Shaw, repre&htatiTes-'eiect respective
ly from Ectiols, Lowndes and IWrien
counties, passed through Tifton Sun
day en route to Atlanta to attend the
session of the legislature whieh as
sembled last Wednesday at 10 a.m.
The Gazette is requested to an
nounce that the advisory committee
appointed by Mell Association to vis
it Pertain churches connected with
the body, agreeable to invitations ex
tended by these churches, will accept
the one extended by Mb Zioa church
Irwin ooonty, for next Tuesday—Oc
tober 30th. The advisory committee
is composed of Elders W. F. Cox, W.
J. Baker, 11. T. Dowling und W. W.
Webb, and J. D. Calhoun. It is ho
ped that the member* of Mb Zion
church will meet the committee
promptly in the spirit of the Master
and to honor His cause.
At the quarterly conference of the
Aiapaha circuit held in the Tifton
Methodist church it was decided to
build a parsonage at Tifton. A build
ing committee was appointed and con
sists of Messrs W. 0. Tift, W. II. Lore
T. M. Greene, G. II. Padrick and W.
S. Louther. Thecommittee hopes to
have the building completed early in
the now year, 1895.
W. 0. Tift is receiving a large
stock of fall and winter goods, bougt
sinCe tariff reduction und will be sold
at prices that will defy competition.
Real estate in and around Tifton
continues to change hands. The la
test is the exchange by Mr.’T. M.
Greene of his lot and commodious
home on I/oveav. to Mr. W. W. Tim
mons for his two houses and lots
on Sixth street and Central avenue.
It is also stated that Mt. Timmons
i
contemplates uddiug ten rooms to the
Greene residence and' converting it,
into a winter resort hotel. The deal,
it seems to us,' is a happy one for both
parties concerned.
“I would rather trust that medicine
than an)’doctor I know of,” Says Mrs.
Hattie Mason of Chilton, Carter Co.,Mo.,
speaking of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhuio Remedy. For sale by The

There was quite a gathering of
umberinen in the city Tuesday.
They held a conference in the parlor
of Hotel Sadie immediately after din
ner. As the meeting was strictly
private and the participants entirely
reticent the Gazette failed to
Ieurn what was its objects and re
sults. Among the gentlemen present
we noticed Cupt. S. It. Weston, of
Weston’s Mill; J. B. Gunn, Enig
ma: G. W. Gray, Leliaton;.J. W.Mal-
lerte, Leightou: W. M, Dixon, Savan
nah; W. B. Seymour und G. A. Myd-
dleton, Brunswick; J. M. Wilkersdn,
Valdosta; J. W. Oglesby, Ileartpiue;
A. B. Galloway, Alpha; C. II. Thiot,
Staunton; P. I). Phillips, Ruby. Sev
eral mills were represented by proxy.
The presses of the Gazette Pub-
i.ibhino IIoi’he is kept quite busy all
the time. Its patronage extends to
four or five counties—Berrien, Col
quitt, Worth, Irwin and Coffee.
■ “One of the attractions of the Ma
con fair will be an exhibit by the
Tifton Canning Company of thegoods
grown and canned here this year,”
says the Tifton correspondent of the
Atlanta Journal. It seems, however,
that “the best laid plans of mice
and men, gong aft agee,” and so it is
with the exhibit of the Tifton Can
ning Company at- the Macon fair.
After the exhibit had been arranged
and ready to ship, the superintendent
of the exhibit was notified by the rui
road authorities that $80 freight
charges must be prepaid upon it.
This settled the matter of an exiiibit
by the Canning Company at once;not
only tii.it it stopped the Berrien conn
ty exhibit us well. The people of
Tifton and Berrien county are indig
mink over the matter, because they
had been promised free transportation
for their display, of which the exhibit
of the Canning Company formed a
necessary part, the railroad authorities
seem to think the Canning Company's
exiiibit was an effort to “beat” them
out of legitimate freight The mem
here of the Tifton Cunning Company
are gentlemen atid are not given to
imoh meanness as the action of the
railroad authorities would insinuate.

