Simms, in His Office at the Court House—Bride's Broth- er-in-Law Tried to Stop the Mar- ^triage. * (From Thursday’s Daily.) The romantic marriage of Miss Katherine M. Fry and Mr. \V. L. Gleason at the Ordinary’s office 1.1 •the court house yesterday afternoon ■was a distinct 1 surprise to the family and friends of the contracting par ses. Cupid, the saucy little god, with and arrows Swung ov6f his jfooulder has a way >>f doing things his own sweet, high-handed man Iner, and in this case made no de parture from his usual high-wayman' ish tactics. The marriage ceremony was per formed by Ordinary A. V. Simms, In his office at 6:15 o'clock yesterday ■evening. A few minutes before that time Mr. Simms was approached by a good looking stranger who told the Ordinary that he wanted a mar riage license and requested Mr. Simms to remain in his office until he could go out and get the young lady who was to be his bride. • The news leaked out, and in a few min utes three or four gentlemen across the street, who had heard of it saun' tered over to the court house to witness the affair. Mr. Gleason re turned in a few minutes accompa nied by Miss Fry, and the Ordinary j at once began the ceremony. Some excitement was caused at j this stage by the appearance on the ! scene of Mr. L. A. Palmer, a broth' j er-in-law of the bride, who sought I to prevent the marriage. He explain- j ed to Mr. Simms that Miss Fry was i visiting his nouse and under hisj charge, and that her mother in Sa vannah knew nothing of the propos* ed marriage. He was forced to ad mit, however, that he had no legal reason for preventing it. The Ordi* nary then said the few words which united the lives of the young couple’ Jtatfr. Palmer accepted the inevitable with good grace, and was reatfcr with Jils congratulations, along with one pbr two other frdends present. \ Miss Fry who is a sister of Mrs. Jl/v A. Palmer, has been visiting the latter here for about two weeks, coining over from Thomasville, where she has recently spent some time with another sister. She came up town yesterday afternoon accompa’ nied by Mrs. Palmer, but left the latter and meeting Mr. Gleason got in a cab and hurried over to the court house. The latter had remark ed to a friend or two, that he was going to get married, but they con sidered it a Joke. Miss Fry is an unusually pretty and highly accomplished young la dy. She is a grand-daughter of the late Captain S. J. Whitesides, a wealthy and prominent citizen of the Forest City. Mr. Gleason, whose home is also in Savannah, first met his bride in this city several months ago. He is a member of a prominent Savannah family, and represents lumber firm on the road. The couple left this morning their future home in Savannah. j QUITMAN’S CITY FATHERS A Successful Administration Unani mously Indorsed.

He says that he weighed a ton or so that he bought recently and found the sacks weighed only about 165 pounds when they should weigh 200. He thinks that farmers would do well to weigh their guano and make deal ers give the amount they pretended to sell. Horse With a Mustache. The horse which pulls Mr. J. M.

If the bunch of nalr was on the horse’s underllp InriiiJ cf the over lip It would make tne aulmal look very much like a big goat. Money is Very Plentiful.
