AT HYMEN’S ALTAR.
Georgia and the Old North
State Unite,
A very beautiful marriage was that
of Mr. Frank R. Bartlett, of Greens
boro, N. C., and Miss Birdie Mae Bra
dy, of this city. At the hour of 12 m.,
on Tuesday, preceded by tbeir attend
ants, Mr. Henry Lipps, ofGreenoboro,
N. 0„ and Miss Lillie Brady, Mr. W.
D. Brady, of Atlanta, and Miss Annie
Gertrude Henry, of Newton, 8. 0., the
pair entered the handsomely decora
ted parlor, to the music of a weddii g
march rendered by Miss Nettie Ward.
The ceremony that united tbeir deati-
niej was most impreseivly performed
by Rev. Dr. Henry McDonald, pastor
of the Second Baptist church, Atlanta.
In words simple, but beautiful and
touching, he made them one, using
the ring as a symbol of their unending
union. The bride was surpassingly
lovely in white silk, with a wreath of
orange blossoms encircling her brow,
and a long bridal veil falling in grace
ful folds to the ground. In her hand
she carried a bouquet of white roses.
A pretty feature of the wedding was
the presence of a galaxy of lovelv
young ladies, classmates of the bride
at the LaGrange Female College.
They were: Misses Annie Reid, Le-
dra Edmundson, Ruth Evans, Mary
Park, Sallie Brady, Vela Winn and
Nettie Ward. M-s. Emma Owens, of
| Atlanta, her cousin, was also a guest.
It was a quiet, bur. < elightful affair,
and the few invited friends will cher
ish the recollection of the scene as one
of the most pleasant of tbeir lives. The
wedding presents,were many and cost
ly. We will publish list of them next
week.
The couple left at two o’clock for
New York, where they will visit the
bridegroom’s parents, and thence go to
Chicago, Milwaukee and Waukesha, in
which cities they will spend
several weeks, making
Greensboro, N. C., their home after
November 1st. They will find a house
ready furnished in this place for tbeir
occupancy.
The groom is an excellent gentle
man and a fine business man, being
civil engineer of the Richmond and
Danville railroad. Of the fair flower
he transplants from LaGrange, famed
for the teauty of its girls, we can only
say that kei charming personality em
bodies the highest type of physical
beauty and those graces •- f heart,
mind and manners that win and bold
the affections of her friends.
May life open to them its most en
trancing vistas.
Au luquiry.
We have just gone through a severe
panio, all interests have more or less
suffered, and the people will natural
ly ask at such times, where shall we
go this season to find a first-class
stock of goods to select our winter
wants?
Answer.
J. J. Hagedoru & Co., of West
Point, Ga„ have the best stock of
goods in this whole section. They
have taken advantage of many good
offerings in every line of goods, and
will show you that the circumstances
of a panto have bad the result of
them offering better values to you
than ever before shown. Read ail
their locals. They are facts; the wri
ter has been to see, and our word is
substantially proven to you when you
enter the establishment of
J. J. Hagedorn & Co.,
West Point, Ga,
Public School System.
Notice is hereby given that, at the
next session of the Legislature, a bill
will be introduced, entitled an act to
authorize the town of Hogansville, in
the county of Troup, to organize a
public school system, independent of
the public school system of the State
of Georgia, to provide for the main
tenance and support of the same, and
for other purposes, after having sub
mitted the same to the qualified
voters of said town.
All our offerings through local ad
vertisements are bargains bought
during the late depression.

UNHAPPY BRUNSWICK.
Request of Mayor and Council
that a Concert Be Giveu.
T-.e following named parties are
requested to arrange a program
for a concert to be given for the ben
efit of the Brunswick sufferers:
The two Female Colleges,
Mr. and Mrs, J. B. Harris,
Mias Mattie Banks,
Mrs. W. J. McClure.
We request these parties to meet as
early as possible. The entire program
and all further arrangements will bo
left in their hands. Please notify the
undersigned so that proper publica
tion may be given of the date.
Mayor and Council
of the City of LaGiange.
As to Streets aud Avenues.
The City Council, by the suggestion
of Col. J. R Broome, has named Broad
street Montgomery Avenue, and
Church street Cox Avenue. This is
well and will reoelve general commen
dation. Now, if these gentlemen will
suffer us, the Reporter, which is an
old resident, will venture another sug
gestion : Let all the eight streets that
center on the public square be called
avenues.and let those not already nam
ed for prominent citizens be so called.
For instance, Greenville street should
be called Bacon Avenue, because it
leads by the old site of ttie Southern
Female College, where that famous
teacher had his throne of power for
many years. Bacon street can be giv
en auother name. Let Vernon street
be called Ferrell Avenue, as it leads
direct to the celebrated Terraces, the
home of the venerable aud honored
pair, Judge and Mrs. B. C. Ferrell. We
think there would be a peculiar appro
priateness in this, as none have ccrj-
tributed more to extend the fame of
our city. And did the municipal fath
ers ever think that, by far, the greatest
bean that ever lived in our town has no
street or avenue named for him? We
refer to Ben Hill. Now, why may not
Main street be changed to Ben Hill Av
enue? ’Tis true he didn’t live on this
street, but the one upon which he did
live is already named, and one of our
principal thoroughfares should bear
this immortal designation. We have
a Hill street for Judge E. Y. Hill, but
Ben Hill Avenue could be easily dis
tinguished from it-rtbere would be no
confusion. And Hines street
—why not call it Colquitt Avenue?
Then we shall have Montgomery, Cox,
Ridley, Bacon, Colquitt, Ben Hill and
Bull Avenues—all perpetua-tiog hon
ored names.
These changes will serve
to individualize our oity and advertise
her as the borne of distinguished men.
It will show to the world the wealth
of our resources in Intellect and states
manship in the past.
