ANOTHER HOME.
For several days contractor D. F.
Bennett, with a force of mechanics,
has been busy Coi. bnilding a dwelling on
the lot of W. U. Stone on Rail¬
road Avenue. A stroll up that way
Thursday evening discovered, to us,
that considerable progress had been
made in its construction, sufficient to
give one a fair conception of what the
building will be when completed.
It contains seven spacious rooms,
constructed with a special view to
comfort, besides elegant hall-ways on
both the first and second lioors. In
planning the building the architect
had an eye to the beauty and attract¬
iveness as well as comfort of the
same, and when it shall have been
completed these objects will have
been attained. Indeed, Col, Stone
mav be congratulated the in advance on
having one of prettiest homes
ever built in Forsyth.
Such homes are valuable acquisi¬
tions to our city. Aud what earthly
possession is more desirable than a
pretty, comfortable home?
AN ACTIVE WEEK.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather that prevailed there in the early
part of the week, yet was con
siderable activity among ail of our
business men during the week. A
large amount of cotton was brought
to market and sold; a good many
debts were paid; a fair amount of
money was circulating among the
people, and our merchants had a
pretty lively time waiting on custo
mers, selling goods, etc., and things
in general looked as if the failure of
our congressmen to legislate was not
bearing specially heavy upon the
tenanees.
Xotwithstanping our farmers are
selling g, their cotton for much less
than e v ought to receive for it, yet
they were cheerful, diligent aud hope
ful: with some few exceptions, who
seem disposed to look ou the dark
sM e. A few- such aetive vveeks as
rast week "ill gi e a more heatn
ful tone to things generally.

We refer to the property of the late
Cyrus Sharp, Sr.
The home place of two hundred
acres, which is partly within and
borders on the city limits, has been
divided into nine parcels, so as to
suit all classes of purchasers, the di¬
visions being made with a view to
the building of homes thereon, for
which each division is admirably
suited. The house division is a most
excellent property, having upon it
one of the most desirable homes in
the city. The divisions contagious
to it have on them fine building sites.
The larger divisions are admirably
suited for small farms, comprising
28, 29, 34, 48 and 49 acres respectively,
on each of which are nice lots for
building a home, most of which divis¬
ions are in original woods with run¬
ning water on them. valuable
These lands are very for
the timber on them in such close
proximity to the city, as well as for
their fertility and productiveness.
The lands near Smarr’s Station, be¬
longing to said estate and to be sold
at the same time, are very valuable
and quite desirable for farming pur¬
poses. They embrace about t-vo hun¬
dred and eighty acres, most of which
is in original woods and well tim¬
bered, and the balance in second
growth pines. Persons wishing to
invest in good property will do well
to examine these lands.

No event in all the social history of
Forsyth and has been so much talked
abont, been the cause of such uni¬
versal interest, as the announcement of
the engagement of Mr. Chas. S. Johnson,
of Atlanta, to Miss Maude Hammond,
of Wednesday this place, and which culminated on
beautiful evening wedding last in one of the
most services ever
witnessed in our city.
The ceremony was performed at 8:30
o’clock, at the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in the presence of a large and
fashionable audience. The building had
been beautifully and appropriately deco¬
rated by friends of the bride, and the
great interest manifested by our people
in this event, so important to one of our
most cultured and best beloved daugh¬
ters, for all her life, and to our people, be¬
cause it takes her from them, had filled
the spacious church to overflowing long
before the hour appointed for the ser¬
vice.
It would have been easily made known
to any stranger, sitting in that large au¬
dience, in what splendid esteem the fan
young bride was held by those among
whom she was best known; for praise,
compliment and expression of good
wishes combined, to make the twitter
that unceasingly swept the assem
bly, until Mendleshon’s {wedding march
proclaimed the beginning of the happy
event.
Rev. J. B. Holland, an uncle of the
bride, officiated in a graceful and im¬
pressive manner, and performed one of
the most attractive and happily executed
ceremonies cvp- witnessed here.
Prof. W. M. Fillebrowi*-, instructor in
music at Monroe Female College, fur¬
nished the music for this wedding hour,
and while he is, on all occasions and un¬
der all circumstances, master of the
keys, he seemed to have caught some ex¬
quisite inspiration for this occasion, so
fraught with beauty and present prom¬
ise of future happiness.
Miss Mary Leo Felder, of Cutlibert, a
young and lady of most attractive presence

The bridesmaids, whose names are
given below, and who seemingly might
have been selected with an eye to indi¬
vidual beauty, and an attendance of col¬
lected beauties, were charmingly attired
in white mulle, the blonds wearing trim¬
mings of pink and the brunettes wearing
trimmings of green.
The bridegrooms were in full evening
dress, and displayed in every act, that
culture, refinement and grace that comes
fvom contact with our splendid Southern
society.
A full list of the attendants is as fol¬

Some days ago Ike Jackson, a ne¬
gro, while in Vienna, Body county,
burglarized the home of Mr. G, R.
Matthews, of that city, and took there¬
from twenty-three dollars in cash, a
pistol, chain, a lady’s gold watch, a gold
a necklace worth twenty-live
dollars, and other articles. He also
burglarized the store of one Mr. Ham¬
ilton, and took therefrom three or
four suits of clothes.
Our wide-awake coroner, Mr. It. S.
Britt, getting information of this
burglary, went to work to ascertain
the whereabouts of the burglar. Find¬
ing the trail of the thief, Mr. Britt
followed it up to the home of Isaiah
Jackson, father of Ike, near High
Falls, in this county. Mr. Britt ar¬
rested Ike on Wednesday last, and
finding a part of the stolen goods in
possession of Isaiah Jackson, the
father, and of Ed Jackson, brother of
Ike, arrested them also and brought
the party to this city. Mr. Britt re¬
covered the goods stolen except the
pistol and the watch.
When arraigned before the Justice
the three negroes were committed to
jail; whereupon Isaiah Jackson gave
bond for $150 and returned to his
home.
Thursday morning Mr. G. R. Math¬
ews, the party robed, was in the city
to take the thief back to Viena,
where the theft was committed.
Coroner Britt is quite an adept in
lators trailing and apprehending the vio¬
of the criminal law.
ENTERTAINMENT CO it If It l)NN%
WICK’S SUVFKRERS.
The entertainment at Monroe Fe¬
male College Friday night, for the
benefit of the Brunswick sufferers,
was quite a nice affair.
An intertaining grogram, consist¬
ing of instrumental and vocal music,
recitations and tableaux, had been
arranged well for the occasion and was
executed.
The recitations and songs were
specially entertaining and enjoyable.
The program exercises completed,
the next thing in order was the ice¬
cream well festival, which was also fairly
patronized.
When the cash receipts were footed
up it was found that a snug sum had
been realized, which was promptly
forwarded to the proper authorities
controlling the relief fund for the yel¬
low fever sufferers at Brunswick.
