A justice of the peace, who
was also a deacon, was about to
perform a marriage ceremony-
“Madam,” he said,, addressing
the bride, do you agree to take
Mr. W for your wedded hus
band?” And after the young lady
had replied in the affirmative the
justice, turning to the bride-'

THE PEOPLE’S VICTORY.
A Surprise.
A minister over in Florida
found his people too poor to buy
song books, and being offered
he books free by a pate nt medi
cine house, provided they be al
lowed to insert their advertise
ments, ordered' three dozen for
the congregation. He was ela
ted upon receivipg them to find
no ad., in the same;. The next
Sunday he distributed the. books,
telling the brethren his good
fortune,, snd requesting them-to

To the Members of Boys’ and
Girls’ School Clubs, of-
Grady County.
The overwhelming vote registered in favor of Wilson
and Marshall, and the success which attended the various
state tickets in many instances formerly staunchly repub
lican, is evidence enough that Deniocracy is the people’s
choice, and the victory is by and for the common people
of the nation.
It is a matter of congratulation for the Democrats of
the south, that at last their faithful adherence to the
cause of the people’s rights has been rewarded in victory.
The solid south has received the jeers of scorn for many
years from the great republican strongholds; but the Ca
bles have turned, and the south is now about to receive
the reward of patient adherence to a great party, and un
swerving belief in the cardinal principles of democracy.
To the Nation, and to the people at large, credit is
due for the swift awakening to the duties of their citizen
ship, and their grasp of the only means available to in
sure their righis under our form of government. Wilson
has been elected, but the fact that many states have , fal
len into the democratic column is due to the desertion of
the old party lines and traditions,- and the acceptance
of the principles of government and legislation, as out
lined by Wilson and the party principles.
Democrats have accepted a great responsibility; the
prosperity, the honor and integrity of the country will
rest in their hands. We shall expect wisdom, justice and
moderation; if our Representatives in office act thus, a
great era of prosperity and just government, for all the
people, is before us.
