Hymensal. The browning society event
of this vicinity for a long time was tht
marriage at the Augusta Church, at !:
M, on the 5th inst, of Mr.. J. Sam1 Nc
Cue, of Albemarle county, to Miss Fannie
McNutt Crawford, the lovely daughter Of
| Dr. VIM. NJ Crawford, of Mt. Sidney
Your correspondent was so unfortunate as
to be unable to be present. hut we have
heard much favorable comment upon the
tasteful decoration of the church. the ele-
CANT costumes of the bridal party, and the
SumptuOus dinner served at the home of
the BRIDES parents, beside many praises
of the beautiful manner in which Rev.
Mr. Bitter performed the ceremony. I'm :
mediately after dinner the bridal party
took hacks for-Staunton, where they en-
barked On the east bound train on the
G. & 0. R. R. for the groom's home in
Albemarle. The bride is great favorite
with everybody who knows her, and her
departure will be great loss TO our neigh
borhood. We commend her to the good
people of Charlottesville, where we learn
the groom is rising young attorney, and
the happy couple will make their future
home.
The Mt. Sidney Graded School opened
on Monday, with that prince of public
school teachers, Rev. B. B. White, as prin-
cipal, and Mr.. w. F. W hitmer and Miss
Mollie Watson, assistants, forming an

The Augusta Creamery has raised the
price of milk to one dollar per cwt. for
November, and we hope to see q greatly
increased supply of milk come In. We
learn that a new separator, which will
send it's cream to this creamery, is about
ready to be in operation at Bridgewater.
That go ahead business firm, Sanger Bros.
is at the head of the enterprise.
Mr. John Pearson, the breaking of
whose leg was noticed by the VIRGINIAN
several weeks since, is recovering as rap
idly as could be expected for one of his
age, and we hope he will soon be out
again
Our Democratic friends are trying hard
to conceal their chagrin at the result of
the late election, anG pretend to attribute
their defeat to the stay at homes, but the
truth is, and we have made special effort
to find it out, thathad there been as full
a vote as that cast at the presidential cleo
ton of IA, Capt. Bumgardner's majority
in Augusta would have been more than
wiped out and Yost would have carried
the county.
We paid flying visit to West Rocking
ham since the election, and find our Re-
publican friends there as much elated over
Jake Yost So grand victory as his own
constituency. Our good old
Democratic friend, Hon. John F. Soule,is
like the little boy whom the calf ran over,
he hasn't a word to say.
Wonder how our old friend, N. L. b.,
Of Sangersville, will explain why his polit
ical representations proved SO abortive
Don't you think protection and the Blair
Bill had something to do with it.
