county, was united in marriage to Miss S.
n. Oeorge, OF Baker county, at the home
OF the BRIDES mother, Sunday. The
groom went from Lumpkin to visit j. T.
hidd, an old friend. at whose house at the

future bride. The pair became mutually
smltten, and before the week had ended
gether, and on Sunday evening, as above
stated, were married. The groom had
been led to visit his old friend, MIR. Kidd,
not only by the ties OF friendship, but by
the additional offer which was made by

HartWell Sun: DR.. j. l.. Turner, of this
place, volunteered during the war and
was elected First Lieutenant in Capt. +.
o. %. hodges, cavalry company under Gen.
1oombs. While they were in camp at
Athens petition numerously signed by
the people Of the Doctors neighborhood
was sent to Gen. Toombs praying for the
discharge of DR.. Turner, as he was their
only practlcing physician and that they
couldn't be sick comfortably without
him. Gen. Toombs knowing that
DR.. Turner was not physically able
10 do army service, kindly
remarked to him: doctor, if you will re-
sign, | will accept your resignation"
The doctor resigned, and another man
was elected to his office, and his success
sorswapped him an unabridged Webster's
dictionary. for his sword, which he has
now. The doctor also presented one OF
his horses to the company, which was
ridden by Henry Sattertield until the COM
pany was reduced to infantry, when Sat-
terfeld sent the DOCTORS horse home. The
doctor says his army experience was
sharp, brief and decisive.
Ordinary T. NJ. Lippett, of Worth, writes
a communication in the Albany Medium
for the benefit of sundry parties in that
county who are circulating petitions to
retest the question of liquor or no liquor
in Worth. He quotes upon them the
ninth section of the late prohibition law,
and concludes that since the sale OF
whisky in Worth was abolished by a local
act, there can be no election held until
this act is repealed by another local act.
He is likewise of the opinion that
at another election prohibition would
carry the day much larger
majority than it did before, and that
the county is far better off in every re-
spect than 1t was when the sale of whisky
was allowed. He also states that the
last tax digests show that more taxable
property was returned than ever before.
There is another fact connected with
prohibition in Worth not undeserving OF
remark, and this is that the jug trade
which was exceedingly heavy in It's pro-
portions between Albany and Worth for
some time after prohibition went into
effect, has almost entirely played out.
Worth will hardly ever go back on her
prohibition record.
