This is the day appointed by Governor
Gordon as arbor day in Georgia, bnt with
the thermometer nearly down to freezing
point we fear that it will not be generally
observed. One cannot be brought to ap

trees when the wind feels like it is com¬
ing directly from the froz n regions.

tween Dr T J Brook* and Mr S R Mnrs
phey has been cancelled. Rev W A Far¬

witd his good wife to run the domestic

Wolfson will remain until the new pro¬
prietor takes possession.

low prices. The stock w r as thought by
competent judges to have sold for its full
value, bnt the sales did not bring their
full value. The land that was to have
been sold was withdrawn ard will be sold
at pritate sale. They sell cut to locate
in Texas, where they will move -bortly.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
A Brave Confederate Soldier Weds the
Sweetheart of his Youth.
On yesterday, at the residence of the
bride, in the little city of Geneva, thirty
miles from Colnmbns, Captain Dinkley,
a prominent citizen of Nashville, Tenn • t
was married to Mrs Carrie Jordan, of
Geneva, Rev C H Branch officiating.
Years ago. daring the late civil straggle,
it is said Capt Dinkley, who was a brave
soldier, was woanded, and stopped at the
home of Mr Caldwell, in the lower part
of this state, where be was tenderly nursed
by the family, one of whom was Miss
Carrie Caldwell, then a young girl. The
wounded soldier and the fair daughter
formed an attachment fot each other.bat
fate threw them apart, and they each in
time married. Miss Caldwell becane
Mrs Jordan and Captain Dinkley chose
another for his wife. Death came to the
home of each and robbed the wife of
bnsband and the bnsband of wife, and
bnt a brief time since these two hearts
that had been separated by fate yems
were thrown together and they now beat
as one. Tne marriage was kept quiet
and was a genuine snrprise to the friends
of the lady, who is greatly loved at her
home. Captain Dinkley was a splendid
gentleman. His bride is one of the no¬
blest Christian ladies of Georgia. Both
have done well. We tell it as ’twas told
to ns.
The newly married couple passed ‘hreugh
this city yesterday en route to the home
of the groom.
We copy the above from the Colnmbns
Enquirer. Mrs Jordan taught a school
at Gataula last fall and made many
friends who wish her much joy.

suspect he’s behind with his washerwoman.”

“What is it?”
