J. <j. Hurra*, P. M. A Brilliant Wedding. y A brilliaut wedding took place in Gaffney Tuesday. The contracting parties being the handsome and popular young attorney, formerly of Union, but now of Gaffney, Col. Thos. Barthwell Butler and the beautiful and highly accomplished belle of Gaffney, Mi-s Anne Wood, daughter of Capt. A. N. Wood, one of the wealthiest and most prominent bankers of Gaffney. The occasion "" was one long to be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present. We regret that for want of space wo ) are unable to give the details We extend congratulations and wish the happy couple, so well ruited to each other, a long and happy life, full of love, happiness and prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. Butler passed through Union Tuesday evening en route for uoiumtna to participate in ine pleasures and festivities in progress in the Capital City. m . A Shooting Scrape. Arthur Willard, shot and it is thought mortally wounded Andrew Gist, colored, Tuesday. The particulars, as near as we can gather at present aro about as follows: Andrew Gist, with his mother are tenants on Mr. Willard's land and they aro cropping on shares. They had bjen gathering the corn crop Monday ) and dividing it into two piles, and Tuesday while Mr. Willard was gathc ringsome corn of his own, Andrew Gist got a wagon from Mr. Sanford Wilburn's place, where ho was going to move for the next year and went to Willard's and began hauling his share of the torn away. Mr. Willard learning of this followed tho negro and told him to take the corn back as he would not allow him to move any of it until the lien was paid and i final settlement had. Tho negro cursed and said he would show hiin whether ho would move it or not; hot words ensued, and tho negro reached his hand behind him as if going for a pistol. When ho did so Willard shot him thrpe times, onco in tho wrist. once in the hip and once in the bowels; the last shot severing the intcstirus, it is thought that tho negro cannot recover. Willard has been a "rested and put in jail pending the result of the negro's wound. A Mascott. We have .ceen and heard of masco'.ts in the shape of goats, dogs, hogs, inon1 keys. etc., but Mr. W. F. Waters, tlie : traveling salesman for the i>o;)ular Post Horn Cigar, who is traveling over this territory in company with our old friend, , that well known and popular salesman 1 Tom Lipscomb, has picked up a masI eott, who simply takes the rag off the ( bush. It is a little muscular and well formed negro of some six summers, who 1 is as bright and intelligent as many kids - twice his age. lie is some inches over f three feet tall, has a strong voice, and r. calls himself the Rev. Galloway Williams. ' lie is as full of mischief as an egg is full of meat, and he at once attracts a crowd of the small fry and many grown people i around him everywhere he stops, by his ? witty remarks. lie has a sharp and ready answer for all, and will mount a e box and preach in an earnest and mirth \ provoking manner to the crowd for half c an hour, talking hard sen^e all the time, iinil can lv> liparit Imlf a h1r?r>W y lie takes off the country negro i. preacher to perfcection. IIo is from * Spartanburg or Lauren*, and Mr. Waters and Mr. Lipscomb tako him with them 1o the best hotels, lnve dressed him up in a handsome suit and will present him with a beaver. lie s takes tip a collection on his own account occasionally and has appointed Tom his " treasurer, counting out his nickles and turning them over to the treasurer 0 'or safe keeping. The little fellow is having a picnic and is living like a tlghting cock with these gentlemen, who are n having scads of fun with him. They * tliink a lot of their mascott and he will 't fare well with them. II? is certainly a winning card. Mr. Waters says ho is it going to take him to Chicago with him. i- We predict that lie will hive more fun t with him than he wou'd enj >y at the d Paris exposition. Ie : ?~ "e Victor Bine's Loving Cup. is . ' Lieut.

Mrs. Blue received her husband's enthusiastic friends with a graeiousness ?nd suuvrty that charmed all who had an opportunity of paying their respects, and the gratified recipients of hergiacetul acknowledgements withdrew from her presence, with IKel impiv-sdons of the , fact that the winning of his amiable lfl la ide?one of the fairest products of th i )r J.<a- dof Flowers?is the worthiest, as it is thv> latest, of the gallant lieutenant's Illustrious achievements. PLANTS Natural plants perpetuated?that is tho fairest discription of them. Heat, cold, rough handling, they will stand anything, is is perfectly plain that even the'best of the imitations cannot compare with them, for theso are the real, live natural plants caught in their fullest bloom and beauty, and made immortal. It is an established and generally accepted fact that of all articles used for decorative purposes there is nothing as handsome or can add greater charm to a well furnished home than graceful drooping palms and tropical nlants. likewise for church, hotel, lodee or ball room. studio, milliuory* uud dressmaking parlor, or interior store nnd window decorations wherever it is sought to give a charming effect. But the extreme difficulty of maintaining the growing plant in the adverse atmospherio and climatic conditions common to the greater part of tho country haa been an unsolvable problem to admirers of these handsome specimens of tropical plants, the consequence being that heretofore they have been seen almost exclusively in conservatories where their true value as decorations can never bo appreciated. To cultivate these plants in their native tropical home is simply a mutter of nature, but every effort of the greatest botanical students of recent years has been exerted in the direction of devising or discovering a method whereby these delicately nurtured palms, plants, ferns and grasses could be either more hardily cultivated or treated after growth in such manner as would insure their endurance of all climatic changes without actually keeping them in hot houses. The process of treating theso plants is still a secret of the discoverer, nnd we have pleasure in showing a line of these goods in this city. Seo display at our store. Prices extremely moderate.
