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 (

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

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,
