Only the especial Irlends OF the Drlue
witnessed the consummation OF antici-
pated bliss, and were given the pleasure
Of wishing them God speed. Emma is
noble, good girl, and We regretfully see
her leave Barnesville. Yet We trust
that the home she will SO royalty grace
will ever be one OF JOY and happiness,
and the dark clouds that must ever come
into human life be as nearly as possible
banshed from her pathway, and hap
py life, which she $50 truly deserves, be
her portion.
The Temperance Band held their reg

ing The programme was fine one,
and the good music WAS much enjoyed.

DR.. and Mrs. G.. 5. Wellons, celebrated
the 10Th anniversary OF their marriage
last Monday evening, by large and
elegant party. Some seventy-tve guests
were present and enjoyed the delights
of their hospitable home, and with wit
and repartee the hours flew rapidly
away. The presents were numerous
and handsome, and made fine display.
We wish for our host and hostess,
whose voyage of twenty years has been
peaceful and happy, continued JOY and
prosperity, and as the years go on may
the sunshine of peace and plenty IL
lume their pathway, and gild with its

The Republicans are making an active
campaign here, and have had two good
meetings and torchlight professions.
They are making lots of noise, and like
Johngec, "claim everything with conf
dence" The Democrats engaged Charles
Reemelin to speak in this place, where
there are not dozen German voters,
and then he didn't come. They are
also well organized, and although large
ly in the minority here, have a good
club and have had several good speeches
from local orators. Extensive prepara-
tons are being made for General Ew-
ing's meeting, TO be held on the 18th.
The streets will be handsomely decor
ated, and a large crowd is expected
from the country. The General IL per-
sonallv popular here and has many
friends and admirers.
Several correspondents from Cincin-
natl and Columbus have been here dur
ing the past week writing up business
and politics. GAINESVILLE is becoming
important as a news centre, and is being
constantly CLEANED by newspaper re-
pOrtors.
The Smyrna fair is being held this
week and has attracted several OF our
citizens. The fair managers at this
place are exerting themselves to give
the people the worth OF their money.
The fair commences on the 23d and
continues until the 10Th. In addition to
other attractions the celebrated Colum-
bus barracks band will attend and play
during two days of the fair and will give
a grand concert. This alone is worth a
visit to persons who have not had
opportunities OF hearing good music,
while the displays promise to be larger
than of other years, and everything that
can possibly promote good feeling and
interest and attract will be secured.
So let everybody come to the GAINESVILLE
fair, hear the good music, see the fast
horses, enjoy the pretty women and
get the most amount of pleasure they
can receive for twenty-five cents.
