Last Sunday a heavy rain and wind
storm struck the neighdorliood just
above Edison and did some damage to

enced the same misfortune. The boys
say the rain was a blessing, but the wind
could have been left off very well.
The ice eream fete given on the Arte¬
sian lawn at Leary by the ladies of the

Mr. T. W. Hammond of Leary hap¬

dash. Mr. Hammond jumped and
caught the reins, and was violently
thrown against the front wheel of the

Dr. Terry repaired the damages the best
he could and Mr. Hammond was attend¬
ing court Monday, being as lively as
ever, notwithstanding his severe injury.

in Athens each year at commencement.

feelings of fellowship and to aid in ad¬
vancing the interests of the university.
The officers chosen were: W. D. Shef¬
field, of Arlington, president; P. R.
Schowalter, of Mobile, Ala., vice presi¬
dent, and J. H. Estill., Jr., of Savannah,
secretary and tieasurer. The members

A MARRIAGE CEREMONY,
In Which Dr. F. 1*. Griffin and
Miss Minnie Lou Riley were
the Contracting Parties.
"Love in winters ehilly

Love lures every lily

is a beam and beauty—
Sorrow and delight;
Love’s the thorn of Duty —
Morning after Right.'’
The good Book teaches us that
God is U>ve; nature teaches us that
love controls; it is the divine right of
the immortal souls of earth to love;
God made man and woman that they
might love, and labor together.
Last Tuesday morning, at the
bride’s home. Miss Minnie Lou Riley,
daughter of Mr. J. S. Riley was mar¬
ried to Dr. F. P. Griffin of Leary, at
8.30 o’clock, Rev. Frank McCollogh
officiating.
Mr. T. W. Tinsley and Miss Nettie
Nettie Dozier, Mr. Charles Isler and
Miss Lillian Griffin acted as escorts of
the bride and groom to the alter.
Miss Minnie Riley was one of Cal¬
houn county*s prettiest and sweetest
young ladies, while Dr. Frank P,
Griffin is a leading physician of this
section. We think it useless for the
Monitor to go into details of the
wedding, and will only’ say, that a
better doctor, a more genial, high
toned gentleman never wedded a
prettier or more popular young lady.
Everybody knows Dr. and Mrs.
Griffin, for they were favorites before
marriage, and doubly so now.
Immediately after the cermony Dr>
Griffin and his bride left for Nashs
ville, Tenn, Mammoth Cave, Ky,
and other points of interest.
The MONITOR wishes them a pleas¬
ant and trip and a long life of happiness
usefulness among their friends
in old Calhoun.
Court Poi'ceediugs.
At 10 o’clock last Monday morning
Sheriff Davis announced in the usual
form that.,the “Juno term, 1897, of
Calhoun Superior Court is now open.”
Judge W. N. Spence took his seat
upon the bench, and the business of
a busy The court week began in earnest
Grand Jury was called in and
after the usual questions askou them
as and to excuses, they were sworn in
the Judge proceeded with bis
charge. The charges writer has listened to a
great mauy from the court,
but we think a more pointed, learned,
or concised charge was never deliver-
ed to a jury. The special features
of the charge were the bad habits of
carrying concealed weapons, gani'-
bling Judge and cruelty to animals. The
told she Grand Jury that they
had no right to settle crimnal cases;
that thev should return a bill or no
bill. In his charge on cruelty to
animals the Judge said that the best
friends the domestic animals of this
country have is the grand juries.
The jury retired and went to work
with a vim to dispatch all business
brought before the body as soon as
possidlo. Several bills were return¬
ed, tho books and accounts of ttie
various officers of the county inves¬
tigated and reports received.
Alter two and a half days of hard
work the grand jury adjourned
Wednesday afternoon, and their gen¬
eral persentments will be published
in our next issue.
The civil docket was cleared as far
as possible by Wednesday noon, and
the criminal docket turned to.
The most important cases tried on
the civil docket were J. T. P. Daniel
vs. Barney Pace, verdict for the
plaintiff; Bostwiek and Toole vs. J.
S. Cowart & Co., verdict for defend¬
N. ant! Daniell, Burden, Coleman & Co., vs, J.
verdict for defendant.
Some lively times were experienced
by the attorneys, defondants and
prosecutors when tho crimnal docket
was struck. The Grand J ury re¬
turned Cooke, Jr. bills against Judge J. II.
and Solictor L. G. Car-
tleage of the county court for mal
practice in office and extortion. The
itor case Wooten came up made Thursday, and Solic¬
for the a good showing
State but tho jury thought
they were not guilty of the charge,
and these gentleman stand exhonor-
ated,
The next case of interest was tho
State vs. Leo Brown, colored. Lee
stood charged with perjury in the
Tom Keaton case. This case was,
handled by the February term of
court, but tho jury made a mistrial.
This time, however, Leo was set free.
When the Monitor went to press wo
we left Solictor-General Woten,Judge
Jim Guerry, Cols. Arthur Powell, J.
L. Boynton, L. G. Cartleage, G, H.
Dozier and others “fighting for their
rights.” The futher proceedings of
our “hot” June Court will be publish¬
ed uext week.
Everybody Says So.

derful and medical refreshing discovery of the age, pleas¬
ant to the taste, act gently
