A week or so ago a heavy se!, light complexioned,heavy mustached gentleman got off the Cherokee train nnd registered at rho St. James, “P. Neel, Louisville, Ky.” He immedi ately commenced an active canvass "f the city for the Hall safe company. He seemed particularly desirous of selling the county and city safes and his stay whs prolonged here to await he meetings of the city council last Monday and the Superior Court of next month. His genial social qual i ies and conversa ion evidencing a welNinformed mind, together with his handsome, imposing appearance served to make him a person of con siderable interest in the community. He spent his money freely and seem * and always alert in the interest of his house. Tuesday night there arrived •in town 9 small built, dark-complex ioned gentleman who inquired when fhe train would leave for Cedartown. He was informed not until the next day. He then asked for a convey ance to Cedartown from our livery but as the weather was stormy and threatening our livery men declined to let their teams out. He immediately registered at the St. James “Jas- E. Edwards, St. Louis,” and several minutes engaged himself in turning the leaves of the register. He went into the dining ootn for supper and took a s-eat op l a‘Site Mr. P. Neel, a conversation was immediately struck up between (he gentlemen and was continued until 12 o’clock at night in Mr. Neel’s room. At that hour Capt. Wdkerson, our marshal, was summoned to Mr. Neel’s room. There “Mr. Edwards” told him he had a prisoner and warded some assistance. “Mu Ed wards” was disrobing for bed as was Mr. Neel. “Mr. Edwards” pro duced a pair of handcuffs and put one manacle around the ankle of Mr. N< el and the other around his own, gave Capt. Wilkerson the key to the “euffV’ ami his pistol, asked the Captain to loaf around the premises until day, and as he and his prisoner, chained together, got between the clean sheets of the St. James, he wafted a sweet “good night” to the receding Captain, who, per instruc tions. kept faithful vigil, through out the remainder of the night. Of course this procedure could not he kept quiet in Cartersville and our town was greatly startled in the morning by the report that Mr. Neel, of the Hall safe company, had arrested the night before by a deiec live. Those who visited the St. James during the morning son 1 saw that the report was true and many were the attempts made to find out The particulars. Mr. Neel was very desirous that the matter should be kept quiet and nut his m st intimate acquaintances here would he disclose the cause of his arrest. Of course the shrewd detective, “Mr. Edwards,” was like a sphynx. By a simple twist of the wrist an Express reporter snatched a shun interview with “Mr. Edwards.” The story is a short one: Mr. P. Neel, was, a year and a half ago, the secretary of a building and loan association in San Antonio, Texas. His accounts fell short $15,000 His bond was $2,500, which ke forfeited and ‘kipped tne couulry. An indictment was found ana “Mr. Edwards” put on the trail. He captured his game as above related, which was a? clever and bune*3 lilce- h* any detective work coui i ie done. “Mr. E lweids” fold us he belong ed to the secret frontier department of the Adjutant gen* rais office of the state of Texan, ‘ and,” said he with a wink “if you should ever come to Texas coine to see me, iinrl call for J >no E.

CLrey VV. tbiies has g-n e b* GaiV a ii, T*xas, Where lie r .ke* a p. si ion on inr* editorial staff of the I Galveston Aetvs, A Marriage in Griffin. The reason we copy into our col umus the following account of a bril liant wedding is because the bride has by several visits to Cartersville, made many friends who will peruse ihe account with an interest that such an important event in ttu life of one so truly amiable is sure to elicit: We co >y the following from the Griffin News: The Methodist church, upon which ihe skill of the artisan has been em ployed for several weeks, was thrown open last evening for the first time since it was closed. The interior was unexpectedly beautiful, and seemed to be in fitting unison with the oc casion which it was to grace. The evergreen arch and floral ball in front of the altar indicated ihe occa sion. As the organ pealed forth the wed ding march the bridal party moved up the right,aisle iu the following or der: Ushers—J. W Little, Wm. M Mitchel, J. J. Hunt, W. J. Kincaid. ATTENDANTS. C. A. Niles, Miss Sallie Parrott. Frank Haralson, Miss Emma Johnson B R. Blakely, Miss Carrie West moreland. James S. Boyuton, Miss Annie Trammell. R. W. Trammell, Miss Pauline Johnson. Frank Holland, Miss Rosalind Trammell. The attendants took their places to 'he right and left of the altar, and were followed by Charles R John son, the groom, with Mrs. Parrott, of Cartersville, the aunt of the bride, and Col. W, T. Trammell supporting his daughter, th* bride, Miss Missie Trammell. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Kendall, who used the beautifu! service of the Episcopal church. As the minister asked “Who giv eth this woman?” Col. Trammell led the fair bride to her future hus band, the ring was placed upon her finger, and they were solmniy pr - bounced “Husband and Wife.” The ceremony was beautiful and impress ive. After the ceremony, the bridal par reversing the order in which they entered, left the church and proceed ed to the residence of the bride’s fa ther, corner Bth and Poplar streets. The bride wore a most elegant and rich white satin, with the bridal veil and looked fairer that, a picture. She bore herself with that womanly ease *nd grace which is only one of her many attractions. The bridesmaid were elegantly and exquisitely dr- s d, and were living, moving person ■fications of grace and beauty. Fair er bride attended by fairer brid—- maids has never been seen in Griffin. The presents were numerous and cosily, many of tin m exquisite in <ie oign aud richness. Their number wa in great that we fe*r to attempt an;, description of them, but th-*y iu measure, served to iudic.te the waim friendship and esteem which so of our people entertain for the happ.s ywuog couple.—These, too, were sup plemeuted by the hearty congra* mu ttons of a host of invited friends whon warm good wisnes win foil *w id* happy pair through life. The sumptuoas wedding feast wa perfect in all its details, aud hardly less eharmiug to the eye, than it wn teuipting and pleasant to the inner man. The groom is a young gentlman who stands deservedly high in our community, who has filled faithfully uud saiisfactoriaily many offices of public trust in this city, wlv.s- brb liant talents and legal ability have placed him in the first rank of the Griffin bar, and whose talents and marked intellectual force will, if we mistake not, win him a higher fame and position in the imidistant iuture. The bride is the oldest daughter of our distinguished citizen, Cos . VV. i\ Trammed. With her menial worth, her nubility of character, aud a rich fulness of womanly sweetness and grace, she is fi ted to make h m hap py, and will be a crown of joy to trim whom site has promised to obey, tserve, 1 *ve, honor and ke p, iu .sick ness and in death, and who is ,-j! dged to love, c.unfurl, honor and keep her iu sickims* and iu health. The News begs leave to tender its congratulations, and to express the wish that tliis union, *0 auspicious! y oegiu , may b** •* hap. y one, ina. ko f mr u.'- r.tie, and m< m cm a'a ily inr -ugo life, aud that their days may be long in the land. To the Public. At the late session of the Baptist Convention of the state of Georgia, the undersigned Were appointed to comajunicate in the name of that Ijody with all friends of faw and goi>d morals, in the state, in reference to a m dter of the gravest moment, and which Vitaliy affects the interests of common country. In the name of the Convention of Baptists, and in behalf f our hone s, our country and our God, we address you.

Whether reliance shall still be placed in the efficacy of moral suasion, or whether tne local option la A’ shall be made more extended in its operations, or whether the moral sens * of the good and tri.n men of the state shall find expression in more stringent legislative enactments, ate left by us as questions to lie decided by your own enlightened judgment. But we beg you, as loversoi peace, as conservators of morality, as friends of suffering humanity, to do something, and to do it promptly. May G<d di rect you in your counsels. Respectfully, W. L.
