Rural nipples.

-Onr little community has been
aroused from her lethargy by the
occurrence of two weddings which
we will notice farther on.
We were misinformed last
week as to the arrival of Mrs. Con-
yer Smith and her daughters from
Florida. Mrs. Smith arrived this
week but Misses Daisy and Ola
have not come yet.
The meeting at Moriah closed
last Saturday night. Rev. Mr..
Weaver of Fayetteville did some
excellent preaching.
The Trinity meeting is in
progress this week. Presiding Ell
der Duncan preached an excellent
sermon on the golden rule Sunday.
On last Sunday morning at the
residence of Mr.. Newt. IIardeman,
while several invited guests were
discussing general topics of the
day, a big white Bug(g) from
Pleasant Hollow, accom- panied by
his sisters, brothers and nearest
friends, drove up to the front gate,
alighted and walked in with as
much audacity as if he had some
indisputable right there. About g.
o'clock our pastor, Mr.. Tucker, ar
rived and, while we were all assem-
bled in the parlor, this big Bugg,
whom we shall now call Mr.. Ed
wards, with Miss Emma Hardeman
leaning upoa his arm, appeared be-
fore us as a candidate for matrimo-
ny. Mr.. Tucker stood in front ofl
them, and in a short, solemn and
impressive manner tied the silken
knot which henceforth binds their
destinies together. After congrat.
u'atIons by the friends and rela-
tives, we all attended the morning
services at Trinity. From there
we repaired to the residence of the |
groom's father where a delightful
wedding supper awaited us-such
as good mother and sister know |
how t prepare. Among the guests
present, we notice Miss Alice and
Mr.. and Mrs, Charles Witt of Bo-
denham, Miss Eula Turner of Pu-
laski, Ernest Brown of Bethel, Rob
ert Gardener of Texas, Pryor Gar
dener and Ben Edwards of Missis-
sippi. We anticipate a bright fu-
ture for this couple; for the groom
is one of our noble young men noted
for his industry and goodness of
heart. The bride is a beautiful.
nnassuming young lady of II sum-
ners. She won the prize in the
oth grade at Shorts Academy dur
ing the last term, but we did not
know at the time we presented it
hat she had also won the noble
prize which she received on the
10th day of Sept, 1885. She also
received another prize, a farm of
10 acres with a nice dwelling on il,
presented as g fathers gift ito du-
itul and loving daughter.
In our inauguration the mar
iage bells are Ginning the glad
ldlngs of another happy wedding
