A Coon NEWSPAPER. Probably no
newspaper in the United Stats is
more firmly based on the principle OF
promoting the best interests Of the
people than the Baltimore SuS. The
confidence it has INSPIRED is ilirstrat-
ed best hy the fact that its readers
and subscribers respect it's Judgments
and have faith 10 its carefully collect
ed reports, because Is respects itself
and it's word and its readers. Tins
is the true basis Of confidence. In
dealing with our Virginia affairs, into
which it goes more deeply than any
other newspaper published beyond
the borders of the State, we have
often remarked the prudence which il
joins to enterprise. It's news is fresh
and satisfactory, and its comments
| iudicious, always to the point, and
always in the interests OF the people

ORANGE BLossoMs.-The wedding
of Miss Nettie Fiery to Prof. VIM.
M. Hoge, at the first Baptist Church,
Wednesday evening, was a very
pretty and fashionable affair. The
church was filled with admirers and
friends of the bride, who was one of
our most estimable and deserving
Young ladies. The bridal party were
ushered into the church to the strains
of Aids march, rendered by Miss
Mai Faulkner. The ushers were
Messrs Howard Emmert and DR.. 5.
V. Fiery, brother of the bride, Ar
thur Gilbert and Geo. M. Hoke. Miss
Imogene, sister of the bride, acted as
maid of honor, and the bride leaned
upon the arm of her father. The
bridal party were met at the chan
eel by Rev. F. z. Robertson, of the
Baptist Church, and Rev. f. M.
Woods of the Presbyterian Church,
where the marriage ceremony was
gracefully performed. Many friends
and relatives from Charlestown,
Hagerstown and Winchester, attend
ed, and the wedding was one Of the
prettiest ever witnessed in this city.
| An informal reception was held at
the residence Of the brides father,
Mr.. B. F. Fiery, until 1880 o'clock,
when they departed for New York
| and other northern cities. The bride
was great favorite with our people,
being kind. hearted, unassuming and
always polite and agreeable. We
wish the young couple years Of pleas
ure and success-may their pathway
through life be lined with flowers,
with only here and there thorn to
make it real.
New CoUNCILMAN-Mr. Frank Viii
liams, owing to illness, resigned his
position as councilman in the Second
Ward, last Thursday, and Mr.. l.. @.
Gerling was elected to fill the unex
PRED term. The selection is sub
stantial and well-advised one.
