BROUGHTON ON MOCK
MARRIAGES.
The Argus Jms rarely risen to
endorse the utterances of Dr.
Broughton, of Atlanta, but tho
following except from a card of
his on the recent mock marriage
muddle into which ho became en¬
tangled in Atlanta meets our ap¬
proval :
“I want to protest as a Christian
minister against mock mairiages,
let them be by whomsoever given.
Think of making marriage a frolic
to he laughed at I A Jot of chil¬
dren and men making sport of an
institution as sacred an the Sab¬
bath or the Lord’s supper or bap¬
tism. Might just as well get
up a mock Sabbath, a mock bap*
tism or a mock Lord’s supper.
Again L protest in tho name of tho
sacred ness of this institution, 1 lie
effort on tho part of sumo to rep¬
resent me as the oiio ministerial
ourang-outtug who stands alone
in doing the discourteous thing of
attacking this thing is simply an
effort to prejudice tho public. 1
did not- originate the fight. It
started in the Baptist pastors’ con¬
ference when 1 was present, and
the conference was a unit in the
condemnation of tho thing. To
ceusurd me, therefore, means to
censure all present that morning,
if those there toll the truth.
“Let me say again, I am ^res¬
ponsible for my convictions and
believe the mock wedding bvisine*
is primarily of the devil. Atlanta
needs to be taught the sanctity of
marriage—one out of ten marria¬
ges here ave afterwards divorced.
Away with anything therefore,
that weakens marriage.
of this special occasion under
discussion, the Argus knows noth¬
ing, mul has no desire to condemn
or caitieise any particular enter¬
tainment, but the marriage cere¬
* sacred as any other ho¬
mony as
ly right, and ordinance of the
ehureh, and its burlesque is no
better and no worse than would bo
mock baptisms, mock funerals,
mock confirmations and mock
Lord's supper. The ordinances of
God's Word ara all sacred, and
none of them should be burlesqued.

less orchards ought, also, to be t he
ordercf the day, and would be

ought to be hatless and lawless
legislators who deserve to be vote

Our Grand Chancellor shows excellent
judgement in electing Bro J. T. Wiley,

We were pleased to meet several of
old Athens friends at Monroe on the 11th
iust., Bros, J. H. Hart, Charlie Cooper
and Judge Russel among tha number.

The following Bros, from Covington
Lodge No. 118 were in at teudence at the
institution of the Monroe Lodge:

Tho star of Pythianism is in the as
ccndoncy. New Lodges are being insti¬
tuted in eveiy section of the state. The
last to date, was Monroe Lodge No. 120,
at Monroe, Ga. Their charter list con¬
tained thirty-one names. The organiz¬
ing of new Lodges however, is not all of
Pythianism, The membership of some
of (he Lodges which have been instituted
for several years might well take lessons
from some of the baby Lodges, it would
do them good to note the enthusiasm of
their younger brethereu. P.
Would Not Suffer So Again for Fifty Times
Its Puce.
I aAVoke last night with severe pains
in my stomache • I never felt so badly
in all 5y life. When I came down to
work. I went to Miller & McCurdy’s
drug store aud they recommended Cham-'
berlainsjs Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy It worked like magic and one
dose fixed me all right. It certainly is
the finest tliiug I ever used for stomach
trouble. I shall not be without it in my
home hereafter, for I should not care to
endure the sufferings of last night again
for fifty times its price.—G. H. Wilson,
Liveryman, Burgettstown, Washington

Tho editor and printer Mr. Nor¬
man Jones will likely attend the
Press convention which meets m
Elberton next month, provided
our delenqnents will fork over

must have a shirt for that cc
c as ion.
A fellow-devil truly says: “A
pleasant grin is not always in¬
dicative of one's good will. There
ate slanderous toyngues and un¬
manly assaults, and ignoble in¬
tentions . behind many of the
smiles that confront you daily.'’
No doubt about it. Some of the
biggest lies, dirtiest slanders, vilest
iusintation I ever heard came from i
a smiling face.
The Presbyterian church is un¬
dergoing repairs under the skillful
direction of Mr. W. N. Everitt,
when completed will be very ele¬
gantly finished.
The other day while on the train
enroute for Atlanta, we had the
pleasure of meeting the Hon. Jos.

is a candidate for tiie State Senate
from the 27th. He is a true dem¬
ocrat, a str >ng prohibitionist and
will carry his district by a big ma¬
jority over his opponents.
One of Conyers elites of society
remarked to a young lady while
drinking Coco-cola the other day,
that he would just as soon drink
: ‘oil and terpentine” as to drink
coco-cola—bad break young man.
