Notwithstanding the disagrseable
weather of last Thursday evening,
the house Of Mrs. Pennybaker, en-
Seventh avenue, was filled to over
flowing to witness the marriage of
Emmett L. Ferguson and Mollie l..
PenBybaker.
As the hour for the ceremony drew
near, everybody began to get i'm
patient, but exactly at $50 o'clock
the young couple came into the room
looking as though it was nothing
but a party had come to spend the
evening.
The bride was dressed in a white
swiss dress, with gloves and slippers
of the same color. The groom was
dressed in black shit, and white kid
gloves.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mitchell of this city, in the
quickest manner possible. After the
ceremony and congratulations of
their hCsts of friends, and refresh
ments, nearly every one accompanied
the happy couple to Mr.. Perkins's
and tripped the light fantastic toeun-
til the wee sma' hours, when they re-
turned to their homes well pleased
with the manner they had spent the
evening. The next day the happy
couple departed on few days visit
to Mr.. Ferguson's brother at Alder
son, formerly of the AlderSOn Enter
prise. They have returned, looking
as well as usual, and we are happy
to see that we will not miss Mollio
from the Post Office, for few weeks
at least. May they live long and
and prosper is the wish Of their many
friends.

The "Owls Reply to "NiIl Dee"

There are few things the "OWI'
enjoys more than to stir up the ami
mails. He was permeated with a
sweet and holy JOY when threatened
with indictments and foggings; and
remembers yet the pleasant glow
that warmed his heart when Robert
Mccormick was filing the ears of
delighted listeners with his griefs and
com plants; and it was with similar
satisfaction that he read Kill Dee's"
letter in the ARGUS Of Dec. Dist, in
reply to a notice printed the week
before in regard to the telegraph OPP
orator and his love.
xiii Dee" has, evidently, read
the fable of the sarcastic ass" He
is a critic Of language, but seems as
though" is one of lis tayorite express
sions, and he does not know the diff
ference between an adverb and an
adjective. He is a critic Of Ian
guage, but he constructs sentences
without subjects, and sentences with
out predicates. He uses quotations
lavishly to show his learning, but the
quotations are from books Of prov
cribs and school books. With ths
usual egotism of inexperienced VIII
tiers, he uses the plural first PERSONAL
pronoun in the opening paragraph Of
his letter, bat with more becoming
modesty, closes with the singular
form. This makes his letter seem
like patchwork quilt. But "what
right have poor devils like we to be
nice?" We must read as xiii Dee
chooses to write.
Il. quoting a sentence from the
"Owls" last letter, (and, by the way,
those quotations are the best part of
his letter. ''Eill Dee" adds in parep-
thesis, "leather medal to any one eX-
planning this pun This witticism
originated early in the nineteenth
century, in the brain Of a fourth
class humorist; it was published in
almanacs, became the property of
negro MINISTRIES, and when it grew
too old for their use, descended to
ambitious correspondents of the Kill
Dee" type. In the sentence he criti-
cises, no pun was inteaded. The
nicely of xiii Dee's' giant ear was
deceived by alliterative sounds.
Give ear, o "Kill Dee ~ while the
cow gives you some advice. The
cow is "to fortune and to fame I'm

in newspaper writing than you have

your critical talents in your own let

don't quote from almanacs and school
books. This advice, intelligently
followed, will in future keep you
from errors that would disgrace a
school boy.
When you next want to get even

The Concert, Monday night, at the
Baptist Church, given By Professor
Powell, was all that the most unchar-
liable could wish. Mrs, Snedegar
rendered "Old Folks al Home" and
Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fall, in a
manner highly creditable to home
talent, and was greeted with well
earned applause. The Professor i'm
pressed his audience, from the start,
that he understood his business, con-
trolling, with equal ease, both the
instrument and his naturally fine
voice. Some objected that he sang
too much of the sea, but with that
single exception, all agree that it was
a rare treat of chaste, heightened
music.

THE Charleston, South Carolina, News,
the special organ of the Democrats of the
State, referring to the necessity of repeating
the registration law in order more easily to
suppress the colored vote, says that no ner-
vous regard for consistency should prevent
the abolition of the law by the Legislature,
and that the highest consistency is that
which varies the means while looking steadi-
ly to one and the same end. That end is,
as the News frankly declares, to increase the
political power of the whites The theory
of the Southern Democrats is, as the more
candid among them freely say, to prevent
the colored voters from securing political
power in those localities where they have
numerical majority. This is to be done to
the end that the government may be a
"white mans government under all cir
cumstances and at whatever cost. This re-
suit the Democrats would prefer to attain
by laws which could be construed so as to
give the repression the color of authority;
if this cannot be done, fraud will be resorted
to, and il this does not suffice violence will
be exercised.

ATLANTA, Georgia, has been heard from
again, that enterprising southern village be-
ing on the alert to have itself mentioned
in telegraph dispatches upon the smallest
proyosation. This time a brace of fire-eat-
ing Georgian editors contrived to let the au-
duel and get one-half of the belligerent
crowd captured, so as to prevent the danger
of seeking the bubble reputation at the
pistols muzzle. This theory Of duelling on
paper might be simplifed by the use of pith
pop-guns; it would be equally bloodless and
rather more humorous than the alleged ac-
cidental interference scheme.
