BIakeIy's Name.
From the BIakely gescs.

FROM tfb6 Dtuh6ty " etC6.
Probably few of the present population
know for whom the town of Blakely was
named. AS our information goes the town
took its name from the famous Capt.
Blakely, of the United States navy, who
was born in Ireland and brought to this
country by his parents while very young.
They settled in North Carolina. He was
educated in the university of that State,
and entered the navy as midshipman in
the year 1900. la 1913 he was lieuten-
ant OF the brig Enterprise, which cruised
very actively upon the cas- ern coast, and
rendered important services in the pro-
lection of the cOasting trade from English
privateers. In the same year he was
made commander Of the sloOp Wasp.
His career on board of this vessel was
brilliant one and he made a number of
captures. which made him famous. On
Sept. u, 1914, he captured the brig At
atlanta, which being a valuable vessel, a
prize crew was put on board other. and
she was ordered TO Savannah. She ar
rived safely and brought the last direct
intelligence ever received from the Wasp.
Vague rumors prevailed as to her fate, but
none Of them were reliable. The Wasp,
like most sloOps of that daV, was YES
sci of but little over 500 tons, heavily
armed and spared and very deep
wasted, and 1t is not at all unlikely that
she foundered in gale. Capt. Blakely
was brave, modest and skillful, and was
an officer of great merit. He left a widow
and au infant daughter, who was edu-
Gated by the State of North Carolina
Such is the record Of the man after whom
our town was named.

g. Co., timber men. Taylor Williams,
colored, was largely indebted to them.
he cut and put raft OF timber in Flint
river for j. d. Gather. Young Lee, find
ing 1t out, went down and branded it in
Monroe, Clary Il Co.'s private mark,
claiming that under former contract of
Williams with his firm, all timber cut by
Williams during the winter was to be
theirs until his debt was discharged.
Under timber mems rules none will pur-
chase raft once branded save from those
whose brand is upon the timber. Hence
the act of Lee rendered the timber almost
valueless to its owner. The jury found
him guilty. He was sentenced to paw a
fine OF 500 cash, or work twelve months
on the chain-gang unless paid. The case
goes to the Superior Court.

Drunk on the Bench.

drunk while in the discharge OF his duties

complimented universally by the country
aud CITY press on account OF the way he

IL Will probably be said that Judges in
other circuits will be injured by publ
cation Of such an article as this, but a
profound respect for those who administer
the law and mold the scale of justice
equally balanced, prevents from giving
the name OF the Judge, the place aud the
time. Lawyers say he was totally lu-
capacitated TO attend to the business, and
that there are good grounds for fmpeach-

TWICE MARRIED.
A Romance OF True Love which Affects |
Gentleman of Macon.

From ne Macon Telegraph.
In the issue of Saturday, Sept. 10th, the
Telegraph published the following per-
sonal:
''The cards are out for the marriage of
Mr.. Sidney Smith, of Macon, and Mrs.
Nellie Henry Metcalf. The ceremony
takes place Sept. 10Th, at the residence of
the brides father, MIR. l.. W, Henry, OF
Minneapolis, Mimi"
Thereby hangs tale.
Last winter, Mrs. Metcalf, highly &C.
complished lady of Minneapolis, visited
Mrs. e. 3. StrOhecker, of Macon. She
made many friends by her winning man
ners and sweet face. Among them was
Mr.. Sidney Smith, the assistant book
keeper offs WaXelbaum Son.
The friendship between Mrs. Metcalf
and Mr.. Smith quickly ripened into an
affection of the tenderest nature. Mr..
Smith, always noted for his thousand
amiable qualities, appeared to his friends
to be geniality itself. He wac thoroughly
happy and his happiness overlooked and
infected those with whom he was
brought in daily contact. Never was
lover more devoted to his mistress, and
never was mistress more deserving of
devotion.
The winter passed away as a dream to
the couple, without single untownrd
thing to mar their happiness. When
spring arrived, Mrs. Metcalf prepared to
return to her home in the far northwest.
and then, for the first time, Mr.. Smith
began to be troubled with forebodings.
He imagined all sorts of evil to occur dur
ing his separation from the lady in whom
his future happiness WAS wrapped up.
She shared his f0rebodings, and when the
final day of her stay in Macon arrived,
they determined that II they must be
separated, it would be as husband and
wife.
on May 9th, Mrs. Metcalf left for her
home. Mr.. Smith accompanied her to
Atlanta, and in that city he sought
friends whom he informed of the inten-
ton of himself and Mrs. Metcalf to be
secretly married before che continued her
journey.
The friends lent ready assistance, and
after all the necessary preparations were
made, the party repaired to st. Luke's
church, where Mr.. Smith and Mrs. Met
calf were married by the Rev. G. M. Beck
with. Secrecy was enjOined upon all who
were concerned in the marriage, and not
until yesterday did even suspicion Oft
become known.
Mrs. MetcalFs parents-0r rather, Mrs.
Smiths parents-were informed OF the
marriage soon after it occurred, and,
while they had not the slightest objection
to Mr.. Smith, thought it best that the mar
riage ceremony should again be performed
and in public. No objection was offered
by Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, and so
upon the 10Th instant they will renew
their vows.
