A gentleman in Chicago wroto to Agent VanDyko asking if tickets from Chicago would bo placed on salo nt reduced rates, and another party Inquired about the advisability of bringing a Gno horso down from Macon. Both parties saw mention of the exhibition in tho Times-Enter. 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.

Tickets to the Southern Exposition at Montgomery, Ala., have been put on sale from this place, at $4.70, Tickets limited to five days from date of sale. 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. the awards: i-rhmium’s awarded. Nov. 12 th, 1890.

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. -Dr Koch Qlven 6250,000. Frankfort, Nov. 11.—A telgram to the Berlin Post says the emperor has made a personal gift of $250,000 to Prof. Koch and another of the same amouat to endow a national institute for the production of the lymph used his process. Tho lymph is describ ed as a transparent yellowish fluid, having slight smell of carbolic acid. Dispatches from Atlanta represent that the anti-Gordon men, as a last resort, will try and concentrate on Nat Hammond. But the tronble with Hammond is, that >e will not swallow tho yard stick. It is still •anybody to beat Gordon.” This was Good Politics. AVashinqton, Nov. i i.—Dr, R. H. Graham, who has returned here from Ohio, where he participated is the Congressional bride for the election of Major McKinley and cx-Governor Foster, says he never witnessed such scenes as he did in the Canton district. The democrats, in order to beat Mc Kinley,sent out wagon load after wag on load ol tinware to be peddled from farmhouse to larmhouse,-twice the val ue being demanded. ‘■The housewives,’’ continued the doctor, ‘‘threw u.) their hands in holy horror and begged to know why buck cts, pans a'd kettles had doubled their prices in such a short tim ‘•The McKinley bill did it,’’ was the reply. .

We don’t believe in the “Hur rah’' method of transacting business. There’s decidedly more evidence of sincerity in a continued utterance of solid aud substantial facts, than there is in the spasmodic outbursts of in explicable liberality ivhich has been shown by some business houses. This, however, is an issue which must be decided by the intelligence and discerning judgment of the people who have dollars to spend, and who naturally expect to receive a fair equivalent for their cash.
