Thanksgiving Day, despite the incleinncy
of the weather, was celebrated by
ur people So various pleasant ways,
'here were no Services in any of the
Lurches. v
The farmers are HbQut through gatherig
the crops, and they are now sowing
uts much more extensively than for scvral
years past. They agree unaniuiousf
that the? can not make cotton for five
ents, and most probably the acreage
rill be materially decreased another year.
Our merchants, however, are exhaustig
their huge stocks of goods bought in
re early season, and the drummers are
ien on our streets almost daily.
On last Wednesday evening the 24th,
lias Belle, second daughter of Mr. T.
!. Brown, and Mr. A. A. Davis, of Roaoke,
Ya., were united in marriugo by
ev. A. A. James. Immediately after
le ceremony the guests repaired to the
Ining room where*an elegant repast was
ijoyed. On tlio following day Mr. and
Ire. Davis left for Charleston wlicre
ley will spend their honeymoon, after
hich they will go to Roanoke.
Miss Sallie Brown, who is attending
iliool at Rock Hill, ran over home to be
resent at her sister's marriage.
