Oc tober 1st, 1883, occurs the golden anniversary of the marriage of Mr. Ezekiel Harris to Miss Elizabeth Garner. Fifty years have fied since they stood before the altar and pledged their vows for better or for worser and on the 1st day of October they will stand before the altar of a family's love and of friends, affec tion, and renew the covenants that have never been broken. In the beautiful lives of this couple is illustrated the charm of wed lock. By the doubling of their joys and the dividing of their griefs, they have improved their happiness and abated their misery. And as we are honored with their friendship, we sincerely pray that their last days may be their best days, und when their bodies return to dust, whence they came, may their glori fied spiriis onite in that bright land of eternal joys, where even the brief period of transi tion will not divide them. Their children, grandchildren and relatives are cordially in vited to be present. Friends will receive in vitations in a few days, Merriwetber Vindicator: Judge High tower, who resides near Mountville, in Troup county, is a pious and tolerant Christian. Recently a couplo of gent, stopped at his attractive country home and asked if they could get breakfast, saying they were minis ters. T K e lady who met them, a daughter of the jodge, said yes, that they always lodged and fed the preachers of the Gospel. Hearing that a couple of preachers were in the parlor, Judge Hightower at once hurried in to see them. 1‘retty soon he asked to what denom ination they belonged. “We are Mor mons,” was the reply. "Get out! get out," was the immediate rejoinder, "no .Mormon can eat breakfast in ray house." "But,” responded the many wiled mission aries, "your daughter said we could have breakfast.” "It matters not wbat she said.” the now thoroughly aroused old gentleman replied, "there is no breakfast here for Mor mons, nor will there ever be, so just pack ofT," and they packed. Such cool receptions from all our jwople would soon pack the ministerial gentry off to Utah. Alliens Banner: The following letter, from Pope Barrow and S. P. Thurmond, the coun sel oi Captain E. B. Eberbardt, exonerates Mr. 8. D. Mitchell from all blame in the mat ter. It is fair to this gentleman, whom every one knows is incapable of such conduct, that this act of justice should be done him. It is a waste ot words where Dalt. Mitchell is known to publish the following, but as the letter has been published abroad we feel it is fair iortiiose papers tliet did so to reproduce he following: A hens, Ga., September 1, 1883.—Editor Banner - Watchman: Under standing that some persons have imagined tiiat in the publication of the anonymous let ter addressed lo E.

Reaching Dowell’s station, nix miles from Newnan, the conductor stopped the train to let her get off, as the ticket was good for only that distance. The young Judy was bowildcred and began to suspect foul play. Examining her pocket book, she found that her money was all gone—stolen by the fellow who seemed to befriend her. There she was, a poor, lone or* pliau girl, away from home, among strangers, and without a cent. The money which her relatives at Whiteaburg had contributed to bear her expenses home, about ten dollars, mercilessly stolen by a graceless wretch!

Crine and Ventulett as bar keeper, but remained with them for only short time. After leaving Albany he jour neyed to Valdosta, where he was employed by Major J. W. Wells in the same capacity. While with this gentleman he took the liberty of emptying the cash drawer of its contents, amounting to about $125, and left for 8*vaU' nuh. Here the police took him in charge and reiurned with him to Valdosta, where he remained in jail for a few days, and finally discharged on some excuse, nn i because no one would appear against him.

Crine. Of course Mr. M. Crine refused to pay it, and Mr. Dotts, of At lanta, is minus $15. From the description given by Mr. Dotts and his agent, who knows Forest on sight, as well as his bookkeeper, it is generally supposed that he is the guilty arty, and efforts are being made to capture lim.
