A thief broke into our office the other nijht and carried off two empty bottles paste pot and bar of soap. We don’t need the soap, but hate to give up our old bottles. They were a kind of relic.

The Enteprise says a Covington you man has made nine bed quilts with liis own hands. It would have been remarkable Jtor him to have made them with some other young mans hands.

The bride was compelled to tote her trail to keep it whole during her walk up the isle. One lady climbed the center post with a baby in her arms, and bad the appear¬ ance of standing with one foot on the Mayor’s shoulder among the entire per¬ formance. The bridegroom Lad the mi-fortune to lose his liat and was comp.lled to go off with ids brow uncovered. Jeff Christian was the handsomest young man in the house. O.er seven hundred children between 3 months and 5 years made music for the occasion Qur dreams will perhaps be more in¬ teresting in the future LIBERTY CHAPEL DOTS BY DIXIE.
