A Brilliant Wedding.
On Wednesday evening last, at
7:30 o’clock, at Bold Springs church,
Rev. R. O. R. England united in the
silken ties of matrimony Prof. W. II.
Cooper, of Hall county, to Miss Ida
Langston, of Bold Spring.
The large new church was beauti¬
fully decorated, and the illumination
was enchanting. The ceremony was
very impressive and beautifully per¬
formed. Not being an expert in de¬
scribing female attire, will say the
bride was most tastefully dressed,
and the groom made a most hand¬
some and manly appearance. The
audience was large, and the couple
left the church under a perfect show¬
er of congratulations from relatives
and friends, to repare to the residence
of Mr. J. F. Shannon, where a recep¬
tion was held, and a large crowd at¬
tended.
There was quite a large number of
persons at the marriage from Carnes-
ville and other neighboring towns.
The happy couple have the hear¬
tiest congratulations from all who
were present. Visitor.

First I’ll speak of Governor Doyle—
//e is not a tiller of the toil.
To please you he hard will try,
And all your cotton he will buy.
I next will speak of little Sam—
7/e will sell yon drygoods, shoes and
ham.
You will find him at his new brick
store;
You are always welcome at his door.
Next I’ll speak of John A. Reese,
Once lie was justice of the peace;
But now your watch or clock he'll fix,
And cancel stamps that others lick.
The next in line is the hotel—
Mrs. Roberts will feed you well.
7/er husband, too, strives hard to
please,
And give the travelling public ease.
.1 ml now we come to T. R. Cheek,
Fir sweats and worries thro’ the week.
When Sunday comes lie takes a rest,
7/e goes to church and looks his best.
Then we come to Dr. 7/anie—
7/e w i 1 go to see you fair or rainy.
7/e will give you potions, drugs and
pills,
And do his best to cure your ills.
The next in line is Andy IL,
Always jolly and full of glee.
A lot of sweets can there be found,
771* will sell them to you by piece or
pound.
Now we come to our teacher,
Dignified as a Methodist preacher;
7/e and Miss Nannie makes a pair
That none of us would like to spare.
The next in line is M. R. Rrown,
The dandiest man in our town.
77e runs a splendid livery stable,
This is the truth, it is no fable.
Now we come to Dr. T. R.
77e is just as busy as he can be.
77e will pass you by if you are well,
But look out for him if you have a
spell.
Now we come to that man 7/olbrook,
Who makes a living by hook or crook.
7/e does not care what you do or say
So lie sells his goods and gets bis pay.
Tliis brings us down to our Cousin
S trick,
And let me tell you he is a brick;
He is just about as full of notions
As a doctor’s shop is of pills and
potions.

lorcan H. Looney's
Gordon’s election demonstrates to
the world that Georgia is true
to her heroes of the lost cause.
It’s a rebuke to those who think
that any “new south" can get up
any new issues that will
whelm the memojies of the past,
It lets the whole nation know that
she is not ashamed of the part she
took in the civil war. It lets the
north understand that if Southern
Confederates were traitors, the he¬
roes of 1776 were traitors as well,
and that we have not accepted the
sophistry that might is right, or that
the triumph of the sword is the tri¬
umph of justice.
It also demonstrates her fatth in
the ability of her gallant son to rep¬
resent herself and the whole South
in the national councils. Wide-
minded, big-hearted, noble-souled,
an orator, a statesman, a hero, Gor¬
don is the man we need at this par-
titular juncture, to meet in debate
such men as the republican party |
has raised to “bad eminence” in the
affairs of the nation, There he is
for six years to come, and there let
him remain until the sands in his
hourglass with their dazzling passage
shall all run out, and life’s day for
him shall pale on the sunset shore of
this world, to rise with a purified
lustre in the realms of the world to
COIUO.
The republicans have had a high
old time with their annual thanks¬
givings, with slight interruption, for
twenty-five years of bad government.
They will not be likely to enjoy the
present one very muchly, so to speak.
We have promised to eat thanks¬
giving turkey with Col. Dortch to¬
day (Thursday). We have two
things, in a political sense, for which
to be cxtremlv thankful: the triumph
of the democrats on the 4th of No¬
vember, and the election of Gordon
to the United States Senate on the
18th.
Sid Lewis, of the Sparta T*hmael -!
its, facetiously remarks that the head¬
quarters of Hines and the hind quar¬
ters of Norwood are floating down
Salt liver in a sardine box.
Wonder if big Tom Reed of Maine
will tell congi essman Crisp of Geor¬
gia to sit down some more, when the
menagerie is turned into a decent i
arena again as our ancestors design¬
ed it to be!
We delight to echo the words of
the Tribune where it says, “The
election of Gordon was glory enough
for one day.”
The Macon Telegraph seems to
think itself entitled to most of the
glory in Gordon’s election. It did
work manfully for the right, and de-
serves to be honored for it. Rut
the Atlanta Journal, the Savannah j
News, the Rrunswick Times, the ;
Sparta Ishmaelite, and a host of oth-
er papers will divide the honors.
Bulwer in one of bis novels says, |
the only popularity that is much
worth having is that which arises
from a conviction, on the part of
others, that our good qualities are so
far in advance of our bad ones, that
there is no disposition to recall our
faults.
A sad memory never leaves us.
No matter where we may be, what
sort of company we are in, there it
is, wan and spectral, gliding in and
out, like the shadows throng in Reek-
ford’s Hall of Eblis, and seen only
by the haunted one in whose being
it lives forever.
The famous Dr. Arnold of Rugby
was asked once how he managed to .
get along so well with, his pupils.'
His laconic answer was, “I encour¬
age them.” Now this very thing of
encouragement is something that we
are all too prone to neglect. In our
social relations, and in our business
dealings with our follow men, we too
often discourage others by some lit- !
tie word or deed that should have
been left unsaid or undone. Rant
of potiteness, want of care some¬
times, want of confidecncc often,
these are the things that make us
ungenerous and unkind. And so the
iron pierces the defenseless bosom,
arid the shadow rests upon the soul
of a brother toiler in the hard field
of life.
Our school will close for the holi¬
days on the 24th of December, to
open again on the first Monday in
January, 1801. The .Spring session
for ’01 will continue seven scholastic
months, and will terminate about the
middle of July.