ABOUT THE COUNTY.
Items Which Escaped the Attention of
Our Special Reporters.
Some of the very best farming
land in Berrien county is on the west
side, bordering on Little rive. 1 .
lion. Ben E. ltnsseil’s majority in
Berrien county will be not far from
1,000. Remember the prediction.
The county commissioners of Ber
rien will get cio6e behind Contractor
Glover and his Ixindsmcn unless the
Little River bridge and crossing on
the Tifton and Ty-Ty road is put in
good order at once. They are not go
ing to have any foolishness about it.
Mr. Juliau Cole, of Tifton, and
some triends from Adel, met at lien-
ox last Saturday to spend the day
among the feathered tribe in that vi

The Baptists, of Staunton, have a
lurge portion of the material for their

competent mechanic. Mr. Adam Suf-
fold, which is a guarantee that it will
be well done. The building will be
a handsome and commodious one.
GORMAN—HUGGINS.
BrllllHut WmltlliiK In Colquilt County
TucBiluy Evening.
One of the prettiest weddings the
Gazette lias witnessed for a long
while was consummated lastTncsday
evening six o’clock at the residence
of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs.
George W, Huggins, near Debbie I*.
0., Colquitt county, when Mr. Owen
W. Gorman and Miss Mabel lluggins
were united in holy wedlock.
Long before the hour arrived for
tlie ceremony a largo concourse of
people hud assembled as witnesses.
Some of them relatives of llie contrac
ting parties hud cotneagrcat distance
—as far away as South Carolina—to
be present at the happy event.
Promptly at six o'clock the bride’s
parents entered the parlor, where the
witnesses had assembled, and took po
sition to tlie right and left of the of
ficiating minister. Then came the
attendants—Mr. David Ketchum with
Miss Claudie McDuffie, Mr. Fred Mc
Duffie with Miss Huggins, Mr.
Percy Ketchum with Miss Sarah Gor
man, closely followed by the bride
and gioom and forming a circle in the
centre of the room.
Elder John F.Eden, brother-in-law
of the groom and pastor of tlie Quit-
man Baptist church, spoke tlie words
which were to make,
“Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one,”
inseparable for life. The ceremony
was an original one—the minister's
own arrangement—and was very pret
ty and impressive.
The presents were numerous and
costly, and the young people will be
very well prepared when they com
mence to keep house.
After hearty congratulations from
nearly every person present tlie bride’s
parents invited the guests to repair
to the dining room and partake of a
most elaborate and delicate wedding
feast which busy hands and loving
hearts had prepared far the occasion.
The groom is an estimable young
gentleman and the bride is an accom
plished young lady, both tntich be
loved by ull their acquaintances. The
happy couple took tlie midnight train
for Macon to visit the groom’s parents
and to sec the sight* of the Dixie In
terstate Fair. >
The best wishes of the Gazette
and a host of friends will accompany
Mr. and Mrs. Gorman through life,

To t lie Voters of lierricn County.
The democratic primary is near at
hand ami as yet f have made no for-
mal declaration of my candidacy for
surveyor. 1 have been elected to this
office eleven times ami have served
twenty years, but not continuously,
Tlie first time I was elected was du
ring the war and I did not take up
my commission. During the war the
matter of giving out commissions was
in the hands of Judges of the In
ferior court. I wus at my post of
duty in the “bullet” department at
the time of my election und coulyl
not get a leave of absence to take up
the commission until it had expired.
I, therefore, did not serve the first
term to whioh I was elected. •
I wish to say to tlie voters of Ber
rien county that I am yet a democrat
fully alive to the duties encumbent
upon one filling the Surveyor’s office
and urn willing to serve the people
again in that capacity if they desire
me to do so. If (hey do not wuntme
let thorn select some good man, suit
able to them, and I will do all I can
to elect him.
I mn very grateful to them for fa
vors shown in the past campaigns and
if they shall see fit to confer the Sur
veyors office, on me again. I will dis
charge the duties thereof to the best
of my ability. M. R. Lindsey.

Nashville. October 25.—The
weather continues fine and farmers
are having a good time for harvesting
their crops.
More cotton than usual has been
brought town this week and our mer
chants are paying the highest price*
for it.
I am inclined to think more “hog
and hominy” and less cotton is just
what our country is needing at this
time. Try the experiment for a few
few years and be convinced of the
truthfulness of this assertion.
If you wish to know how to bring
about better times' for this blessed
country cf ours come out to the noils
on tlie (ith day of November, and vote
for the Hon. Ben E. Russell for con
gress; yon will thereby find out.
