The BeaWiful Wedding Last Week’
The friends and acquaintances
of Mr. J. Marvin Wilcox and
Miss Nina Heald, were united in
wishing them a happy voyage over
the blissful sea of matrimony, last
Thursday night, at the Methodist
church, when these two popular
rumple plighted their lives.
The ceremony at the Methodist
church on this occassion was re
splendent with beaut}’, grand in
elegance and attractive in sim- ■
plicitv.
The groom, with his best man,
Dr. Turrentine, will never look
prouder than when lie was going
toward the alter to claim his bride,
who, arrayed in beautiful bridal
robes, awaited his coming. The
sweet little flower girls, Miss Ruth
Davis and Miss Eva Gaskin, were
very attractive, while the angelic
appearance of the bride with her
handsome maid, Miss McCormick
added much to the elegant picture
of adorned beauty near the alter.
The bride is a niece of Mrs. C.
N. Fiedling of this city, was for
merly of Thomasville, but for
sometime was connected with the
telephone exchange here. The
groom was raised in Coffee county,
and is a son of Rev. J. M. \\ ii
cox, one of the most earnest and
devoted Christians we ever knew.
He is an industrious young man
and is with the Watt Harley
Holmes Hardware Co., of this
place.
These two young people would
know, if we did not say as much
here, that thcyjiave our best wishes
for their future lives.
Will be a Private Execution.
As we hurried the Breeze to
press last week on Thursday, one
day sooner than usual, in order to
give our patrons who were attend
ing court their papers before they
left town, and to get the press
clear for printing the Coffee Coun
ty Gazette,-we only had time to
announce that Lee Cribb would be
hanged on the 10th of November.
We omitted to state that the exe
cution would be private, only the
physicians, Drs. Terrell and Sib
bett, the guards, and the friends
of the condemned man will be
allowed to be present. We make
ibis statement in order that the
people at a distance may not, as is
usual on such occasions, come to
'ask —with the expectation of
see rug ah unfortunate man pay the
penalty pi his crime.
Gout? Coffee County Farming.
Mr. W. M. Gaskin, who lives
near rl’nepherd, reports that he
made J. 550, bundles of oats as a
first crop and 100 Bushels of corn
second crop, on three acres of land
this year, peas and fodder ex’ra.
The oats were cut in June, corn
planted as soon as ground could be
prepared with above result. In
addition to this? lie made about 200
bushels of corn on one acre from
which the oats were cut in June.
Talk about farming, but you will
go a long way and not find any
better than this.
Making a Good Road.
We are informed* that work is
going on now on the road be
tween this place and the -iver to
put the old sand bed road that has
killed so many horses and kept our
neighbors away so long, out of
business. Mr. Henry Davis, with
his brigade, are digging out the
sand and putting down good, hard
clay. This will make a fine road
when cortiplete, and will be a source
of general public good.
Death Mrs- Wood.
'Mrs. Holland Wood, sister of
John and Mark Anderson, o.
Douglas and Jake Anderson of
Brcxton, died last Tuesday morn
ing, and was buried at Broxton
cemetery on the following day. She
left six children, the oldest mar
ried, and many friends and ac
quaintances to mourn her demise.
We could obtain no further par
ticulars.
Fine Keifer Pears.
Mr. Hiram Davis, who lives
near Wilsonville, in this county,
brought us three Keifer pears last
Tuesday, which, all of them,
weighed pounds. One of them
weighed 2\ pounds. Now, that
is a fine showing for fruit, in this
section.

Biar meeting: at Prospect Church
Last Sunday was regular preach
ing day at Prospect Church.
Postm ister Finley and Wife, and
Miss Dollie Freeman, of Douglas,
came up on a special invitation
from W. T. Marlow, Pastor.
The meeting began on Friday,
and ran until Sunday night, large
congregations at each service, on
Sunday the people numbered,
about seven Hundred. People
came as far as 10 miles, to hea»-
vSister Dol'ie declare the eternal
truths of God, which she did in a
most able manner, and we feel sure
that much and lasting good was
accomplished through her instru
mentality, quite a number came
forword and asked Sister Dollie to
pray for them, others arose and
said they felt their souls greatly
blest, no one will ever know how
many good impressions were made
nor what the harvest will be until
we meet at the judgment. It was
soul stiring to ’ook into the face of
the angel lik? girl as she would
stand on the floor and deliver to
the people the sweet message of
love that God gave her.
Sister Dollie has been Hie means
of many souls being brought to
Christ. Yes, we long to sec the
time when we shall again hear her
sweet voice in Prospect Church.
We hope she may live long, and
ever continue to proclaim the glad
tidings. Sister Dollie has many
warm friends, in this community,
and they all regretted to see her
leave, for she is a precious jewel,
and she will always he remembered
by the good people of Prospect.

Nature's Freak in a Potato.
Mr. D. Garrison, who lives near
Ashton, in Irwin county, has sent
to this office a five pound potato,
which is half Irish and half sweet
potato. Sweet potatoes and Irish
potatoes, we suppose, were planted
near each other, and the roots must
have gone together, or else a potato
of each variety were planted in the
same rows. Any way, half of this
potato show r s the eyes and mealy
meat of the Irish potato, while the
other half is pure red yam.

October ißth, we had a glorious
meeting. After preaching, by Rev.
A. B. Finley, from 2nd King, 7-3,
conference was convened, the
Church rescinded its action in call
ing Bro. W. 11. Davis, and a
unanimous call was tendered Bro.
Finley as permanent pastor. Two
members were received, a prayer
service was organized for every
Sunday at 10 o'clock, also a Sun

persons went to Bro. Joshua Ward’s

A visitor to the city would
hard'y believe us last week when
we told him that the brick used h
the Sweat-V.ickcrs building were
made in Coffee county. When in
saw two wagons loaded with brick
coming down Ward street toward
the building, however, tie caved in,
begged our pardon for doubting our
sagacity and veracity and paid us
for the Breeze for twelve months.
Dr. Montgomery is still very
sick, does not gain much strength,

we may report his convalence by
another week.
