From the Athens Ala.) Post, NJ rch Sth.
1t will be remembered by many Of our c,ti-
ZSns that at q wedding which was solsmniZ d
near Rustyhut, Ga, some time Ia lS45, tha
the brides ther was killed in diff Guilty wi
the brother of her husband. This occurrence
perhaps Is brought too readily to the minds of
many of our readers. 1t Is, 10 those ac-
guainted with the circumstaI ce, known that
the bride OF but few hours atte n pied to kill
her husband with pistol. Tne wife and hus-
band parted. She went TO an interior village
out of the war on his plantatio although be
married in the mean time, and to HIM was
born a son, W hich son entered the army OF the
Confederate States, and followed the banners
of Dick Taylor, Magruder, and others of the
noble chieftains vho commanded the soldiers
around the Gulf. After the war the young
man wandered about through the Gulf States,
and finally located in Texas, where his fathers
former wife lived. She had resumed her
maiden name, and was the proprietress OF a
large and well-paying hotel, where she had
accumu ulated an immense fortune. Arriving at
the village the young man stopped at the ho-
tel, and was well provided for by the enter
prising matron. Neither knew the relation Of
one to the other, and although there 10 vast

man Of nearly forty-an intimacy sprang mp
resulted in the proposition, by the young man,
of marriage. He was accepted, and in q few
days the quiet hotel was the scene OF marriage
revelry. Thus the solemn wedding ceremony
united man to the wife Of his father-his
mother, maryland to the would-be assassin
of his father. Verify, truth is stronger than

LIrE INSURANCE have several
times adverted to the benefits of life
insurance An event which recently
transpired shows the advantages of insur-
ance, and puts the matter in light
which will be readily comprehended by
all. Mr.. C. P. Ferry, General Agent
for one of the Life Insurance companies,
came to this city few days ago, to pay
to the widow of our late townsman, NJ.
w. Mack, the amount due her on the
life policy of her husband, amounting to
S4,625. AS Mr.. Ferry passed through
Salem on his way to this city, he paid
over to the widow of J. G.. Martin ex-
actly the same amount of money on a
similar policy. By singular coincidence
Mr.. Mack and Mr.. Martin insured their
lives at about the same time for the same
amount, and both died at about the same
time. Tie premium paid in each case
was s376 Here are benefits conferred,
by paying but q small amount of money,
that can be understood and appreciated.
Our advice to all is, take out a policy.
We are insured.
