A SURPRISE MARRIAGE
Mr- John M Sears and Miss Nell-Dii
muke Wedded Last Night-
A quiet, though very happy mar
riage, took place in the city last night
when Mr John M Sears wee wedded
to Mies Nell Dismuke at 8 o’plock, at
the residence of Capt. E_M. Word,
Rsv T W O’Kelley officiating.
The marriage will be a surprise from
the fact of it occurring just when it
did, and there can be no reason giten
lor it save the desire of tjie young
couple to be quietly married.
Mr. Sesrs and Miss Dismuke’s love
affair has been often discussed and it
has been agreed by one and all that
they would one day marry, yet this
one day bad not been decided on as
June 28ib ; but that was fated to be
the date and they have the congratu
lations of their many friends.
Mr. Sears is a prominent young
grocer of this city, and Miss Dismuke
is one of our handsomest young ladies.
They" will, for the present, be at
home to their friends at the residence
of Capt E. M. Word.
A Night School.
All young men desiring Instructions

T. B. Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows: “I
have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative for
eight years, and have never known of a
single instance where it failed to give per
fect satisfaction. Parties who once use it
always make permanent customers. We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic
dr >ps combined.” For teething children
it has no equal.
NO BEARINGS*TO DISCOVER.
If a Man Ever Reaches the North
Pole He Will Be Lost-
* II ■■■ u
If any one really got to the pole he
would, in common parlance, be utter
ly ‘‘at sea,” eimply because at the pole
there is no possibility of ascertaining
one’s whereabouts. A person arriving
there would find an altogether differ
ent world about him. Like a blind
man, he would grope about and vainly
endeavor to get back whence he came.
This by no means enviable situation is
calculated to destroy the. illusions
which he may have cherished when
starting on bis polar expedition. His
completely changed situation would
be accounted for by the fact that when
stationed at the pole the direction of
the north would be found to coincide
w-ith the line of the zenith—that is to
say, the point exactly abeve us The
opposite point, viz, the nadir, would
coincide with the direction to the
south. The longitudinal circles and,
hence, also the meridian of the locali
ty, would coincide with the horizon.
Hence an astronomical determination
of the locality, according to latitude
and longitude is precluded.
The same may be said as regards
de'ermining one’s bearing in any di
rection. The compass, too, will fail
there, because its horizontal intensity
is so slight as to preclude the possibili
ty of its action. The ooly criterion
for judging that one has strived at
the pole is that the observed latitude
above the true horizon, is found to
coincide with the value of the decli
nation of the sun for tbe day in ques
tion.
Moreover, io those regions there is
scarcely a day on which dense fogs do
not prevail, and sixty or more degrees

(C ) of cold, such as mostly exists
there, will enhance the difficulties of
observation to such an extent that it
can only be a question of approximate
estimates Such conditions are by no
means enviable, and are scarcely cal
culated to induce us to long for them
with all our hearts.
But these are not the only things
which are likely to make a sojourn at
tbe pole a never-ending torment-
Worse than all the rest, one cannot
count the passing there; in other
words, there ia no criterion for deter
mining the time of day.
During a period of eix months the
eun will neither rise nor aet, but during
the whole of tbe rime will always re
main either above or below tbe hori
zon. As the earth revolves around its
axis in twenty-four hours, the sun
apparently describee, during the same
interval, a circuit of 360 degrees around
the sky, being visible at an altitude
equal to the declination whenever
declination is of tbe same name as the
pole at which the observer is stationed.
The numerous attempts hitherto
made to reach the pole have, as a mat
ter of course, been by water —that is
to say, by ships and sledges. Tbe idea
that one might get there by an aerial
passage has not gained ground nutil
recently, but if we consider that bal
loons are not navigable, aud bence
any dirsclion that may accidently
prevail, and in the most unlikely event
only to tbe pole, no one possessed ol
but a moderate amount of common-
sense will comprehend how success
could have been expected from such
an enterprise. Moreover, determina
tions of locality cannot possibly be
made from a balloon with any approx
imate degree of accuracy—Nautical

war purchases last week, aud judging from the amount of the purchase

clothing during war time. Well; we just gave them a check to show who
