His father informed us that tbe
cotton was cultivated and harvest
ed by the iad, and that he had re
ceived no assistacce. Good show-
intr for so small a planter.
Our item about a bale of cotton
being on lire in Council <Sc Willi

probably did Baldwin’s & Daven

so intended. Mr. Davenport said
the bale was ginned, picked and
thrown on their yard at 4 p. in.
Wednesday afternoon, and lay
ulicre until Thursday morning at 8
without showing any signs of Ore.
Tbe bale was discovered on lire

j .Supposed Attempted Chtireb
Hunting
At tl o'clock, Friday night, fire
was discovered in the woods near
Rocky Mount church, ou the A. P.
A L. It. R., five miles from the
city. Tho young man who dis
covered it, gave the alarm and the
united efforts of himself and three
others saved the church. The fire
was in twenty or thirty feet of the
church, and an old brush arbor
standing near, was at the point of
being ignited. Had it caught no
efforts could have saved the church.
The supposition is that the attempt
was made to set the chinch on fire,

conducted by Rt-v. J. W. Lee.
After everybody had offered their
congratulations and best wishes
tbe company was ushered into the
dining room where tbe estimable
hostess, Mrs. Lamar, had spread lor
telim a regular banquet. This was
by uo means an unimportant part
of tbe programme and the party
lingered quite a while around the
table. Returning to the parlor,
the good byes were said, and the
bridal party took their departure
(or East Rome and left on the
11:30 o'clock train for Jackson.
The bride and groom were accom

The gallant young groom, Mr.
Frank Ethridge, is a polished gen
tleman and h most successful busi
ness man. The marriage is a union
of true love begotten of true worth
ou both sid es.
The Courier, figuratively casting
tbe traditional slipper after the
hnppy couple, joins in the many
wishes for their futuie happiness
and prosperity.

Look what a profit is right hero
«aved to you. This alone enables
him to sell goods at least FIFTY
PERCENT, less than these slow
plodding dealers who nre almost
gasping for breath at GYLES'
LOW PRICES. These concerns
are desperate now because ot their
inability to compete.
DOWN WITH PRICES!
Says GYLES, and they TREM
BLE because they know they can’t
follow. Tin ir expenses are enor
mous and so they have to sell for
big profits.
Somebody has got to heat it,
and it is YOU, customev, that has
it to pay. You, yourself, don't
indulge in any such extravagance !
Will vou tolerate it in others?
NO, YOU WON T! We know
you too well for that.
