One OF the pleasantest incidents OF tne
past week was the marriage OF Mr.. j. I.
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 az would cause the hearts Of
those who have never experienced such
delights to fill and overflow with happi-
ness. NumeFohs friends we're 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 oHtslde ths doof5. The we'd

and moved with graceful steps and in
perfect. time with the wedding march, so
beautifully rendered by Miss Georgia

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
Eoars Of Friday morning and hastened
away to a place that should witness her
selfdestruction. 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, it was an
nounced that two cadets, NJ. T.. 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
minatiou to commit suicide. The follow
ing note, dated:three days before the deed,
was found at her residences:
"Dear Children:

pleasant failures to mauifesttheir gladness
at having them here. A large number

The Alliance cotton buyer was here to
meet the Alliance men with their cotton
Monday. Belton is such fine market
that the Alliance buyer soon realized the
fact that the merchants here intend to pay
full value fol any product placed on this
market-particularly cotton-aud left his
Alliance men in the hands OF our
merchants, these having made better bids
than he. The merchants will continue to
pay the highest prices for farmers pro-
ducts, and are just as ready to sell to the
farmers advantage. II a trial is necessary
to convince any doubling one, let him
come and see. KAPPA.
