With the approach of summer the young men of Greenwood are beginning to discuss the question of a has -ball club in the town, and the prospects of such an organization are at present very favorable. The older young men are becoming enthusiastic on the subject, and it is expected that in the near fut ure a game will be arranged between them and the youngsters, The game will he more for the purpose of ascer taining the quality of timber which maybe obtainable for building a team, than for the glory to be achieved; in fact, the possibilities are that the young sters will keep the "old uns" guessing. One thing is certain- Greenwood is a popular town, and the addition of a first-class baseball team would enhance her popularity and advertise the name. If the material is here, and coming events will determine whether or not it is, the club should be organized. The noble game is fine exercise for those who participate ami an excellent amuse meut for the onlookers. The worst difficulty to he encountered is the annual lazy spell which seems to capture those who arc capaolc of up holding the fame of the city on the dia inond. If this can be overcome, and a system of practicing inaugurated we may have a club which will prevent the name of onr waterproof city from being sneered at by the baseball fraternity.

At the Presbyterian church, in the presence of a vast company of friends and relative«, Mr. \V. C Peel and Miss Pinkie Howell were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony last Tuesday night. For some time Greenwood society had been looking forward to the event, in the expectation of something ont of the ordinary, and the result was more than satisfactory. The bride is one of the most popular belles of Greenwood so ciety, and the groom is a young man respected ami admires! by all. No effort had been spared to make the event a successful and notable one. The decorations in the church were bcanti ful, and the auditorium presented a gay appearance, thronged as it was with gayly ! «decked ladies and children. Messrs. Jno. Crenshaw and Lester Barr, who acted as ushers, did yeoman serv ice in endeavoring to seat the large crowd, but despite their efforts stand ing room was at a premium. As Miss Flora Reiman played the opening strains of the wedding march, a hush came over the assemblage. With stately tread the wedding party moved slowly up the aisles, the handsome cos tomes of the ladies of the party outri valing the floral decorations in beauty. The solemn and impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. F H. Maddox, and after the happy couple had been pronounced man nnd wife, the entire party were driven to the residence of Mrs. Robt. Lockett, where a reception followed by an elaborate banquet, was held, the bride and groom receiving the congratulations of their many friends. Until 12 o'clock the party was enter tained in regal manner, and many ex cellent musical selections were rendered by the talented members of the compa ny. The presents were numerous and costly, and demonstrated the affection in which the couple are held. Mr. Peel was escorted to the altar by Mr. Joe Jesty, and Miss Howell leaned upon the arm of Miss Addie Pmitt, of Houston, Miss., who was maid of honor. The balance of the bridal cortege was composed of Messrs. G. Locke Arnold. J. W. Quinn, W. S. Cunningham, A. M. Payne; Misses Addyo Pillow, Halbe El lington, Mabel Boyd, Florae Chapman. The costumes of I he ladies were elegant beyond description. The hats were masterpieces of the milliner's art. The bride was attired in a handsome bro caded silk tastily trimmed with velvet and lace. Miss Pillow wrs gowned in a beautiful Persian silk, trimmod with chiffon, lace and riblion; Miss Ellington wore a changeable taffeta, with chiffon, lace and ribbon; Miss Boyd was beauti fully attired in a Havana brown Vene tian cloth gown trimmed with cream embroidered chiffon and velvet; Miss Chapman shone resplendent in a silk warp Barege, chiffon and passementre trimming. The costume worn by Miss Pruitt was of handsome grey novelty goods trimmed with blue silk and rib bon. Miss Flora Reiman was attired in an especially becoming organdie. To state the general impression of those present in a few words; it was a grand success and the event of the sea son. The Commonwealth unites with all in wishing the happy couple a long life of prosperity and happiness. Mr. nnd Mrs. Peel will he at home for the present at the residence of Mr. and Lnekett. Mrs. Lnekett. Beloved Woman (tone, With the ushering in of the dawn in Greenwood last Tuesday morning, one of tho purest and truest souls that ever inhabited a human body, loft its clay tenement and winged its flight to the side of the great Creator, After a painful illness of over eight weeks du ration. Mrs. J. 8. McDonald passed from this earth. Her death was doubt less a happy release from a long period of patient suffering, but the many lov ing friends who now mourn the loss of so pure a character, can not understand why this, the fairest flower, should be plucked from our midst. The remains were taken to Greenville Tuesday even ing for interment. Mrs. McDonald was the exemplifica tion of purity and truth. Endowed with great beauty and in a position to lead in society, she invariably advocated the principles of the golden rule. To use the expression of one who knew her well, "she would speak well of one or not at all." When the fact of her illness became known in Greenville the news cast a gloom over all who knew her and among whom she had spent her youth fnl days. To those who were so fortu nate as to know her she was a friend, and a true friend. Her accomplish ments were many, and in religions cir cles she was noted for her good works. At the time of her death Mrs. McDonald was little over 35 years of age. Glory ing as she did in Christian work and with her charming disposition, her death at so early an age nipped in the bttd a cureer of usefulness, of inestima ble extent. Her death was a sail blow to all; her ftiends and her relative«, from the humblest to the highest. When known in Greenville as Miss Lulu Penny, she won the heart of Mr. J. 8. McDonald, and they became man and wife while the lady was but little over 17 years of age, They moved to Greenwood shortly after this event. Her married life was a happy one, and the sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved husband. The relatione be tween Mrs, McDonald and her mother, Mrs. A. C. Penny, were of the most af fectionate nature, and the latter alone can appreciate the great loss which she has sustained. Reduced Raton 10 Bodikcn Baptist Cos* VORthOR.

Interesting and Instructive Sermons De livered A new departure was made in two of the Greenwood churches last Sunday At the Methodic church a song service was held, and at the Presbyterian chti'ch a male quartette rendered a selection in an evcellent manner.

Maddox preached a forci ble and eloquent sermon Sunday morn ing, hits text being taken from Timothy II, 1st chapter, Kith verse: "The Lord give mercy to the honse of Onesiphor ons; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains. " From this text Mr. Maddox drew an excellent ex ample of the influence exerted upon great men by the "power behind the throne. " He averred that Onesiphorons was one of the world s secret heroes: whom Individuality Paul had ab sorbed and to whom he owed considera ble of success. During his remarks the speaker refeiod to the great men of modem lime», who are known to have attained success principally through the efforts and advice of one or more of those "secret heroes. " He claimed that the public heroes are made up of thous anda of private oneH. Mr Maddox also refered as an illustration to his argil ment to the inauguration ceremonies of McKinley, where the mother of the president, his adviser and counselor, stood at his side.
