lied in the parlor Of the brides father
Mr.. l., BlaEely, this evening at about
seven o'clock, Feb. 18th amid surround

the words thai made them nan and

by Rev. ID. f. Haddon.
Seldom has there been q wedding in
this community under more propitious
on suspicious circumstances, uniting as
ii does youth, beauty, wealth, religion
and two of our first families. The
bride is an exponent Of all that is pure
and beautiful in glorious young Woman
hood, and her native graccs of heart,
intellect and person are the admiration
OF her many friends. She looked rs
lovely as an houri dressed in hand
some gray with becoming trimmings,
etc. The groom is a handsome young
man, who is fast winning fame and
fortune and is to be congratulated on
winning SO lovely Il young lady. After
the ceremony an elegant rcpast was
served to the company, after which the
happy couple went to the groom's lovely
home. May they find no shadows drift
ing over what now seems u bright
future.

AT EVEN-SONG.

If could call you back for one brief hour.
1t is at evcn-song that hour should be,
When bells arc Ginning from an old gray tower
Across the tranquil sea.
Just when tho fields are sweet and cool with
dow,
just when tho last gold fingers in the west,
Would l recall you 10 tho world you knew
Before you went to rest.
And where tho starry jasmine hides tho wall
We TWO would stand together once again.
| know your paticnce-l would toll you all
My tale of love and pain.
And you would listen, with your tender smile,
Tracing the lines upon my tcarworn face,
And finding, even for u little while,
Our earth n weary place.
Only ono little hour. And then once more
Tho bittcr word, farewell, beset with fears
And oil my pathway darkcned, as before,
With shades of lonely years.
Far better, dear, that you, unfclt, unseen.
Should hovor near me in the quiet air
And draw my spirit through this mortal screen
Your higher life to share.
l would not call you back, and yet-ah, mel
Faith lis so weak and human love so strong
sweet 1t seems to think of what mighfbe
This hour ut evon-song.

In February last tho Comptroller

famous onslaught through the shcriffs
for the collection Of taxes against va
riOus railroads. Under their instruc-
tions our Sheriff McCravy levied and
tied up some half dozen cars of the II.
II. " w. G.. railroad company.
The taxes we're subsequently paid
and the levy released, the railroad pay
ing five per ccnt as commissions to the
sheriff, under protest. This Sheriff
McCravy claimed under the act of
1889. which authorized the levy. Shcr-
i'll McCravy is now sued for these COM
missions amounting to three hundred
and sevcnty-siX dollars. The Sheriff
wrote to his EXccllcncy, the Governor,
who answered giving him the comfort
ing assurance of his moral support"
The point involved is q question of law
and law is law if you know what is the

ct will be remembered that Mr.. j.
w. Kilguard was in correspondence
during last ummer with Senator lrby
on the subject of sugar beet culture in
this State.
Mr.. Kilguard now proposes to send Il
quantity of seed to DIR. w. G.. Irby for
distribution and experiment by the
farmers of this county. DR.. Irby will
soon receive the seeds and farmers who
are willing to make the experiment
will apply to him at once. 1t isdcsirablc
hat from onc-fourth to onc-half an
acre be planted. Mr.. kilguard will
want samples Of the crops and Il report
of the product. In cas- the experiment
should not prove satisfactory the far
mers lose nothing as there is no better
feed crop than the beet. We earnestly
urge our farmers to see what can be
done, as it is in the line Of crop diver
sity and progress.

James II. Morrow was yesterday put

PARIS, August 24.-A provincial

increase bis income by cultivating
snalis.. He has at present 1906 Of
me interesting and shiny creatures
penned up IN a waterproof shed, and
where they are being fattened for the
Paris market. They eat as much
green fodder per day as Two cows
Would consume, and their pet dainty
Is cabbage leaves, which imparts to
m sne!r hesh the delicate peagreen tiDge
so admired by epicures. Whether
this farmer is go ing to add largely to
his income by this new departure re-
mains to be seen, but a certain class Of
french people do greatly esteem
snalls. Snail pie is considered excel
lent; but some people prefer them sim
ply ool!ed, and extract them from the
shell with little silver implement re-
Semollng a nut pick, only somewhat |
larger.
