ITleet the Requirements.
The town that fails to m*pt the
requirement of its citizens and
others who have business dealings
therein, stops far short of the suc
cess that is clearly attainable.
The citizens claim for Perry
most excellent characteristics, and
their claims are well founded. Yet
onr people do not meet all the re
quirements.
Within the last two months
four families desired to rent dwell
ing houses here, but there were
none for rent; and there are none
for rent now.
On account of this failure to
meet the requirements, at least
two families live elsewhere who
wonld have become citizens of
Perry.
There is no lack of land within
limits upon which dwelling houses
could be erected. There are many
men in the town who are financial
ly able to build such houses. The
rental of such houses would pay
good interest on the money invest
ed. Every new citizen adds the
cost of his living to the commer
cial business of the town.
Several years ags an Improve
ment Association was organized,
but it didn’t transact any business.
Such an association would be de
cidedly useful in meeting the re-
buirements of a growing and pros
perous town.
In point of climate, society,
church and school privileges, Per
ry is unsurpassed, but there are
other things necessary to make the
town all that it should be in busi
ness affairs and material progress-
We mention the need of dwell
ing houses as only one illustration
of the fact that loss surely follows
fhe failure to meet therequirments
of the situation.

Monthly League Meeting.
A Gretna Green Marriage.
There was a marriage at the
court house in Perry last Monday
that had not been previously an
nounced.
Directly after the arrival of the
afternoon train a neatly dressed
couple walked quietly into the
court house aud inquired for the
Ordinary. A marriage license was
procured, and then in the presence
of several lawyers and several oth
er witnesses, Judge A. C. Riley
performed the ceremony that made
man and wife of Mr. L. H. Coop-
er and Miss Jennie Berry.
After the marriage a carriage
was secured, and Jndge Riley ac
companied the happy conple in a
drive over the town, and then to
the depot. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper
left Perry on the 4:45 train for
Macon, where they will make their
future home.
It was a runaway marriage, the
bride beiug from Birmingham, Ala.
and the groom from Macon.
Some time ago, the groom, who
a boilermaker by trade, was in
bnsiness at Birmingham bat af
terward went to Macon. They
met by agreement at Fort Yalley,
bat as license could not be secured
there they came to Perry.
The groom is a widower, about
35 years old, and the bride men
tioned 21 years as her age.
It was unquestionably a run
away marriage, there being objec
tion on the part of the mother of
the bride.

gram was very short.
With Miss Mary Cooper at the
piano, all joined in singing “Show
ers of Blessings.”
President Martin read for a
Scripture lesson the 91st Psalm.
Rev. T. W- Darley prayed an ear
nest prayer in our behalf.

of Misses May Hodges, Carrie

chairman to select her|own commit
tee to make and distribute badges,
also to decorate the church.

Death near Heard.
On Wednesday, September 14tb,
Dr. T. G. Champion, died at the
home of Mrs. M. R. Stripling, near
Heard.
We are not informed as to how
long he had been ill.
The body was carried to Craw-
ford county and there interred in
the family burial ground.
Dr. Champion went to the Heard
neighborhood last March from
Crawford county, and engaged in
the practice of medicine. He
proved himself an excellent phy
sician, and gained by his splendid
qualities the friendship of all with
whom he became acquainted. As
a citizen and physician he was
held in the highest esteem, aud it
was his intention to move his fami
ly to the Heard neighborhood next
winter.
He was about 44 years old, and
leaves a wife and two young daugh
ters, with whom many friends sin
cerely sympathise in their sore be
reavement.

Houston’s Vote.
There are only 990 men in Hous
ton county entitled to vote in the
state and county election on Wed
nesday the 5th day of October
next. Qf these 926 arc white and
only 64 colored.
If Honston candidates only were
to be effected by the size of our
vote, there would be no need for a
fuli vote, bat there are others.
There is populist opposition
to the state ticket, and Houston
democrats owe it as a duty to the
state and democracy to add,as
much as possible to the majority
for Gov. Candler, and the other
worthy democrats ou the ticket.
Then, our candidate for state sena
tor may be in positive need of onr
support. Mr. Steed lives in a
county where the populists are in
the majority—Taylor. In Craw-
