Many of the friends of Miss Callre
Coney and Mr. George Oliver will be
treated to a pleasant surprise this morn ■
ing at the announcement of their mar
riage last evening, the happy event
taking place at the home of Capt. and
Mrs. P. C. Clegg, on Lee.
Only a few very intimate friends
witneBsedthe marriage.
The engagement of the two bad been
known for several weeks past, and ii
was expected that the wedding would
occur early in Jane. Thus it was
pleasantly anticipated.
Yesterduy, however, the yonng peo
ple decided to defer no longer the hap •
py day, so last night, at the home of
the bride's annt, Mrs. Clegg, where
she was visiting for a time, the rites
were solemnized by Bev. B. L. Bivins
in presence of a few friends.
And never was there a happier blend
ing of lives and hearts.
The pretty bride is the yonngest
daughter of Col. Sam W. Coney, of
Dooly county, and was a favorite so-
cialled in Americas. Possessed of re
finement and all those qnalities that go
to oomposo true womanhood, she easi
ly made and retained warm friendships.
Mr. Oliver is one of Americas’ best
known, and most successful yonng
bnBiness men. Genial and popnlar
always, he well deserves the beantifnl
bride be has won.

Rumored Shooting of Americas Man
Elsewhere.
A baseless rumor gained enrreney
|yesterday to tho effect that a well
[known resident of Americas, sow
away temporarily, had been shot while
engaged in an altercation with a negro.
There were bnried in Maoon yes
terday two of her most venerable and
respeoted citizens, Mr. James G. Mc
Crary and Col. J. G. Ooklngton, who .
passed away the day before, the former
atthe advanced age of 81 years and the
latter ten years hie junior.
The death of these two aged gentle
men causes much regret in Amerious,
both having bean residents of the oity
and well known here.
Mr, MoOrary resided here for many
years and la remembered by all of the
older oltlzens. Hie home, jast beyond
Mackalee creek, is still one of the
landmarks of the connty,and he reared
a large family there.
Many relatives of this venerable
man still reside in Amerioue.
He was for quite a while a practicing
pbysiolan of Maoon, a man of noble
qnalities and a Christian gentleman In
every sense.
Ool. Ookinton, whose death ooonrred
abont the same time, resided in Amer
icas a short while only, thongh former
ly owning a plantation near hwo
where mnoh of his timo was spent. He
wob very wealthy, a bachelor, and ■
very agreeable old gentleman. _
Ho was by profession a lawyer. He
was a native of New Hampshire, but
Borvod with distinction through the
war as a Confederate soldier.
EVERY COMPANY OF REGIMENT
Americas Man Scoops a Fortune In
Peaches.
Denizens of Cotton avenue, particu
larly thoee who doze in tbe shadows
of the warehouses, have for a week
missed the genial presence of Colonel
Oliver, bat not antil yesterday did
dil'gent and persistent inquiry among
hie friends develop hie whereabouts.
JubI now the Colonel la making goo
goo eyes at one Elborta.

Leesbarg, at a plaeo called Century,
thongh the nomenclature is not In any
wise suggested by a list of the Col
onel’s happy birthdays.
Bnt Elborta i> there; at least she
will be soon, and Col. Oliver will coart
both her end Dame Fortnne wher. the
ann has kissed blushes upon the cheeks
of the former. He will woo and win
her, and in her possession will seonre
tbe other coveted dame, too.
For Ool. Oliver ie in the orahard
this year, aud to make money.
Down at Century Is a vast orchard of
the finest peach trees, among them the
Elberte, the Georgia Belle and other
varieties whioh go to make glad the
heart of the yank.
Ool. Oliver is interested in this or
chard, and oalonlateathat shipments of
frnitthls year will net him a Klondike.
He is on the spot, and there will keep
an eagle eye upon fair Elberta until
thtf shipping season early In July sends
bar tripping northward.
Odt Oliver’s Amerious friends will
hope that hie peaoby dreams of fortnne
may be {ally realized.

Judge Charges That Players Violate
Gaming Laws.
While progressive enebre has ever
been a favorite pastime among many
of the eoelety women of Amerions, es
pecially where card parties are the oc
casion, a quietus has been pnt upon
t among the faireuohreltesof Thomas-
ville in a rather eensational charge to
the grand jury made by Judge Fite a
day or two ago. Judge Fiteinetrueted
that where prizes were awarded In
games of euobre.even'though tbe play
ers were the first ladies of the laud, it
was gambling pnre and simple, and in
dictments should follow. This charge
of tne court has created a profound
sensation there, end quilting bees will
now be the fashionable sport, most
likely.
MONSTER FLAG WAVING NOW.
Another Old Glory Hoisted Over Our
Schools.
The largest United States flag ever
displayed iu Amerions was hoisted over
Farlow Sohool yesterday by Prof. J. E.
Mathis, superintendent of the public
schools, The flag is a new one, and ia
fifteen feet in length by eight feet in
width, end standing out majestically
