OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.'
Beyond donbt the Perry Public
School is on the up grade, and is
progressing. In curriculum and
management it- will deservedly
take rank with the best high
schools in the state..
Prof. E. E. Miller is competent
and ambitions, and is working zeal
ously to make a name for onr
school that will extend far beyond
the confines of onr county.
The assistants, Miss Gordon and
Mrs. Bonn, are entirely worthy of
the positions they occupy,and they
ably second every effort of Prof.
Miller to elevate the school in the
estimation of pupils, patrons and
the public generally.
There is no tuition, only a nom
inal incidental fee.
In addition to the regular school
course, admirably graded, ample
and convenient opportunity is giv
en the pupils for instruction
music, drawing and painting. The
teachers of mnsic and art are thor-
oughly competent—eqaal to any in
the state outside the finishing col
leges.
Good board with private fami
lies in the town can be procured at
low rates.
The town is noted for its good
water, general healthfnlness, most
excellent society and superior
church facilities.
Altogether, the advantages offer
ed by ibis school are unexception
al, and pupils should be attracted
here from other points»where equal
facilities are not offered.
The school is managed by a
board of trustees under a special
and Mr. R. N. Holtzclaw,

A Delightful Occassion.
One of the nicest social events
of the season was the party at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. T.
Hurst last Friday night
The party was given in honor of
Mr. J. M. Neil, of Bois City, Ida
ho, who is a nephew of Mr. Horst.
Iu addition to the, yoaug ladies
and gentlemens of Perry, a num
ber of young ladies from Fort Yal
ley and other points were special
guests of the occasion, namely,
Misses Hattie Neil, Ammabelie
Cooner, Maggie Bikes, Alice Slap-
py, Bnelah Slappy, of Fort Yalley,
Miss Jessie Walters, <?f J Albany,
and Miss Emma Hyslop, of Pine
Blnff, Arnansas. The social fea
tures of the occassion were all
that could be desired, and thor
oughly enjoyed by all.
When supper was announced,
the.guests marched out to the mn
sic of a delightfal- march, beauti
fully rendered by Miss Bertha
Burnam, sister of Mrs. Hnrst. The
refreshments, dainty and appetiz
ing, were elegantly served, as is
characteristic tof the hostess.
On the loth of November Mr.
H. E. Murray, of the Oak Grove
neighborhood, narrowly escaped
death by a peculiar accident. He
was duck hnuting with other gen
tlemen at Mr. A, J. Houser's inili
pond. Standing near the pond, his
gnn was held with his left hand,
the butt resting upon the groand.
A dog that was with the party fa
miliarly approached Hr. Murray
and placed his front feet on that
gentlemans breast. As .Mr. Hun
ray pushed him down, the dog’s
feet strnck heavily against one
hammer of the gnn, forcing it
back. When this pressure was re
moved, the hammer fell upon the
cap with sufficient force to explode
the charge. The shot tore through
Mr. Murray’s coat and vest, cut-
tiug the skin several inches on his
left breast. The clothing caught
fire and some quick work was done
amid decided consternation. It was
a narrow escape indeed. Had the
gnn muzzle been an inch nearer
the middle of the breast, death
would have been certain.
Mr. Murray has determined that
he will be more particular how he
holds his gun hereafter, when a
frisky dog is about.

HAPPILY UNITED.
SAULS-WRIGHT.
A Romantic Marriage.
.From the Atlanta Constitution
we learn that Mr. David H. Hous
er, of Fort Yalley, was married in
Atlanta on Sunday-, November 28,
to Mrs. Ella E. Wilson,of that city.
The Constitution fnrther tells
ns the’marriage was the direct re
suit of an advertisement for a wife
placed in that paper several weeks
before. Mrs. Wilson answered the
advertisement, aud coupled with
the correspondence, Jir. Houser
visited Atlanta several trmes, and
then the marriage was happily con
summated.
The Home Joubnal-joins the
friends of Mr. Houser here in ex
tending cordial congratulations and
best wishes for fature happiness
and prosperity.
Lest Tuursday afternoon, at
2:30 o’clock-, Mr. E. W. Sauls led
Mrs.3 Louisa M. Wright into the
parlor of Mr. J. M. Heard, and
there they were united by the
bonds of'marriage, Justice Heard
officiating in a most elegant and
appropriate style.
The bride and groom are both
of this community, and they have
host of friends who witnessed
their marriage and who wish them
well.
The attendants were Miss Jennie
Sauls with Mr. Jim Carney, and
.Miss Mattie Stripling with Mr.
George Hunt. After receiving
hearty congratulations, Mr. and
Mrs. E. W. Sadis left immediately

