‘Alabama,” AuguatuiThomaa’ papular
romance of the south, will be given at
Alabama”
Is described a* the most American of all
American play*, and as being natural in
its Americanism. It has the war for its
theme, but there are no soldiers, no ac-
Mitrements of the barrack, no martial
usic,no sensationalism,no sectionalism
It pictures life in the southern state,
after which it is called, fifteen or twen
ty years after the “civil war.”
There is an aged planter, decrepit,
broken-hearted almost, because the war
estianged him from his only son, a lad
who was educated at West Point, but
0 livalrous to the point of provoking a
challenge to a duel from a man who had
cant a slur upon the name of bit nie.ee.
There is Ids grand-daughter, an “Ala
bama Blossom,” in whom an old plant
er's life is bound up. There is a certaic
old colonel, a veteran of the footed
oracy, a true-hearted but illerate ole
noire, and a couple of

chaiactors, such as tl:

On Tuesday afternoon last, at
drew Chapel's, live miles north of tho
city, Mr. Charles Brady and Miss Kola
Walker, were united in marriage, K<
Mr Williamson officiating. The pretty
little church had been tastefully
ranged for the occasion ami was filled
to the door by the relatives and friends
of tho high contracting parties. Tho
attendants were Mr. Walter Hooke
Miss Baisdon, and Mr. Kd. Brady and
Miss Walker, brother and sister of the
gr 10m and bride, respectively. The fair
bride is one of Sumter’s most charming
young ladies and is very popular among
a wide circle of frionds. Tho fortunate
groom is a well known and sterling
young planter, well worthy of tho beau
tiful woman lie lias won. Bate in the
afternoon the bridal party and numer
ous friends repaired to tho home of Mr.
Brady, where an elegant repast was
served, and where joy and merriment
reigned until a late hour. Tho counle
were the recipients of many hearty
gratulations at tho hands of their

train for Buena Vista, near which pi
he was billed to spoak at noon. Few
people knew of the preseuce hero of this
bright luminary of third partyism.
There was a much hotter feeling in
the local cotton market yesterday than
for tho past several days. Prices ad
vanced all along the ' line, the market
closing a quarter better than tho day
previous. Receipts by wagon were very
good, aggregating bales for the day.
The remains of Mrs. Mary McPherson,
who died at Flowery Branch on Monday
evening, arrived here by the Central
train yesterday,and at :i o’clock won
to rest in Oak Grove Cemetery in the
presence of a large numbor of sorrowing
friends and relatives. Rev. A. M. Wil
liams, of the First Methodist church,
conducted th? burial service.
It was quietly whispered yesterday
that a marriage might take place here
today wherein Americus would lose
one of her fairest daughters to a city In
a neighboring stato.' A tinge of romance
may surround the affair, as the parents
of the fair bride-to-l>o had not beeu
suited, no far as could be learned, and
therefore may not witness the nuptials.
Mr. J. R. Williams, an Irwin county
planter, was in Americus yesterday with
a portion ot his cotton crop. He reports
good crops in Irwin and tho country be
tween there and Americus, aud the
farmers generally in good condition. IIo
is much pleased with Americus as

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Chamber
s Co.igh Kn.wndy is better than anj
other. We will tell you. When this
remedy is taken as soon as a cold has
been contracted, and before it lias be
come settled in the system, it will coun
teract the effect of the cold and greatly
lesson's its severeity, if not effectually
the cold in two day's time, and it
is tiie only remedy that will do this. It
in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, open
ing the secretions, liquifying the trucus
and causing its expulsion from the air
cells of the lungs and restoring the sys-
to a strong and healthy condition.
No other remedy in the market posaessea
these remarkable properties. No other
will cure a cold so quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition.
