Rev. T, J. Warlick.
The people of Lawrenceville will
regret that Rev. T. J. Warlick,
the popular pastor of the Metho
dist church, has been assigned to
a different field of labor. Mr.
Warlick has won the love of all
the people of our town, and is an
able and fearless defender of the
religion of the Bible. He goes to
Social Circle.

He will move his family to the
house now occupied by M. L.

man vacates it. Mr. Rockmore

The Twelth Annual illustrated
Book number of The Outlook
contains several features of strong
and peculiar interest. Most nota
ble among these is the group of
short articles called “The Cen
tury’s Great Book.” In this
replies are given t® the question
which naturally arises in the last
month of the Nineteenth Century,
namely,‘‘Whatbooks of the cen
tury just closed have most influ
enced the life and character of the
century?” Among those who
contribute are: James Bryce,
Edward Everett Hale, Henry van
Dyke, President Hadley of Yale,
Georgia A. Gordon, G. Stanley
Hall, and Thomas Wentworth
Higginson. Fine portraits of
eight or ten of the authors, who
are indicated by the opinions of
these writers as the most impor
tant of the century, are included.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1900.
Runaway Marriage.
A marriage took place in Law
rencevilleWeduesday morning that
has a tinge of romance attached
to it.
The contracting parties were Mr.
Troy Thomason, of Monroe, and
Miss Annie Camp, daughter of Mr,
James Camp, who resides four
miles from town.
Mrs. Thomason’s mother is dead,
and she had all the cares of the
household upon her, and it was
but natural that her father should
object to giving up so valuable a
daughter as Miss Annie had proven
herself to be. But “love laughs
at locksmith,” and while Mr. Camp
was hauling up corn from the field
Miss Annie dressed up m her white
woolen suit and started out to join
her lover, who was in waiting with
a horse and buggy. The young la
dy saw her father coming and had
to run to keep out of his sight,but
the happy young couple avoided
the oid mau and drove on to Law
renceville, where they were married
in the court house by ’Squire John
M. Mills.
The bride and groom dined at
the Byrd House and took the 1:55
p. m. train for Monroe, going via
Winder. Mr Thomason will visit
his people at Powder Springs, Cobb
county, also before returning to
Monroe, which place they will
make their future home.
We waft congratulations and
wish them God speed on their
journey.
You can get anything out of a
woman if you flatter her, but to
get anything out of a man you
have to feed him.

We Are lo Have Preaching Ev
ery Sunday at Methodist.
G. W. GRINER COMES HERE
Mr. Warlick Goes to Social Circle —Pro-
ceedings of the Methodist North
Georgia Conference.
The annual session of the North
Georgia conference adjourned
Monday night. The Atlanta pa
pers gave considerable space to the
proceedings and reported fully the
details of the work of the confer
ence.
It was an able body of men com
posed of all the ministers of the
conference and repiesentative lay
members of the different churches.
Bishop Hendrix presided, and
among the many interesting feat
ures of the convention was his pre
sention to the conference of a dia
ry, or daily record of events, of
John Wesley while he was in Geor
gia. The book is in Wesley’s own
hand writing, and gives carefully
the hourly events and acts of the
famous preacher.
The conference was rather severe
on one or two of the brethren.
One brother was tried for getting
drunk, using improper language
and fooling a girl. He acknowl
edged the two first mentioned
charges, but was acquitted on a
plea of insanity. The fact of his
fooling a girl was not proven, but
the young lady in question appear
ed on the scene and declared the
good brother “sho” did fool her.
The twentieth century movement
which has to do with raising mon
ey for the various denominational
schools, received quite a good deal
of attention. The conference put
itself on record as favoring abso
lute prohibition, but indorsed the
Wright dispensary bill as the best
thing now attainable.
Great interest was felt through
out north Georgia as to the assign
ment of the ministers. The num
ber of districts has been chang
ed from thirteen to eleven.
Rev. M. L. Underwood, who has
been presiding elder of the Gaines
ville district four years, is trans
ferred to the Elberton district as
its presiding elder. Dr. Walker
Lewis, who has been pastor of the
First church in Atlanta, becomes
presiding elder of the Gainesville
district. Rev. T. J. Warlick goes
to Social Circle, and Rev. G. W.
Griner succeeds him as the pastor
here.
Lawrenceville was made a sta
tion, and hereafter there will be
preaching at the Methodist church
here every Sunday instead of twice
a mouth, as heretofore.
We will publish the full list of
appointments next week.
The following is the list of ap

