Last Wednesday afternoon .Jan
uary 28th, a considerable number
of relatives, neighbors and friends
assembled at the home of Mr. and
Mjs. J. M. K. Barfield, about 8
mileB north-east of Perry, to wit
ness a marriage ceremony. The
parlor was pleasingly decorated
with holly and bamboo, and a
large globe lamp diffused a mel
low light throughout the darken
ed room.
The guests stood in a semi-cir
cle, and as Miss Maggie Marr
brought forth from the organ ,the
sweet meledy of a wedding march,
the bride and groom came in the
front door aud stood facing the
minister near the center of the
room. Then Rev. Albert S, Dix
performed the marriage rite in
his usual happy manner; joining
right hands, the bride and groom
pledged‘ k feat[y each to other, and
by authority of ^God and man the
minister pronounced Mr. Albert
Sydney Wellons and Miss Alyce
Barfield man and wife.
Congratulations were cordially
extended, and a short while later
Mr. Wellons and wife went to
Kathleen and thence to Arabi,
their home.
The popularity of the young
bride was attested by many
presents, beautiful and useful.
'The groom id the trusted and
efficient railroad agent aud tele
graph operator at Arabi. He is
well-known in Houston, having
taught school here several years.
The bride is the second daugh

field, attractive alike in feature

gan that a negro at Tivola was af
fected with a disease that he be
lieved to be small pox. At the
request of Judge Hurst, Dr. R.

tigate she suspicious case.
We saw Dr. Cater after his re
turn, aud he told us there were
two well defined oases of small
pox at Tivola, both patients being
negroes. He further said he was
satisfied that there had been two
other cases in one of the families,
now recovered. One of these ne
groes is John Jeffries, an employ
