.Hurried at Hamilton.
At the residence of the bride's father, Mr. John
Turner, in Hamilton, yesterday morning at 7:30
o’clock. Mr. W. M. Middlebrook, of Atlanta, and
Miss Mattie Turner were united in marriage,
Ucv. Mr. McGregor performed the ceremony. Mr.
Middlebrook and bride passed through this city
yesterday en route to Atlanta. The groom is a
prosperous business man and a member of the
board of aldermen of Atlanta. The bride was
truly one of Hamilton’s noblest and most accom
plished young ladies. The happy couple begin
tbeir wedded life under the most uupicious cir
cumstances.
The Protruded Hedlinr.
The revival at Broad Street Methodist church
continues to draw large congregations. Kev.
Mr. Domingos preached a powerful sermon at
the meeting last night. Much interest was man
ifested and there were a goodly number of peni
tents around the altar. It is gratifying to the
pastor and those ministers who have assisted at
these meetings to know that much good has
been done and many a wayward one has been
shown the errors of bis life.
The usual services will be held this morning
ml to-night.
Attempted ItnruJaries.
It i* thought that burglars are still on their
midnight prowls through the city.
Tuesday night .Mr. Thacker Howard was
aroused from sleep at his residence on Fourth
avenue by parties in his yard whom he is certain
were burglars. On the same night Mr. Eugene
Lawrence is positive that some one attempted to
burglarize his premises on Eleventh street. For
tunately in both these cases the thieves were
frightened away without having committed any
depredation.
Our citizens may do well to assist the police by
loading their shotguns and keeping them handy.
Mill Try Mr. (.rimes.
The Butler Herald speaks in no uncertain tone
in reference to the congressional campaign. It
says. “It has been more than intimated to us
that Hon. Henry R. Harris will again be a candi
date for congress. We have nothing to say
against Mr. Harris; lie has made a good and
faithful congressman, and if we regarded him as
an abler man than Col. Crimes, we should say
let him be his own successor. But Col. Grimes
is a younger man than Col. llarrin, and with
equal ability; and we believe if lie shall be tin*
choice of the party, that not only his own dis
trict, hut the whole state will be proud of the
record he will make."

He asked Mr. Rowe, who is himself a poor man,
to take him in and allow him to remain a short

when he received a notice a day or two ago that
there was a valuable package at the express office

A Hlrl Who Fan Shoot.
The shooters of “The Wild West” get to
practice betimes at the fair grounds, says
the St. Louis Republican, and it was scarce
ly more than dawn one morning before
the crack of the rifie was heard in the am
phitheatre. Miss Lillian Smith was the
first to set to work. She is a young lady of
14, and can boast of a clear, clever eye,
which, no doubt, is the mainspring of her
gn at success as a gun or rifle shot. She
took to shooting when only eight years
old, mainly from lack of com
pany, and after using her
skill for larder business until it was
notorious in California, decided to turn it
to pecuniary utility. Both her record and
her daily performances prove her right to
call herself the champion. Her hither
challenged Dr. Carver last week to shoot a
match with Miss Lillian, and all arrange
ments were made for the contest to come
off in Pope’s theatre on Thursday. The
hour came, but no Carver with it, and the
young lady has every right to say that she
frightened off “the Evil Spirit of the
Plains.” Miss Smith has broken 323 glass
balls in succession with thfe rifle, and on
one occasion broke 495 out of 500.
Recently she made some wonderful
shooting, amrngher performances being
an exhibition of how to break twenty-five
glass balls in a minute, how to lire three
shots t'> miss and then break a ball in the
air. thrown before the first was fired, and
how to send pocket pieces flying into the
next county. Miss Lillian has broken ten
swinging balls in twenty seconds, and has
struck a plate thirty times in fifteen sec
onds.
