Our weildiug day had oeen fixed, hut during the meantime a misunderstanding came about, and she and 1 had a lover’s quarrel. I was noved on the impulse of the moment to marry another girl, but I loved Mamie ill the time, and not the one I married. 1 soon quit my wife and applied for a divorce. I went back to iny old love Again, and after the Athens factory shut down, 1 went over to spend the Christinas with her father’s family as I I a ! grow n to consider it almost home l* me at her father's hoi.se. I had n--t been 11<-re hut a few d>y- when she and 1 decided to e ope. 1 did not abduct her from her parents. We mutually agreed to get married. Just how l slipped sway with her 1 can't tell you nor anything further about our running aw ay except that we went to Jackson country, where 1 was to Imye married her, but was arrested by Sheriff Weir last Wednesday ” Sailors hung his head and murmured some interjection avowing his intense affection for the girl, and at this pause the reporter left him in his gloomy eell and still more gloomy thoughts. The girl was asked a few questions but declined to answer them. She is a pretty blond, with curly golden locks ami pretty blue eves, and is much dis tressed n’t the unfortunate imprison ment of her lover. She is only seven- tee*: years old.

The following letter, enclosing a check for $25, explains itself. Coming as it does from the distant North, it is a gra cious tribute to the memory of Henry Grady: New York, Jan 12nd, 1890. Col. T. L. Gantt— Dear Sir: Desiring to contribute my mite to the monument to the mem ory of Henry W. Grady, whom I bad the pleasure of knowing well, 1 deem it best to send it through you, who being his fellow-editor, would have most in terest in it. He was a man of whom I am prosd to say, “He was an American citizen.” I admired him not only for bis great abil ities, nobleness, gentleness and many virtues, but that lie was a man of his convictions, and they were good con victions, too. I wish to sec monuments raised all over this country to the memories of our good men, and he was one that all of our country will miss. God bless him 1 A Friend.

He.is a genial gen tleman and a skilled doctor and will doubtless uo well in the profession here He has many friends in Athens who are glad to welcome him back. A r pointed Oil Inspeorog.—The Oconee Enterprise is authority for the statement that Mr. Henry Lyl ’ of Wat-' kinsville, has been appointed by Com- mbaioner Henderson us Inspector of Oils for this district, with headquarters at Athens. He is to succeed Mr. John G, Evans. By. recent addition* to the duties of Oil inspector, the pecuniary- returns from the office have been great ly increased, making it a position well worth the trouble of obtaining it. Athens will heartily welcome as a citi zen Mr. Lyle. It is with pleasure that we also note that the whole family of Senator James R. Lyle will move to Athens hi the near future. They will truly be great additions to our social circles. 4 A Change.—It has been so long since there was a change in the style of col lars and cuffs that those men who are continually looking for novelties will be pleased to hear that a new design in each of these articles has been placed upon the market within the past few weeks by Messrs. Earl A Wilson, the manufacturers of the famous E. & W. brands. The new eollar is coiled the “Otego,” and has a slight upward curve at the points, which gives them veiy graceful ronnding when they are turned over. This collar is sure to meet with popular favor. The same thing may be said of the cuffs, which arc narrower than is customary, and have round ends on both sides. They bear the name: Vinta.” The same superior quality of linen that distin guishes all the goods manufoctured tld* firm will be found in these nove ties also. plan*, said: “We are in dead earnest about secur ing tlie furniture fuctory for Athens. I hare coine iiere at the instance of Mr. J. fl.Toomer lornhe purporse of organ izing a company to build and operate the factory. We have only seen a few of your citizens yel, but each of them cxpre;sa willin r n s3 to enter the stock company, believing that it would be a paying investment. Our plans are to rai-e a stock company of $30,000 capital making each share $100, so that all can owu ;:u interest in the enterprise.” ■ “Da you think the money can be raised ?” “Yes. I think there will be no tron- b'.e at all in raising the capital stock lined. We have only been talking matter over on tne streets for about an hour and have secured several thousand dollars. Messrs C. D. FJnni- gen. K, L. Moss, R. IC. Reaves and J. ‘ Tooiner have till expressed a willing- less to enter tha company with hand some subseiptious. Oh! yes, we do not fear about securing the stock.” Mr. Stephens spoke very confidently about the factory’s being built and seemed to think that it would be taken up :it once. It is probable that he rep resents a good deal of capital himself and will enter the project liberally. He says- there is no better pl-ce in Georgia for a furniturejfactory, and says it will not only be a great investment for the company but will be a great deal for Athens. The factory will give employment to about fifty hands with a pay roll of about $500 per week. ' This will infuse handsome amount of money into the business of Athens from time to time, and will be a valuable industry. The factory will turn out ail manner of eheap furniture and will supply the whole of Athens and Northeast Geor gia. It is the intention of the company ater to increase their stock to $100,000 if necessary, and to'engage jn the man ufacture of id! kinds of turuiture.

Since leaving the University a year or two ago, how- v« r, Mr. Curry encountered a number of vicissitudes.

The news as it reached the city was shocking in the extreme to the late associates of Mr. Curry, and a l unite in the sorrow of his untimely death.

Atlanta, Jan. 4.—[Special.]—Hon orable Clark Hewell was today elected by the stock-holders of the Constitu tion to succeed Mr. Henry W. Grady as managing editor of:hat paper. This was the most natural thing in the world. Mr. Clarke Howell is a son of Capt. Even P. Howell, the president of the company, and has been closely identified with the paper since he left college. He worked on the New York Times and the Philadelphia Press for a while, solely to learn the methods of metropolitan papers. He was for years the night editor of the Constitution, s position which in point of responsibili ty is next to the managing editorship. Mr. Howell’s long association with Mr. Grady, his experience, his good sense and his genial nature, especially fit him to occupy the vacancy. The promotion was so natural that really anything else would have been a surprise. No young man in the range of my acquaintance bears so many honors as Clark Howell The head of a less sensible man would have been turned long ago.

Jan. 4.—(Spe cial.)—The niysterous wtcck on the Bar which caused the return or sUaiu8hip Seminole has been the sub, jcclof a good deal of curious and in teresting comment for many years. There is a great variety of opinion as to what the sunken obstruction inuy he, Capt. \V\ T. McDonald, one of I In most skillful of local' pilots, sai.i yes terday that lie believed it to S»e the wreck of ilie Crusoe, an Eugiisli l>:.rk which foundered near lUe local ton of the wreck about twenty years ago. The Crusoe was loaded with phos phate rock at Coosaw,and was bound for London, England. When pass ing thu Charleston Bar the v;s-el sprung aleak and had to bj towed in. Tito Pilot Boy wr.a performing this service when Crusoe struck a shoai and parted iicr hawser. Tue vessel then went to pieces gradually, and on tlie following morning not vestige of it remained above the waltr. Some time after this occurrence the United States Government sent s survey steamer iiere for the purpose of locating the wreck. It was a te dious job. The officers of the s'.eamer asked the assistance of Capt. Mc Donald, who was crusing off the B.r, and he indicated to them approxi mately the place of tlie sunken vcs.-el by means of a range north aod South—the copula of a chuicli on the lslad and another object on the shorn From the investigations made at that time it was believed that the danger ous part of the vessel was an invert 'd iron knee, or perhaps this iluke of anchor. Until quite recently no vessel has struck the wreck since tuc Rarhinger fonnd it in 1S82. The wreck may be passed to the right or left on entering or leaving the port. It is marked ou the Gov ernment charts, the markiug buoy being about one hundred feet south of the wrcck.On clear nights, that is whenever the range lights are visible there can be no danger to navigation.
