A Friend.
On Thursday at high noon, in
the parlors of the Southern hotel in
this city, Mr. Frank D. Sloan, of
Atlanta, was married. to Miss
Maggie G. Blount, of Vienna, by
the Rev. W. L. Walker, of Char
lotte, N. C,
The wedding scene was <1 very
pretty one, and a small number of
intimate friends and relatives of the
contracting party were, present,
Mr. Sloan is a popular, young
business man of Atlanta,and stands
very high wherever he is kriown
Mrs. Sloan is n loveable woman
possessing a grace and charm that
at once lanscinates and holdd to her
all with whom she comes in contact
She is exceedingly popular here at
her home, and to know her is to
love her for her graceful and
winning personality;
After the marriage, the * young
people took the 2:30 tram for At
lanta, their futu.re home. The'
blessings and best wishes of the
people of Vienna go with them in
their new life.
The steady growth of Vienna is
something to’be proud of. Unlike
many cities, Vienna does not take
grer.t spurts and then fall back ex
hausted and fagged out, like a man
who has overdone his strength, but
she takes it steady and easy, but she
gets there all the same. It is this
character ot a town that gets there
every time. A steitdy strong pull
does not exhaust the resources of a
town, but it husbands its strength
and stays with it and Vienna will
be a .growing town when other
that towns take it by spurts have
been long forgotten.
Congressman Lewis Feels Honored in
Representing the People of
this District.
Representative Elijah B, Lewis,
of Montezuma. Ga., district, says it
is a positive delight to represent a
people such as compose the Third
district of Georgia.
W bile there^ts quiteV ^ deal of
minor affairs to )opk after for my
people,” he says, “yet it is a lact
that we are blessed with a pro
nounced contentment in our district.
I have not the large and laborious
tasks which fall to thq lot of many
congressmen who represent districts
in which are located big cities. In
my district there are no great cities,
but we huve several, thriving and
growing cities.
“There are the trusts, of course,
which our people want to see curbed
to a great extent and I atn ready to
lilt my voice and cast my vote in
the balance against these evils of
civilization.
‘ ‘But the matter in which I ffm
most particularly interested is the
currency question. We have
enough currency afloat now* for
ordinary uses, but what we need is
an emergency safeguard. The
committee , of which I have the
honor to be a member is considering
the currency'question and it may
bring out a bill at this session so
framed us to meet the demands of
the country at large-. I hope to see
such tt bill' reported and passed at
this aes ? ]§p.”

With goodies and gifts loaded down;
His rosy old face always shining,
And never defaced by a frown.
Yes, Santa’s a jolly good fellow,
At least so the little folks think;
And were you to question the elders, -
They’d surely a^ree with a wink.
The merry old Saint is o’erflowing,
With love and a jjyearty good will; -
Each Christmas to’him it is a pleasure,
His little friends’ stockings to fill.

A. E. Causey Skips Out From Cordelu
With Several,Hundred
Dollars.
Quite a sensation was created tq
Cordele Wednesday ard Thursday
morning, when it was learned that
Mr. A. E.. Causey, who has been
with the Clegg Lumber Co.,, for
some time,had misappropriated sev
eral hundred dollars of the com
pany’s money and skipped out to
parts unknown.
'This incident was quite a sur
prise, also to Mr. Causey’s frienda
in Cordele, for they were all dum-.
founded to know thnt he had acted
as he did.
It seems that Mr. S. C. Clegg,
manager of the Clegg Lumber Co.,
had intrusted the collecting in Mr.
Causey’s hands. In this way some
shortages had been missed from
time to time, but not until Weda
ttesday did Mr. Clegg know where
nd how much of his money had
been missnppropriated. Wheri this
wits disclosed Mr. Causey skipped
out, leaving on a buggy for Rich-
wood, where he boarded a train
and the last heard from him he waft
some where above Macon. Officers
are close on his heels and it is
thought that the fugative will soon
be captured and made to answer to
the crime.—Friday’s Daily News,
Your Uncle 81 Tip was too busy with
the stenographing work of the City
court to get up his usual amount of

comings of his column.
A Bad Negro.
A negro woman named Loula Hall
was arrested yesterday afternoon by
Marshal Forehand and lodged in jaii .
for disorderly conduct arid.profanity of~
u very serious nature.
For some time post the woman haft
been employed by the family of Mr,
Henry Morgan as a cook, arid Friday
by carlessness she spilled some water
in the dining room and was reprimand
ed by Mr, Morgan, The woman ans
wered him with a vile oath in the
presence of |he ladies of the house and.
then went to iter home.
Word was sent to Marshal Forehand
and he went to her house to arrest her.
After starting to the jail the woman
became very unruly and attempted to
out the officer with a knife and.bithlnx
with her teeth. After much trouble
she was lunded in jail. She will moat
likely get a heavy sentence.

A balloon ascension and parachute
leap was made in the city Thursday
afternoon late nn*d was witnessed by
large crowd of people. The balloon
was allowed to continue in its upward
flight until it seemed not much larger
than a man and tho professor resemb
led a small black speck against the
blue sky. Waiting until he hod_gotten
over the exact spot at which he wished
to descend, the professor cut his para
chute loose from, the balloon, and op
ening out slowly and gracefully like a
huge umbrella, the parachute descend
ed majestically to earth. The ascension
was for the purpose of advertising a
show which was given at the opera
honse Thursday night. Owing to the
fact that the show had had no other
advertisement, a very slim crowd was
out to greet is. The people here are
very wary about being roped in by
snide combinations which awoop down
on Vienna occasionally, and it ia a very
difficult matter to deceive them into
turning their money loose on fake
combinations.

may succeed in interesting the ad

Talk about getting a Southern
negro to go anywhere? No street
not he. He’s going to stick right
here in the South, and continue to
live off, and steal from the whitet
people. Once in the Philippines, he
would be compelled to think unci
act for himself, and that is a task
thi Southern negro is very averse
to undertaking.
