(SPECIAL TO THS CITIZEN.)
Staunton, Va., D?c. 1st
The first Presbyterian Church
was the scene to-night at half-past
eight o'clock of a beautiful and im
pressive ceremony witnessed by the
largest and most fashionable "audi
ei.c which ver assembled in the
city o:i a iiko occasion. It was the

late Ciuirles iltid, of New York, and
stey-dsnghter of Ot-n. John E;'hols,
vice-President of the Newport News
& Mississippi Valley Railroad.
Tho groomsmen first entered the
church, then the bridesmaids, who
passed down the aisle as the organ
ist, Prof. Harcer, rendered Mendels
sohn's Wedding March; and then
came the bride leaning on the arm
of he? s.rother, Mr. Fergus Reid, of
Norfolk, Va. These were met at the
alter tr the groom and his best
man, Mr. George Pryan, of Rich
mond, Va., brother of the groom.
Rev. D. K. McFarUnd, D. D , pastor
of too First Presbyterian Church of
this city performed the ceremony in
a beautiful and impressive manner.
The bride was given away by her
brother, Mr. Fergus Reid. Wag
ner's Wedding March was rendered

trees and festoons of English ivy.
The bride wore :t dress ol hea7y
white satin, trimmed with point

Take Care Boys,
Christmas is coming, and fire
crackers and other noisy explosives
are already fascinating the boys.
There is ahvaya a spice of danger
as well as fun in their use; and
never a Christmas season passes
away -without the record of some
scorched face, some burned lingers,
or some injured eye; and sometinns

noro nerious results of ignited
houses, runaway

teams, and injury
We make the first record. A few
days ago Master W. B. Creasmau,
son of Mr. M. A. Creasman, trying
to light th; fuse of :t cracker by
holding a coal in his fingers and
blowing upon it to raise the dying
spark, had one of hise.vs seriously,
perhaps permanently hurt, by the
unexpected "popping" of the noisy
toy.

FRI DA? MORNING,
Serious RnooTiNe Affair.
! Wednesday afternoon an alterca
j tion occurred between two carpen-
ters, Messrs. Jas. Creasman and
William Scott, engaged in the con
struction of ;i 1 ouso in South Ashe
ville, ending in the drawing of pis
tols, as we are informed, by both of
the parties. The result was that
Scott was shot in the right arm ann
leg, the latter being broken. Creas
iLian has not "been arrested at our
lates' informations, though a war
rant for his arrest was issued soon
after the transaction.
A Change .Suggested.
The custom has becjuie estab
lished here, a in ail cities, making
tho first day- of the month a collec
tion u:ty for toe previs month's
trari'SJ ct -.i.-r;.-. ! .: :i c-rtaio extent it
id ?. l;?o pay day. Now it occurs to
us, speaking ;rom our own stand
p"iut, by having collections and
payments made the same day cre-atef-
a clash, as ii were. qu;te as
damaging to the- creditor as the
debtor. We would, for the benefit
of our creditors, like to have a
ohange and think wc can n.ake a
good suggestion. It is this : Let
every person w ho owes the Citizen
call and settle the last day ot each
month, and kt all whom we owe
call on us promptly the first ilay.
Of course we do not want it undei
stood that we insist on' the latter
;ireH'itaUon unless the first part of
the programme Lo observed. It is
really cmbarrassiug to be out all of
the first day hunting around for
EOiut. one to pay us, and have our
numerous creditors call and find us
from home. We really like to be
alwa-s "at home'' to our friends,
specially those who are kmtt enough
lo put their tru&t in us. if those
we place a similar trust in will
come to us on the last day of each
month t'.nd settle ;;;., it will afford
us an opportunity lo hoid two recep
