The church had been beautifully and
artistically'decorated with the choicest
flowers of the season, and everything

appearance. At $50 o'clock the sweet
strains Of d beautiful wedding march
began to pour forth from the organ
which was.presided over by Miss Louise

Bill Arp's Lecture.

Bill Arp-Maj. Cbas. II. Smith-de-
livered his famous lecture, the Cavalier
and the Cracker, at the Opera House
last Friday night. There was good
audience, considering the night. There
was a very hard rain little before
dark and on until about time for the
lecture to begin, and in consequence q
great many were prevented from at
tending.
Prof. Evans. after paying all ex-
penses, had left about SIS which will
be used in making needed improve
ments at the Graded School.
The lecture itself was very good and
while it lasted for one hour and fifteen
minutes We did not tire 10 the least.
His description of the:original Arp and
the escape Of John Underwood from
the yankees we had heard and read
before. His description of characters
, to represent the cavalier and the
. cracker were very interesting.
His figures on the per centage OF
crime and illiteracy would seem to
argue for illiteracy. AS the population
! increased in the knowledge of how to
read and write crime increased and IN
those sections where there was the
least illiteracy there was the greatest
per ceutage Of crime. But we must
think there are other causes for this
state of affairs than the fact that the
people increased in knowledge. We
do not remember the exact figures that
he gave and have not the figures at
hand.
But all the same we enjoyed the lee
ture and since having a persona! &C.
quaintance with the writer of sh, 'll
Arp letters will read them with much
more interest.
He is a pleasant, genial gentleman
and good talker. He had personal
Acquaintance with all the prominent
figures of Georgia for the last half cen
tury and enjoyed their friendships and
is full Of anecdotes and recollections OF
them. He has just completed and
published q school history of Georgia.
He left for his home Saturday. We
hope he may come again..
