On-’the 12th day of July, 1877, at the resident e of the bride’s mother, by Rev. A. Clai k, Mr. Francis Trowcll and Miss Gdtids Owens, both of Wayne county, Ga. On Moud ay las* the cows was bcl lowing to a g real extent. We walked" out on the street and all that we could see to cane it. was a gcntlemnn sitting under an of. k asleep and we presume the sizs ofi h is f<>et. was the cause, for lie soon wok l i and g“t away as fast as those feet w( uld admit and the bellow ing ceased. 5Ve met a gentleman last Snnday night walkinj x as if he was in a hurryjto get to somebt >dy’s house, or was going after the doo tor for someone that was about to die and we asked: ‘Which way now, Mr.——? He turned around, scratched bit : auburn curls and said ; “I’m going a round here after tny hym book.” Wo went on to church and thought no a lore about it until we saw him come in with a young lady, that, fioru her nrq earaoco, would make two ot him. Pre 'ty good hym book, but we don’t think h a could carry it in bis left breast pocket very handy. A certain vnutig man in town lias been trying very bard, for tho past week or tw(v, to form the acquaintance of a young Is fly that has not been iu Jesup bnt n short time. He finally succeeded in gaining her acquaintance and begeed permission to call on her A few nights i afterwards, according to promise, mai lo her a call, and was high ly pleased with bis new found friend. They chattel 1 a-wny very lively for a couple of li ours, talking on “Gist one thing an’ au other’’—be speaking of her beauty men > than anything else. After they bad . c onversed for some time on everything imaginable, our young hero became drov sy, hung his head and was soon in the land of nod. The yonng lady taking notice of his silence, asked him if be fas asleep. Ho raised bis bead, wiped bis eyes and answered; “Ho mam, your beauty would keep me awake, no matter how sleepy I might get.” She-did not say anything to birn, and pretty a ion they wore both in the arms Morp’tens, They being silent for so long a time, the gentleman of the bouse walked to the door of the room in which they.were sitting and said; “It’s about time to go to bed, isn’t it ?” Our yonng hopeful thought so, and jumped up. gathi ped bis bat, got on his horse and put for heme. New look here, young folks, the next time you want to talk let us know and we’il come aronnd and keep you awake. If we can’t do so any other way, we’il bring you around ■fie Jesup S^ntikel.

Nolle, of Brunswick, is in these parts this week soliciting dental work. A meeting of tho conference will be held here next Sunday in the slotho d ist church. Bear it iu mind, slr. Allen thinks tho Sentinel dis regards him by uot publishing h.s com position. Dr, Smith don’t object to our giving him credit for being a good farmer but. be does to treating us to a water melon The demand for melons and peaches is declining iu consequence of crowding the market. Surely “Plug” must he a terrible man that so many accuses him of moon light strolls. Go for ‘ uin,.’ Plug. A. N. Smith, us usual, is exercising his industry in triniing up his shade trees, which helps tho looks of his front yard very much.

Fuller is goiug to bring charges against the town council for damages done to bis shade trees the day of the str et working by the hands. Look out Captain, the council has the same right to protect tho streets as you do your trees, and they will retaliate tn bringing charges against you for ob structing the public street. Street working last Friday and Sat urday was almost n. failure, in conse quence of dry weather and scarcity of hands. Out of one hundred and thirty - nioe summoned there was but twenty' nine present at roll-call, prepared to wrrk. The and liar bills was more free than the idea of working two days. Some of our boys that thought last week they were mon, and escorting the yonng ladies about, and very bandy iu almost ■tvery capacity of a man, was nothing but boys when they received tbeir sum raons to work.

Broke Jail- On last Tuesday evening just after we had gone to press three negroes that was confined in jail awaiting their trial before the Superior Court male their escape. It seems as though soma one had given thorn a piece of scantling through the window. Two of them that was iu a room to themselves, broke open the door to their room and went into the room that contained the negro that attempted rape at Gardi sometime ago. After they had succeiaKd in breaking him loose, they then proceeded to the stair-ease, under which they concealed themselves and awaited the arrival of tiie keeper to make good their escape. As tho jailor entered tho door and was going up tho §tairs to their cell'', they made for the door —which was left opeu —and took to the woods.
