At Hymen’s Altar.
On. Wendesday, at 4 p. m., at the
residence of the bride’s father, iu Met
calfe, the Rev. J. T. Rydet officia
ting, were joined iu the holy bonds
ol matrimony, Dr. W. B. Watkins
cud JIis3 Emma Rushin.
The attendants wero Dr. Hanna
and Miss Cora Baldy; Mr. H. T.
Youug and Miss Blanche Rushin;
Sir. Frank Stringer and Miss Coin
Watkins; Mr. J. C. Zeigler and Miss
Annie Beau. ..
Thcncwly wedded pair, accompa
nied by several of their attendants,
reached the home oi the groom’s fa'
tlier, near town, at an early hour it
the cveuing. They wero, together
with a number of invited friends,
handsomely entertained during the
cveuing. At 8 o’clock the party
filed into the dining room, which was
tastefully decorated for the occasion,
where a splendid wedding supper
was spread. The menu embraced all
the substantial and delicacies of the
season. It was one of thgse old time,
genuine country meals where every
thing was good, iu plenty, and die—
pc used in that unaffected style which
throws such a charm around an occa
sion ol the kind.There was an utter ab-
bouc^ of that stiffness at)U formality
which soiueti.ucs mark such affairs.
Dr. Watkins and his excellent wifo
proved themselves delightful enter
tainers, pa every one will testify who
were present. With music and song,
the happy hours flew by on rapid
wing, until the chimes of the mid
night hour were heard, when the par
ticipants sought their homes, to dream,
perhaps,—some of them, at least—
of some (air lace or form. (
It is needless to add that the bride
looked charming, mid that tho young
groom beamed with hnppiuc33 on his
new treasure. May tho future ■ he
laden'with fortune and happiness fur
these two, who, henceforih, are to go
through file together; and may the
bright dream of their youth bo more
than realized when crowned with age,
when the silver threads shall uppatr
among the gold.

When the dai of life is fled,

The Purchasing of Present.
Ju3t now the matter of perplexity
is tho buying of Christmas presents.
There are toys for childern, hooks,and
Other presents for the older ones, and
tokens for the elders, hut the selec
tion, notwithstanding the handsome
line <ff holiday goods, is hard to make,
and it requires moments of sober re
flection to hit upon something appro
priate, not too expensive, and withal
useful. The holiday advertisements
are largely read, and the stores inva
ded beforo the choice is made.
Burk's Circus. '
Mr. DeForrest Davis, representing
Burk’s circus, was in tho city yester
day. Theatre goers will remember
Burk’s educated horses, which were
at the opera house two seasons ago,
and tho circus is an enlargement ol
the stme show by Mr. Burk, the pro
prietor.
Mr. Joseph Leppert, of Owensboro,
Ky., arrived Wednesday evening, and
is now connected with the Mitchell
House barber shop.
“United Sons of Rest."
Under tho above head, the Thom
asville correspondent of the News,
writes ns follows:
“There flour ished for several winters
in ThomasvDle an organization or
club of winter sojourners known as
the “United Sons of Rest.” Thoir
lieadqu triers, were on the sunny side
of certain 1 mildings on the corner of
Jackson and Madison streets. Tho
name of tho club in large letters was
posted alo.ft above the place tho
cronies as /embled. Passcrsby noticed
the sign and smiled. Choice spirits
were thr sc, making the best of tho
remnant of life left them. Its pri-
cipal m embers have joined the silent
majority since thon, and the “United
Sons of Rest” have disbanded. The
grim humor of life crops out iu
another club, which meets in the
warm suDshiuo in front of tho Masury
hotel. These jovial gentlemen call
themselves tho “One Luny Club.’’
Its membership is constantly incrcas
ing. It is to bo hoped that the brave
spirits which can bear life’s ills so
patiently, will Bupport and preserve
tho body as well.”
A Thing of Beauty.
Tho reporter Jwas shown yesterday
the handsome medal awarded by the
Thomas Hussars to the successful fil
ter in the tounarr.ent on Nov. 12th.

yesterday. His play will be hero
Thursday night. Mr. Colton was

second company to play in our new
opera house.
Cdve us Another Chance.
The Senator from the 39th, Mr.
Johnson, .s going to reform the peo
ple. J it has introduced a bill against
betting on horse races or elections.
If Mr. Johnson’s bill had been in
force two ytars ago, at the time of the
p-esidentia! election, it would have
saved us from paying for numerous
hats, boxes of cigars etc. We hope,
however, to be allowed to get even at
the next presidential election, when
our large wcaltn will be piled up again
on Grover Cleveland, against the
field, against Susan B, Anthony, Dr.
Mary Waiker, or ar.y other man, third
party or no thud parly.
Advice.
There is a wide difference betweon
tho advice wfi’ch is thrust upon you
and Hint which you have to hunt
The general carelessness of the former
brand of advice, and the caution with
which the later is imparted, should lie
taken into consideration in estimating
their value.
But in general it is with advice as
it is with taxation, we can endure a
little of either if they come to us in
the direct way. They must 11 >t thrust
themselves ttjiou us. We do not un
derstand their knocking at our door;
besides they always choose such incon
venient times, and are forever talk-
about arrears.—Texas Sift

The Minister Knew his Man.
From (lie Pickens County, Ga., Herald.
' colored brother once applied for
Ii rente to preach on the ground that
he had seen a sign in the sky the 'ot
ters “G. P. C.,’ woich he regarded is
a call to “Go preach Christ.” But an
aged minister assured him that he had
mistaken the revelation; that it meant,
“Go plow corn.”
$5.00 PE& ANNUM.
LEVY’S
The democrats in both House and
Senate, satisfied of the justice of the
demands of the Farmers’ Alliance for
an increase in the amount of money
in circulation, stand ready to vote for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
The democrats have worked hard
to increase the volume of currency
and they will yet accomplish tho work
Congress will adjourn in a few days
for tho holidays. It would he a re
relief to the country if tbe 51st con
gress would adjourn sine die.
A bill has been introduced iu tho
legislature—and it should pass—to
allow counties to vote a specie 1 tax
for school purposes.
The betterment ghost is haunting
the halls of the Georgia legislature.
It stalks around in broad day light.
The legislature lias taxed dcnlers in
pistols, bowie knifes, dirks and long
range rifle3, 8100. per annum.
The legislature and Gov. Northen
should see to it thatjthero is 110 slip
up on tho lenso of the state road.
Such golden op
portunities seldom
occur to buy wraps
nt actual cost. Do
not neglect it, only a
few days longer to
buy in—what more
acceptable Christmas '
present for wife or -
daughters!
