A brilliant gathering of friends
and relatives filled the Baptist
church at Jonesville on Saturday,
June 14, at high noon to witness the
marriage of Miss Mary Southard to
Mr. S. Hadden Geer, ensign U. S. N.
Unusual interest has long been manifested
in the happy event, because
of the prominence of the family connections
of the bride and groom.
The church was artistically and
handsomely decorated with stately

presided at the organ and gave a
lovely program before the ceremony
and as the first notes of Mendelshons
Wedding March sounded the
little girls entered and drew the ribbons
which marked the seats for the
family and out-of-town guests. These
little girls were: Miss Ruth Geer,
of Belton; Miss Gladys Whitlock,
Miss Sara Scott and Miss Mary
Chambers, of Jonesville. They wore
dainty airy frocks of lace and pink
sashes. The flower girls, Misses
Annie Keller Adams, of Charleston;
Josephine Scott, of Jonesville, en

with pink ribbons. They scattered
pink and white rose .petals from

FRIEDMAN BAGS BIG FEE
FROM PATIENT IN ATLANTA
Atlanta, June 18.?While the U. S.
government was damning him with
faint praise and the city health authorities
of New York were passing
ordinances against him, Dr. F. F.
Friedmann, of turtle serum fame visited
Atlanta secretly a few days ag6

treatment to the son of a prominent
Atlanta family, receiving a large
sum of money for so doing, and leaving
Atlanta on the next train without
even the watchful eyes of the
newspaper reporters so much as
lighting on him going or coming.
The fact was not learned until today,
though Dr. Friedman was here

Chester, June 17.?As a result c
finding the pistol of John Q. Lewi
who was murdered on April 24, in tli
possession of a negro, Monk Stevei
son, it seems that Sheriff Colvin ha
secured valuable evidence as to th
perpetrators of this awful tragedy. 1
will be recalled that Mr. Lewis, wh
was an aged Confederate veterai
was called to his door and shot dow
one night when he was alone at hi
home near Cornwell. Sheriff Colvi
and detectives sent here by the gov
ernor have been working hard on thi
case. A few days ago ? pistol foun
on Stevenson wa3 positively identi
fied and Stevenson was arrested. A
a result of his arrest Stevenson ha
confessed that four negroes Meel
Griffin, Tom Griffin, Nelson Bryo ani
John (Jrosby, are the real murderers
Stevenson states that because h
was a cripple the others left him 01
the lookout while they committe<
the awful crime. A number of Stev
enson's statements as to the murde:
have been verified, which gives ere
dence to his confession. Both th<
watch and pistol of the murderet
man now have been found and th<
authorities expect in a few days U
locate the money stolen from th<
house the night of the murder.
Stevenson did not get his full share
of the booty and it is bejfeved thai