On the evening of Nov. 30ih,
1S92, the Hickory Grove church
was filled to its utmost capacity
with The friends of Miss Minnie
Davis and Dr, J. O. Mann, who
were there united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Rev. J. B.
McGehee performed the ceremony
in his usual happy style.
The’ gifted organist, Mrs. Carrie
B. Pool, presided, and under her
skillful touch the beautiful wed
ding march was sounded-at eight
o’clock. The bridal party, headed
by the ushers, Messrs. J. J. Smith
and Holland Laidler, filed down
"the aisles. Then came the attend
ants, Mr. E. M. Clark and Miss
Janie Means, of Elko; Mr. J. H.
King, of Perry, and Miss Emily
Lane, of Atlanta; Mr. J. R. Gaines,
of Elko, and Miss Viola Buff, of
Hickory Grove; Mr. W. H. Harri
son, of Grovania, and Miss Zeph
Pate, of Unadilla; Mr. C. R. Davis;
of Albany, and Miss Annie Nor
wood, of Perry; Mr. E. A. Pound,
of Elko, and Miss Jennie. Powers,
of Perry. Then the bride, with
Miss Jessie May "Walters, of Alba
ny, the maid of honor, and the
groom, with his brother as best
man.
The bridal party arranged them
selves inside the chancel, the bride
and groom standing just in front
of the assembled friends under aB
evergreen canopy, from which was
suspended by bands of white satin
ribbon two hearts of p bite and pink
rosebuds. The church was beau
tifully decorated with cedar, palms,
holly, palmetto aud magnolia foli
age, which'was arranged by the ar
tistic bands of Miss Lon Grace
and Mrs. Wm. Pace, of Albany.
Directly after the ceremony the
bride and'groom left the church,
followed by the attendants and
ushers to the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. W. R. Davis, parents of the
bride, where they were met and
congratulated by a large number
of friends and relatives.
Here the cordial hospitality of
the genial host and hostess was
shown to advantage throughout
the reception. The refreshments
were-served daintily and elegantly,
as only Mrs. .Davis can do.
The floral decorations at the res
idence were exceedingly elaborate,
and produced a lovely effect. The
broad hall and stairway were beau
tifully garlanded and festooned
In the parlor were choice cat flow
ers and growing plants, permeating
the air with fragrance, which only
sweet nature can impart. Palms,
magnolia, bamboo, ivy and travel
ing vines completed the decora
tions of the other rooms, aud as
viewed by the brightly burning
lights which flooded the spacious
rooms with soft brilliancy, and un
der the influence of the occasion,
made the decorations beautiful be
yond expression.
The bride was very lovely, ar-
tired in a princess robe of white
silk, with bertha of exquisitely
embroidered chiffon. Over the en
tire dress fell in gt'acefu 1 folds the
long’veil of white tulle, which was
fastened above her brow with a
cluster of orange blossoms. In her
hand she ^carried a lovely bouquet
of white japonicas and maiden hair
ferns. The only ornament was a
chain of the purest gold with heart
pendantf in the center- of which
was a single pearl. This was the
gift of the happy bridegroom. All
the bridesmaids were beautifully
attired in toilets of pink, except
the maid of honor, who wore white
silk and chiffon.
The presents were numerous,
useful and beautiful, and are suf
ficient testimony of the high re
gard in which the bride and groom
are held.
The groom is a talented young
physician, and is deservedly popu
lar among his many friends. The
bride is the only daughter of. Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Davis. She is a
charming and accomplished, young
lady,and by her many sweet graces
has endeared to her a large circle
of both 1 old and young friends, who
sincerely wish that all the future
of the twain so happily - made one
may be bright with the fnllest re
alization of. their fondest. hopes,
and that the love, beauty and hap
piness which marked their wed
ding may be a congenial thread
constituting the web o? their fu
ture life.
