and Outfitter of this city, I am
so well pleased with the result
in every way that I shall con
tinue to give him my patron*
age. Yours respectfully,

New Engines For tha S.A.O,
Some time sinoe the S. A. <fc M. rail
road authorities placed orders with the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Pbila
delphia, for a number of their best and
heaviest locomotives, to be used in the
freight service of that road.
Three of these ponderous engines have
been completed and will arrive here in
the course of a week or two, to, be fol
lowed by others later on. They are,
perhaps, the largest locomotives in the
state, weighing sixty ions or 120,000
pounds each. They are "ten wheelers”
with oyllnders 19 by24 Inches, and can
pull fifty loaded oars without the slight
est difficulty.
. Some-tdeabef the, else of thesa Iron
Monsters may be bad In a knowledge of
the Tact that they are is,000 pounds
heavier than any of the big ten wheelers
now in the service of the 8. A. A M,
these having an average weight of fifty-
two tons or 104,000pounds.
The rapidly Increasing business of
this road has made it necessary for the
management to make a farther pur
chase of cars, and orders for several
hundred additional box and Hat cars
will be placed at an early date.
Suits made to order, and fit
guaranteed, for $15.00 and up

Last Wednesday. '
Mr. H. C. Berry, a popular young gen*
tleman of our city, was married last
Wednesday. He is an old Baltimore
Boy, and during his stay here has won
the admiration oi all, and made a repu
tation hard for any to equal.
The following account of the wed
ding is taken from the Baltimore News,
of Sunday last:
"SL Mark's Lutheran church was the
scene of a quiet,-but very pretty wed
ding Wednesday evening, the contract
ing parties being Mr. Harry C. Berry and
Miss May Smith. Mr. Berry is of the
firm of Butler & Berry, Americus, Ga.
The bride,wearing a traveling dress of
oneof the new shades (made), trimmed
with silk, bat, gloves and stylish little
coat to match, entered the church lean
ing on the arm of her father, Mr. S. E.
Smith, preceded by the ushers. She car
ried a lovely bouqqet of bridal buds,
followed by her maid of honor, Miss
May $grnott, who was very tastefully
attired tn a dress of grey, trimmed with
changeable silk,and carried a bouquet of
La France roses, while Prof. C. G. Wood
ward performed Lohengrin’s “Wedding
March.” Rev. Dr. Charles S. Albert
and the Rev. James L. Bryan, D. D.,
rector of the Protestant Episcopal
church of Cambridge, performed the
wedding ceremony. The baBt man was
Mr. William W. Woodward, and the
ushers were Howard H. Ogle, T. P,
Travers, L. Bryan and L. L. Smith,
cousin of the bride. Immediately after
the ceremony the happy couple were
driven to Camden Station and after bid
ding farewell to a large number of
friends and receiving a terrific shower
of rice and old slippers, took the 8.10
train for the north, whore they will
spend part of their honeymoon and re
turn to the city In about ten days, when
they will make an extended trip through
Florida, after which they will make
Americus, Ga., their home. Mr. and
Mrs. Berry wero the recipients of many
