Never a fairer wedding day dawned
for any bride than yesterday. It was
one of the most beautiful days of our
northern Indian summer, the sun shone
brightly, and the air was clear and in
vigorating. A large and brilliant com
pany assembled at St. John's church at
10 a. m. to witness the marriage ol Miss
Minnie Henrietta Kelly of this city,
formerly of Chicago, and Archibald
Konaldson Eldrldge of Americus, Ga,
The ceremony was performed by Itt.
Rev. P. A. Ludden, Bishop of the
Diocese of Syracuse, as a special favor
to his college friend, the bride's father.
The bridesmaids were Miss Agnes E.
Brenock and Miss Laura L. Koenig of
Chicago. Crawford Wheatley of Ameri
cus, was best man and Edward Sheehan,
Otto A. Meyor and Charles Roberts,
ushers. In tlio chancel was a lino dis
play of palms, and the altar of the
Blessed Virgin was adorned with flow
ers.
As the party entered the church the
organ played tlio Wedding March from
Lohengrin. The bride, attended by her
maids, and proceeded by the ushers,
marched to the chancel rail, where they
wore met by the groom and his best
man. The bride’s gown was of whito
satin, with long train, trimmed with
embroidered chiiTon. The white tulle
veil, which was the samo one worn by
her mother at hor marriage, was orna
mented witli orange blossoms. The
bride carried a largo bouquet of white
bride roses, and had diamond orna
ments. Tlio bridesmaids’ gowns were
of white crope do Sole, and they carried
bouquets of Katherine Mermet roses.
The ceremony was Impressive and
beautiful. Prof. George H. Fisher pre
sided at the organ, and the choir sang
naydn's mass in C, No. 2. Bishop Lud-
J den occupied a seat on his throne at the
left of the chancel. The pastor, Rev.
Dr. J. S. M. Lynch, acted as celebrant
of the mass, with Rev. Father Quinn
deacon and Rev. Father McManus sub-
deacon. Rev. Father John F. Lowery,
of Cohoc9, was also present in the sanc
tuary. Bishop Ludden assisted in the
solemn nuptial mass. At the offertory
Miss Kittle Owens sang “O Salutarls
Hostia,” by RobaudiJJolin T. Garvey
playing the violin obligato. Tne music
was beautiful.
Twice during the most solemn part of
the mass it was interrupted by the bride
and groom advancing to the the altar
where a special blessing was invoked on
thorn. This was a peculiar privilege
granted by the bishop and not often ac
corded to marriage parties.
At the conclusion of the ceromony
the bishop gavo the newly wedded hit
benediction. Mendelsohn’s wedding
march was played aa the party left the
church.
Immodiatoly after the ceremony
wedding breakfast was given at the resi
dence of the bride’s parents, No. 2 Com
stock placo.
The bride is the accomplished daught
er of Martin W. Kelly, of the firm of
Sheehan & Kelly. Although most of her
life has been spent in Chicago she has
made very many friends during her
comparatively brief residence in this
city. The groom is a son of Dr. and
Mrs. Erwin J. Eldridgo, of Americus,
Ga., and by profession a civil engineer.
Ho is indeod to bo congratulated on se
curing so winsomo a brido. The Kelly
residence was tastefully decorated by
Florist Matthews. Tho mantels wero
banked with American beauty roses,
Graco Wilder carnations and maiden
hair ferns, while tho doors and windows
were festooned with sniilax. The wed
ding breakfast was served by Catorer A,
L. Gwens.
Among tho guests from out of town
were Dr. and Mrs. Erwin J. Eldridge of
Americus; Mrs. Morgan Eldridge and
daughter; Miss Hawley of Philadelphia;
Mrs. E. S. Bowen, Oswego; Bishop Lud
den and "all the clergymen who had been
present at tlio marriage service. The
gifts to tlio hrido were numerous and
very handsome, and a very large number
of congratulatory telegrams was re
ceived.
Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge left for a wed
ding trip to New York and Philadeljhia.
They will bo at homo at 70;i Lee street,
Americus, Ga., after October 15. The
best wishes of hosts of friends iu all
parts of tho country will go with them
on tlicir journey through life.—Utica

yesterday evening on tlio S. A. & M.
road from New Yolk; and tlio many
friends of the family will bo ploased to

