Let me assure you that gathering
items of interest for newspaper,
especially in the country, is very
much like hunting for needles in a
haystack. We have had no deaths
recently. Health. mans most prec-
ious boon, is good. Well, as to
marriages, the grand event of the
season has come and is numbered
with the past, but never to be for.
gotten. We have the pleasure to
say that on last Thursday evening
at 81 o'clock Mr.. j. L. Caruthers
led fhe beautiful and accomplished
Miss Jennie Yokely to the hymeni-
al altar. The marriage ceremonies
were performed by Rev. j. +. Walk
er. The attendants were Miss AL
ice Yokely and Mr.. S. d. White OF
West Point, Miss, and Miss Alice
Hannah of Columbia and Mr.. Sam.

While it is true that out of the full
Tess of the heart the mouth speak
eth, l realize now very keenly
that the heart can be too full for
free utterance. At this moment
above all others / could desire to be
especially capable of giving express
sion to my feelings, but when
need words most / find myself al
most a bankrupt for want of them.
1 can only echo the words of Ham
let, "Beggar that l am, l am poor
even in thanks" There is only one
thing to me shades the pleasure of
this moment and that is the con-
seriousness that l do not deserve
this honor. But as it has been
my rare ,good fortune during the
past year or so tn represent the
hospitable and christian people of
this locality without ever infringing
on the privileges or irritating any
of their feelings. l feel that | may
speak of them in my own way. Mr..
j. +. Caruthers is one of Tennes-
sees noblest sons. He is too well
known for me to add anything to
his record as high toned gentleman
in every respect To speak of the
ladyship of the once Miss Jennie
beggars aid. AS she leaned on the
strong mans arm her beauty TO a
strangers first glance would have
been marked. She was of pearly
Wilderness. Her form, exquisite and
queenly, was worthy to become a
sculptoTs model. But natures
rarest gift was the rich bloom upon
her cheek and dewy vermillion OF
her lips. Profound and brilliant,
she invariably conveyed the impress
sion to the mind of all that met her
of being n thoroughly cultivated
woman; one whose requirements
were far beyond her modest exhibit
ton Of thought and sentiment. In
society she shone as a star of the
first magnitude; at home she was
happy, cheerful and amiable. The
attendants were greatly admired
and a universal wish expressed that
the gallant gentlemen and fair maid
ems might long remember the oc-
casion as one of pleasure. Misses
III. and Y. accompanied the bride
and groom to their home at West
Point. May their trip be a pleas
ant and agreeable one. Mr.. Hugh
Caruthers and family of Lawrence,
Mr.. Thos. Maury and wife of Mar
shall, Mr.. Silas Harmon Of Maury,
also Rev. A. A. Baker Of Maury,
Mr.. VIM. Smith and wife of Lynn
vile, Mrs. Sallie Fry Of Lynn creek,
were in attendance. The attend
ance consisted principally of rela-
tives of the bride and groom
The supper gotten up under the
auspices of Mrs. DIR. Campbell and
Mrs. II. G. Horn was beyond all at
tempt to describe, unless you had
been there with a knife and fork.
We are under lasting obligations to
the happy couple for their compli
ments paid us. We are pleased to
note the visit of DIR. II. /. Campbell
and wife of Pleasant Valley to our
village. We are ever proud TO have
the DIR. and his most estimable
lady with us. We are more than
pleased to see our Bohemian youth
in our midst. We feared that he
had hied away to another land.
But his grief has been weighed and
his calamity is now laid in the
scales. Success to him and his
lovely-well we are not going to
call any names. Services were
held at the G. p. Church last Sab
bath by Rev. Samuel Cosby, Jr.
Everybody was pleased with his
sermon, and hope that he may Wis
it our church often. Asking for
