sprlngtime has come at last, and now

1--WE BOYS" of Joesboro.

We have been informed that our last
weeks comment on the communications
from eve Boys" in the Herald and
Tribune, does injustice to some of the
young gentlemen of Jonesboro, who
failed to attend the reception given by
the young ladies'. 1t is claimed that
some of the gentleman did not refuse to
attend because invitations were given to
the boys of this place, but for other
good reasons, unconnected with the re-
ception, and that these gentlemen do not
endorse the communications from "We
Boys" but on the other hand, have al
ways condemned them.
We regret it, if we have done any one
an injustice in this matter. Our criti-
cism was intended to be confined to
those boys who were responsible for the
communications we referred to, and not
to extend to any one else. The commu-
nications pretended to speak for all those
who did not attend, however, and having
at least the sanction of the silence of all,
we were led to believe that all were
responsible for them. We are glad
that this is not true, and that we can
alter the opinion that we were being
forced to form OF some of our young
Jonesboro friends, and alter it for a
better one, too.

SPARKS...HOOVER.
A Hasty Marriage Ceremony Performed
Last Thursday Night.


Mr.. Franc. Paul Sparks and Miss
Rebecca Hoover were married last
night, James P. RAIDER esq officiating.
The marriage was secret affair,
and the ceremony was hastily per-
iormed-the secrecy and haste being
due to the fact that the brides par.
ents objected 70 the union, and would
have stopped the proceeding had
they been in the confidence Of the
contracting parties.
A Courier reporter saw the newly
welded couple at the depos last Thurs
day night, aud from them learned
bow neatly the affair was managed.
Mr., Sparks called on Miss Hoover
Thursday evening at her home on
Shelby street. Thov LETT the house os.
tensiby to attend the revival now in
progress at Anderson street mission,
bu5 really to get married. They pro-
ceeded direct to the residence oi Els

tionary Immediately made them one
They left on the 10 o'clock train for

The Corporation Line.

The present lines of the corporation
have been established for several
years. Before the Legislature was
asked to act, Gov. Morris, the then city
engineer, ran and marked the lines,
and these lines we're the ones adopted.
The citizens inside the lines have for
several years paid taxes to the town
and voted in the municipal elections.
But new prophet has come. Mr..
David Jones, Republican candidate
for alderman in the Third ward, who
has not been here as long as the line
he disputes, has made the startling
discovery that Col. T. E. Matson, who
has been mayor for two years past,
and several other good Democrats are
all outside the corporate limits. 1t is
singular that no one made this dis
covery until Mr.. Jones came to town
and wanted to be alderman.
1t sis equally as astonishing that
Johnson City has been without a
mayor for two years without knowing
it. We guess the people will go along
as they have been doing. The pres
ent city engineer confirms the Morris
line as the true one and it will stand,
even if 1t should defeat Mr.. Jones.
