"The day I. cold, and dark and dreary,
It rain., and the wind I. never weary;
The vine .tillcllnge to the moulding wall,
But at every guat the dead leave, fall
And the day le dark and dreary.”
The above familiar lines are very ex

ORANGE M.OHSOMS.
TWO LOVING LIVES AND IIKAKTH MADE
ONE ANDCUrlD IS AVBNUES.
The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Prince,
one of Amertcus' loveliest women, to
,Mr. Charles Wilburn of Macon, was an
occasion which all social Americus was
kindly Interested In.
The wedding occurred on Thursday,
August 27, at tho residence of the bride’s
father, Mr. Joseph K. Prince, on College
street.
* The home is ono of the prettiest in the
city, and on this occasion skilled hands
had wreathed wedding garlands of rare
beauty and delicious fragrance in honor
of the much loved daughter, who had
been during her life the pride of this
happy household.
The parlora were darkened, and soft
shadows were cast over the exquisite
floral decorations, making a picture un
surpassed In beauty.
A rich profusion of handsome bridal
presents were displayed In the drawing
room. They were loving tokens of
friendship from Americas, Macon and
Savannah admirer*.
A unique hall decoration was a portlor
of Ivy and vinca. The effect was artistic
In the extreme and much admired.
The east parlor, where the ceremony
was performed, was garlanded with sml

space. The guests gathered in this
room, and many exceptionally handsome
costumes were .noticeable. Radiant ex
pectancy was pictured on the counte
nance of friends and loved ones who
were present to witness the marriage of
i one of the most charming of Americus'
women to one of Macon's most worthy

The weather reminds us of approach
ing autumn, and September will see the

maiden fair, and her affirmative decision
proves that she is a wise and just judge
The many friends of the popular at
torney will offer congratulations when
ho shows the legal documents.
There is a disposition on the part of
some of the young men to engage tem
porary quarters for a club room this
season.
This seems to be a good move, and will
doubtlesa meet with popular favor. The
new elub bouse will hardly be finished
in time for the coming fall gnyetios, and
the Social Athletics have ever been such
important factor* In social Americus, a
reorganization of this popular clan
would be heralded with delight
It Is with many regrets that social
Americus parts with Mr. Henry White.

A Street Entertainment.
Yesterday afternoon a couple of nc*
groes and a little cow furnished quite an
attraction on the lower end of Forsyth
street. The cow was being carried to
the butcher shop and seemed to under
stand the fate that awaitad her. When
she entered Forsyth street she refused
to go another step, and lay down on the
ground, blockading the street. All the
persuasive powers of the negroes could
not move her, and quite a crowd gath
ered to see the spoit. Some one thought
of the water, and soon bad a good stream
turned on the cow. She stood it for a
while, but finally concluded to move on,
and the last seen of the trio they were
moving up the street at a slow pace, one
pulling at the rope and the other twist
ing the tail of the obstreperous little
cow.
Grand Removal Sale
Let It Be “The Windsor."
The Times-Recorder: It la under
stood that in a few days our grand and
beantiful hotel will be named “The
Windsor." All the surroundings con
sidered, this would ho appropriate, but
the simpleness of the name, and at the
same time a handsome one, would meet
the wishes, we are sure, of the thinking
public. To get a name to please all Is
an impossibility; but what is wanted is
a name that the traveling public mny be
attracted to, and one that would com
bine comfort with elegance, and the
name of "Windsor" would, in our opin
ion, convey such. So let that be the
one adopted, and all will be satisfied.
To the Public.
On Tuesday next, September 1,1 will
assume the management of the Hawkins
House in this city, and will endeavor to
make for It a name second to that of no
well kept hotel in Georgia. The rooms
arc large and comfortable, the tables
will be supplied with the best the market
affords, and I respectfully ask the
patronage of the traveling public. My
rates wilt be $13 per month for table
board; $20 for board and lodging. Re
spectfully, . Mbs. J. N. West.

Buying Spectacles as you would gro
ceries, by selecting from a ready-made
stock, those which seem to be the near
est right, It a method that belongs to the
past. Each eye should be tested sepa
rately, carefully and intelligeiUly by one
who la educated to recognize the pres
ence of diseases of the eye by the Op-
thaimoscope, and competent to advise
whether glasses should be worn or not,
as in many cases Spectacles work a posi
tive and permanent Injury to the sight.
