One of the pleasantest incidents of the
past week was the marriage of Mr. j. T.
Cox and Miss ida Bigby, two of Belton's
popular yodng people. Though no effort
was made for display, but rather the con-
trary was the desire and intention of the
bridal party, yet everything contributed
to make the marriage as beautiful as it
was simple in its perfect arrangement.
The day, Wednesday, came with its
brightest smiles and laden with such
promises as would cause the hearta Of
those who have never experienced such
delights to fill and overflow with happi-
ness. Numefohs friends were present to
manifest their pleasure by happy faces
and approving smiles. Before 10 o'clock
the Baptist Church had no seats to offer
the late ones, and many were obliged to
stand even ohtside the doors. The wed.
ding party cafne in promptly at 10 o'clock
and moved with graceful steps and in
perfect time with the wedding march, so
beautifully rendered by Miss Georgia
McDavid. The first couple of the atten-
dants. Mr. i. s. bigby aitd Miss Emma
Clinkscales, closely followed the fishers,
D. A. Geer and e! r. Cox, immediately

flowers, then came Mr. W. J. Moorehead
and Miss Eva Stringer, next Mr.. E. T.
Breazeale and Miss Ida Crock with Judge
W. F. Coz and Miss Sallie Wing just in
advance of the candidates who, as they
came under the flower decked arch, stop.
ped directly under two very pretty sus-
pended letters of flowers, @. q B., their
respective initials where, iu an impressive
ceremony by the officiating minister, DR..
Manly, they were made husband and
wife. The bride and groom then, as the
tones of the organ again Broke forth, pre-.
ceded the attendants To carriage, where
they received the congratulations Of their
many friends, while they awaited the
arrival OF the morning train that would
carry them on their tour to the "City by
the Sea-" In due time the train rolled in
and bore them away, happy as they both
had cause to be.

The saddest occurrence that it has been
the common lot of our people to mourn is
the untimely death of Mrs. Hattie Kay.
Without warming to her friends and Gu
tirely unsupported, she quietly and unob-
served left her residence where were her
sleeping children during the very early
toars Of Friday morning and hastened
away to place that should witness her
self.destruction. No one knew when she
went, nor why, save herself and God.
Soon after the alarm of her mysterious
absence was spread, and a plan of search
was about to be put into effect, 1t was an.
nounced that two cadets, n. E. Geer and
T. r. Allgood, in voluntary search, had
discovered the body in G. w. McGee's fish
pond, where she had, it seems, deliber-
ately carried out previously fixed deter
mination to commit suicide. The follow.

was found at her residence:
