MR. HARRY RHETT TO WED
MISS SARAH HARPER
The engagement of Miss Sarah
Harpei" to Mr. Harry Hhett. of New
York, formal announcement of which
was made by Mrs. William Wardlaw
at an informal blit very lovely little
afternoon affair t»f yesterday, will be
received with a isreat deal of Interest
and will be an aeeasion of the slneerest
of congratulations being extended to
Mr. Rhett, eongartulations in which
there will be mingled regretful reluc
tance at. the thought that Miss Harp
er's marriage will remove her front
Augusta.
Miss Harper Is the only child of
Mrs. Charles Harper and a grand
daughter of the late H. H. Hickman.
She splendidly embodies all that is
gracious, honorable and womanly.
Mr. Rhett, although a horn New-
Yorker. is a representative of one of
South Carolina's well-known families,
a man of social and financial promi
nence, and a man well worthy of the
superior esteem which he commands
and receives. The marriage, which
will probably occur on Easter Wed
nesday, will be a notable event, so
cially.
Invited to meet Miss Harper at
WHY?
Why do I love you? Shall I mark the
tale
Of measured graces? Shall 1 set in
scale
Your every good, to prove its weight
and worth.
And say to this, to that, my love
owes birth.
Scanning each day, with doting, miser
eyes.
The inventory of the charms I prize—
And thus with craft of cunning trades
man's art
Shrewd barter make, lest 1 might
cheat my heart?
Nay! So should Lpve, a base usurper
prove,
Whom fickle Chants- or envious Time
shall move —
A conquerer comes he, unhid, un
sought,
Naught of his store by richest reason
bought—
A crowned and sceptered monarch on |
his throne
Ne’er pleads for sovereignty awa.vs
his own—
And l>ove to love shall ever dare be
true—.
I love you, darling, because you are —
you!

AUGUSTA WOMAN
FORGING TO THE FRONT.
The Lima. Ohin, Daily News of Jan
uary 3rd says of Miss Clara Arm
strong, who, by the way, will visit
her mother here for a day and will
join her company In Macon Saturday:
There Is a gentle little lady with
warlike blood in her veins who plays
a prominent, part in "Checkers.” She
Is Miss Clare Armstrong, of Augus
ta, Ga. Her warlike blood comes
from a long line of warrior sires,
her first ancestor in this country
having fought with the Virginians
aga.'st the Indians along the St.
James. - Her great-great-grandfather
was an officer on Washington’s staff
and crossed the Delaware in the same
boat with the general. He fought
also in the war of 1812. Her grand
father fought In the Mexican war

Armstrong's warlike blood takes,
however, the form of persistency
rather than bloody battle. She be
came a member of the “Checkers"
company when the play made its first
appearance. The part she took was
small and no chance offering for nil
improvement last season her friends
were a bit discouraged whiffi she ac
cepted the same part this season. But
she said she would bide her time and
watch her chance. It came last
Tuesday evening. Miss Worthington,
who plays Sadie, was taken ill and
was compelled to undergo an opera
tion. Miss Armstrong, though not. the
regular understudy, was Rsked if she
by chance was “up” in the part. She
was. She played that night. She
scored at once. She will play it until
Miss Worthington returns and having
proved her ability to make good in
an emergency, she will be given an
opportunity to do so permanently
] when the first, worthy vacancy In the
] company occurs. •
Miss Armstrong was in a company
; managed by Manager Maxwell, of
the Faurot, four years ago and is be
ing entertained by Mrs. Maxwell, of
West Wayne street, during her stay
in the city.
