Sheriff Brewster went down to La-
Grange yesterday to get a negro want
ed here for robbing a Heard county ne
gro named J. O. Kirby on circus day of
S5U. The negro under arrest says his
name is H. Wellon, and the smooth
game he worked on the unsophistica
ted country negro would have done
credit to a New York pickpocket. He
protests his innocence, but was readily
identified by his victim, and now lan
guishes in jail.
John Henry Hines and Jim Alexan
der, both colored, now in jail on the
charge of killing. Hugh Render, also

cipal and Alexander as accessory to
the murder.

One hundred and seventeen delegates
“lined up” at the State Convention of
the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union Friday, and by ballot almost
unanimously elected Mrs. Thomas E.
Patterson, of Griffin, president for the
ensuing year. For four years she has
been the efficient vice-president, and is
thoroughly informed on every branch
of the work. Combining executive abil-
iv with personal magnetism and indom
itable energy, she is undoubtedly “the
woman for the place.” Mrs. Leila A.
Dillard was selected by her as vice-
president. Mrs. Dillard is one of the
old guard of the Georgia W. C. T.

the State. — Macon Telegraph, 10th

W. C. Stephens Gets the Buggy.
Last Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock
I. N. Orr Co. gave away their $150
buggy. The crowd present at the
drawing was estimated at twelve hun
dred. The drawing was one of the
fairest that we have ever seen. The
tickets were contained in a large hox,
securely sealed, and this was thorough
ly shaken up by two men in the crowd.
Mr. 1. N. Orr, jr.,Jgave a brief history
of the drawing, stating that during the
preceding four months the firm hud
given out nearly 70.000 tickets, each
representing a dollar purchase, either
cash or credit. The crowd was then
asked to pick five representative citi
zens, those selected being Bob Davis,
Blue Tolbert, W. L. Cruce, Frank Mer
iwether and John Howard. These, in
turn, were asked to name one to do the
drawing, and they selected Hon. B. L.
Redwine. Mr. Redwine then opened
the box and drew the first number—
A 5479—and announced that the paity
holding this ticket would be given two
weeks in which to present same. In
case the ticket should not be presented
within the time specified, then the sec
ond ticket drawn would be entitled to
the prize: and after the second fort
night had elapsed the party holding the
third ticket could claim the vehicle.
Early Monday morning all three of
the tickets were presented—the first by
W. C. Stephens, of the Fourth district;
the second by Willie Arnold, (colored),
of the Sixth district; while it was
found that Miss Mary Parrott held the
third.
The crowd seemed thoroughly satis
fied with the manner in which the
drawing had been conducted.

McCalla—Perdue.
Elberton, Ga., Oct. 19th. —Oneof the
beautiful events of the early fall was
the wedding Tuesday at high noon of
Miss Annie Allen McCalla and Mr. J.
Howard Perdue of Birmingham, Ala.,
which took place at the bride’s home,
“Oakland,” a beautiful place overlook
ing the Savannah, near Heardmont.
The house was decorated with quan
tities of white chrysanthemums, roses,
palms and Southern smilax. In the hall
way palms were used, and the base of
the stairway was banked in ferns.
The ceremony was performed in the
long drawing-room, which had an elab
orate decoration of large white chrysan
themums. These were massed the length
of the room at one side, and formed a
background for the bridal party.
Around the bride’s table, where twen
ty of the intimate friends of the bride
and groom sat, was for a centerpiece a
large heart-shaped cake, at the top of
which was placed a wedding bell circled
with garlands of lilies of the valley and
orange blossoms. Just above this hung
a great bell of chrysanthemums and
lilies.
Dr. J. II. Mashburn officiated. The
bride's sister, Miss Olivia McCalla, was
maid of honor, and Mr. W. C. Griggs,
of Birmingham, was best man. Miss
Thelma Wright and Miss Josephine Gro
gan were ribbon girls. little Miss Alice
Linder and Miss Alice Smith were
flower girls, and Master John Wayne
McCalla ring-bearer.
The bride wore an exouisite gown of
heavy white satin and cniffon, veiled in
rose point and duchess lace. Her veil
! was of point applique lace, caught to the
I hair with a horseshoe of diamonds,
j The maid of honor wore a gown of
blue messaline, and her flowers were
pink bridesmaids’ roses. Mrs. M. A.
McCalla was gowned in blue chifFon
cloth.
Mr. and Mrs. Perdue left at 1:15
o’clock for their bridal tour, and on
their return will make their home in
Birmingham.
Mr. Perdue is a man of much person
al magnetism, and is one of the brightest
young men at the Alabama bar. His
beautiful young bride, who belongs to
one of the wealthiest and most distin
guished families of South Carolina, has
been a social favorite at both American
and European resorts. Favored by
birth and wealth with all the good
things of life, few young women have
enjoyed greater social success.
Mr. Paul Maddox, an employee of
the Newnan Cotton Mills, met his death
in a tragic manner Monday night. He
was attempting to move a trunk from
an upper room of the house which he
occupied to another room on the same
floor. He got out on the roof of the
shed in order to transfer the trunk by
taking it through a window of the
room he wished to vacate and putting
it through the front window of the
room adjoining. As he pulled the
trunk on to the roof he lost his footing
and rolled off to the ground below, a
distance of twelve or fifteen feet. The
trunk followed and struck him on the
head, crushing his skull. Dr. A. A.
Barge and Dr. T. S. Bailev were sum
moned to attend the unfortunate man,
hut they could do nothing for him, and
a few hours later he died. Mr. Maddox
was married only last week, and his
tragic death was a great shock to his
young wife, as well as to everyone in
the mill community.
Intelligence is the difference between
the horse and his driver.
