A SURRY COUNTY WEDDING
The Groom Was so Bashful that He Took
to the Woods.

1Special Correspondence to Tie Sentinel
Let me tell you about the richest
and raciest wedding that has taken
place in these parts for long time.
On the 28th inst H. w. Stanford,
j. p, was called on to marry Frank
Rachels and Nancy Jane Baker. On
going to the place to perform the GER
empny, he found the bride, but no
groom. 1t was soon ascertained that
he had taken to the woods. The
Squire was not to be fooled cut of the
job, SO he went to work to capture the
bashful groom. Some men were sent
to drive through the woods and others
were placed at islands" to watch for
him. In about half an hour they had
captured him and brought him up.
The license was handed over and the
ceremony began. When through with
the first part, both bride and groom
made dash for the door, but they
found itguarded. They were called
back and order restored again, and the
ceremony proceeded, until the groom
had to answer 81 will" He was or
dered to seal that vow with kiss, sand
he did it well. He began at her
mouth and ended at the ear. 1t
sounded like the slap of watermelon
rind on a persons face. Then another
break was made for the door, but
escape was impossible, so they were
brought back again, the house called
to order, and the ceremony proceeded,
until it came to the brides time to an
swer 81 will" Then another vow had
to be sealed with kiss. She be-
gan at the ear and ended at the
mouth, with slap like the first, only
finer and sweeter. Then another
break for the door, They were cap
tured again and brought back, and
then came the closing scenes. They
were pronounced ''man and wife" The
bride made for chair and the groom
spread himself across table. Then
yell went up, the curtain fell. and l
left. OLD SNATCH.

The Next Congressional Delegation.
Raleigh Cor. Wilmington Messenger.

[Ralei9h Cor. Wilmington Messenger
The question was asked yesterday,
"How will the next Congressional
delegation stand?" The answer ap.
pears to be about as follows: First
district, w. o. Branch( (Alliance); Sec
ond district, J. M. Newborn (Alli-
ance); Third district, B. F. Grady
(Alliance); Fourth district, B. F.
Bum Qawyer, endorsed by Alliance);
Fifth district, A. II. A. Williams
(Alliance); Sixth district, S. B. Alex
ander '(Alliance); Seventh district,
John S. Henderson Qawyer); Eighth
district. w. A. Graham (Alliance);
Ninth district, Robert B. Vance (Alli-
ance). This gives six Alliancemen,
certain; probably seven. In the
Eighth district the contest for the
nomination is triangular, between w.
III. Cowles of Wilkes, Bower of Cald-
well, and Graham of Lincoln. The
latter is the Alliance man and his
chances are therefore deemed the best.
The contest is yet lively one. Hen
dersoD, in the Seventh district, will
get the Alliance endorsement. Merri.
mon will, of'course, be Chief Justice.
Clark will be nominated for Associate
Justice.

Correspondence to The .Sentinel1
AS the time is not far distant when
our Democratic county convention
will meet to nominate candidates for
county officers, we would suggest the
name of E. H. Wilson for county
treasurer. He was city treasurer of
Winston for two years, and it is con-
ceded by all parties that he made one
of the best treasurers the city ever had.
He is good accountant and we'll
qualified to fill this office. He is we'll
known all over the county, is polite
and accommodating, and has as many
personal friends, we think, as any man
in Forsyth county. His name has
been mentioned frequently in connec-
ton with this office, but he is no office
seeker, and it is not known whether he
would accept the nomination if ten
dered him, but we think that in the
selection of officers it is time to imi-
tate our forefathers and let the office
seek the man, and not the man the
Office. If the convention will nomi-
nate Ed. Wilson he will be elected.

Cured by Cuticura

Ny disease {psoriasis) first broke out on my
left cheek, spreading across my nose, and almost
covering my face. 1t ran into my eyes, and the
physician was afraid would lose my eyesight
altogether. 1t spread all over my head, and my
hair all fell out until was entirely bald headed;
it then broke out on my arms and shoulders, until
my arms were just one sore. 1t covered my entire
body, my face, head, and shoulders being the
worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my
head, shoulders, and arms; the skin would thicken
and be red and very itchy, and would crack and
bleed if scratched. After spending many hundreds
of dollars, was pronounced incurable. heard
of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and after using two
bottles CUTIcuRA REsoLyENT, could see change;
and after had taken four bottles, was almost
cured; and when had used six bottles of CUTI-
CURA REsoLyENr and one box of CUTIcURA, and
one cake of CUrICURA SOAP, was cured of the
dreadful disease from which had suffered for five
years. thought the disease would leave very
deep scar, but the CUTICURA REMEDIES cured it
without any scars. 1 cannot express with pen
what suffered before using the CUrIcURA RENE

Southern Republicans Denounce the Force
Bill.

An Atlanta dispatch says the Re-

ize that the, force bill is aimed at the
peace, tranquility and prosperity of
the South, and that it is the scheme of
partisans. The Hon. Jonathan Nor
cross, who was, few years ago, the
Republican candidate for Governor of
Georgia, is against the force bill. He
says:
81 am opposed to the measure, bit
terly opposed to it. IF it should pass
it would be a dead letter law, for it
would never be enforced in the
South"
The Hon. S. A. DarneIl, United
States attorney, has spoken against
the bill, and Gen. James Longstreet is
against it. Col. Darnell, in speech
Wednesday. said:
81 do not think the bill is fair
for any State in the Union. My ex
perience has been and is that, when
men are forced to do anything, they
will be like cork in water-do what
you will to keep it under, it is bound
to come to the top. don't think such
thing as the force bill is needed in
the South"
Ex-Governor r. B. Bullock, of At.
lanta, who is recognized as one of the
most conservative Republicans in the
South, has decided views on the force
bill. He said to an interviewer:
II am against anything that is Sec
tional, but like all the people of the
South I do not object to any law
which is to be enforced alike in every
State in the Union. 1 do not see
any danger in negro supremacy, but it
is wiser to leave those issues with the
Stat g."
