'UNION & RECORDER. Augusta Letter, Al'HI STA, Ga EDITOHS UNION Marriages htivt ?ng the past \vi many April 13th, 1887. IKCOHDKR: >een plentiful dur ?ek, and rumor tells of more. The first and most bril liant was that of Mr. Clarke Howell of Atlanta to Miss Hattie Barrett, tlie accomplished daughter of our popu lar citizen, Mr. Hale Barrett. The peculiarity of this marriage was that it occurred c>n Saturday night. This was however unavoidable, as the ves- -»»1 in which they had engaged pas sage to Europe was announced to sail much earlier than had been expected. The wedding presents were very many and costly, an entire room in the Barrett mansion being filled with them. The ceremony was performed in St. Paul’s Episcopal church by tho Kector, Rev. Chauncy C. Williams, in the presence of a large audience. The happy couple left for Now York on the following morning preparatory to their trip across the ocean. <)n the night proceeding a very quiet marriage took place at the resi Hence of Mr. W. J. Rutherford, unit ing the lives of his youngest daught er, Miss Minnie ami Mr. Horace Ver- •lery. While not an elopement, the marriage was quite a surprise, because it was unannounced. Mr. Verdery i« the efficient Mail Carrier for the -First Ward, and lias made himself veTy popular by his polite manner %nd accommodating disposition. On ■fPuesday morning last Mr. Murphy em.1 Miss Bowles were quietly married at 'the < 'atholie Church. A recent de- *.re« of tlie Bishop forbids marriages in the church at night, and conse quently this ceremony took place in the morning in tin* presence of quite a number of friends. Wednesday morning witnessed the union of Hvob .’>etween Mr. Ed Dugas and Miss Ten- want at St. Patrick’s church. The bride is a niece of our esteemed towns man, Mr. W. A. Garrett, and tlie •groom is a popular conductor on the Georgia Railroad. Away down from Florida conies the nows of tho marri- tge of Mr. Sanford Cohen to Mrs. »rris. formerly Miss White of Sa vannah. The April breezes have al ready wafted many good wishes to this "happy couple; and their friend's are only awaiting their return to greet them with a perfect ovation. Air. < 'olien is known all over the State •is tlie able City Editor of the Chron icle, and is much admired by a large circle of friends. It was thought that he had made up his mind to spend the remainder of his life in bachelorhood .vnd the announcement'of his marriage is therefore quite a surprise to many. Lastly conics the runaway marriage if Miss Rosa Barr, a young Jewess, to a Mr. Cohen, a drummer from Atlan ta. They met each other only a few • Jays ago and fell in love at first sight. The family <>f the young lady strenu ously objected to the young man’s attention, and were horrified when ttiev learned that the couple had el- -opeil in a buggy and been married by a Trial Justice in the historic town of Hamburg, S. C. Marriages are as prevalent as the measles, and yet the ««.ir is thick with rumors of many UJfOKe. [ A new weekly paper has recently been started in Augusta, and judging from the tone of the salutatory, it lias come to stay. Its name is The Au gusta Gazette, and its proprietors and editors are Mr. Bismuth Miller and Mr. David Shaver, Jr. They are both old newspaper men, with plenty of brains, energy, and push. There is no reason therefore, why tho Gazette should not become one of tlie estab lished weeklies of Georgia, especially since its price is only fifty cents per annum. The copies already issued are printed in the most beautiful type, «-.lear cut ami neat. A high moral ton" pervades the whole paper, which will make it a very welcome guest iu the households of our city. Mr. Miller is a born writer, and if he con tinues any length of time in the edito rial sanctum ( is bound to make his mark. Success to the Gazette. The readers of the Chronicle sadly miss the sprightly editorials of Col. James R. Randall" The general im pression is that Augusta made a sad mistake in allowing him to leave her midst. He has recently removed to Anniston, Ala., to take charge of the Vnniston Hot Blast. He lias certain ly left many thousands of friends be hind who hope to see him some day at the head of his own paper in Au- usta. 5 had the pleasure yesterday of meeting a very prominent divine, who in years past occupied the pul pit i f the First Baptist Church in this city. 1 refer to Rev. James Cuth- !>"rt. D. D., of Washington, D. C. Dr. Cuthbert lias resigned tlie pasto rate of the First Church in Washing ton, and is spending some time in Viken, S. with his brother. Dr. Cuthbert lived in Augusta during the war and a few years after, and was beloved by his church and the com munity at large. When the war first broke out he was in charge of the tirst Baptist Church in Philadelphia. < )ne Sunday morning as he walked into his pulpit he found it decorated with United States flags and Union mottoes. He immediately left the pulpit, called the church together, tendered his resignation and left for his home in the South. The church had no hand in the decoration of the pulpit, and tried to pursuade him to remain, but lie told them that his work was done, and insisted upon the acceptance of his resignation. In he was called to Washington and held the pastorate of that church for over seventeen years. Dr. Cuthbert is a native of ‘Beaufort, S. C., and is a nephew of the celebrated Richard Fuller, D. D. 1 see it stated in the Christian In dex that Rev. Barney Foreman, will supply the pulpit of the Baptist church in Milledgeville, until tho ar rival of its pastor elect. 1 am well ac quainted with this young minister, • iMidwell remember tho time, only a few years ago, when ho was consider ed one of the wildest young men in Hitverton, S, C. 1 saw him leave to enter the Milledgeville College, and little dreamed that when he returned to his home it would he under the banner of Immanuel. Truly lie is a trophy of Grace. His family is one of the most prominent in that sec tion of the {State, and he will no doubt add lustre to a name already reputable, I commend him to the good people of Milledgeville. and trust that lie may be the means of winning many souls to Christ. It has been raining oil and on all day, in light April showers. At ons time tlie skies were inky black, and looked very threatening. So much so that some people feared a cyclone. It lias till passed away now, and the golden sunlight kissing the rain- tipped (lowers makes Augusta a per feet Eden. Houghton. MACON'S NEWRAILROAD. Some Gratifying News as to the Recent Consolidation. Maj. Win. H. Ross has returned from New ¥ork and brings some very gratifying news ns to the consolida tion of