A BRILLIANT WEDDING
j In Which Henry and Pike Counties
are Joined by Silken Ties.
Wednesday afternoon, at one o’clock,
; a large and fashion able assembly filled
i the Baptist church to witness the wed
ding ceremony which united Mr. (’has.
P. Jordan, of .Molena, and Miss Cora
L. Kimbell, of McDonough.
This wedding was one looked for
ward to with great interest by our
young people, as two young people—
one of w hum was known and admired by
all—had plighted ilieir troth to the
other.
The public marriage of Miss Kim
bell at the church was bailed with
much pleasure as affording an oppor
tunity of “tirsting the very great ap
preeiation and esteem iu which she was
held bv her many friends. Young and
old turned out to witness the bridal
nuptials of this young lady —who is one
of society’s fairest daughters.
Within the church all was brilliancy
and beauty. Wa found tha' tbe floral
kingdom bad paid generous end willing
tribute to this pleasant and interesting
j occasion. The church was bedecked
with garlands of evergreen, into which
were woven, with artistic effect, white
and red roses. Near the altar, reach
ing across both aisles, was a beautiful
floral arch ; and just under this arch, at
the termination of the aisles were two
gates made of brilliant flowers and
feathery ferns; while smpended just
over the altar was a wedding bell.
The wedding party entered tbe
church as the soulful melody of
the wedding march pealed forth from
coruett and organ uuder the magic
touch of Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Nolan.
The bridal procession as it passed
down the aisle- was a panorama of bril
liant and glowing colors. The brides
maids weie ali of them women of rare
grace and loveliness, and their trailing
robes and gorgeous floweis lent to them
a perfection of grace rarely seen.
The ushers were :
Mr. J. B. Newman and Mr. Lemuel
< ’armicluiel.
The attendants came down the aisles
in the following order :
E F. Adams and Miss Kallie Tom
liuson.
G. E. Knott and Miss L’arrie Du
pree.
T. J Brown and Miss Lizzie Brooks.
Immediately proceeding the bride
and groom came little Misses Cora
Betts and Estelle Kimbell who threw
the gates ajar foi the party to pass,
wdffle following in their wake were
tvyo winsome little girhs. Misses
Lois Dickson and Annie Lou ( ope
land scattering flowers from two dainty
baskets.
The bride, accompanied by her maid
of honor, Miss Leola Brown, proceed
ed down the right aisle, and were im
mediately followed by tbe groom and
bis best man, Mr. W. 11. Mitchell.
Passing under the arch and through
the floral gates they stopped just under
the marriage bell, and there the sol
emu nuptial vows were takeu that
made them man and wife.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. W. 11. Prichard, of Gritfiu, in a
most impressive and beautiful niaiinei.
The arrangements were entirely af
ter the English fashiou, and were as
graceful and effective a 9 they were
unique,
Mr. Jordan comes into our midst a
stranger, yet we feel sure that he is
eminently worthy of the lovely bride
lie lias won, and that as tbe husband of
Miss Kimbell’s choice, he is a gentle
man of honor, refinement and position.
All hearts unite and go out in a gener
ous and tender glow of interest in be
half of the newly wedded pair.
We t ust that they may encounter
naught but favoring gales and prosper
ous breezes in their voyage on the
ocean of life, and finally that they may
find a safe and happy anchorage in the
haven of rest.
Just as we were going to press we
learned of the mairiage of Mr. S. E.
Smith to Miss Ola B. Fargason, at the
residence of the bride’s father, Mr.
R. H. Fargason, on the evening of tbe
24tl inst, Rev. John E Rosser offi
ciating. Both of tbe young people
were members of the best families in
McMullen’s district. Owing to the
'ateness of the hour we are unable to
give a full account of this happy affair
in this issue, but promise a more ex
tended one in our next.

ALMOST GOT OUT.
Prisoners Make an Attempt to Break
Jail, But are Prevented by
Timely Discovery,
The prisoners of Henry county jail
were very near escape last Saturday.
They have been secret.y at work, it
is not known how long, and would have
been out in a short while longer, if not
discovered just when they were
On last Saturday morning, after a
clever piece of strategy, the fact was
discovered that lor some time several
of the prisoners, it was not known
who, had been working with tools and
were nearly ready to break out.
It was found that four bars of the
iron cage had been cut nearly through,
and a search revealed two or three new
files and a saw all of which were well
nigh worn out from use. Owing to
the supposed absolute salety oi the
cage, such a thing as escape was not
to be considered after a prisoner was
in it, and they had no difficulty to keep
the tools hid when not at workJ
Each prisoner denied any knowledge
of the tools or worjt, and it is impos
sible to ascertain who did it cr how
they proctfted them.
Sheriff Glass made another search
next day, and as he was about leaving
without finding anything further, he
accidentally thrust his hand up a flue
just outside of the bars-and discovered
two more files in some rags. Suit will
be seen that the prisoners were well
supplied ami with but a little more
time would have sueceded in escaping
from one of the safest jails to be found
anywhere
Hinty county has a wriiten gjaran
tee from the company furnishing it
that this cage is absolutely saw and
tile proof. Hence tbe news of this so
nearly successful escape created much
surprise. Sheriff Glass has communi
cated to the company what lias been
done, with a demand to rectify, and the
result is awaitt d with interest, r
Tbe question is, was the job in our
jail a defective one, or is it simply that
prisoners canuot be put behind bars
where escape is impossible ?
Col. Zacliry for Governor.
Henry county may furnish tbe lißxt
Governor of Georgia.
Who knows ?
The Atlanta Journal says “State
Senator Zaeliry, of Henry county, is
mentioned by many prominent alliance
men as the next candidate of the far
mers for Govenor.”
And just here we will guy to our
home alliance friends, why not.,, urge
him for the race P
Ol Zachry lias not only made alli
ance fritnds over Georgia, but has nu
merous war comrades throughout the
State who are warm admirers ami
would be glad to see him elevated to
any position.
He gained much popularity also with
his colleagues in the halls of legisla
tion, and would doubtless derive a
hearty support from that direction.
In short, he has more claims to the
gubernational chair than many less
prominent names that are mentioned
Then, why not his friends see that
lie is brought out ?
Here’s for Henry county to be in
tbe race for Governor—and to win.

Mr. W. *F. Hillej requests The
Weekly to warn the public against
tbe peddlers now infesting the county.
He states that they are loathsome, as
several of his neighbors have, after
lodging them over night, been compell
ed to burn bedd'ng to i id it of p.vetli •»
menli (or, in plain English, body lice)
distributed by them. Mr. Hilley’s ad
vice is to shun these peddlers, as they
are a worthless vagabond set, with
whom it is dangerous to come in con
tact.
