Her brother W. H. Stearns, form

A Spartanburg special to the
Charleston News and Courier,
May 9. says Otto Oppelt, of
Lynn, N. C. and Miss Olive Pack
a handsome young woman of this
city, were married to-day in the
office of Dr. S. S. Daniel, a den
tist of this city, who demonstrat
ed that he knew how to pull off
love affairs to successful termi
nation as well as pull out teeth.
The wedding took place under
trying and exciting circumstan
ces. The race between the young
couple to get married and the
bride's brother to stop the cere
mony was won by the lovers in
cui cvcuasu uiusii. xt nau uetiii
arranged for Mr. Oppelt and Miss
Pack to be married in the dental
office. The Rev. D. W. Keller
was on hand when they arrived,
and just as he was about to be
gin the ceremony the brother of
the bride rushed in and sought to
stop the wedding. Dr. Daniel
invited him into an adjoining
room, and while talking with the
irate brother trying to smooth
matters over Mr, Oppelt and Miss
Pack were being married in an
other room.
Mr, Oppelt is in charge of the

An Able Sermon.
Last Sunday, the following
were candidates for Baptism and
were Baptised at the Columbus
Baptist Church:
Misses Nellie Smith, Ola Walk
er, May Mills, and Messrs John
Smith, and Herman Walker. Mrs.
Walker Arledge, and Mr. Wash
ington Hill, joined by letter.
After the Baptising, Pastor
Jones preached a most able ser
mon; portraying in his eloquent
manner, the life and trials of
Joseph. He showed clearly the
greatness, of the Almighty and
the dependences of the finite
man, using Joseph's story as his
theme.
This was masterly interwoven
making one of Mr. Jones strongest
sermons. One of the largest
audiences that have attended
this year, heard Rev. Jones.

heard before Judge Justice at
Rutherforpton last week, Judge
Jnstice dissolved the restrained

In the case, G. Browning got
an option about 8 or 9 months

ed in the Register's office. J. B
Turner gave Lee an option on the
same land, claiming that the op
tion given to Browning was for

Lee, this last court; it was then
taken before Judge Justice.

the Lees.

er of the land, has the right to
sell this properity to Lee and
make a deed for same.
