A recent matrimonial venture IN

The affair was an elopement.
A few of the young folks met at the
residence of one OF our best citizens
few evenings ago and had a merry
time tripping the eight fantastic -

one time was popular and infuen-
tial merchant of this place, also Wis
tied us recently.
Quite train of emigrants passed
through here last week, en- route to
Texas. They were from the Merry
vile neighborhood and comprised
some of the best citizens of that IA
nous section of country.
There is some cotton in the fields
yet; but little wheat has been sown;
hogs have all been killed and
Christmas turkeys ditto. Our peo-

ready to subscribe for the CITIZEN,

The new Christian church here
is finished, and the congregation

Mr.. Raid Mcclure was the builder
and the edifice is creditable to his
taste and skill as workman. Elder
William Dixon, of Marshall county,
is the pastor. Mr.. George A. Wat
son is having the finishing touches
put to his new private residence,
built by Messrs. John Brooks and |
Hugh Pinkertou. The building is
a model of convenience and com

iveness of the neighborhood.
Messrs. j. G King and Bill Davis

is not improved. Masters Clyde,
Claude and Willie Harris, three
bright little sons of Mr.. G. A. Har-
ris, have opened a very attractive
little stock of Christmas goods in
the house formerly occupied by
Mr.. j. w. Kennedy. Their mer-
camille operations will only extend
through the holidays, we suppose.
