On last Friday night, in the
presence of a few curious spec- i
tators, Miss Dessie Chester and ■
Mr. Albert Wood, both of!
Uvalda, werS united in the holy !
bonds of wedlock in the office of
the ordinary, Judge Kent official-!
ing.
The young couple came in
on. the night train, and it was 1
with some difficulty they sue-j
ceeded in finding an officiating,
officer, but coming in contact!
with our genial policeman, he ac-1
companied them to the ordinary |
where he issued the license and ;
performed the ceremony. Par
ental objections was evidenced
by their actions, and the Judge
propounded questions which 1
were readily answered by the'
couple, that justified him in issu .
ing the license, notwithstanding!
the late hour. After the cere-!
mony and congratulations had ;
been extended, the couple were!
accompaniad to the Elkins hotel. |
They returned next day to Uval- '
da, where they will make their

Mr. Clark’s Reason
For Not Announcing.
Helena, Ga., April 14, 1914.
Editor, Wheeler County Eagle.
Dear Sir:—After promising
you and others that my formal
announcement for the Georgia
Legislature would be forthcom
ing after the primary, I feel it
my duty at this time to set forth
the reason why I have not an
nounced
I had my platform on which I
stood prepared for the press- but
after listening to the hum of the
political machenry I soon dis
covered that I was not to have a
fair deal, because it is political
practice, if you see your oppo
nent has the advantage, induce
others in the race that would
weaken his forces, and is I could
plainly see this was being done,
I did not feel like, being unmerci
fully stabed in thatway. Sol
wish to thank one and all for
their voluntary pledge in my be
half, and I wish to assure those
that were standing by me so loyal
ly that if in the future there is
anvihing I can do for them, com
mand me.
I think it the duty of man that
aspire to this honorable station,
if they stand for anything, they
should give it to the public, they
should express their views on
the great moral questions of the
day; so that the people may vote
intelligently. Now Mr. candi
dates give us (at your expense)
your reason for wanting the ? suf
frage 01 the people to elevate you
to this high station, If you have
no reasons neither any higher
ideals than to go and draw your
per diem, then your present an
nouncement is sufficient. Speak,
let the people hear. When the
wicked rule the people mourn.
Hoping that Wheeler county
will have a representative, I re
main, Yours very truly,
W. Henry Clark.
Calf Killed By Auto.
On last Tuesday morning com
ing in from an early call, while
passing the home of Mr. B. A.
Guest, who lives near town, Dr.
T. H. Nelson’s car struck a fine
Jersey calf, which jumped in
front of the machine, belonging
to Mr. Guest, perhaps breaking
every bone in its body. The ac
cident, the Doctor says, was un
avoidable, but an agreement was
reached, however, and the price
of the calf was paid.
Elsewhere in this issue will
be found the formal announce
merit of Mr. J. D. Brown, who
| offers for the office of Represen
Itative in the lower house of the
I general assembly. Mr. Brown’s
announcement will be read with
great interest by his many
| friends oyer the county, and
। will be with him in the August
/primary. Mr. Brown would fill
i the place with credit, and will
receive a large vote at the hanus
of his friends.

Police Make Big
Saturday Night Hani.
Mess rs. Enn i s and l^den b u ry,
Alamo’s two efficient policemen,
made a lively haul of gamblers,
interspersed with a number of
drunks and disorderly culprits
last Saturday night. The gamb
lers were located in a small
house below Kent’s springs, and
though they were not all arrest
ed, sufficient proof was gained
from some who were arrested,
that lead to the arrest of the
whole bunch, including white
and black, male and female.
They were arraigned before
mayor Tomlinson Tuesdav morn
ing, about t welve in number,
and received fines ranging from
SIO,OO to $25,00. The majority
of them plead guilty, and the
business of the court was rapid
ly dispatched —with the familiar
song—s2s,oo and cost.
Some of them were unable to
raise the money, and the town
got one day’s work out of three
of them, but they were later
paid out, and the treasury en
riched to the tune of over S2OO.-
