LYNNVILLE.

The most important occurrence il
this neighborhoOd since our last COM
munication has been the marriage of
the handsome and enterprising Mr.
Whitney Fry, tenth son of Mr.. Martin
Fry, TO Miss Sallie Hogan, daughter Of
Mr.. James Hogan, all OF this vicinity.
The rites were performed on Thursday
the Sth inst, about five p NJ, by the
Rev. Mr.. Tyler, G. p. minister at Old
Lynnville. We did not have the pleas
ure of witnessing the important event {;
only a few of the immediate relatives
and friends OF the happy bride and
groom being present. After the mar
riage, others, of the gay and festive, as
sem bled at the residence OF the brides
father, and as we know spent an enioya-
BILE evening. \ long, prosperous and
happy life for Whitney and his beauti-
full bride, is the sincere wish of their
numerous friends here.
The decline in the price of wheat has
met with a corresponding diminution
i'm the sales of that staple, in this mar
ket, many farmers preferring to hold
for a while and take their chances for
future reaction. There have been
about five or SIX thousand bushels sold
or shipped at this place. The country
expects and no doubt will experience
much relief from its proceeds. 1t was
nearly all grown in this immediate
neighbOrhOOd. If the money it brings
in, although the amount would be com
paratively small, was judicously hand
died i. e. so circulated as to pay dt BITS
fO- the greatest possible number of in
dividuals before reaching the vaults of
those from whom it almost never goes
out again, we think it might 90 very

Mr.. Jones of Columbia will COM
mence d series of meetings at the C. P.
church in Old LynnVille on the fourth
Saturday in August. The services are
to be protracted for a week, perhaps
longer. 1t will be remembered that
quite an interesting meeting was held
at that place about a year ago, at which
many hopeful converts were made, the
results of which, through the untire-
ing efforts of the Rev. Mr.. Tyler, were
the organization of G. p. Church and
the building of a new and commodious
house of worship at that place, which
latter we regret to say in not yet entire
ly completed.
Our people are eagerly looking for
ward to the first Sabbath in August, as
Rev. DIR. Rivers of Pulaski has engaged
to fill Mr.. StOdGerts pulpit on that day.
We have heard much of the Doctors
eloquence, oratory, &C., and anxiously
await his appointment. We trust he
will not disappOint us. We were glad
to see DIR. Grant, and Capts. FlournOy
and Irwin in town yesterday. They
were looking so cheerful and pleasant
that it made US wish they would come
Oftener; such faces as theirs, in these
| hard times, revive US nightly.
! Mr.. Brainard Crazy has been in town
this week visiting his old preceptor MI
Stoddert and other friends. He, il
company with Messrs 10. Rogers, Jes-
sic Tomlinson and others, have JUS
returned from the University of Va.
where they have been prosecuting
studies in the different departments Of
| that institution, Brainard looks to be
/ in much better health than wheI
he left here a year ago. We hope 10
and Jessie will put in their appearance
among US soon. They have many
friends here who will be glad to SCI
them.
Bill Smith got mad at us for tellin!
you he had so much wheat to sell, w
don't know why, unless he is afraiI
some of his almost countless "chums
will want to borrow little money from
him. We know he's got the whea
and is going to sell it too. SUB.
