A Well Known Young Couple
Married Thursday.
At 6 o’clock Thursday evening at the
j home of Mr. and Mrs. G. Perino Boone
! »»n Maple street, Mr. Samuel Barnett
Wingfield Jr., and Miss Annie Boone
were united in marriage, Rey. T. W.
O Kelly of Griffin, performing the cer
emony. Only a few intimate friends
were present, the marriage being a
| very quiet one.
I Mr. Wingfield is a well known young
business man of Athens, and is prom
inent in social circles. The bride is a
young lady of many lovely traits of
character and has many warm friends.
An elegant collation was served the
bridal parly immediately after the mar
riage at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Boone, and the young couple left at
7.43 p. m. for their future home at
Athens.
Started to Klondyke.
Mr. Chas. F. Rognon, who left Lula
for the Klondyke in March, has beep
heard from by his relatives. He has
abandoned the Klondyke idea, and
when heard from was at Spokane,
j Wash., from where he will start to the
Colville reservation, backed by a strong
company to prospect. Mr. Rognon
made his way through the Rockies at
the close of the war in ’66, cooked for
Kit Carson, and had many rough ex
periences with the Indians in Colorado
and New Mexico. He founded the
town of Roseta in Colorado, camping
in a dug-out, and discovered the famous
Humboldt mine which he 1 sold for 85
and a sack of flour, carrying the flour
from Pueblo, forty-two miles, on his
back. The mine in three weeks sold
for a small fortune.
▲ Good Show.
The entertainment given by the John
Thomas Concert Company at the audi
torium last Saturday night was quite
good. Those who attended were very
pleasantly entertained, and the features
were far above the average. It is to
be regretted that the receipts were not
sufficient to pay the guarantee given by
Profs. Van Hoose and Pearce, who lost
about $25 on the entertainment. How
ever, they are not discouraged and in
tend having a number of high class
entertainments at the auditorium this
winter. It is to be hoped that the pat
ronage will be sufficiently large to au
thorize them to secure a number of the
best entertainments for the people of
Gainesville.
The Cold and Bain.
The heavy rains of Monday did a
great deal of damage to hay and cot
ton in this section. A great deal of
cotton was open, and much hay had
been cut and left to cure in the fields.
This was badly damaged and will prove
a loss to the farmers. Fortunately the
rain only lasted one day. Throughout
the northwest a fearful blizzard did
great damage this week, and the cold
wave was perceptibly felt in Georgia.
A heavy frost fell last Saturday night,
and it is thought that that the cold has
proven a blessing to the fever infected
districts.
Grapes.
I had the very finest that were on the
market in Gainesville this year. I
have 5000 vines ready to set out in No
vember. . Why pay high prices to for
eign nurseries when you can get better
vines at home at much less the cost. 1
can furnish you Concord, Hartford,
Moore’s Early, Progress, Lntie, Cataw
ba and Niagara vines well rooted and
guaranteed to grow if given proper at
tention, at the most reasonable prices.

Finder will be rewarded by returning

LAFAYETTE DAY.
Appropriate Exercises Held By
City Publio Schools.
La Fayette day wm appropriately
observed in Gainesville Wednesday.
The students of the city public schools
were formed in line at the college
building on Main street, and marched
through town and around the public
square to the court house where-the
exercises were held. They carried
large American flags, and were accom
panied by the teachers, Superintendent
J. W. Marion being in charge. Several
hundred children were in the line of
march.
At the court house appropriate songs
were sung, and speeches were made by
Dr. J. W. Oslin, Mr. Hubert Estes and
CoL H. H. Perry. Declamations by the
Lumpkin boys were also very interest
ing.
The exercises were very enjoyable
and were fittingly appropriate.
To Bide a Donkey.
We are informed that some person has
bid off the daily mail from here to
Gainesville for 8500. We suppose that
the contractor expects to ride a donkey
in the delivery of the mail matter.
Years ago the mail carrier from here to
MorgaDton had to carry a trumpet
which he blew when approaching town.
This man will not have to go to this
expense. His animal can give the alarm
on his arrival which will save the post
master here from having to put out a
sign of “mail not arrived.”—Dahlonega
Nugget.
Messrs. R. D. Mitchell & Son are im
proving and enlarging their market on
Main street. A forty foot brick ad
dition is being made to the building,
making it eighty feet in length. A
new engine and boiler has been pur
chased and the capacity of their sausage
plant will be doubled. The work on
the building will be completed at an
early date, and with their enlarged
quarters no doubt their business will
increase.
Bridge For $900.
Eight representatives of bridge com
panies went to Dahloneea Monday to
bid on the bridge across the Chestatee
river in Lumpkin county. The con
tract was awarded to the Virginia
Bridge Company, through its represen
tative, Mr. Hamlin, for 8900. Work on
the new structure is to begin at an ear
ly date.
Stovall-W oodliff.
Mr. Charley A. Stovall and Miss Nan
nie Woodliff were united in marriage in
Atlanta Friday evening of last week.
The marriage was a quiet one and was
witnessed only by a few intimate
friends. The bride is a daughter of the
late George F. Woodliff of Gainesville,
but she has resided in South Carolina
for sometime. Mr. Stovall is a well
.
known young business man of this city.
The couple arrived in Gainesville from
Atlanta last Saturday morning and are
at home to their friends at the Hunt
House.

Mrs. Mary Boggs, aged seventy-six
years, died Wednesday at her home
several miles below the city on the
line of Hall ancj Jackson counties. The
funeral services were largely attended
and her death is sincerely mourned.
