GIRL FAIRLY BEAMED.
And Then Two Thirsty Ones Realized
That They Had Been Chumps.


That They Had Been Chumps.
They were two newspaper men and
they were thirsty, which some people
may think goes without saying. They
left the city editors room for the ele-
vator on a trip in which, so says the Chi
cago Tribune, they were going to shake
dice for the drinks. AS they skirted the
rail of the stairway Salvation Army
girl with an armful Of copies of the War
Cry appeared on the landing Is feet be-
low. She looked up at the thirsty ones
and said: "Buy War Cry" and she
half opened her purse in a manner at
once coaxing and suggestive of the idea
that she did not expect to be refused.
"I'll bet you the drinks" said the all
round hustler to the political cor
respondent, shat out of five throws

"Done," said the other, and forthwith
he tipped nickel toward the open
mouth of the pocketbook which the
lassie held up. 1t landed straight and
true and the girl smiled under her blue
bonnet. The CLUSTERS" nickel clinked
against that of his adversary as it
dropped straight to the bottom of the
purse.
The Salvation Army girl was shrewd.
She caught every one of the coins deft-
ly. The newspaper men could not have
missed if they tried. When each had
thrown eight nickels and the army
treasury was the richer by so cents they
counted up what was left and-quit.
The girl fairly beamed.

WEDDING BELLS.
Barr-Richards.

Mr.. Samuel NJ. Barr, of this city,
Nashville, were united in marriage
on last Tuesday evening, at the home
of the brides parents, 504 Monroe
Street. Brilliant Examinations, the
fragrance and beauty of all the
flowers which bedeck the marriage
altar in the month of June, and soft
strains of music BETTING the Occa-
sion, rendered the ceremony, which
was performed by Rev. T. l.. Moody,
particularly impressive. After the
ceremony, and the hearty congratu-
lations of their friends, the bridal
party and guests repaired to the
spacious dining room, where deli
cious menu was served.
Columbia is fortunate indeed to
have Mr.. and Mrs. Barr make their
home here. Mr.. Barr has made a
host of friends in Columbia, and is a
splendid young man in every respect.
He possesses all the qualities of heart
and mind which constitute true
manhood, combined with a gentle
ness and amiability of disposition,
which wins for him the respect of all
with whom he comes in contact.
Mrs. Barr is as yet unknown in
Columbia, but her splendid family
connections, her fine intellectual ac-
complishments, and her fascinating
manners will soon win for her
friends without number.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barr came immedi-
ately to their home, the McCord
house, on Sixth street.

Daughters of the Confederacy.

A regular meeting of the Maury
County Chapter will be held on Fri
day, July 3, at o'clock p. M, at the
residence of Mrs. Ellen Huntington.
1t is hoped that the members will
attend these monthly meetings, and
each endeavor to bring in recruits !;
otherwise, interest will lag and our
chapter die.
For the benefit of those who have
so kindly assisted us in our work, L
will state that since the Chapter
was formed in March, we have sent
on the sum of $500 for the Battle
Abbey fund, assisted in various
ways toward raising money for the
Sam Davis monument, and con-
tributed funds for the relief of sew.
eral disabled veterans.
Our roll now numbers 43 members.
Among the number, one resides in
Memphis, another in Cincinnati;
but the ties which bind them to their
girlhood's home have led them TO
place their names upon the roll
book of the Maury County Chapter
of the Daughters of the Confederacy.

City Marshall Guest and Officers
Friel and Roberts wrote their names
high up on the honor roll last Sat
urday. They not only caught eight
gamblers and Che keeper of the
game dead to rights, but they did it
so publicly and attracted so much
attention thereby, in the broad glare
of daylight, that they threw con-
sternation in their ranks and closed
the gambling hell tight and fast. for
the present at least, and for good
we hope.
The game was being run by one
VIM. Brown, over Ragan's saloon,
in Watson the liveryman's building,
on South Main street. How the
police got on to it, is their business.
But they got there, or whereabouts,
and all around there. The birds
that flew to the roof and Topped to
the ground, found little Jimmie
Roberts standing there with stick
in his hand, and they sheepishly
turned and went back up stairs with
him, where Capt. Friel was keeping
guard and making a list of their
names. In the meantime City Mar
shall Guest was yanking Others from
their hiding places, until very soOu
the covey was collected again.
Then they were marched to the
City Hall, where they gave bond fol
their appearance on Monday. Mon
day Judge Erwin fined each of the
gamblers So and costs, and the
keeper of the game $25 and costs.
The gambling devices-tables, GOV
ers, chips, dice, boxes, cards, ETC.
We're saturated with coal oil, put il
a pile in front of the City Hall Mon
day about noon, and burned.
All honor to the officers, and may
the good work go on.
