The couple secretly married dur ing the holidays was Mr. Lamar Jackson and Miss Cleff Hardigree, who live near Winder. The fact of their secret marriage became known a few days ago to the parents of the young lady,who opposed the match, and all has since been forgiven. The best wishes for their future happiness is extended by their host of friends. In referring to the affair, the Winder correspondent to the Mon roe Messenger writes as follows: Tuesday evening Dec. 27th, while the moon sent forth her beautiful rays over the town of Winder and the people were enjoying the love ly Christmas night with no thought of any secret affair being played, Mr. Bob Jackson, of Athens, and Miss Cleff Hardigree, of Winder, were driven to the parsonage and secretly married by Rev. Mr. Quil lian. The marriage was kept a se cret until last Thursday morning, when Mr. Jackson went to Mr. Hardigree and asked for his wife. The news spread over the town, and created quite a sensation for a while,•Cleff being one of our lk tle school girls, just 14 years old. No one could realize the fact that she was married, but however, we hope as she enters into womanhood she will love this man who has taken her as his wife with the same pure love she does in her childhood days, as she has stepped out from her father’s home into a life boat that is filled with the cares of this world, and troubles that she is too young to realize. We hope as these cares come to this young couple they will be able to overcome them all, and their lives be filled with happiness. Orange Blossoms. Miss Ellen Snell is to be mar ried to Mr. G. M. Johnson, of Lithonia. This happy event is to be sol emnized at the borne ot the bride elect’s mother at Snellville at 11:30 a. m., on the 18th inst., and is to be a quiet home wedding. No invi ations have been issued and the ceremony, to be perform ed by Rev. S. H. Braswell, will be witnessed only by a few inti mate friends of the contracting parlies Miss Snell is the pretty and ac complished daughter of the late Thos. A. Snell, the founder of Snellville, and is a young lady of many noble and amiable traits of character. Mr. Johnson is one of Lithouia’s leading merchants and solid business men, and has many friends who will congratulate him upon winning the heart and hand of one of Gwinnett’s fairest daugh ters. In advance, The News-Herald tenders congratulations to the happy couple, wishing them all manner of sunshine and happiness in their journey through life. Mr. E. M. Brand's Generosity. On Saturday last Mr. E. M. Brand divided quite a snug sum of his worldly possessions with his children, the division being equal ly made between HOll. C. H. Brand, Mr. L. M. Brand, Mrs. Ida Peeples and Miss Addle Brand- While the exacct sum given to each is not known, the aggregate amount is away up in the thous ands. To his grand-children, Lou ella and Julia Brand, the sweet little daughters of Hon. C, H. Brand, he gave SSOO each in cash, naming their father as trustee. Mr. Brand has been for some time contemplating this generous deed, and with the knowledge that he has been spared a long lease of life, and that the fiat of death is inevitable, he wisely decided it best to give to his children some thing of his snug fortune before the summons came calling him to his final rest. Mr. Brand is, or was, the wealthiest man in Gwin nett county, and now that his children have become the benefi ciaries of his frugality and busi ness sagacity, he cau lay down to pleasant dreams with the satisfac tion that he has brightened their lives and been to them an un selfish and devoted father. His last days will be all the happier and brighter in speiug his chil dren enjoy his unselfish generosity. We commend Mr, Brand for his foresight iu this matter, and con gratula e the happy recipients on their newly acquired wealth. Meeting of Daughters of the Confederacy.

Of this number, the Seaboard Air Line R’y. has handled 4,577 bales, and the Lawrenceville Branch 2,682 bales. Loganville’s receipts for the sea son aggregate 8000 bales. The above figures indicate a considerable falling off from last year’s receipts, though the season opened later, and there is yet more cotton to come to market than at this time last year. The season’s business, at its close Sep tember 31st next, will probably show a loss of not more than 1500 bales as compared with last year. Considering that Lognnville gets mort- than 3000 bales, the largest amout of which foimerly came here,this makes a good showing for Lawrenceville, and indicates that she is not only holding her own as a cotton market, but is making headway. Our buyers always pay the high est prices the staple commands, and on account of the spirited competition between theLawreuce ville Branch and S. A. L. railroads, the freight rates given our local buyers enable them to pay a little more for cotton than surrounding tOWDS. However, the Lawrenceville Branch has not been getting its proportionate share of the busi ness this season, a fact that may be made painfully apparent by next season, unless our merchants and business men give the little road a fair division. Its existence depends upon the local patronage, and if this is denied it, it will not be long till it will cease to be op erated, when Lawrenceville will be at the mercy of one railroad.

If tlio people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would fye no such thing as lini ments and lotions for this painful and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is & disordered state of the blood—it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. But all blood remedies can not cure Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate disease, one which requires a real blood remedy —something more than a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is the only real blood remedy, and it promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case. A few jeurs ago I was taken with in flammatory Rheumatism,which,though milil at first, became gradually so in tense that I was for weeks unable to wall; 1 tried several prominent physi cians aim, took their treatment faith fully, but was unable to get the slightest relief In/fact, my condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over my entire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried many patent medicines, but none relieved me. Upon the advice of a friend \ decided to try 8. 8.

Modern Treatment of Consumption The latest work on the treatment of diseases, written by forty eminent American physicians, says: “Cod-liver oil has done more for the con sumptive than all other reme dies put together.” It also says: “ The hypophosphites of lime and soda are regarded by many English observers as specifics for consumption.” Scott’s Emulsion contains the best cod-liver oil in a partially digested form, combined with the Hypophos phites of Lime and Soda. This remedy, a standard for a quarter of a century, is in exact accord with the latest views of the medical profession. Be sure you get SCOTT'S Emulsion. All druggists ; 50c. and st.oo.

Those who have had experience with Rheumatism know that it becomes more severe each year, and like all other blood diseases, the doctors are totally unable to Scure it.~ In fact, the only remedies which they pre scribe are potash aud mercury, and though temporary relief may result, these remedies pro duce a stiffness of joints aud only in tensify the disease. tj.
