On last Sunday afternoon,at about 2 o clock, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. - . J. ©. Sande- fur, their youngest daughter, Miss Etta, was married to Mr. Dent Har rison, of Musella. Under the^sweet strains of the wedding march, played by Mrs. 0. M. Heard of Vienna, the bridal par ty came in the parlor as follows: Mr. Tomi\ Sanderfur of Macon with MisB Alma Harrison of Musella; Mr. Ed die Gray of.Dennard with Miss Ma ry Lizzie Harrison of Musella; then the bride and groom, who stopped immediately in front of Rev. Albert S. Dix, who made the two happy hearts to beat as one. The ceremo ny was very natural and impressive. Immediately after the marriage, the bridal party took the waiting conveyances for the train and went directly to the home of the groom, where a reception was tendered them that night. Miss Etta possesses the qualities requisite in the make-up of a true lady, being genial and friendly, and she numbers friends by the score. She was beautifully attired in blue cloth. The groom, we understand, is a successful young farmer of Crawford county, energetic, having an apti tude that will undoubtedly lead to success. The presents were numerous, beau tiful and useful. The decorations were becoming. After the first of January, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison will make their home at Mr. Sandefur’s, where they will be glad to welcome their friends and acquaintances, We wish for the happy young couple just enough clouds, to make the sunshine appreciable.

Brown and Biohard&ou, we are rea dy to give every individual a ugnt to thetr opinion and claim the same right for ourselves.

A change, almost as ludicrous as it is serious, has taken place in the national House of Representatives in the past week, and the chances of adequate auti-trust legislation are now nil. No sooner had Represen tative Jenkins been appointed chair man of the judiciary committee than there developed on his part an in tense jealousy of Representative Lit tlefield, whose anti-trust bill had gained him considerable prominence. This jealously was encouraged by the “conservative” members of the committee, and meantime the “con servative” republican senators ac quainted Mr. Jenkins with the fact that no drastic remedy for trust evils would be tolerated by them. Now, Mr, Jenkins has appointed a sub-cormnitcee to draft a trust bill which shall meet the approval of the Senate, and which means that it shall be as inellectual in accomplish ing ita pretended purpose as is the famous Sherman law. In this con nection it may be said that the pros pect of a deadlock in the Senate, as a result of Senator Quay’s fight for the admission of the territories, is hailed with joy by many republican senators who see therein a prospect of defeating all trust legislation be cause of “lack of time.”—Our Wash ington Correspondence. essary was to get a list of the , legal vot ers, which we were then doing. We se- oured a list of the registered voters of the 9th district, which is 826. We had on our petitiou 278 und we oheoked from the list ot registered voters of the 9th district, leaving a balance of 78. Now, Mr. Brown says in his letter injtlie coun ty papers that he has grave doubts iu his mind whether the voters of tile 9th district desired a dispensay at Fort Val ley or not. We only ask Mr Brown,and others who may be iu doubt, to refer to the legal voters we gave on our petitiou, which is from the oouuty returns, and we have made no mistake in the number. Iu Mr. Richardsou’s letter, which ap peared iu the oouuty papers, he gives his reasons foi declining ‘to introduce our bill, to which we will also reply. First, he says onr petition was signed by only 250. In thiB he is mistaken; it is certainly 273. He claims that 11 of the signers were not at thnt time resi dents of the 9th distriot. This we do not know to be the case, but give them the doubt. We deduct them from our num ber, which from 278 leaves 202. He also claims that 80 of our petitioners signed- the nnti-petitiou;of this we had no notice only from two; but snpposiug they did, and they are legal voters, that would yet leave us 225 regist ered voters, more than two-thirds of the district. And just, here we will say, if there were 30 voters who signed ours and the anti-petition, they never withdrew their names—only two of-them, and it was doing the business un injustice to sign both petitions. In regard to Perry and Byron, we could not say what those people should do, and we only mentioned iu our plans for a dispeusary, in the Home Journal, so fixed that these towns could have a dispensary if they liked,or leave it alone. If there has been a single voice raised from these towns against Fort Valley’s move fora dispeusary we have not heard of it, and we fully believe that each dis triot m the county is equally as much in favor of dispensaries as the 9th,and feel under the oirnumstanoes that we should of had a hearing from our petition, though we never expected it. We have made a good move in the right direction aud while we made a few mistakes, we will be more oareful in the future. As to our fair ladies that Mr. Richard son so kindly speaks of, wo can’t thank them oUougq for their goodness and lov ing-kindness, aud we’ll ever remember them in our prayers to do them good; but we are too glad to know they have never been known in politics in Houston county, and Go forbid they ever do.
