* Secret Marriage at Fort Valley. Last Friday we were informed of a marriage that had been kept en tirely secrent since March 4th. On that day, at the home of Col. Louis Jj. Brown in Fort Valley, Rev. O. A. Thrower performed the ceremony that made man and wife of Mr. Jno, A Thomas and Miss. Marie Hoodlet. The people of Fort Valley were very much surprised when the mar riage was made public last Friday. The groom is a bank cashier at Adel, Ga., was born in Fort Valley and reared at Newnan. The bride is of Nelsonville, Ohio, sister of lYL rs. Clarence W. Withoft, whose husband is manager of sever al large fruit farms in Houston. Of the marraiage, the Fort Valley coroespondent of the Telegraph says: “There was no reason for keeping the marriage secret save the groom did not wish his bride, who has only recently returned from her Ohio home, to go any farther south until after the warm weather was over, and he also thought he would be transferred from Adel to one of the banks further north in a week or so, but in the latter supposition he was disappointed, as over two months elapsed ere he could come and claim his fair bride. “Both parties are well known and extremely popular here, and have the best wishes vf the entire com munity.” —Applicants for license to teach school in Houston county will be examined at Perry Saturday, June 1st.

We are inclined to think that, the farmers would like to go to grass awhile for the sake of rain. Be of good cheer, gentlemen. It missed you Sunday, but you will have an opportunity shortly and may have to stay longer than is desired. Mrs. and Miss Mary Georgia Short visited friends at Myrtle last week. Mr. George Hunt, wife and chil dren visited friends here Saturday and Sunday. An annual neighborhood picnic at the home of Mr^ Allen Todd was en joyed by about 50 people last Sat urday. An excellent dinner was served. Our amiable and efficient school superintendent was in our midst last week looking after the schools. The rain didn’t quite slight us. On Sunday night a small shower was received, which* helped considerably. It is contrary to human nature to be satisfied. . If all the wind should blow away, all the dust settle, all the rain that is necessary fall and the “brotherhood of man” be consum mated, there would be as great a di vergence between “have and want” as at present. Let us try and be satisfied, fellow and sister citizens, and not murmur at our soft lot, for such it is and no mistake. If there are any hard places in it, we are to blame, and no one else.

Parties from this place and Byron pulled out last Tuesday morning for the banks of the Ocmulgee to spend a few days trying their luck with the finny tribe and the playful squirrel, and if all reports are true (of course they are) they had great success. One of the boys complained of being all out of tune for eating; however, after the meals were cooked and de voured, the majority decided that it was a blessing bestowed upon them, as they were satisfied if he could have done with the fish. and squir rels that he wanted to do their shares would have been slim. Before leaving camp Friday morning a club was organized, and will be known as the Loving’s Lake Fishing and Hunting Club, and elected some of the best men to the most important offices: J. F.

Poor stands of -cotton and corn, but think ere the break of another moon, we will have had rain to bring it up. Grain crop very good considering the dry spell we are now having with us. Our school still, is progressive under the management of our competent instructress, Miss Ella Hancock. The music class taught by Miss Pattishall, an accomplished young lady from Unadilla, cannot be ex ceeded in the county. Rev. John Herring preached two able sermons here last Saturday and Sunday.
