The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution in i,s issue

merry and hsppy wedding in Columbia, S.
{. The groom was Mr.. Emanuel Jones,
young gentleman of about twenty years OF
age, and the bride was Miss Emily Rabson,
lady oil beauty and c0lture, and few
years his iunior. Both were well-known
and highly esteemed and respected by
large circle Of friends and acquaintance.
The groom was engaged in a lucrative busi-
ness, and fer him aud his bride life had a
rosy tiDge, and but for the late war there
might have been happy fruiton Of all
their dreams. When the war came on Mr..
Jones was the father of three happy, beauti-
full children; the husband OF devoted wife
and the possessor OF an attractive home,

soldier placed between the leaves of his
Bible, and wore over his heart throughout
the war, Mr.. Jones heard nothing from his
home. The end finally came. Lee gave up
his sword at Appomattox, and the men whs
for years had endured hunger, hardship
and fatigue were once more free
TO seek their homes. With heart
heavy because his cause was a lost one,
but with an elastic step and an eye
beaming with joy, the Sonth Carolina volun-
teer turned his face toward his home and
within few days was trampipg the streets
that so often had echoed his step. The few
years absence had wrought its changes.
They were many and severe, but the severest
of all to the soldier was his inability 10 find
his family. But 10 the war which he was
then fighting alone he proved himself as good

himself as conquerer when he ascertained
that his wife and children were then in Au-
