-Chesley W. West was married
to Miss Matte A. Bates at the
brides fathers, Davis Bates, near
Elkmont, Ala, last Tuesday morn
ing. Henry H. Foster and S. w.
Spivy went down and saw the nup-
tlal knot well tied. The bridal par
ty came up on the evening train and
went out to Eeq. w. o. Vests,
where a handsome reception greeted
them. The parties are quite young
and we wish for them a life of use
fuIness and unalloyed happiness.
Young man, go thou and do like

Our especial friend Cecil
Grigsby starts to his far-away
Pacific home in California Monday.
He has an interesting family of
four children and an intelligent and
affectionate wife, all of whom hold
a warm place in our hearts. We
wish Cecil abundant success, but
would much prefer his staying with
US. He goes to take charge of the
wine business of a rich relative.
The distance is 2400 miles, all by
rail. He, like sensible man, has
ordered the CITIZEN forwarded him
and promised us a description of his
new home and experience for the
CITIZEN when he gets located.
1t is an officers privilege usual
Iy to carry the keys upon other per-
sons, but the tables were turned
{ and also the key Saturday upon
two of our officials. Justice Nc
Laurine and Constable Grigsby
have their office over Digger sfami
y grocery and upon that day Mr.
Digger locked them in and went
off unceremoniously, leaving them
prisoners with barrels and boxes |
or companions, and candy jars to
'olace them. They called as Justify |
is they could with mouths full of |
andy. The demolition of candy,
tc., indicates that cholera medicine
will be next in order.