IN DELIRIUM.
A Man Stricken With Paver, Leaves Bit
Bad and Wanders Into the Woods.
Atlanta, October 8.—Friday last Mr.
George McMillan, who works at the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
shops, was taken sick with typhoid
fever.
Last night, In a delirium of fever, he
wandered from home, and hatless, bare-
foot, without coat oi rest and with wide
open, staring eyes, ho wandered through
the streets and on into tiie woods.
Crazed by the fever he frightened
many, and caused all who saw him to be
filled with terror.
His family and friends, no less terror-
ized at his absence, organized a search
ing party, and after many anxious hours
found him entirely without his senses in
the woods near Atlanta.
A peculiar case that may end in sad
ness to those who know the man.
When taken ill Mr. McMillan went to
his home at No. 5 Rockwell street,
where he lives with bis wife and chil
dren. Dr. Childs was called in and be
gan treatment for the fever.
The attack was severe, and soon delir
ium aamc on. He was a very sick man,
and friends assisted the wife and family
in nursing him.
Last night friends remained with him
until 12 o'clock when they wero rjlieved
by Mrs. McMillan. She was to have the
watch alone till morning.
Worn out by loss of sleep and constant
care, her husband being quiet, sleep
ovorcame her and before 10 o’clock she
was dozing iu her chair. In a little
while she awoke and glanced at the bed
to see tiie condition of her husband.
To hor amazement ho was nowhere to
he seen. There was no one in the room
but herself.
Thinking that he had gone into an
other room she searched the house, but
did not find him. Her alarm increased
and awakening tlioso in the house, the
search was continued out into the yard.
Not finding him there, people became
terrified. All manner of suppositions
were raised. If ho had wandered off in
deliilum lie might accidentally kill
himself; and if not, the exposure would
certainly make Ills condition much

Beaolutlona of Condolence.
At a meeting of the Farmere’ Alliance of
Sumter county, October 10,1831, the follow
ing resolution wna pasted:
Teaolved, That we deeply sympathize with
our worthy Vice-President B. A. Rag, In hie
recent sad afnietloo, and we bespeak for him
and hl» little ones the guidance and protec
tion and consolation of that Providence who
has seen beet to visit this severe affliction
upon them.
Resolved, That we reqnsat the publication
ot the above resolution In Tan Tinse-Rs-
cosdbs, and a oopy be sent to Rev, R. A.
Bay. J a*. A. Wilson,
Seeratary S.C.F. A.
Neighbors were hurriedly informed
and a searching party organized. By this
mo it was 3 o’clock.
Tlio party separated and in all parts
of tho city looked for the missing man.
This morning about 8 o’clock, a work
man at the homo of Mr. Sherman was
seon, who put them on tho track of
McMillan.
The workman stated that early this
morning a man walked aimlessly
through tiie yard. He was barefoot,
hatless, without coat or vest, his hair
straggling, his eyes sunken and staring,
and bearing all the evidences of a man
perfectly wild.
To the workman he mado one or two
rambling, peculiar remarks and then
wandered out into the woods.
The workman was badly frightened
and bad not been able to find out who
the man was.
The party went in tho direction point
ed out, and entered Sherman's wood.
For a long time they wore unsuccessful
in finding anything, but finally saw the
sick man standing under a tree and
gazing upward, his eyes being perfectly
vacant.
Going to him, ho failed to recognize
any, but went with thorn without a word.
A vehicle was engaged and ho was rap
idly carried to bis home.
He knew nothing of what ho was
doing or had done, and has not yet come
to his senses. Exposure and great exer
tion in ills weak condition hnve caused
him to be much worse, and ho is now
vory low.
His dolirium continuos, and for the
presont ho is ontiroly out of his senses.
His family and friends are terribly
shocked, and are full of anxiety about
his condition.
It was a peculiarly distressing occur
rence, and may end in more sadness.
There is consultation among some of
our enterprising business men concern
ing the incorporation of a company to
engage in cotton manufacturing, and if
ihe project bo carried out it will mean a
great deal to tiie prosperity of Amorims.
Situated as we are in tho heart of the
cotton section and with cheap labor and
ample transportation facilities there is
no reason why such enterprise should
not prove profitable to its projectors
Columbus and Augusta both owe the
greater part of tire prosperity which lias
come to them to their factories, and in
few cases has the erection of this in
dustry entailed a loss upon the owners.
Especially profitable is said to he the
spinning of cotton yarns. The machinery
required is simple and comparatively in
expensive. while the product commands
ready sale at steady figures. Its manu
facture does not demand the skilled
labor required In the production
of the fabrics, and the machinery can bo
mainly operated by children. There are
many of these - factories in tiie south,
especially in North Carolina, of limited
capital, and almost without exception
they are earning large dividends. In
regard to the establishment of a man
ufactory for tho production of yarns
only is merely a suggestion in case a
larger enterprise is impracticable. Such
an industry in our midst would material-
'y aid in tlio steady progress of Ameri
cus, and would give employment to a
considerable number of that class of
people who in other brandies find it im
possible to get work.

