I TOWNSEND-M'GHEE. i A beautiful Marriage Wit- 1 nessed by Many Guests. v A marriage of interest in many ' sections of the State was that of j Miss Julia U. McGhce to Mr. Ben F. Townsend, which was solemnized , at the Methodist church Wednesday, June 28th at high noon by j Rev. W. A. Massabcau at Green- ] wpod. The simplicity displayed < throughout the whole occasion made | it a licautiful wedding. The only decorations in the church were ] palms, ferns and water lillies. A i pyramid of green formed a lovely j background for an arch of water ( lillies under which the bride and t groom stood. Under the arch a ] shower of lillies hung making a lovely effect, while over the arch j were suspended three white bells. The sweet strains from Ix>hengrin j heralded the approach of the party, j The first to enter the church were six ushers. Messrs. Sam McGhce, . Lindscy McNally, I. M. Hair, Har- ' ry Goss J. C. Harper and Ernest j McGhce. They were followed by | Miss Helcne McGhce, the maid of honor, who looked particularly f charming in a stylish suit of white j embroidered linen. She carried a ( bouquet of American Beauty roses. Just in advance of the bride came | little Miss Ixiuisc Hodges, who carried the ring on a white satin cushion. She was very dainty in a white chiffon dress trimmed in valcncicne lace. The bride then en- j tered on the arm of her brother, 4 Mr. Zach McGhce and was met at the altar by the groom with his best . man, Mr. Tom McNally. , The bride never looked more ( ( linrmina t.lion in Vin?- m.iiin VMM* ?W bv,".b J gown of parsifal blue rajah jclka ( with hrndsomc braid and Persian j button trimmings and hat, gloves and shoes to match. An exquisite 1 shower bouquet of white roses completed her lovely costume. , While the ceremony was being ( performed the strains of "Cavalivc Rusticana," softly played by Mr. Parker Conner lent a sweet solemn- | ity to the service and Mcndclssohns wedding march was the retiring music. Miss McGhce is a woman of at" tractive personality and many lovable traits of character. She is held in high esteem by a great circle of friends and the Greenwood circle will give her up most reluctantly. Mr. Townscnd is one of Union's Ijest and most successful young lawyers and is very popular in social circles throughout the State. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Townsend left for the mountains of Western North Carolina where they will spend several weeks. After their return they will l>c at home to their friends in Union, S. C. 4 Among the out m town guests were: Misses Eliza and Etta McGhee, of Greenville, Miss Annie Hardin, of Chcstei, Miss Eileen' Mauldin, of Ander^n. Mrs. Alice Corrie and Mr. Parker Conner, of Cokcnbury, Mr. and Mrs. Gilkerson and Miss Anna Gilkerson, of I*aurens, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, of Spartanburg, Mr. Holmes Caldcr, of Atlanta, Mr. Ernest McGhoc, of Augusta, Mrs. S. B. Town semi and Messrs Tom and Lindscy McNally, Harry Goss, I. M. Hair, of Union. Mr. and Mrs. St. Clair Ix-er entertained the bridal pridal party of the McGhce-Townsend wedding at a pretty reception last Tuesday evening. The entire lower floor was thrown open and was most effectively decorated in palms and cut (lowers. Mr. and Mrs. Lee were assisted in receiving their guest by Miss Mary MeGhce, and Misses Jule Lee, Eliza McGhee and Annie Gilkerson received in the parlor with the bridal party. Misses Harriet Hodges and Epp Blake received in the dining room. And here the pink and white color scheme was most effectively carried out. In the center of the table was a vase of pink roses and from the chandelier to the corners of the table were suspended pink and white ribbon, gracefully trimmed, with asparagus 'erns. Here a most delicious salad joursc followed by tempting ices vcro served by a bevy of young people. Misses Etta McClhce and Eanlic Aiken presided most gracefully it the table. Al?out forty enjoyed Mr. and Sirs. Lee's hospitality.?10. 11., in .Irecnwood Index. pcstivitieson the fourth low the Great Independence Day was Enjoyed by the People of Union. While the city of Union did not lave an organized observance of the I l?y. yet all of the people put on I gala apparel and proceeded to play nstead of work, for to them it was i holiday. The bright hot sun was too much for a great deal of exertion, yet the people moved about ind enjoyed themselves as they ivanted. The only real attraction for those who did not go away, was the barbecue in the graded school grove, prepared by Messrs. Lewis Smith and Dan CI all man. They set a table of well cooked mutton, hash and pork. The h o'clock train carried about two hundred people to different points on the railroad and adjoining counties, some to White Stone, Pacolet, Lockhart, Spartanburg, Tucapau and Glenn Springs, all hont on enjoying the day. The Union and Glenn Springs Railroad ran trains from Buffalo to S'eal Shoals every two and a half jours, giving everybody an opportunity to stay as short or as long as hey desired at either end of the l i ? . * oati or ai any ltermciliate points, mil every train was crowded during ho day. The members of Wallace Chapter [. O. O. F. with their families and nvited guests spent the day at Morris Mill on big Brown's Creek where i nice basket picnic was enjoyed. Many of the Union and other cotton mill population drove out in Puggics and carriages to different points on the nearby creeks and spent the day in fishing and liuntng, eating their dinner at some jold spring. The children of the Second BapList church Sunday school enjoyed i basket picnic in the c?xil, shady ijrovc near Peake's mineral spring. A select party of young ladies and gentlemen had a quiet social gatlierng and lunch at the old Dawkins spring. At IiOckliart the day was to the people of that section and the many visitors a glorious Fourth of July celebration. Barlxccue and picnics, music and dancing, orations anil leclumations were the principal fl'nturi'H of tlu> rlnv'iJ f.xtix-il i?i^ At West Springs there was u picnic and base ball game. From all we can learn the day svas delightfully spent rnd no accidents or ugly rows, all was joy and gladness. Government Report of Crop Condition Runs the Price to Teit Cents. It is doubtful if the Southern Cotton (?rowers Association bad not been so active in investigating the so called leakage and false reports of cotton acreage and cotton condition whether the last report would have been so low, showing the condition to be 77 instead of 88 and Injforc. Upon the correct report of the condition and in addition to the reduced acreage cotton buyers, speculators and spinners became alarmed and the Hulls had the satisfaction of jumping cotton up a cent a pound at a jump. The aver-, age condition of cotton on '2~>th of. June showed only .77, this }>eing the case there would absolutely be ( no possibility for cotton to improve sufficiently in the time necessary for putting on a full crop, therefore j a vei^ short crop is certain, even, IVSBSS^^!SNia?iBaSaSSSS?2SS^Pig WHEN IN DOUBT s GOME TO US. i Never take unnecessary !H chances if you do not want li to suffer a loss.
