Just here permit me in ail hon¬
to lay one flower on your chaplet
praise. My brother, suffer me to
your modest worth, your useful
your learning, true worth and
character, find only their cor¬

gold which can suitably symbolize
noble blood of the Brown family,
as that family does like the

Gold is bright and does not rust,

may I not call her your own, your
loving bride ? Gold is enduring. It
does not melt like ice nor crumble
like stone, reminding us again of your
abiding and unchanging love. When
youth, its bloom has shed, true beauty soul,
appears. “A sweet and virtous
like seasoned timber, never gives”
‘Time hut the impression deeper makes
as streams their channels deeper wear.’
Will you then please join hands as in

of wedded love, do you renew and re
affirm you vows of fidelity and affec

Heaven hear ratify vows
renewed on earth, in presence of an¬

you, and may our common Father
grant you many successive years of
peace, prosperity and happiness. May
your last days bt; your best, and as
the sun of your natural existence

illuminate the pathway of your de

Hon. John D. Stewart, our imme
representative in Congress, gave
interesting talk in Covington last
Friday. He lingered long and !ov -.
ingly on the tariff, the silver hill aud
other national questions. He
was very anxious to secure some ben
eficial legislation for the agricultural
interests of the country, but could
not go the “sub-treasury
He met with a cordial welcome here
and will probably come to see us of¬
ten before the sun goes down on elec¬
tion day next November. One thing
certain, there is going to be a lively
iuterest taken in the congressional
election in this district, and Judge
Stewart will be given a few doses of
the home-stead-on-the-office medicine
from the same spoon that he so effec¬
tually administered it to Hon. N. J.
Hammond some four years ago.
The Rockdale county alliance met
n Conyers Saturday and indorsed W.
J. Northen for governor; Col.
ingston for congress, and J. E.
nally, of Walton, for state senator,
Col. Livingston made a speech an
nouncing himself a candidate for con
gross against Judge Stewart. Col.
Peek announced himself out . of the ^
race and m favor of Livingston and
Northen. The alliance meeting was
well attended. Their action
uiiauimous.

He withdraws from the race for Gov

Peek having gracefully retired in fa¬
vor of Col. Livingston, and will do
all in his power to secure his nomina¬
tion and election.
At a conference of leading Alliance
men in Atlanta, a few days since, ail
the misunderstanding and differences
existing between some of the members
who had been pressed for office were
satisfactorily settled. Hon. Wm. J.
Northen plants himself squarely on
the Alliance platform, and thus brings
to his support an almost solid Alii
ance vote. He is a Democrat, tried
and true, and as such will ask for the
nomination at the hands of the great
Democratic party in convention as¬
sembled, which when secured, means
election sure and certain. With Col
Northen to champion the principles
aud plans so long advocated by the
Alliance through Col. Liviugston, it
was entirely unnecessary for the latter
to antagonize the former in the Gu¬
bernatorial contest, although had he
done so we are confident he would
have been the next Governor, or been
in position to name the man.

if lie failed to do this we knew Liv¬

race for Governor, as the farmers
were determinad to support no man
who did not advocate their principles
aad espouse their cause.
The troubled waters are calm ’ s ° lar
as concerns the race tor Governor,
but not so in the contest for Congress,
for in this the deck has been cleared
and everything will soon be ready for
action. The issues will be clear cut

high compliment bestowed, but de

he beseeehed his brethren to support
only true men for office. In conclu¬
sion he said: “I thank you, my
friends, whether of one county or
another, whether of one Alliance or
another, for your many kind expres¬

HEAVY RAIN STORM.

On Monday night a heavy rain vis
ited Newton county. Near Austin’s

never saw such a rain fall. Acres of
, ... the flats

dirt washed from the hill sides. Mr.
Reubin Warren thinks his oue horse
crop is damaged fully 875.00, while
others are badly injured as far up as
the old Border’s place, It seems that
the heaviest part of the rain spread
for a distance of about 0 miles, com¬
ing direct from the west. The dam¬
age was also great in Hays, Gaither’s
and Brewer’s districts. The cause of
so much damocfe to crops must liov 1
ed and in loose condition. Rain,
lightning and thunder wore also vei v
heavy here in town and elsewhere ,,i
