Sweet Wedding Chimes
It is seldom a more pleasing scene
is presented than \vas witnessed at the
Episcopal church on last evening,
when a large party of friends and
relatives attended the marriage of
Mr. Hansell Merrill and Miss Blanche
Tarwater. The bridal party, consist
ing of the bride and groom and
oight. lender little maidens, arrived
promptly at 5 o’clock. They were
met nt their carriages by the ushers,
Messrs. Louis Jergcr, B. F. Hawkins,
A. Riley and J. Curtright. To the
inspiring music of Lohengrin’s march,
the procession advanced toward the
altar, When the couple stood be
fore the minister the music changed
to the low sweet tones of Traumerei,
and tho beautiful marriage service of
the Episcopal church began. The
contracting parties having assented
their readiness to plight their troth
to each other, the minister led them
to the altar rail—here under a beau-
tiful “Wish Bone” of white rose buds
and dahlia’s, their solemn vows were
taken, hands were joined dnd, the
benediction was pronounced on the
kneeling man and wife. The minister
then assisted them to rise and spoke
a few words of kindly wishes, and tho
brief ciren.ony was over. The low
music swelled out in livelier strains,
to Mendelssohn march, and the happy
party left the ehurch, returning to the
Gulf House, where their ndieux were
quickly made.
The bride and groom left on the
7 p. rn. train for McMinnville, Teun
At “Riverclifl,” the home of the
bride’s grandmother, Mrs. Geo T.
Lewis, a reception will be given the
newly married couple among many
relatives and friends. Alter a short
stay in Tennesseo they will go to
Louisville, Kv.,to visit the bride’s
former Home..-They will return tu
Thomnsvillo ou the 29 inst. aud take
possession of tbeir pretty homo on
Dawson strei t.
The bride was in simple but elegant
attire of white crepe with white ostrich
feather trimmings, Marguerite cos
tume, uo ornaments save the lovely
blushes of n modest maiden. She car
ried in her hand, instead of the con
ventional bouquet, a handsome white
kid bound prayer book from which
tho marriage service was read. The
wedding ring of tho parents was used
on this occasion. The bridesmaids
were all of tender years, and in their
quaint little Josephine costumes, and
faces beaming with happiness, present
ed a lovely picture. It was a delight
ful surprise to them when each receiv
ed a beautiful gold ring ornamented
with a Wish Bone and Forget-me-
not) gifts from (lip bride as mementoes
of the occasion. In their hands they
carried bouquets of chyrsanthemums,
those of tbs first couple, Daisy ,Scott
und Marion Hayes, wero yellow; the
next,[Rena Brandon and Vira Patten,
bore white flowers j tho third couple,
Ethel Cassels aud Anua I’atteu, had
yellow, and the last little tuts, Julie
Wright and Annie LaRoche, just pre
ceding tho bjrido, carried white.
The music was charmingly render
ed by Prof. Lynch. The church was
tastefully dressed by the bride’s
friends, and several hundred candles
lit up the building with beautiful ef
fect. Tho wide center aisle and raised
change) pro admirably adapted to such
an occasion.
The fine corps ot Thomasville
Guards in uniform, attended in a body
in honor of the bride, who is the spon
sor of tho company.
The bride’s presents were numerous
and elegant, and shows how greatly
she is beloved wherever she is known.
May a kind Providence brighten the
path whieb these two will walk to
gether, and give them the happiness
of plucking many beautiful flowers by
the wny.

Thomas County Stock Breeders
The exhibition of stock yesterday
was in every way creditable to the
farmers of Thomas county. The
large number of colts shown is an evi
dence that our people are, at last, de
termined to raise their own stock.
The many mule colts was a noticeable
feature of the exhibit. Heretofore,
whenever a farmer wanted a mule he
would go to some stock dealer, who
had been out West and brought back
a carload of mules, nud buy one. Now
they nre raising them at home. The
Times-Enterprise has, for years,
urged this couree, demonstrating, by
facts nnd figures, that ’twas cheaper
for the farmers to raise their
own stock, than to send out West for
it. * G. AV. Mitchell, an industrious
colored farmer, took the premium
for the best two year old mule colt.
AY<- take special pleasure in noticing
this, as it is an evidence that we have
colored farmers in Thomas who are
setting an example to their white
neighbors. Every one was glad that
Mitchell took the premium.
The crowd was large and orderly,
and watched the antics and capering
of the sleek young colts with evident
interest nnd pleasure. Not the least
interested were the many ladies out,
and who lent an additional charm to
tho surroundings. Much credit is
due to Messrs. Hopkins, Chastain,
AV. R. McIntyre nnd L. A. Vnrncdoo
for the success of the exhibit. These
gentlemen worked hard, nnd early
and late, t) make tho occasion a suc
cessful one. The faot that twenty
nine horse colts, and twelve mule
colts were cutered, attest the success
of their efforts. Summer Hill Alli
ance, alone, entered 11 colts, and took
the $25 premium for the best ten
colts exhibited by any one allinnce.
The fo^o.wjng is the official report of
Republican Methods.
A few days ago Tohn J. Jngatls said:
The purification of politics is an irre-
descent dream. Government is force.
Politics is a battle for supremacy.
Parties are the armies. The deca
logue and the golden rule have no place
in a political campaign. The object
is success. To defeat the antagonist
and expel the party in powet is the
purpose. In war it is lawful to de
ceive the adversary, to hire Hessians,
to purchase mercenaries, to mutilate,
to kill, to destroy. The commander
who lost a battle through the activity
of his moral nature would be the de
rision and jest of history. The mod
ern cant about the corruption of poll
tics is fatiguing in the extreme. It pro-
ceeds from the tea-custard and sylla
bub dilettantism, the frivolous and de
sultory sentimentalism of epicenes.
This may be good politics, but its
mighty bad morals. But republican
leaders are not specially noted for ad
vocating clean methods in politics.

A Restaurant AAfanted.
A restaurant where both ladies ar.d
gentlemen could stop, and get a
meal or some light refreshments after
the play or a walk, is almost a neces
sity. There a - e a number of restau
rants where one can he accommoda
ted if you are not particular, but no
place for ladies. A nice place where
ladies and gentlemen could get oys
ters, a cup of coffee, etc., would be a
great convenience, and no doubt, be
a paying investment.

ed as a transparent yellowish fluid,

We don’t believe in the “Hur

more evidence of sincerity in a

in the spasmodic outbursts of in
