Yours for business, ..THORNTON WHEATLEY. 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.

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 4 GOOD MOVE ff CARRIED TO A SUCCESSFUL COM PLETION. The Probable Organization of a Stock Company for the Manufacture of Cotton Fabrlca—The Immense Benefits Accru ing From Such Enterprise. 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.

FRICKER, PRESIDENT OF 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 and Bitien placed the embalmed re mains on the ears and sent them to Bloomington, HI., where they will be Interred in the family lot in Evergreen cemetery.

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.
