Father Ford officiating. The newly wedded couple left on the I. 5d train for a trip and will re? turn to the city soon, which they will make their future home. On the evening of Wednesday, the lid of October, was celebrated the holy union of one of Sumter's fair daughters. Miss Marls Molse, with Paul Antony DeLeon, of Berkeley. Cel. The wedding guests assembled at the home of the bride's parents and at I o'clock a hush of expectancy fell upon them aa the orchestra start? ed the sweet strains of ths Wedding March and ths bridal procession ap? peared at the head of ths stairs load? ing down Into the hall. First came the maid of honor and the only attendant of tho bride. Miss Roots Mosas, attired In a gown of white nst bad lacs over silk. She proceeded to the spacious parlor and was there joined by the groom on the arm of the beat man. Mr. L. Clifton Molse. Last, on her father's arm, cams tho bride, lovely and stalely, her arms ladea with great white rosso, emblematic of her own purity and sweetness. She took her place beside the groom and Judge R. O. Purdy pei for mod the sacred ceremony which made them man and wife. Tho bride wore a beautiful soft gown of white lingerie, made in the princess style, trimmed In lace and batiste smbroidery. The trimming* were put on In long lines from the shoulder to the hem of the skirt re? vealing a figure rounded and beauti? ful In ovary outline. Her head was crowned In awoet white blossoms from which fell a veil of tulle, tinged with tho hue of many years; for It was tho same worn by the bride's mother on her wedding day. The room In which the ceremony took place was green with vines and plants, and in'the deep bay window itood great gates thrown wide apart beneath a green arch, the entrance to tho Garden of Love. The gates and arch were covered with smllax and looped With pink ribbon*, and upon the entrance of the bridal party the whole thing, as if by s<->me magic hand, flashed into one blaxe of pink lights, casting a rosy glow from be? neath the green leaves, The lovers stood thus at the lighted gatea of the rjarden of Love to be united. The hall and stairway were also beautifully decorated with ferns, smllax and fir trees and after the cer? emony the guests were Invited into the dining room to enjoy the elegant refreshments. The table was adorn? ed with pink ribbons and candelabra and over the centre, upheld by a white dove, hung a horn of plenty, overflowing Its fragrant burden of flowers upon the tr.ble. Punch was' served In a green bower by one of the young gutsts and the whole scene was one of brilliant beauty. The lucky couple received a great number of exceedingly handsome gifts, the most desirable of sll gifts being th? love and goodwill of all that knew them. Shortly after the ceremony the bride changed her costume for a handsome traveling dress and the happy couple left for the train amid the smiles and thears of many frlenda. This Is fair week and many people will go over to the capital city from Sumter to take In the sights and the crowd and get taken In, also. If a man wants a light to give him light does he put It under some clos? ed object?. No. Then why should the business man hide his business by not advertising? Tho progressive man advertises. Although there was the usual large crowd in th?? city on Saturday, tture was no disorder. The colored show on South Main street attracted a large crowd on Saturday night, but everything passed off very' orderly there. Slnee the Court House Is no longer In the renter of tho business district, the large number of court attendants nre no longer seen on thv streets.

Hot lent an will, no doubt, be large!! attended by the ladlOS of the city and will be pro dUCtlVS Of much benefit The baseball association netted a very neat sum out of the carnival at? tractions last week. Work Is progressing satisfactorily on the new school building on Cul houn street, and this building will be one of the handsomest in the city. The general sessions court last week cleared out the county jail con? siderably, and there is now room for more boarders at that poplar (?) In? stitution. While Dr. J. A. Mood was running his automobile Friday, from some cause, It ran against a tree and smashed a lamp and several springs. The damage was not very great and no one was injured, but the machine was temporarily pat out of business. The sales at the whiskey dispensary on Saturday were in the neighborhood of $1,260. This was somewhat less than the amount for the two previous Saturdays. Why there should be a da crease in the sales when there was a large crowd In the city, cannot ba explained. However, the sales were good enough. The Royal Arch Masons enjoyed their masting very much Friday night. Six candidates were given the Royal Arch degree. After the ceremonial session, the chicken stew was very much enjoyed. The presence of a number of visiting companions added .greatly to the -pleasure of the even? ing.

Murray. 10-23-w?t-I2t ?A negro was arrested this morning for stealing brass from the machine ?hop of the Northwestern Railroad. Ha haS appropriated among other things a valuable Injector and a ratch? et. It was said that he took about $71 worth of brass. The idea in steal lag this stuff was presumably to sell It at a junk yard. The negro should have known that an attempt to sell such useful articles would eventually lead to his arrest for these articles were far from being "junk." He was bound over to the higher court by Recorder Hurst. It is said that the farmers are be? ginning to store their cotton right along since the recent slump In the market. "The cause for this decline la du* partiuiu to the unsettled state ol th?- financial centra in Naiv York city." said a prominent buyer tbi* I morning. "If the market had open- j ?'<! at ? ?jfht or nlno cents and then gone up to thirteen before declining, the present decline would have not been felt so heavily by the planters, but when the market opens high, as It did this season, and then declines, It causes a general state of dissatis? faction among the farmers, although the present price is a very good price," said the same buyer.

There are times whence little fellows may go romping about in their re feet, in fact it is aaid to be healthy for them to do so, but when Jack rost begins to nibble their toes, they will sing Good-Bye, Mr. Barefoot, I Hate to See You Go. To a man of family the shoe bill is a very expensive item, he wooden how they kick them out so quickly, but he forgets what a kicker he waa himself when he was little.
