Laura Mclean, Rev. A. G. Dinwid-
die officiating. We witnessed the
plighting of the mutual faith, be-
tween these two young persons.
Attired in snowy drapery, the girl
of modest mien appeared a beauti-
full bride.
May the union be a happy ne,and
life to them, a blessed reality.
The attendants, Miss SaIlie Bearden,

We have the pleasure in speaking
of Dr. Wilson, as a most estimable
northumberland in morals and
intellect, versed in literature and
medical science combining thus
the elements which foreshadow the
useful citizen-the successful man.
But Miss Ida, deserved a better
husband, if any where to be found.
Our best wishes accompany the

walks and flowery wales of a happy,
happy life.

Mr.. POweIl's Lecture.

Next Wednesday night Mr.. Pow
ell, of KY, will deliver his lecture
appearances and Realities" at
Antoinette Hail. We trust our PEG
pie will greet the popular and dis
tinguished gentleman with a full
house. We feel justified in guaran-
teeing them q most entertaining
lecture. We could make column
after column of extracts from the
press and from such men as Gen.
Breckenridge, endorsing the lectur-
er and the lecture, but we have not
the space to spare. We hope the
reader will remember the time and
place, and be sure to enjoy the rare
treat in store for all who may at
tend.
From Henderson, (Ky.O News.I
ave can assure our friends that
they will not be bored by the tedi
Gus reading of dry and uninter-
esting essay, so common with the
ordinary lecturer. Mr.. Powell is
perfectly at home on the platform.
He has keen perception of the
humorous and heart for the pa
thetic. In fact he is an inimitable
actor as well as an orator, in the
highest artistic sense of the word.
We guarantee that his hearers will
be treated to an elegant literary en-
tertainment, varied in its nature,
rich in pathos and eloquence, and
teeming with pure, unadulterated
fun and humor."

LYNNFILLE.

Our town has, during the past
week, been enlivened by the pres
ence of visitors some, in quest of
money. and some of other things,
among these last, we noted Capt
Towner, on a pilgrimage from
Blount Springs, after his wife, who
has been here for some weeks.
The Capt. thinks his prospects for
the coming season are splendid.
We hope for him and his wife all
the success which they so well de-
serve.
Among the visitors in search of
money, was the Rev. Alex. Smith of
Lincoln. When we state that he
had claim against ourselves, we
need hardly add that he left, sad
der if not a wiser man.
The air is thick with rumors of
matrimony, and some of our young
men, evidently believe with Jere-
miah, that it is good for a man to
bear the yoke in his youth. They
have for this long time been cunju-
eating the verb to yoke, in its va
rious parts, would be yoked, 1
should be yoked, can be yoked,
and now they have got to the near
future tense, 1 shall be yoked,
where they parse on to the present
passive, am yoked, and then to
the adverb yokely.
To step from the sublime to the
practical, bay mare with a star
on her forehead, was stolen the
other night from Mr.. Henderson's,
near this place. We only need a
few horse thieves to end US. The
cotton crop, is perhaps the worst
failure that has occurred since the
war. There are very few hogs, and
the pecuniary depression has had
no precedent for nearly half a cen
tury. 1t is hard to say where they
will 60. IfMr. w. R. Dickel son and
few other men, were to call in their
accounts, this end of the county
would be almost ruined. We are
glad to see that the monied men,
instead of using their influence to
make things worse, are doing all
they can to help people through
the hard times.
"Rus" of Aspen Hill was making
insinuations about our boarding
house, a short time ago. The word
"Rus" is possibly the abreviation
of Rusticus, which Jimmie Rivers,
pronounces, rusty cuss. If Rus,
does not take care, he will get in
trouble with the individual who is
now acting as matron of the estab-
lishment, and who is the same party
that is so active in jumping out of
windows, and over fences. t. L. N.

Bethel.


Messes Editors.-Among the pla-
ces of interest IN Southern Giles,
Bethel is entitled to fair share of
favorable public consideration. Sit
uated within one mile of Elk river,
on Jenkins creek, a tributary of Elk,
in a beautiful valley of rare fertility,
it is the home of a people character
lied by quietness, industry, thrift,
and intelligence. The skill and
taste of her mechanics are displayed,
in her neat and comfortable dwell
mgs, and those of the surrounding
country, some of which would do
credit by their elegance to places of
larger proportions and greater pre-
tensions. Her business stands are
in the hands and under the direction
of gentlemen well fitted to meet the
demands and supply the wants of
large and growing trade. Her mer-
chants keep on their shelves and
counters for the accommodation of
customers, almost everything found
in their line in larger towns. They
are affable, polite, and accommoda
ting, and enjoy a large amount of
confidence with the surrounding
community.
Work in wood, iron and steel, of
almost any and every kind desired,
is well executed here by the differ
ent artizans of the place.
Mr. Toll reigns supreme over every
interest. There is very little idling
or lounging about the village
Even Sambo, within the past twelve
months, seems to have shaken off his
native inertia, and addressed him
self earnestly to the business of max
ing living. The result is that the
moral tone of our community is
steadily improving, and Bethel may
yet bear of the palm from other
places in our county, making
louder pretensions in this respect.
while the lamp holds out to burn
the vilest siner may return" The
sentiment of this couplet may not
apply to us. If others think it does,
we tell them to "come and see."
We have a beautiful church, a
Jealous old pastor, and noble little
Sabbath School, whose history con-
tains no record of winter quar-
tiers. The mystic fraternity who
reared the first temple with
out the sound of a hammer
being heard along its vast arches
and corridors, Lhave here a name
and a habitation. The writer does
not feel at liberty to say anything
special of the school, except that it
viii close with public exercises on
Friday Dec. 3rd ana The evening fol
lowing, to which OF course every
body and his brother are invited.
In the make up of our community,
as everywhere else, the ladies eonsti-
tute the most highly priced element.
The friends of law and order, of a
higher civilization and nobler man
hood, the worthy, the virtueus, the
good everywhere enjoy their smiles
and favor. The church. the sunday
school, morality, religion, all find in
them unwavering defenders and I'M
faitering supporters. Their inhu-
ence, though kind and gentle, is ir-
resistible. Their personal charms
and attractions only heighten the
beauty of the picture. Here about
Bethel, they are, as the world over,
a tower Of defense to all that is noble
and manly. More anon. MENTOR.

When we read in the Winchester
Journal last week that there were
thirty widows in that place, it as
tonished us no little; but through
curiosity, we took the pains the
other evening to count the widows
in Pulaski, and TO our great sur
prise we could name forty-three
and we suppose there are many
whom we do not know. When we
commenced to count we did not sup
pose there were half so many.

The streets were not lighted up
last Tuesday night, and some one
caught a fall at Rosenau's corner.
The dereliction was in consequence
of John Martins sickness that
night, and his sickness was in con
sequence of eating lmmoderately at
Inman's wedding the night before.
We suppose John thought that was
the last of the weddings for this
season, and felt that old Ireland
must be fairly represented in the
new world. John carried up his
corner and maintained the honor of
the mother country.
