A Conyers Young Man Marries a South
Carolina Young Lady.
From The Augusta Chronicle
On Saturday night, or rather
Sundny morning, about 1 o'clock,
notwithstanding the unusual hour,
a happy marriage occurred at the
residence of Rev. George W.
Walker; on Kollock street, in
which Carolina and Georgia were
united in the persons of Miss Ju¬
lia Jones, of Camden, S. C., and
Mr. Mance Townsend, an employe
of the Georgia railroad.
The young couple met in At¬
lanta during the exposition and
they became engaged.
Miss Jones returned to her
home and on Saturday left Cam¬
den on the South Carolina train
for this city to be married.
The train did not arrive in the
city until 12 o’clock. When it
came, however, the young lady
was met at the depot by her sweet¬
heart with several friends.
A license having already been
secured the party proceeded to
the residence of Mr. Walker,
where they were made man and
wife a litttie after 1 o’clock.
The happy couple are now re¬
ceiving the congratulations and
best wishes of tlieir many friends.
In a few days they will leave
for Conyers, the home of the
groom.

The Ootton Crop.
Reports from the New Orleans
cotton exchange show that there
was more cotton put upon market
dining this last October than has
ever been done before in any sin¬
gle month since the world began.
It would seem that there has not
been much holding of cotton for a
better price.
There is also a very common
belief among cotton dealers that
the present will be the largest
crop ever marketed.

EPCKDJLE FOR LIUINGSTOK.
Below we publish the official
count of the votes in Rockdale
yesterday. Only a small vote was
polled. The vote by districts is
as follows:
TOWN DISTRICT.
Livingston, 307.
Haight, 222 .
SHEFFIELD.
Livingston
Haight, 1 V*
HONEY CREEK.
Livingston, <
Haight,
LORRAINE.
Livingston 30.
Haight, 40.
Total vote in the county was
712; Livingston’s majority, 158.
NOMINEES VICTORIOUS.
Dr. Felton was beaten in the
seventh, and everywhere in Geor¬
gia the nominees were successful.
These are now Georgias next
congressmen, Lester, Turner,
Crisp, Moses, Livingston, Blount,
Everett, Eawson, Winn, and
Watson.
It is expected that Judge Crisp
of Georgia will be the next speak¬
er of the House in Congress. He
seems at present to be the favorite.
Roswell P. Flower, chairman of
the democratic congressional com¬
mittee, dispatched the following
last night at 12 o’clock to the At¬
lanta Constitution: “Our victory
bids fair to exceed my figures of
yesterday. We have gained cne
in Connecticut, one in New
Hampshire, three in Massachu¬
setts, one in Rhode Island, one in
Pennsylvania, two in Maryland,
one in Kentucky, three and pos¬
sibly five, in New York, The
force bill is the dead letter and
the tariff bill repudiated."
Co!. L. F. Livingston carried
every county in this district yes¬
terday. The vote was not a full
one.
In the Congressional election
yesterday held in most of the
states of the Union, the Demo¬
crats are said to have gained sev¬
eral members, and it is claimed
that the next house will be Dem¬
ocratic. .
LOCALS FROM ALM0N.
By Our Special Correspondent.
Our little town presents rather
a dull appearance since the Expo¬
sition closed in Atlanta. Most
ofjthe visitors having departed
our people have gone bravely to
work “making up lost time,” as
they term it and theref ore are sel¬
dom seen on the streets.
Mrs. D. T. Stone returned home
from Atlanta Thursday accompa¬
nied by her mother Mrs. Rarretfc.
Mr. E. M. Nash has been suffer¬
ing greatly for some time with
boils.
Mr. Charley Stone was very ill
last week with something like
gunsey, but we are pleased to
learn that he is convalescing.
Miss Leila Park left for Atlanta
Thursday afternoon.
Mr. John Holder, with- a party
of “boys” from a neighboring
bnrg, went out gaming one day
last week and bagged 71 par¬
tridges and a rabbit. John was
trying his new setter pup and was
perfectly delighted with the result.
Mr. J. P. Worsham, who is in
the employment^ the railroad, is
at home pretty seriously hurt in
an accidant on the road—the par¬
ticulars unknown.

This is what you ought to h*ve,
in fact, you must have it, to fully
enjoy life. Thousands are search¬

because they find it not. Thous¬

are spent annually by our people
in the hope that they may attain
this boon. And yet it may be had
by all. We guarantee that Elec¬
tric Bitters, if used according to
directions and the use persisted

A dog was barking at the moon
when a sage inquired why he did
so, adding that he conld not pos¬
sibly affect the great luminary one
way or the other, and that it
seemed a useless waste of energy.
“Oh, it isn’t that it makes any
difference with the mocn,” replied
the canine; “but I want the other
dogs in this neighborhood to
know that I’m not dead.” Moral

A Remarkable Invalid.
Mrs. John Roberts, who lives
in Troupe county nearLaGrange,
Georgia, is a most remarkable in¬
valid. She has been affleted with
dropsy of the body for a number
of years, yet she is most of the
time her own housekeeper. The
water has been drawn from her
body one hundred and twenty
one times, and an average of
eight gallons taken each time,
making 968 gallons in all. Ex¬
cept for a short time after each
surgical operation, she has been
noted for her energy and stirring
habits. The family makes 25
bales of cotton with two mules;
and when Mrs. Roberts can,
which is nearly all the time, she
prepares only one meal for them
during the day, the other two are
prepared and eaten in the night.
She is the last to go to bed; and
is always up at 4 o’clock in the
morning when not confined to her
bed.
