at the residence Of the brides father,
Dr. J. w. Quillian, by Rev. G. K. Shaifer,
Mr.. W. J. Porter, of Gainesville, Ga, to

The sugar market may be slightly
affected on account Of the proclamation
of twenty days quarantine for vessels
from cholera ports. Well informed per
sons do not believe, however, that the
sugar famine is imminent. There will
be long delay in the importations of raw
sugar, which comes from Hamburg, but
the effect of the shortage will be appar-
ant chiefly in the increased sale of lower
grades than granulated, which has been
the staple for all uses for several years
past. Even granulated, it is thought.
will not cost retail purchasers more than
six cents pound.
And prize fights are again the center of
attraction in New Orleans. There have
been three this week. Monday the light

Tuesday Dixon, copper colored negro,
whipped Skelley, white, in just eight
rounds. Wednesday nightwas the battle
of the giants, Sullivan and Corbett.
A telegram received in Walhalla Thurs
day morning states that Sullivan. was
whipped in the twenty-frst round. It
was stubborn fight, and John L. is no
longer the champion Of the world.
