CONSIDERABLE surprise was expressed
yesterday over the rumor that Mr.. R. W.
Lighburne, jr, and Miss Lizette Chiles,
daughter of Mr.. Henry Chiles, were married.
1t turned out to be true. The ceremony
took place at the residence of the Rev N
M. Long, pastor OF the Strangers' church.
The couple are young, but they ought TO be
hsppy. Mics Chiles is an amiable and beam
tiful young lady, and the APPEAL wishes
her and her husband bushel of good luck.
The remains of Col. WilIoughby Williams
were barred in Mount Oivet Cemetery,
Nashville, on Sunday. The remains were

ExGov. james d. Porter, Messrs. A. G.
Adams, Arson Nelson, M. Burns and James

ers, followed the remains into the church.
DIR. J. B. McFerrin and the Rev. C. d. Elliott
occupied the pulpit with the Rev. T. A.
Hoyi, and all delivered appropriate adj
dresses. Elsewhere we publish very full
biogra phical sketch OF Col. Williams, who
was as wellsknown in Memphis as in Nash
vile.
Mr. G. P. HUNTINGTON, president OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. accompanied
by number of gentlemen who are inter-
ested with him in the Southern Pacific and
other railroads, is on a tour of inspection of
their properties, and will doubtless take
Memphis in their route back to New York.
While in the Southwest, it is slid that Mr..
Huntington will make a thorough inspec-
ton of his properties. Anyone who
keeps posted on railway affairs csnnot fail
20 have seen that within the past five years
Mr.. Huntington has been aiming to make
himself, il not master OF the situation in the
Southwest, at least the equal of any magnate |
who controls railroad property in that sec
tion of the country. In glancipg over the |
map of the country and following the routes |
which he controls, and others in which he |
has large interests, it will readily be seen |
that he not only is entitled to be ranked |
with the foremost railroad managers |
of the country, but the indications |
are that if his properties increase in
value as rapidly in future as they have /
in the past, he will soon be ranked the peer |
Of any manager in the land. His operations /
have been chiefly in the newest portions Of /
he country, and If he should never smass
he wealth that Vanderbilt or Gould claim,
t can be said of Mr.. Huntington, when he /
lies, that he was one who aided greatly in
building up the waste places of the country. /
