A G.nu,n, work a, Art

A sight worth going far to see and new
departure in window dressing is the north
window of Curran's large dry goods store.
on which the curtain was raised last even
ing. The work is a scene from Veni:s at
Christmas time. where u large Christmas
tree is all agIow with electric lights of all
cUlors. Around the tree is group of
pretty children in charge of a maid. while
the mother looks from a lattice window in
great dignity at the seemingly pleased
children. All figures are beautifully
represented IN wax and are surprisingly
natural looking On the Christmas tree
hangs the traditional stockings all full of
candies. dolls. etc, and the surroundings
all harmonic in a most BETTING manner.
A great crowd viewed the show last night.
The south window is also very tastefully
arranged with the usual Christmas be-
wilderment of pretty goods and came in
for great share of complimentary re-
marks This may be said to be one of the
prettIs st store fronts IN the state. The
work was done by Thomas Matthews. late
head window dresser for Marshal Field.

BURGLARS IN souTHBuRY
The .ro.,or.los and H,okok sro,her..
store Ratded.

Store Raided.
Burglars made a raid on South bury late
last night or early this morning and made
quite haul from the postoffice and gen.
eral store of Hickok Brothers which are
located in the same building. They
gained entrance to the store by pry ing
open the door with a chisel. The money
drawer and stamp drawer were opened.
and their contents taken. 1t is not known
how much the thieves secured, but it is
believed they took a large sum in stamps,
and some money. After looting the store,
and taking some merchandise, the rob-
bers went to the store of Harvey Stone.
Here as at the postoffice. they pried open
front door. They drilled holes in the
safe, charged them with dynamite and
blew them. The contents, consisting of
books and papers, were burned. The
thieves secured no booty here. and vented
| their spite on the furniture. The whole
place was turned topsy-turvy in their
search for valuables. 1t is the belief of
the postmaster. and also of Mr. Stone. that
the same burglars who robbed the post
office at North Woodbury. so successfully
the other night are implicated in the bur
glary of last night. The fact that the four
men who are suspected of the North
Woodbury. robbery were seen going from
Southbury towards Hotchkissville this
morning give color to the theory.

Wedding Bells.
BAKER-oHURcHwELL.

A truly home wedding took
place yesterday morning, juno 6,
1894, at half past eight o'clock at
the palatial residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Il. P. Churchwell, when their
eldest daughter, Miss Josie,
was united in marriage to Mr..
Charles Baker of this place.
The attendants were Thomas
Worley, a cousin of the bride, aud
Miss Jennie Broyles; Will p. Barn
hill, nephew of the groom, and
Miss Mary Patterson. Rev. j. W.
Smith, pastor ofthe NJ. L. Church,
ofiiciated in an elegant and digni.
fed manner on the happy occa-
sion, and the wedding march was
played by Miss Lura Galbraith, of
Henderson, Tenn.
The bride wore a handsome
travelling costume in fawD, and
the bridesmaids were modestly
attired in gray.
The spacious parlors were beau
tifully decorated with ferns, roses
and magnolias, and the favored
few who were present to witness
the nuptials, saw in reality a typ
ical southern home. The bride
and groom were the recipients of
number of handsome and useful
presents.
The brides gifts to her maids
were gold stickpins, set with tur-
quoise, and to the musician, gold
ring set with a chip diamond.
The bride is tall and stately
brunette, with bewitching black
eyes, hair wherein the midnight
shadows linger, lips like twin
cherries, and cheeks that pale the
roses. But her physical charms
do not constitute her only attrac.
ton. Possessed of warm and
loving heart, a most amiable dis.
position, she is loved alike by old
and young. The groom, who is
one of Savannah's most substan-
tial merchants, is a young man OF
excellent morals and in every way
worthy of 60 lovely and accom-
plished a bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker left immed
lately after the ceremony on al
extensive bridal tour and will
visit Niagara Falls and Other
places of interest in the East.
