Married the 9th, j. w. Brown, of
Butchertown, and Miss Eva Howard,
of Cherry Grove, at the residence of
the brides father, j. s. Howard; Rev.
W. F. Brown, officiating; Geo. Mussel-
man and Miss Virgie Howard were the

full cream colored dress and the groom
was attired in a dark suit. After re.
ceiving the congratulations of those
present the bridal party wendell their
way to the home of the groom, where
we found his festive board groaning
under the burden of good things which
decorated 1t; not only was our eye
pleased, but after driving six miles to
the voting ground for the pleasure of
voting for Hon. H. Clay Evans and
others Of his stripe and six miles back,
your scribe had an appetite that was
anxious to be appeased by the last of
the good things visible, and l assure
you we did justice to the dinner. We
wish Mr.. and Mrs. Brown q pleasant
voyage over life's rugged sea, and trust
all their troubles will be little ones,
and their table always loaded with
good things, especially when the scribe
is present. Among the guests from a
distance were Mr.. and Mrs. X. Smith
and two daughters, Of Hascue, Greene
County, and Mr.. and Mrs. F. Bennett,
of Jeraldstown. G. w. Jones has re-
turned from the East, where he has
been with stock. s. T. Martin and son
have returned from South Carolina,
where they recently went with a drove
of horses. Ed Leah says the new boy
at his home has been doing a good deal
of yelling, he guesses for Evans and
Morton. Mrs. Jacob Good was the
guest of your scribe last Wednesday.
Messrs. Bayless and Day, of johnson
City, were in this section Saturday and
Sunday, the guests of Misses Alice and

robed in a mantle of beautiful snow
and our wood pile kind of short made
Us feel like winter had visited us a few
days too soon. The tidal wave that
has swept from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific and from the icebergs of the North
to the sunny cline of the South, should
be an object lesson to tariff smashers;
they should read in it that our Ameri-
a people believe in America for
Americans, and that our markets should
be preserved for those who create them,
and to Wilson it proves that instead of
making his non American speech in
London to the trade commerce, he had
better been in the back woods of his
native State in some log school house,
making a school boy speech. However,
there is lots of glory in the recent cleo
ton. j. G. Hartman informs us that
his school at Victory is in a flourishing
condition. Andrew Scalf, of Opossum
Hollow, is all smiles over his new found
treasure, not an opossum but a bounc-
ing boy. Wild Rose, the reason for
our negligence in writing up the dots
from this point is that times had got so

would not tell it; but alas a star has
appeared in the political horizon and
its glittering ray shoot forth East, West,
North and South, and we prophecy for
better times, which will not only put
new energy in the Herald and Tribune
correspondents, but all our people will
feel the effect, and that for the better
mentof their present condition. There
was forty four Republicans in the
Seventh District who did not vote.
