ting. The church, which was beautifully
decorated, was crowded to its utmost capac-
lily. Mrs. Kate freeman presided over the
organ. The ceremony was performed in the
most impressive msnrer, and at its conclu-
sion the bridal party repaired TO the hospita-
be residence of DR.. F. n. Dancy, the
brides father, where they were followed by

BILE reception wss held until IL O'Clock. The

On Thursday of last week about score OF
onr citizsrs, at the invitation of Msj. Hos
klps, went on an excursion On the Memphis,
Selma and Brunswick railroad to Victoris,
station on the new read about thirteen
miles distant. AT their destination, which
they reached in safety, they were entertained
ia the most hospitabie manner by Capt A.
O. Withers. The e1cursionsts we're highly
pleased with their trip, and upon their re-
turn they adopted resolutions thanking Mai.
Hoekias and Capt. Withers for the pleasant
manner in which they had been entertained.
As to the present condition of the Mem
phis, Selma and Brunswick road, it must be
confessed that were it not for the confident
promises of the contractors to complete the
road by the 1st OF next July, it's completion
at an carly date would certainly look 10 an
unpreiudicsd observer as anything but as.
suTed. Last week all the convicta, as well
as the majority Of the other laborers, were
discharged, ard except The track-laying, the
work is at a stan6still. In order 10 com
plete the rosd ii is necessary to purchase
iron for some fifteen or eighteen miles of
track, as we'll as 10 fuish the grading and
laying of the track. The editor OF one Of our
local papers, who seems 10 have obtained
his info ration from the contractors, saYs 10
his issus of mis- week: "As Mr.. Wo ffe is
already largely behind with the con FACTORS,
We learn they will not resume their LAHORE
until considerable payment il made. IF
this be true, it certainly does not look as if
The road would be completed by June 1sl,
whether Mr.. Wolff filled or uoi"-ihe sub
stance Of Mr.. Green's promise to your cor
respondent. Notwir hstanding the dubious
out ook, we bellows that M. Green was in
earnest, and th at the road will be completed
al the time specified, if not sooner.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen of this
city have passed an ordinance prohibiting
the owners of hogs from allowing them to
run Wild upon the streets, as they have done
10 the deep disgrace of our city for the last
d.csde. The ordinance will take effect on
the lst day of April, and We learn will be
strictly enforced, as il certainly ought 10 be.
All owners Of hogs, therefore, who have
provided no Enclosures for their animals had
better do 70 at once, unless they wish to zee
them taken charge Of by the city authorities
and sold 10 the highest bidder.
The United States Senate at its last ses-
sion refused very properly TO confirm the aP-
poinlment of John Mahon as postmaster OF
this city, and now rumor comes 10 the front
again with the announcement that Ben

cendiary type, is 10 receive the appointment,
and that Mahcn il 10 act as his deputy.
