XV. H. Scruggs, officiating. It was a runaway match. It seems that Miss Driggers lives near Blackslicar, but at the time of the elope ment was visiting Mrs. Middleton, a rel ative, at Johnson station. The old folks, a step-father being among the number, were opposed to Mr. Sharpe, but the girl was true, and yesterday morning the young couple, accompanied by Mrs. Middleton, arrived in Wayeross. License was procured, Mr. Scruggs was sent for, aud at 9:30 o’clock the young couple were married. Mrs. Middleton returned home last until it dm rays of the t The obsei ghtcr on tho Tallahassi not notice any formation of letters con veying strange signs and warnings, as detailed in the reports sent out from North Carolina points. C;\pt. Doughty, of the Desoug, which jvas about an hour behind the Tallahas see, noticed a curling cloud of smoke in the sky at daybreak in the direction which the meteor is said to have taken. The only explanation offered of the unusual length of time of which the tail of the meteof [remained visible, is that its flight was high enough above the earth for the clouds of gas or smoke which it cast off to catch and reflect] the rays of the sun then rising above the LESSE OF THE Satilla Manufacturing Go., 'ViT'ctyox’cssiB, C3 eol’gia.
