Prior to the wedding ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Hogan entertained at din? ner about twenty-five of the most in? timate friends of the contracting par? ties, at which time best wishes and congratulations were lavishly extend? ed. The newly married couple left on the northern train Monday after? noon for a trip to Washington and New York. They will then return to live at Wilmington, where Mr. Tucker is employed by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Arrived this afternoon at Booth Live Stock Company's stables 50 head horses an'mules-just a few nice harness horses-one nice matched carriage team. High drivers and good enough looking for anybody. A nice assortment business horses. Three matched pair Kentucky mules. Five hundred bushels h?>me raised seed oats. 117 d2t wit DEATH. Mrs. E. E. Hodges, of Tindal, died Saturday after a brief illness of three days.

The case of Estella McDaniel vs. Amanda McDaniel, which was brought to establish who is the law? ful widow of Dave McDaniel, has at last been concluded. The jury found for Am a, who was represented by Col. R. ~>. Lee. The plaintiff was rep? resented by Messrs. P. A. Wilcox, T. B. Fraser and Mark Reynolds. The verdict opens up a new chap? ter of litigation for Amanda is now in a position to sue the railroad for damages for causing the death of her husband. Monday the court was angaged in the trial of the case of Miss Ellen Powell vs. the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, an action brought for damages on account of personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff, which injuries she alleged were in? flicted by the negligent and careless conduct of the railroad in the conduct of its business. The appearances were D. D. Moise, Esq., for the plain? tiff and Mark Re3molds, Esq., for the defendant. After remaining in the jury room for six hours a verdict was rendered for the defendant. The case of Ingram vs. Moore, claim and delivery proceedings, is now being heard. Major Marion Moise was present for the plaintiff, and for the defendant, L. D. Jennings, Esq. Do You Use Your Own Judgment? vL:on Coffee is a package coffee that reaches the homes of the people jusc as it left the factory where it is roast? ed and packed. The beans are picked and carefully selected at the plantation, then ship? ped direct to our factories to be-pfe pared for home use. The most scrupulous care is taken with every precess, the utmost clean? liness enforce! ?n every operation. Men and machinery employed in making Lion Coffee ready for the market are chosen on account of their excellence and fitness for the work. Some of the results of this scrupu? lous treatment of Lion Coffee are a delicious flavor, perfect purity and a uniform strength of quality. All loose (or bulk) coffee*is open to doubt-to put it mildly. The buyer does not know, the seller does not know, where the bean came from or how it was roasted, or where and when; how many hands handled iL. what kind of hands they were, what contamination it received from dust, insect^, dirt. etc. Lion Coffee is pure, fresh and clean -that much is certain. Loose coffee -there isn't anything at all certain about it except that wise housewives will not buy it. All grocers know the abov* is true. There may be a few left who will try to persuade you another way. If they do, just ask them how they account for the increasing popularity of Lion Coffee in millions of homes for the past quarter of a cen tu ty. The gentleman who predicted in The Daiiy Item ten days ago that cot? ton would bring ll cents on Novem? ber 1st, missed the date only three days. He predicts now that by De? cember 1st that cotton will bring 12 cents on the streets of Sumter. Two cars horses and mules arrived this afternoon at Booth Live Stock Co. A few nice single harness horses, one extra nice carriage team good enough for most anybody. Choice se? lection business horses. Several pairs matched Kentucky mules-the nice kind. 117 d2twlt There ha** never besn an organiza? tion in the city that has been of such widespread and general benefit to Sum? ter than the Chamber of Commerce of t!iis city. It has siven to the town extensive advertising, and has been through its able ?Secretary E I. Rear? don, the means of bringing to Sum? ter a number of business enterprises. The. merchants of the city cannot afford to allow it to <_'o to pieces; it must be maintained for the j.'ood that it has done and lor the greater things that it is yet to accomplish, because its maintenance is essential to the prosperity of Sumter. These who are opposed to and those who fight thc Sumter Chamber of Commerce are, though, possibly without evil intent, aiming a deadly blow at tie commer? cial prosperity of our tov n. ROBERT COLCLOUGH DEAD. j He Lingered Five Weeks With Broken Back. Robert Colclough, colored, who was fatally injured by having his back broke on October 2 while trying to drive the street sprinkler from be? neath the shed under which it was kept, died Monday at 4 o'clock after five weeks of suffering1. His in? juries were known to have boen fatal from the first and that he survived so long was a surprise to all. He re? ceived every attention that could add to his comfort during his illness, the city council seeing that he wanted for nothing. He was given a decent bu? rial at the expense of the city in whose service he had been for a num? ber of years. The booze fighters, who prefer tak? ing their toddy out of a bottle labeled medicine, will regard Chief Constable Hammett's order as a hardship. They will be forced to patronize that im? moral institution the dispensary, re? sort to the blind tigers, or go thirsty.
