One of tbe most brill-a -t social events of the season occurred iQ Fayetteville last Wednesday tveniog. The occasion was tbe celebration of the nuptials of one of Geor gia’s fairest and most gifted daughters and one of her rising aod taleoied young lawyers. At an early hour the hand-ome residence of Mr. L. F. Biahck was thronged with the i friends of tbe family, who had come to w it ness the ceremony which woaldf lose them one ol tbe brightest ornaments Middle Geoi- j gia society has ever had Tbe chandeliers lit op tbe spacious parlors with richest splendor, and shone o'er tbe assembled group with an effect that was troly enchantiog. Bright eyes met each other aod r- fleeted , back their own loveliness, and we dare say more than one luve-match will date its in ception from this happy boar. The contracting parties were Col. Claod Estes, of Gainesville, and M ss B a lock, of Fayetu-ville. Tbe bride was the picture of beauty, grace and love lines a« she walked into the room, leaning upon the arm of tbe man whom she had chosen above all others to lead her through life. The groom bore himself with that proud digoi'y and prepossessing manner which becomes him so well, and dearly evinced his con sciousness of tbe important trust which had been reposed io him . The attendants were Mr. C. Z. Blalock, of Fayetteville, and Miss Tommie Ford, of Maeoo ; Mr. O. T. Jeooings. of GainesviiJe, aod Mias Maud Bia'ock. of Fayetteville. Tbe ceremony was performed in a very impressive manner by Rev. A E. Cloud, after which tbe whole party repaired to tbe lar*e dining-hall, where a magnificent repast was spread, to which e*ery one did ample justice. Toe table was one of the hand somest and most artistically arranged that we ever saw, aod would have dooe credit to Ddmonico. Tbe presents were both rich aod elegant, and will ever be treasured by tbe bappy couple sb soaveoirs of this memorable event in tbeir live*. They were sa follow* : Silver butter-dish—Miss Tommie Ford. Silver butter-dish—C. Z. Blalock. Silver butter-dish—Mrs. Crawley. Silver napkin rings—Miss Birta Blalock. Stiver napkin ring*—O T .

To the bright young couple, who have tbas begun life so aaspici&oriy, we tender oar warmest congratulations, and trust that every day may bring flowers aod saoshioe, and happiness unbounded.

He was standing in his wagon, dirretiug some hands, when the ma.es suddenly started, throwing him out arid dislocating his atm »t the sbi‘al der joint. Dr McDonald promptly attended to him, but he is still confined to his room. Thv grand jury of 'his conniy to their te ccot presentments passed a high compliment upon our friend, M r ('. M. Spar. for tbe t fficient manner in which he has discharged hie dn'ieji as Clerk of the Superior Court Never was a compliment more deservedly bestowed. as all will testify who have v'sited his office since his initiation into public sec vice. Mr John Y. Evans, an old resident of this county, died on last Wednesday morn ! ing. He lias been help'ess for several moo'bs. and wbl'e his death was expected, it was soddeo. He was probably tbe larges' man in the county, and woo'd have weighed in the neighborhood of 350 pounds on the day of bis death. His remains were interred ai Bethany Church on Thursday. An election was held here on last TValiJ for County Commissioner, which resulted ’.a the seleciion ol Messrs. R A. Heoder-on. J. W. RoaDtree, Anbury Vk . Turner, Andrew Dick<oo and W A. Speer. Tnc vrte was not as large a- it would have been bad tbe election born more widely known. Th-' bo;ird elect i« comprised of good citsa-ns. who liave their connty’s welfare at heart, and will without doubt ably represent us. On last Friday night a week ago a remarkable n>e!eor passed over this eoautj, appearing in a roatbwesterly dinctiou. and going diagotmlly across to the northeast. Those persi-Nis who witnessed its fight give a most glowing description of its ap|>e*raDce aod beauty. About 8 o’clock, r. ■ ll ap peared near tbe western borie-'O, ar.d rose rap'dly towards tbe moon, which was ‘b ; ni‘ig in meridian splendor. Tire light was so brilliant as to eclipse the shadow# cast by the moon, throwing tbe shadows f-om an eastern inclination to a western ns it passed by. making the figures of ttees and I,ousts imaged on tbe ground by tbe moon's ray* appear to tremble as if tbe moon itself w»* in commotion. After reaching seem ingly the position of tbe moon, it diverged into two flaming bodies, moving rapid.y to the north-a»t, where both seemed to pao-e an instant, and then bora! into many sbiuing fragments. About one minute after its di appearanre a heavy distant rambling, as •' thunder, which lasted probably two minot-s was beard by many of oor people. Some assert that the windows of their houses rat tled. as if from tbe slight shock of an earth quake. Upon the whole rt was a remarkitble occorrence, and for a short time caused con siderable nneasin-sa.
