MONTGOMERY.
DR. Prices Death.
Notes and Happenings.

This evening is one of those old
time cool evenings that is pleasant
to sit down by good fire and listen
to tales of times long past, and eat
the favorite vegetable Of this season
which is now fully ripe, such as the
, opossom.
In fact I tell you my dear sir, that
our possom. crop is just now getting
ripe good, and every evening about
eleven or twelve o'clock you can
hear Gf yous were here) the
music of the CANNES as they wander
through our beautiful woodlands
close to the city in search of the
game above mentioned.
On the evening of Nov, 1st at
the old ship church large gather
ing of citizens met to participate In
a euloglstic or memorial meeting OF
DR.. J. c. Price, who departed this
life on the 25th of October at his
home in North Carolina. He as
you doubtless know was man of
great intellect and an honor to the
Negro race. Having so often visits
ed this city and by his general mans
ner of departing bimself both as a
minister and christian gentleman,
won the love and general respect of
all who came in contact with him,
our citizens generally regret his
death.
Prof, Jos. D Bible, Of our city,
and Hon N H Alexander, were the
principal orators of the occasion and
their addresses Of eulogy were mas
ter pieces of eloquence appropriate
to such an occasion.
The decorations were beautifully
arrangrd by a committee Of ladies,
and the church was filled to over
flowing.
tell you sir, that times may be
hard and money scarce, but the boys
and girls will say yes and get mar
ried. | will just tell you of a little
brilliant affair that took place here
on the 31st, just at $3.50 a. m. large
assembly of friends were gathered at
the Little Presbyterian church on
the corner Of Stoue aud Plank SITS
to witness the early marriage of one
Of our most charming and accom-
plished young ladies-Miss Lucy
O'Hava, to Prof. Cheevers. The
Prof. like old Father Jacob of old
has watched and waited for her 10
these many years; and has not wait
ed in vain, and is now ready to be
offered up. The bride Is brunette
and sweet looking one too, must
give you few ideas of her costume
so the ladies can quarrel and get
| Jealous about such. She was attire d

Gorhan, at the organ was all that
the most exacting could have asked.
