been consid-
The marriage of Mr. Basil
Manly Stallworth of New Holland,
and Miss Florence Griffith of Gaf-
fny. S. C., was solemnized August
25th. at Gaffny, and Mr. and Mrs.
Stallworth are now at home to
their friends at New Holland. The
marriage was a very pretty one,
and was witnessed by a number of
friends of the contracting parties.
Dr. J. H. Downey and Mr. H. S.
Thompson accompanied the groom
to Gaffny and witnessed the mar
riage.
The Cherokee News of Gaffny,
has the following account of the
wedding:
“One of the happiest events of
this week was the early morning
marriage last Wednesday of Miss
Florence Griffith, daughter of
Prof. Griffith of Limestone Col
lege, and Mr. B. M. Stallworth,
of Gainesville, Ga. The marriage
took place at the home of Prof.
Griffith at 10 o’clock and the bri
dal party left on the vestibule at
11 o’clock for Gainesville. The
marriage was a quite home affair,
only about twenty friends being
present.
The bride is one of Gaffny *s
most popular and taleuted daugh
ters, while Mr. Stallworth is a
prominent cotton man in Gaines
ville. They have the be9t wishes
of a host of friends for a happy
and prosperous life.”
The News esteems Mr. Stall-
worth very highly as a gentleman
and a business man of great worth.
The only fault it has ever found
in him is that he kept the matter
of his marriage to himself and
lis friends so closely that this
paper was kept from felicitating
him earlier upon the happy event
in his life. Mrs. Stallworth is a
woman of pure and lofty charac
ter. high ideals and many personal
charms. During her visits to her
sister, Mrs. V. M. Montgomery,
who resided here for two years,

Tne Pacolet Manufacturing Co.
shut down last Saturday night
until next Monday in order to
overhaul some of the machinery
and give the operatives a chance
to take a little vacation, this being
the first time since the mill start
ed that it has closed down ot it’s
own accord. Next Monday, how
ever, the mill will start up again.

that this is the first new mill
that ever run this long
without having to shut down to
repair machinery. The mill is
now running near to it’s capacity,
and is turning out great Quanti
ties of manufactured products.
There is getting to be a lot of
red tape about all the big daily

colored supplement. Looks, of
course, have a good deal to do
with things.—Wiregrass Blade.
