a Sensational Marriage.

One Of the most sensational marriages
took place not far from Villa Rica the
other morning that has ever happened
in that part of Georgia. Not far out
from town a farmer resides who had a
daughter possessing more than ordinary
beauty and accomplishments, whose
heart two gentlemen sought. 1t became
evident to each of the gentlemen that
she had only one heart and that she
would marry one of them soon. For a
week, Madame Rumor has it, the lamp
was not extinguished, because of n or
the other calling on her, and ''they say
she promised each one to take him.
One of these gentlemen was a young
widowcr and the other a handsome
young fellow of about % m It
is said the ole folks were rather inclined
to the young widower, and the young
lady preferred the young man, and so
the fight wen bravcly on until the COM
munity for a mile or two around took
sides with the boys. For a week pools
were seld on the boys. One day widower
stock would be way up yonder, and per-
haps in less than a day the young man
stock would run up.
One Saturday evening the young man
came to tow to try to get up a settle
ment of the matter, before he could gain
an audience with the young widower he
received a dispatch TO come at once for,
behold, all things were ready, and to
como nipElN' NOT m ncaf,a ~ siY,a
inviting them in. When he reached the
farm the bird had flown and was Gagged.
Now m Sunday, the great day OF
the struggle. The young widower was
on hand. The prize was brought out
and she was informed that he was now
ready. She begged time. He told her,
"No; now or never" SO far as he was
concerned.
The preacher asked them if they were
likely to reach a verdict" Her reply
was more time" He told them he
would be compelled to be travelling to
reach his appointment. But as has
been stated, the young widcwer re-
NAMED on his knees and kept pleading.
Finally she yielded and a courier was
dispatched for the preacher, who was
overtaken some distance away, think
ing what his text should be under such
trying circumstances. He was hurried
back and the young widower captured
the prize. In a moment the news
flashed over the settlement and the ex-
element reached fever heat. At one
time there seemed to be trouble brew
ing among the friends of the two rivals.
AS a result the following marriage
notice is printed:
Married-At the residence of the
brides father, Mr.. Nathan V. Sailing,
Mr.. j. K. Conner to Miss Eliza Stall
ing, the Rev. j. r. T. Browning per-
forming the ceremony.

THE GYPSY WAS RIGHT.
A Queer Prediction i'm the Early Life OF
Oracle Hopkins Comes True.

n queer prediction In the Early Lie OF
Oracle Hopkins Comes True.
Cherryvale, Kan, Republican.
Oracle Hopkins, the 9-year-old o
der, who has recently electrified New
York city, and is acknowledged by the
critics there to be the handsomest and
smartest child of her age ever seen in
that city, has closed a starring engage.
ment with the Palmer theatrical troupe.
and, with her mother, will sail for Aus.
tralia in a few days. The troupe will
make a tour of the world with Oracle as
Little Lord Fauntleroy. She gets o
salary of 500 a week and has her own
and her mothers expenses paid. The
Kate Claxton combination tried very
hard to get her, as did at least a hall
dozen other troupes, but she closed with
Palmer. That she is now fairly launched
on the sea of fame there is no doubt,
and that she will be waited on TO
fortune and TO still greater fame we feel
assured. Oracle Hopkins was born in
Gardner. this state, and when 4 months
old her parents moved TO C~herryvale,
whore she was reared. She was always
a ]precocious child, and at the tender
age of 3 years often appeared before
large audiences and earned and received
round after round of applause. For a
year or SO she has been in Kansas City,
WHARF new laurcls were won. Our peo-
pie rejoice in her wonderful success and
unite in the hope that she may reach
the topmost round of the ladder of fame.
Miss Gracie's famous career so far,
and the brilliant prospects ahead of her,
call TO mind a circumstance which oc-
CURED in this city when she was about
B years old, but which created little or
no comment, as no one put any faith in
the gypSy's palayer. Now, however,
the circumstance is recalled and Dame
Gossip ways her tongue about it with
delight to herself and pleasure TO her
listeners.
Some six years ago a band of gypsies
encamped near this city. and for several
days one of the old witches piled her
trade of fortune telling. One after
noon, Mrs. Hopkins. the mother of
Oracle, left the child, who was then
about 3 years old, asleep in her crib in
the sitting room and stepped into an
other room for a moment. When she
returned to her child she found the old
fortune telling witch kneeling by the
side of the crib of the sleeping babe,
apparently studying every lineament of
her intellectual little face. The old
bag asked the privilege of telling the
child's fortune, but Mrs. Hopkins re.
fused. The woman pleaded. however,
and the fortune was finally told.
The old witch said, addressing Mrs.
Hopkins: ''Your child will have a dan
gerous sickness before she is 7 years OF
age, but, if she lives, she will become
famous and visit the nations of the
earth before she is Is years old" The
sickness she had-scarlet fever-and was
given up to die. She is now a star in .
troupe that is to make a tour of the
world, and she is not yet 10 years old.

The Explosive watermelons.

Detroit Free Press.
1--WE will now attack de regular or
der of bizness," said Brother Gardner,
as the meeting of the Limekiln club
opened, IAN Samuel Shin will please
keep watch of the thermometer an gage
de fab in de stove to keep it about 125
degrees"
Giveadam Jones said he arose in the
interest of the 5000, 600 colored people
in the United States. He had culled
from the newspapers during the last two
weeks no less than seven instances
where watermelons had exploded and
wrought more or less havoc, and in each
instance they were in the hands of col
ored men. Had the time come when the
watermelon was an element of danger
to life and limb? Was it to descend into
history along with the kerosene can and
Washington pie? If the time had come
when a colored man walking home with
a watermelon under his arm was liable
to be driven through the sidewalk by an
explosion, or a family group ran the
risk of being blown through the roof of
their cabin, then life had no further
charms for him. He would move that a
committee be appointed to investigate
and report.
81 will appoint as such committee"
replied the president, ''Brudder Jones,
Bebe an Watkins, an will gin it as
my personal opinyen dat in de mean
time we had better take all risks an
keep right on devourin' de m~ellyons."

kANOTHER APPEAL
The Prosecution of the Cronin

The Expense in the Cronin Case

CHICAGO, Sept. G.-The progress, or
father lack of progress, that has so far
been made with the trial of the men in
bicted for the assassination of DR..
Cronin makes it evident that the cost OF
the trial is going to run in an enormous
Bum, and in view Of this fact it is said
that another appeal to the Irish people
of America for financial aid, in order
that the crime may be avenged, will
Shortly be made. Despite the stories
that were circulated at the time,
1t is now known that neither
the Philadelphia or C~heltenham
Beach demonstrations were successful
in replenishing the exchequer of the
Cronin committee to any extent; and
within a couple of days prior TO the ar
raignment of the prisoners it was be-
Aieved that the counsel engaged to as

PEELED TO remain in the background
owing to the lack of funds. The diff

time being, but if the statement is cor

punsel in question aggregate $4,000
feekly, to say nothing of nu.
ferrous other expenditures it
certain that those who
lelieve that justice should be done will
Je compelled TO go down in their
pockets often and deep. Meanwhile the
defense is abundantly supplied with
funds, and the higher order of it's de-
tective service is illustrated by the fact
chat in the case of several of the men
who have been put into the jury box and
questioned they have developed a greater
knowledge of their a~ntecedents and
movements than possessed by the prose-
cution. Whence these funds come may
