War News In Brief.
President McKinley sent that long
delayed message in to Congress
Monday, and it. fell very flat because
of its lack of aggressiveness. While
asking for tho power to intervene
and put a stop to the war in Cuba,
the bulk of the message was an ar¬
gument against the recognition of
the independence of Cuba. “The
trail of the serpent” was over the
whole message.
This threw tho question of war
into congress where it constitution¬
ally belongs, and on Tuesday reso¬
lutions were reported directing the
president to intervene at once in
Cuba, to restore peace island and secure stable
to tho people of the a
and independent government, and
authorizing him to use tho army
and navy to execute the purpose of
the resolutions. The houso passed
t he resolut ions Wednesday by a vote
of 322 to 19. Eight Georgians voted
against the resolutions, among the
number Congressman Griggs of this
district. The Senate had not taken
a vote at our last hearing, but will
probably endorse the action of tho
House. And that will mean war.
Spain takes a defensive stand and
will repel any Cuba attack and upon denies her sov¬ the
ereignty in
right of the United States to inter¬
fere in the affairs of the island.
Consul Lee was given a magnifi¬
cent ovation in Washington Tues¬
day. He declares that the battle¬
ship Maine was blown up by Span¬
ish officials.
The members of tho House en¬
gaged in a lively fight during the
debate on Cuba Wednesday. Brumm
of Pennsylvania called Bartlett of
Georgia a liar, and the Georgian re¬
sented it promptly. Pandemonium
reigned for several minutes.
The flying squadron was ordered
to sea under sealed orders Wednes¬
day. It is thought it will intercept
the Spanish probable fleet that en route the for Culm. of
It is troops

Marriage I11 Florida,
Wednesday evening, April 6th, at
•V o’clock, our esteemed friend, Mr.
E. M. Putnam, of this city led to
Hymen’s altar—in Fort White—Miss
Lura lluehingson. Tho ceremony
was performed at the First Baptist
Church, and Rev. It. F. Rogers, of
Like City, officiated. Quito a good¬
ly number of Mr. Putnam’s friends
from here were in attendance, and
wo regret very much that our busi¬
ness was such that we could not
take advantage of the invitation to
he one of the number. Tho attend¬
ants were Mr. I. M. Putnam with
Miss Clam Wliildon and Mr. James
Dow with Miss Ella Groover. After
the ceremony was over, ltov. Rogers
spoke very appropriately for a few
minutes, on the marriage subject.
Mr, Putnam is one of popular High Springs’
most prosperous and young
business men, and Miss lluehingson
is one of Fort White's most lovely
young ladies. They left on the af¬
ternoon train, over the Plant sys¬
tem, for Mr. Putnam's old homo at
Arlington, Ga. After a few days’
stay in Georgia, they will return to
this, their future home, and the
News will join their many friends in
extending them a hearty welcome.—
High Springs (Fla.) News.
Mr. Putnam and his bride arrived
in Arlington Thursday afternoon
and were heartily welcomed by rel¬
atives and friends.
A reception was held in their
honor, on Thursday evening, at. the
home of the groom's uncle, Mr. J.
B. Lofton, at which the invited

Collier and Miss Ela Sheffield, Mr.

An elegant collation was served
during the evening, and tho floral
decorations were superb. The guests
of the evening describe the affair as

which was sewed up by Drs. Terry
and Griffin. Tho three young men
were then lodged in the “town

Gentlemen—Replying to yours of
recent date relative to result and
satisfaction with which we have used
your Culvert Pipe, would say that
we have been using it for over ten
years on our highways and public
buildings and it has given perfect
satisfaction. We are doing away
with all the small wooden crossways,
which are a continual annoyance
and expense, and replacing them
with your pipe, which has the ap¬
pearance of lasting forever. We
take pleasure in recommending it to
our neighboring counties to he far
cheaper rad more permanent than
any cross-way that we have used.
We feel safe in making the above
assertion, as the pipe that was laid
ten years ago is intact and in a per¬
fect state of preservation. We can
give no higher endorsement than to
say, after using your pipe continually
for so long a period, that Bibb coun¬
ty is still purchasing her pipe almost
weekly of your company. Yours
truly, G. M. Davis,
Cha’n Bibb Co. Com’rs.
