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.

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 50 SEWING MACHINES GIVEN AWAY! x . , v . d.a ohnnt it We are determined to move out more goods in the next thirty days EMPHASIZE TH|S RESOLVE. - MILLINERY . .

(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.