An Unexpected Death#
On Sunday afternoon, at 1:30, Mrs.
Otis Gutlirio departed this life at tlio
residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. XI.
U. Kimball. Mrs. Guthrie, whose maiden
namo was Emma Allein I.isk, was a na
tive of Peoria, IU., and graduated witli
distinction at tho State Normal Univer
sity in Bloomington, Ill., where slio re
ceived an education, tlio thoroughness
of which was only realized by tlioso who
had become intimate with tier. She was
especially well versed in the languages,
and tho height of her ambition was to
lit herself to fill a chair of languages in
some institute of learning.
Mrs. Gutlirio taught throughout the
last year at tho Americus public schools,
giving such perfect satisfaction that she
was re-elected. Site was unable to fill
her appointment, however, on account
of being attacked with typhoid fever,
which, though lasting tour weeks, even
up to the last there was every hope for
her to recover from.
The funeral services were held at her
home, tho Episcopal rites being used by
their lay reader, Mr. 8. 8. Shipps, after
which the pall-bearer*, Messrs. Ilarrold,
Coleman, Nicholson, Snyder, Nenrick

From our own Correspondent.]
The past three weeks have put an en
tirely different prico on tho value of cot
ton.
On August 17 the then current month
was quoted at 4 22-04 witli spots at
4 28434 on a sick market.
That dato would appear to have seen
the lowest prico to which tho articlo was
likely to go for some time to come.
Bad or rather unfavorable crop reports
were being secured in volume, and the
upward movemont was assisted by tho
free buying of our spinners. This cod
tlnued until 5 8-04 was reached for Jan
uary and February delivery of middling
on September 7. Up to this point senti
ment carried all before it—in the ab
sence of any weakness from America.
Since that date the market gave way
through tho want of support from the
trade and the American markets.
Bureau. We expected a 70-80 condi
tion, instead of which wo got 82 3-4,
America sinks and Liverpool opened
3-64 (0-100) lower upon which a demand
to cover contracts on the late selling
caused a recovery of 54) points. The
question will vory naturdlly arise as to
tho prico that Europe will pay during
this season. Lost seasons "averago”
was 5 1-32 for middling on a crop of
8,000,000. Of this we may say that
000,000 bales will at sometime come into
the present crop, as bciog now unsold.
So that assuming that this crop will
only roach 7,400,000, the supply from its
predecessor will bring it up to
something in the neighborhood of 8,000,-
000, and if 1880-00 crop left us a surplus,
out of 7,303,000, of 200.000 bales, wo may
fairly oxpoct lower prices in February,
assuming that only the presont condition
is maintained. Should crop accounts
improve wo may oxpoct somo heavy
selling for the spring months. Trade in
Lancashire for tlio moment is good.
Finance at present is not as good as
migiit bo expected, and politics on the
continent of Europo arc unsettled and so
far tlicro has been vory littlo or no sell
ing against tills crop.
There is, however, ono very Important
feature which can not be overlooked aud
that is that cotton at a low price can he
finnneed in greater voluino than when at
a high price and there are times when
tho outside public come in on the article
as an investment.
