Mary Lou Slade were the figures in
the pretty tableaux and Justice
of the Peace D. R, Mann performed
the ceremony these young people had
been lovers for many moons aud the
only obstacle to a consummation of
their happiness, was the objection of
the brides parents. They at length
determined to settle the matter for
themselves and an elopement was
planned and successfully executed.
Last Sunday the lovers succeeded in
eluding the vigilence of the ‘'old
folks”, and drove from herfiiome in
Pulaski Comity at a rapid pace to
the residence of lb' Fitzgerald where
a party of friends anxiously awaitod
their arrival. No _time was l<>st in
tying the nuptial knot, after which
a sumptuous repast was served.

perous saw mill proprietor, and Ins
bride the charming daughter of a
promient farmer of Pulski County.
The Chronicle joins the numerous
friends of the groom in congratula

Astounded The Editor.
Editor 8 A Brown, ot Bennctts
villc, S. C,, was once immensely
surprised. “Through long suffer
ing from dyspepsia.” 1m writes, “my
wife was greatly run down, She
bad no strength or vigor and suffer
ed butTshc great distress from her stomach,
tried Electric Bitters which
helped her at once, and, after using
four bottlc-s she is entirely well, can
eat anything. It’s a grand topic,
and its gentle laxative qualities are
splendid for torpid liver.” For In
digestion, loss of appetite, Stomach
and liver troubles it’s a positive,
guaranteed cure. Only 50c at J L