CAUGHT AT RANDOM, j
A great many jokes are told at
the expense of that official known
as the justice of the peace, many
of which are true no doubt, but
others are of doubtful origin.
This official is said to possess
more authority than a United
States supreme court judge, be
cause he can divorce a couple and
murry the parties to some one else
at the same session of his court.
He sits iu judgment on the quar
rels between his neighbors and
passes upon their differences in a
manner eminently satisfactory to
both sides, and settles family dis
putes by ordering the parties to
kiss and make up.
The news comes to us that in an
adjoining county the justice of
the peace married a couple whose
ages were sixty and twenty respec
tively, the pater familias having
the long end of the string. To cut
a long story short we will state
that the matrimonial ship did not
sail very smoothly in which this
couple had embarked and ere long
the head of the family was before
the official again on a peace war
rant. The justice being a peace
officer, resolved to restore peace
in the household, so the plaintiff
agreed to dismiss the warrant if
the defendant would reaffirm his
marriage vows, which he readily
consented to do.
“Hold up your right hand,’’said
the official to the defendant, and
then he proceeded to administer
the following oath:
“Do you agree to take this wo
man and hug her, and kiss her,
and love her, and feed her, and
clothe her, and shield her, and de
fend her, and protect her in sick
ness and in health till death do
you part, by the eternal Gods in
fee simple?”
He said yes and the couple went
on their way rejoicing.

A dago with a monkey and a
grind organ passed through town
one day last week and as usual all
the little children and a great
many grown folks, too, flocked
around the music box to see the
show. A little fellow was given a
nickel and he turned it over to
the monkey in order that he
might see him dance. The small
boy would go into ecstasies in tell
ing of the capers the monkey
would cut. “He took off his hat
and his pa’s hat, too,” said the
youth, referring to the dago as the
VOL. VIII. NO G
toe parent of the monkey. There
is such an affinity between the two
it seems but natural for the boy
to draw this conclusion.

Landlord —(to teamster) —Dick,
can you draw a conclusion?
Dick—(hesitating)—l ’spect I
can, boss, if you gin me another
yoke of oxen.

Rev. J. W. Pogue’s little boy is
only ten years old, but he is un
usually bright and smart for one
of his years. In the physiology
class the other day the teacher
made the assertion that a person
could not drink water while stand
ing on his head. “I believe I can,”
said Deavenport, and he was given
permission to try. A dipper of
water was handed him while his
feet were pointing toward the ceil
ing and his head resting on the
floor, in which position he drank
it down (or up as you may term
it) with comparative ease, and
thus the theory of the professor
was knocked in the head.

He —Do you like moguls
(plums)?
She—No. But I’m very fond of
damsons.

Since Bosco has learned to “eat
’em alive” and Jim Murray, of
Watkinsville, has exhibited his
rare collection of serpents, snake
charming has gotten to be quite a
fad. It is a well known fact that
snakes go into winterquarters in
cold weather, but one of the
boarders at the Byrd house has
gone into the snake charming bus
iness and he proposes to go the
above named parties one better by
prosecuting his business all winter.
Cold weather doesn’t effect his
business, he says.
Marriage in Norcross.
The Athens Banner of November
21st, contained the following in
teresting account of the marriage
of two popular young people of this
section, which will be perused with
no little pleasure by our many
readers:
“One of the prettiest home wed
dings of this city was that of Miss
Clyde Born, of Norcross, to Mr. C.
K. Moore, of this city. The wed
ding occurred yesterday at Nor
cross, and was witnessed by only
the relatives and intimate friends
of the contracting parties.
“Mrs. Moore is well known in
Athens, and is admired by all for
her beautiful traits of character.
“Mr. Moore is one of our leading
merchants, and has hosts of friends
who congratulate him on winning
such a charming bride.
“Mr. and Mrs. Moore are at
home to friends at Mrs. Boswell’s
on Broad street.”
