Romantic MARRlAGks.-The recent
marriage of Miss Eta BUT. the beauti-
ful daughter of the late DR. Burt, of
North Carolina, 10 Mr. Robert Griffin,
OF Texas. at the residence OF Mr.. sam
ucl l.. Eichebcr, uncle OF the bride, on
the York road, recalls IN interesting
aud romantic incident. The contract
ing parties met when they were much
younger, the groom then twelve years
Cd aud the bride eight years old. They
never met again until two days before
the wedding, which occurred on Thurs
day evening last During the interven-
ing time, or rather a portion of il, they
corresponded frequently. Through this
correspondence, the proposal and ac-
ceptance, the engagement and all tho
preliminaries to the nuptiaIs, were made.
The wedding was quite brilliant affair.
Mr.. Griffin aud his bride will leave in n
few days for Texa, where they will re-
side. A similar, but more remarkable,
instance occurred many years age. A
very accomplished young lady, residing
with her parents at Shcpherdstown, a.,
had friends in Georgetown with whom
she curresponded. rhe young lady was
possessed of a remarkably amiable dis
position, and was especially gifted as
writer. Some of her letters were shown
to n gentleman who was thea a teacher
in a large classical school in GcUge'
town. The gentleman charmed with
the letters that he nad been permitted
TO read, asked and obtained permission
to correspond with the young lady.
This correspondence first began on gen
era literary ard social subjects, subsc.
quently drifted into sentimental, aud
finally into an engagement and marriage.
The union turned out TO be one Of tho
very happiest Both are now dead, but
they lived 10 rear a large family ofchild.
ren, one of whom is now the principal
of classical school at the seat of one
of the leading Southern collcges.-Bdt-

IMPROVED "BUCKEYE" CIDER
AND WINE MILL.

We ask persons in want of Good, Sub
stantial, Complete and Reliable Portable
Mill. to examine ours before purchasing
any other. Two men can grind and press
from / to S barrels of cider per day. These
mills crush the apples instead OF grating
as mostall others do. They have three
cast iron cylinders, with fluted ribs, the
first or upper cylinder crushes it into a
coarse pomace, and then feeds it through
the lower cylinders, which crushes it into
Il fine pomace, it being impossible for
any to pass through without being thor
ougly crushed. More than ten thousand
of these mills have been sold during the
past ten wears. and have everywhere Civ
en- general satisfaction. Sec sample, next

Dad" LOOK llERE.-Onco in a while n
gentleman drops iEto our Office and tells
us to stop his paper, saying as an ex-
cuse, 81 have more reading matter now
than can manage; / take several city
popers, and besides times are hasd.' In
our opinion the gentleman who utters
this sentiment possesses very little dis
crotion, aud could hardly be recommeu-
ded as representative citizen. Nothing
seems TO US more plain than that tho
institution that rebounds to the benefit
Of community should be the first TO
receive the patronage Of the resident OF
that community. We approve OF per
son subscribing for n city paper when
he can afford il, but first Of all support
your local paper 1t is the Journal that
builds up your country aud supports
your home institutions, the city paper
does not do this; it is foreign TO yoa a.
the city wherein it is published. IL may
contain more reading matter but your
neighborhood is not represented in It's
columns. But 10 all sensible men tho
fact is patent anc requires no argument
that you should "help the man that
helps you

who remember Mr.. Stephens - the
leader of the Wings in the House Of
Representatives in ls4s to 1890 will not
need to be told how able and learned he
is; nor to be reminded of the fact that
he has never been anything but an in
dustrious student; searching into the
history and practicing at the law of his
State, and of nations as we'll, has been
his daily vocation. None will dare de-
ny him learning or ability. As a logi-
clan or skillful parliamentarian be
stands as the peer Of all his fellow men,
bers and the superior. Of nine-tenths ol
the whole House. His words are there
fore worthy Of consideration and should
have weight with all parties. Without
espousing all of Mr.. Stephens views, al
he seems to utter the Southern senti-
ment, we present the great points of hi,