the Covington and Macon and Savannah and Birmingham rail roads, and the prospect of their speedy construction. His interview with Mr. Douglass Green, president of tlie Covington and Macon and re cently elected president of the Sa vannah, Dublin and Western, and also with others high in positions to to know, was confirmatory of the news contained in the Telegraph’s specials of Sunday. Tho lino from Savannah to Hir- lningham will bo built. The compli cations which have embarrassed the Savannah, Dublin and Western and prevented work upon it are now le- moved, and there is nothing in the way of its completion. As the Ala bama end of the line is in the best of bands, there need be no anxiety as to this line, which will ultimately reach from Kansas City to deep water. The Covington and Macon, or more properly the Macon and Athens road, will be pushed forward to comple tion and it is now a certainty that it will be ready for the next cotton crop. Tlie above portion of tlie line, from Athens to Macon, will be completed probably before work is begun on tiie road from Macon to Florida. More work can be accomplished by work ing on the north end in summer and on the south end in winter. Macon being in the center of tlie system, tlie two roads crossing at this point, the workshops will of necessi ty be located here. Necessarily these shops will be of considerable magni tude, and will add large numbers to Macon’s mechanical population. It may be well to give Mr. Green's reasons why tlie work on tlie Cov ington and Macon road lias not been rapid. Considerable difficulty lias been experienced in getting steel rails, and with a large force of hands em ployed these frequent delays in get ting rails would have worked dis bandment and much trouble, it was thought best to keep a smaller force employed all the time, even if pro gress was necessarily slower. The rails are now being received in regular shipments and the work going on, Hillsboro having been reached and Montieello almost in sight.- -Macon Telegraph, lttli. ENJOY LIFE. What a truly beautiful world we live in ! Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens ami oceans, and thousundsof means of enjoyment. Wo can desire no belter when m perfect health; but how often do the majority of people fool like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worn out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easi ly obtain satisfactory pioor, that Green’s August Flower, will make them free from disease, as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are tho direct causes of seventy-live per cent, of such maladies as Uilltousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Uostiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dls*l- ness of the Head, Palpitation of tho Heart, and other distressing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottles, 10 cento. Try it. Prohibition Works Well. That prohibition does prohibit, and that its practical workings are grow ing in popular favor seem to be the general verdict of white and colored in Sandersville. His honor Mayor Gilmore and the city Clerk inform us that not a single new case has been presented to the council for violation of the city ordi nances since prohibition went into ef fects. All the cases tried s ince were for offences committed before the law #ent into operation. Before bar rooms were closed from three to five cases were called for trial every week and now over two months have elapsed and not a single new case has occurred! What higher commendation anil endorsement could be given of the happy results of closing the barrooms? Prohibition does just what was desired,Jit prohibits the bar rooms, and prohibits nine-tenths of the whisky drinking formerly prac ticed. There are as we learn from the obliging express agent, Dr. Irwin, only from 3 to live jugs probably daily brought here. This fact vindi cates the wisdom of closing the bar rooms, since the removal of tlie temp tation, so effectually does away with the terrible habit. The decrease of loafers and the increase of laborers are among the beneficial results of prohibition. The colored people are living better, spending for wholesome provisions and home comforts, tlie money they spent formerly for whis ky. The moral results are so signal, that the conviction is steadily growing that prohibition is here to stay.— Sandersville Herald. Now has Faith. 1 had been troubled all winter with cold and pain in tho chest and got no relief from remedies recommended by Druggists and Physicians. At tho same time I was ad vertising Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung Syrup. I had little faith but thought to try it as a last resort, now I believe even more than they toll me of Its curativo qual ities. (From Tho News, Elizabethtown, Ky.) bold by E. A. Bayue. The Burglary at Eatonton. The following special to tlie Macon Telegraph shows that the reports re ceived here as to amounts lost by the burglary in Eatonton were greatly ex aggerated. The people of Eatonton shouldfspare no trouble or expense to discover and bring to punishment the perpetrators of this bold robbery: Eatonton, Ga., April lOtli. The post-office at this place was en tered this morning between twelve and throe o'clock by burglars, and tlie safe, containing a good sum, blown open. Tho burglarsgained en trance to the office through the back door, by means of a crowbar. There were three explosions, all of which were heard by parties living in that vicinity, but were not noticed much until the third one occurred, which was very loud, and was heard several blocks away. Mr. B. W. Hunt, of tlie firm of E. B. Ezell & Co., whose bed room is adjoining the post-oiliee, whs- awakened by the third explosion, and immediately arose and lighted a lamp and came out on tho street, where he met Mr. Chas. Dusonburyon his way to the office to make up the mail for the 5:15 train. They went into the office and found the safe blown to pieces and the room still full of smoke, but saw nothing of the burglars. None of the money or papers from the safe are missing, as it is supposed they were frightened away. They carried away about $40 from the mon ey drawer, the stamp receipts for the previous day. A short piece of fuse and a blood-stained piece of paper Were found on tlie tloor. Tlie street lamps were all out this morning, and four men were seen standing near the post-office last night at twelve o’clock. There is not tlie slightest clue to the burglars. The safe is a complete wreck. It was undoubtedly the work of professional cracksmen, as their brace and bit and a few tools were found concealed a short distance from the scene.
