LOTHIAN DOTS.

DoTHAS, Dec. 21.-[Special Correspond ence. -Notwithstan ding the hard times Dothan has for the past few months been very active in business and other circles. la fact the very hard times seem to have been responsible for some of the hustle in busineas-that caused by the auctioneer. Business men have not lost confidence here it seems, and the most substantial im- prove mentg-those that would attract the attention of the prospector or inquisitive traveler-have recently been made. Mir. G. II. Malone has just completed one of the most beautiful residences in Alabama; n large city hall, suitable building for of the legislature, is now being completed, and the finishing touches are being put on the First Baptist church, SIP OO0 brick building that is not surpassed by any building in the state in symmetry, beauty and convenience.
 In educational matters Dothan is now at the front. We have system of graded public schools not excelled by those in any city. Prof. B. T. Faircloth, A. M., grad uate of Emory college of the year 1891, as principal, and Miss Henrietta Brantly of Milledgeville, Ga., as first assistant, have been with us only this fall, but they have won the confidence and support of the citi- zsns of the town, and have succeeded in giving an elevated and eleyating tone to our school that is gratifying to our people. The school closed today for the Christnias holidays. A public entertainment at the opera house tonight drew large crowd to witness the closing exercises of the school. The programme of about two hours in length, consisting of music, reci- tations, statuary and debate, proved the most interesting entertainment of the kind Dothan has ever had.
 Financially, religiously and educatlon- ally Dothan IS prosperlng.

ATHENS, Dec. 21.-[Specal Correspond ence. ]-Last night.

Next came the ushers, who took their places as follows: Messrs. James E. Horton and J. Wright Frost on the right of the minister and Messrs. Herbert Cartwright of Decatur and Max Rosenau on his left, just outside of the chancel.

Then came the bride, leaning on the arm of her maid of honor, her sister, Miss Jess Horton. Arriving at the altar the we'd ding march was changed to "rhe Sweetest Story Ever Told,'' which was pla, ed in tones soft and low during the marriage ceremony.
 After the usual question as to whether any ono present knewany legal reason why these two should not be joined together. the minister, Rev. J. w. Caldwell of Huntsville, asked the groom what present he gsVe the bride as a memorial of his love aud@ fidelity. Handing ths mtnisler a Handsome little copy of the holy Bible, the
