Dalton Letter.


EDITOR SENTINEL, How many of your
readers know that Dalton, with its beantifl |
scenery and healthfll climate, is one of the
most desirable places to settle in to be found
on the c. F. & Wv. Railroad?
Our town is growing. Mr.. J. Ii. r. Tur-
ner is building large four room dwelling !;
Messrs. Turner d Phillips have just COM
pieted new store and are filling it with
goods DIR. Phillips is also commencing a
large dwelling. Several others speak OF
building soon.
Now for politics. We are going to elect
the Democratic ticket from President down
to town constable. The other day 1 heard
a Republican say that Cleveland would
surely be reelected The RAIDS are sick
this time, but without remedy.
Crops are looking remarkably we'll. With
few more good showers we may expect
good crops of corn, tobacco, turnips, pota-
toes and everything will be joyful this
Fall with good crops and big Democratic
majority.

A Gretna-Green AFFAIR.

Mr.. Moses I. Stewart, the senior member
ofthe firm of Stewart Bros, job printers, of
this city, was married in Greensboro last
Saturday evening. The Workman Of that
city terms the event ga Gretna-Green af-
fair" and says:
"Miss Kateurah Taylor, of Winston, left
that place on Saturday evening with her
married sister, ostensibly TO go with her to
Memphis, Tenn. Mr.. Moses I. Stewart also
came down on Che train, for what purpose it
was not then known. Miss Taylor, on ar
irving at this place, told her sister that she
had concluded not to 60 to Memphis, but
instead would marry Mr.. Stewart and return
with him to Winston. A marriage license
was procured and the services of Rev. w.
r. Gwaltney were obtained to tie the knot.
The bridal party repaired to the McAdoo
House, but on arriving there slight hitch
occurred in the proceedings, it being dis
covered that the young lady had not yet
reached the age when parents and guar
dams have no say in the matter. Two gen.
tlemen, on discovering the difficulty, were
not long in remedying it. They went to the
depot, had certificate prepared and signed
by the young lady's sister in quick time
