All are doing well. “A Bunch of Keys” appears to grow more laughable at each pre dentation, and the mirth of the Arch is loud and prolonged. Even the stoic could not withstand the contagious humor of this very amusing play.-Philadeipliia Chron icle- Herald. Yesterday afternoon little -Kobt. J. Holloway, 9 years of age. brought in bile of cotton and de livered it at Felder’s warehouse, tailing a receipt in his own name 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 ford’s warehouse, a few days ago, probably did Baldwin’s & Daven port injustice, although it was not 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 ebont (our o’clock iu the ware house. The reader can draw his own conclusions. Death of Or. J. H. Bnrnuin. Dr. J. K.

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, Wedding-Bells. The news that Miss “Tookie” Lamar was merried last Tburday reached here Friday. Tbe Recor der wishes tbe happy couple plen ty of good wishes, and gives them a hat lull of blessings.

The short and impressive marriage rites of the Methodist church were 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 panied by Mr. UuddleBton and Miss Julia Johnson. A number of friends accompanied the parly to the depot. The fair young bride was one of the reigning belles of Americus, her home, where she is beloved and esteemed by ail who know her. 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.
