Jones-Sammons
Mr. John H. Sammons and Miss Lula Jones were married Wednesday night at 8:30 o’clock at the residence of the bride’s father, 700 Blanding street, It was a quiet home marriage with no one present except the intimate friends of the two young persons. Mr. Sammons is a member of the mail carrier force and while going his rounds delivering the mail, has won the esteem of nearly every one on his route. He will remain in Columbia and continue to go his rounds, but if he is a little more impatient of delays than formerly , he will be readily excused. The bride is the daughter of Mr. J. R. Jones, the Arsenal Hill merchant.

Cheraw S. C., Oct. 19 – After the storm and heavy rains, we are having delightful weather in which to gather the cotton and hay crop. While the farmers who had corn on the river bottoms will be heavy losers by the recent freshet, still a considerable amount of corn was not damaged. Marriages have been quite frequent in this vicinity of late, the hard times seeming to make very little difference in the effectiveness of Cupid’s arrows.
On the 4th, Miss Carrie Powe of Cheraw was married at the residence of her father, Mr. John H. Powe, to Mr. R. H. Bigham of Effingham, Florence county, the Rev. L. M. Rice of the Baptist church performing the ceremony.
On the 10th, Dr. D. M. Price of Cheraw was married to Miss Irene Burwell Marshall, near Lynchburg, Va. Soon after the ceremony, Dr. and Mrs. Price left for Cheraw, where Dr. Price has recently, moved from Laurinburg, N. C.
On the night of the 15th, the Rev. L. M. Rice, pastor of the Cheraw and Chesterfield Baptist churches, was married by the Rev. Phillip Murray of Gibson’s station, to Miss Minnie Mulloy of Chesterfield. The bride and groom came down the Cheraw this morning where they will take up their residence in the Baptist parsonage. Mr. Price was formerly secretary, I believe, of the Y.M.C.A. in Charleston and his bride is a graduate of the Confederate Home in the same city. Mrs. Blackwell of Charleston was on of the guests at the wedding reception.
The last which I have to chronicle was a runaway match. Mr. Clarence Medlin and Miss Gertrude Perkins of Cheraw left town last night about dark and went to the residence of the Rev. N. L. Swett, in Marlboro, about four miles from town and were married . Some of the family, I Learn, opposed the match, but when two people make up their minds to get married their friends and relatives might just as well stand aside and allow them to go their own way.
