A very interesting Missionary servici
was held in the Methodist Church on
ast Sunday night. The pieces read were
ine. The readers were Misses Lula Mur
phy, Mittie Myers and Ola Flanders.
I'he recitations were by Masters Willie
I'hornton, Dupont Murphy, Carl Murphy
nd Willie Seovill and Miss Jewel Mur
>hy. These little folks acquited them
selves with credit. The address by Mrs.
J. H. Smith was fine. It was full oi
acts, statistics and argument. It cer
ainly ought to stir the hearts of tin
Christian workers of Ellaville and add
argelv to the members of th
different societies, for the promotion o
good, that are in this place.
Quite a brilliant wedding took place

o Mrs. Geo. T. Walker of this county
tnd the groom, Mr. S. Lambert Jones, is
i member of the firm of W. H. Jones –
3ro., of Columbus. The dinner is said
o have been all that an epicure could
vish and the presents were nutnerou
nd costly. Our friend Geo. T. was
here in all his glory and had his better
mlf along to look after him. The young
voyagers on the sea of matrimony have
he best wishes of the News.
Now and then a tramp passes through
■egging for something to eat. Our cit
zens ought to have a woodpile of good
easoned oak and hickory and when an
ble bodied man. who is just as able to
urn a living as any of us are, let him
■ <rn his dinner by swinging a dub-axe
i while. If a man is honest and worthy
le will not object to earning his bread.
r lie is not honest it is no credit to any
one to feed a worthless tramp, whose
msiuess it is to dead-beat the world.
Our former townsman, Mr. Freeland
I. Scarborough, was married last night
« ) Mist. Mamie Brown, at the residence
if the bride, near Milledgeville. Dr.

Fhe numerous friends of the groom ex
nd him a cordial welcome and wish
iim and his chosen companion long life

For the third time the people of Stew
art county said they do not want whisky
sold among them, last Tuesday. A big
effort was made by Hie whisky men,
money was spent freely and no stone
was left unturned to bring the accursed
stuff back, but to ho avail. And now
we hope they will be spared the ex
pense and confusion of another elec
lion on the subject many years, Tlie
good jjeople of Stewart county ought to
stand nobly by brother Latimer, of th
Lumpkin Independant, He made a
manly fight and lias necessarily made
enemies. They should see that lie does
not suffer loss. They should mo-e than
in a ice good all losses he has sustained.
He has stoo l by them and they should
stand by him with a large patronage.—
