The following was handed us Mon.
| day, with the request that we publish
it: "Mr. Dick Childers and Miss Jen-
ME Albert were united in marriage at
the home OF the bride in this city, Fri
day morning. August 18th 1894. Fair
child officiating. AS Miss Jennie was
very nice young lady. we are sorry
to say that she married against her
parents will. Her mother says it was
the most disobedient wedding she ever
saw. The mother was SO near out of
her head that she picked up and ran
OIL from the wedding. The mother
says that her daughter treated her SO
bad that she could not stay, and the
father is hurt mighty bad over the we'd
ding; but they could not help it. you
see."
One day last week as Samuel Rice
and John Wood, of Belleview, with
their families, were returning from a
visit to Logans Creek, they stopped at
a spring On James Rayfeld's farm on
Peola, and after eating proceeded on
their way, but had travelled only short
distance they were all eight in num-
bef) seized with violent cramping and
vomiting. A messenger was dis
patched to this place for physician.
but on account of several bad cases in
town the physicians here were unable
to attend them. The symptoms very
much indicate poisoning, which must
have gotten into their food by accident.
After few days they recovered suf-
ficiently to make their way home

Complaints are being continually
made of the condition of the iron
bridge between this town and Arcadia.
The flooring is worn and rotted through
in places. and, having been repaired
heretofore by planking over the origi-
nal flooring, the condition of the
planks underneath the top layer can
not be known except by actual test.
If you go over safely, all right; if you
break through. then you find out that
you have struck defective spot. Your
eyesight is of no avail, because the
danger beneath is hidden by the dan
ger above. Tear off the old floor and
put down one of four-inch oak, the
pieces half an inch apart, SO that pud-
dies OF water will not remain after ev-
cry shower, to rot the lumber.
About four hundred people came
down on the excursion from st. Louis
Sunday. The train consisted of six
cOaches-chair cars-and beer car,
to say nothing of the engine. About
one-half the excursionists disembarked
at Ironton, and the other moiety went
to Arcadia. From these points rigs
were used to transport the visitors to
various points of interest in the Val
ley and neighborhood: but many of
them took it afoot, and, as the wealth
.5r was not sweltering hot, they prob
ably enjoyed themselves as well as
those who rode in chaises. 1t was
model crowd in demeanor and sObri-
ETY., and many ladies were in attend
ance. The beer car was close as a
clam while in the Valley. and he who
became thirsty during the stay here
had to quench his thirst with thinner
beverages. The shell" men and the
fortune-wheelers were notably absent,
and the verdant denizen was free from
temptation. The day passed quietly,
and when evening came the excursion
lists departed-we hope, well satisfied
with their outing.
NARROW Cox of Graniteville was ar
rested on the 9th inst, on a warrant
issued at the instance of the Schneider
Granite Company, he being charged
with stealing dynamite. He was In
the employ of the Company for quite a
while. For some time past past the
Company has been missing dualine,
fuse and caps, and one night about
three weeks ago, the powder-hOuse
was broken into. Through the means
of a man boarding with Cox. it was
learned that the defendant had quite
store of these articles in his bureau
drawer. A search warrant was OBJ
tanned from Justice Schwaner, and
armed with this, couple of deputy
sheriffs went to Cox's house and found
in the bureau Is sticks Of dynamite,
$50 feet of fuse, and IS caps. Cox,
who was arrested on this showing,
claimed that he was in lawful posses
sion of the articles; that he had taken
them home In the evening after work,
they being the residue OF the days sup-
ply: that it was his purpose to use
them next day in prosecuting the Com
pany's work. He gave bond, and the
preliminary trial was set for yesterday,
J. S. Jordan prosecuting, and VIM. X.
Edgar defending, After the witness
es for the State had been heard-the
defense refraining from introducing
testimony-Justice Schwaner found
Cox guilty of petit larceny and fined
him So Whereupon the defendant
took an appeal to the circuit court.
On Tuesday OF last week Martha Can
ture. aged Is. and up to that time
resident of IrontOn, was employed at
the Arcadia House. She remained on
ly two days, making her departure
Thursday night. Several days after
ward it was noticed that she was rather
flush Of greenbacks: and Sheriff Fisher,
knowing her usual financial condition,
had his suspicious aroused by the law
ish nature of her expenditures. 1nqui
