This morning at ten o'clock at the
Methodist church, Miss Mae Horton
was married to Mr.. Jack Stule, OF
Georgetown. They were attended
by Mr.. Brown Of Georgetown and
Miss Stella Terrell, and Mr.. Clowry
and Miss Steele, both of Georgetown.
The ushers were Messrs Walter
Molte and Ed. Terrell. .
The bride, a petite brunette beauty,
wore gray travelling dress and hat,
and the bridesmaids both wore gray
dresses. The church was very pref
tily decorated.
Mr.. William King, Jr., died yester-
day at noon of consumption and was
buried this morning at II O'Clock.
He leaves a young wife and several
brothers and sisters. He was a man
of good moral character and was we'll
liked in the town and county.
We have had some very threaten
ing weather the last week, but not
enough rain to lay the dust. A
shower of five or ten minutes duration
nearly every day is the extent of rain-
fall. Farmers report cotton in good
condition and making rapidly.
A. very pleasant lawn party was
given by Miss Ril Henderson on Fri
day night. She is such pleasant
and cordial little hostess that her
parties always 60 of well.
w. E. Smith, Esq, of the Southern
Pacific force at Eagle Pass, is here
visiting with his family and friends.
Capt. f. A. Vaughan, also of Eagle
Pass is wiGh his family here.
Ex-Governor Ireland is making a
tour through the northern states.
The date of his return is uncertain.
THAT will of General Fremont,
mention of which was made In last
weeks dispatches, was dated August
10, 1854, and two days later was de-
posted in the office of the Surrogate
of New York. 1t had lain there
almost thirty-six years undisturbed.
THE on to Oklahoma cry OF one
year ago is drowned in the wall of the
poor settlers who find scarcely drop
of water to cool their parched tongues,
much less moisture sufficient for crop
making and watering stock. Kansas
was bad enough, Oklahoma is worse.
O. X. does not stand for Oklahoma,
this year.
THE democratic party always grow
fat on husks, predicate victory upon
defeat, and grow hopeful as their
chances of success diminish. 1t is
this disposition which induces the
Charleston, S. c., News and Courier
to remark that at no time since the
war has the democratic outlook been
so promising. The man, who, view
ing the political field in South Caro-
lima, sees rosy dawn tor the democ-
racy, must have most extraordinary
vision. The News must accept Till
man as the titular deity of the Caro-
lima democracy.
GEN. EAGLE, democratic candidate
for governor Of Arkansas, scared al
together too high for the strength of
his pinions when he measured wings
with Rev. Fizer, his republican con-
testant. Mrs. Eagle endeavored to
regulate his erratic and ever weaken
ing fight but it was of no avail and
the Eagle had to retire from the field.
THERE is very perceptible change
in the sentiment of the New York
state democracy since Cleveland's de-
feat two years ago. That change has
virtually settled the question of pres
idential candidacy In favor of Govern
or.Hill, and New York cannot be
counted on as in line for Cleveland
any longer. The rural press of the
state are coming out openly in favor
of Mr.. Hill's nomination, and Cleve-
lands great hope was in the loyalty
of the rural democracy.
THERE are journals which speak
authoritatively for the republican par
ty on questions of policy, but no jour-
