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. FINE FARM FOR SALE.

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 pointments of the Gainesville dis trict: Walker Lewis, Presiding Elder. Gainesvlle, First Church —A. C.

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.” NOTICE.
