LYNCHBrRG. VA. January r. Special
A most brilliant marriage took p nee this
evening at the Second Presbyterian Church,
the contracting parties being Miss Florence
Lee and Mr.. George B. Tate. both OF this
city. The bride is the eldest daughter
OF Mr.. Joseph NJ. Lee. and the groom is
cashier of the finn Of Robinson, Tate q Co..
Both thewhite and colored "wets' held
tremendous meetings last night at their
respective halls. The turn out was very
great. General Jubal A. Early. Captain
RO. ID. lancy and other leading citizens
spoke at the white meeting and strong
resolutions were unanimously adopted by
the meeting against prohibition. The
cOlOrod meeting was equally enthusiastic
and unanimous. The "drys' also held fall
meetings at the Opera House with num-
ber of speakers. Rev. Mr. Cheatham
ap0l0gized for his gross insult offered the
business men the day before, and it is agreed
by his friends he shall make no more "dry'
speeches during the campaign. The "wcts'
offer him $500 for each speech he can be ln-
duccd 20 deliver.
An important letter from Judge l.. g..
Burks appears this evening. IL is very
damaging 30 the drys in his view of the pro-
bibiiiOn law. His opinion in conclusion is'
