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. Address, George S. Rognon; Lula, Ga. [6tl , boat, Six Pige. Finder will be rewarded by returning same to Crawford Jewell. 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. 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.
