TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE.
Thomas C. Borden and Miss Lizzie
Jenreys Married.


Yernandina, Fla, Dec. 2.-The most
elegant wedding for many years
past was celebrated here last even
ing at ST. Peters Episcopal church,
the rector. Rev. E. Gay. offici-
ating, and the contracting parties be-
ing Thomas c. Borden and Miss Lizzie
Jeffreys, the eldest daughter of William
o. Jeffreys, the managing partner of F.
w. Hoyt & Co., and president of the city
council.
Both these young people are leaders in
Fernandina society circles, both are pop
ular, and both alike members of the same
church where they plighted their troth,
and by the beautiful ceremonial and ring
service, were made man and wife.
The attendants were Mr.. f. r. Williams,
best man; Miss Cora Jeffreys, maid of
honor; Messrs. w. L. Hillyer of Jackson
Vile, Harry Dozier of Ocala, M. A Will
Jams and ]. d. Mallard. The bridesmaids
were Misses Jennie Ferago of Atlanta,
Tallulah Pope of Jacksonville Miss Fan
ME Williams and Miss Annie Jeffreys.
On retiring from the church, the bride
and groom led the procession to the Lohen-
grin march, followed by the best man and
maid of honor, bridesmaids and ushers.
Carriages were waiting, and the party and
attendants were driven to the home of the
brides parents, on Ash street, where a de-
lightul reception was held, and delicious
refreshments were served. The presents
were numerous and costly.
Mr.. Borden is a young man of excellent
business qualification and is vice consul
for both Brazil and the Argentine Repub-
lie, and is said to have been, when he was
appointed, the youngest consul in the Uni
ted States. He is the brother of Col. n. B.
Borden, the famous filibuster agent of the
Cubans.
The happy bride and groom left this
morning for trip to Mississippi and the
west, where they will visit Mr.. Borden's
mother, and in few weeks return and
make their home here.

SOUTH CAROLINA's GOVERNOR.
Upwards of 1000 Offices Are at His
Disposal.

Disposal.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. Gov. ELECT Ell
lerbe is already being beseeched by office
seekers. He has upwards of 1900 offices
at his disposal This includes the appoint
ment of all the magistrates master in
equity, county auditors and treasurers,
constables, etc.
In the case of the auditors, masters and
treasurers, while he is not compelled so to
do, he will regard the party primary NOM
ination. The incoming governor had no
opposition in his selection and it was prac-
tically unanimous.
He announced a few days ago that he
intended to reward all recommendations
from legislative delegations and had de-
termined only to appoint the best men in
the community.
The governor also has the power to put
the metropolitan police law upon any city
or town. This law has been exercised only
once. The present governor applied it
to Charleston. Ellerbe promised in the
campaign to remove the police, which has
so ranked in the bosoms of the people
of Charleston, If they would see that the
dispensary law was enforced in that city
A personal friend of the governor-elect
says he will carry out this PROMISE come
what may.

was indicted by the recent grand Jury.
which is the first that has met since Kra-
mer went into Office. There have been
all sorts of reports in circulation of late
about the Irregularities practiced in his
Office by Kramer. The indictment charges
Kramer with extortion from Henry Wag-
ner, in case where embezzlement was
charged. Kramer was arrested and gave
bond for his appearance before the city
court. There has been a great deal of
complaint by citizens about the manner in
which justices of the peace in this CITY
conduct their business, and all sorts of
charges have been heard on the streets
against first one and then another but
this Is the first time within a number of
years that one of the number has been
indicted. 1t is safe to say that some sort

Dnuntkess All at Jacksonville.

Jacksonville, Fla Dec. 2.-Three IA
nous filibusters-the Three Friends, Com
modore and Dauntless-are now in port
endeavoring to get clear of the meshes OF
the law.

Havana, but the collector of the port will
not give her clearance papers without au-
thority from the treasury department at
Washington.
The Three Friends has been admitted to
bond by Judge Locke, and as soon as this
bond is given, will be free to manouevre

say that more tilibustering expeditions
are contemplated. but it may be said safe
~ that there will be no developments on
this line for several days.

OPERA GLASSES HIRED AT THEA
TER.

A word to the wise Is sufficient. Don't
ruin your eyes by cheap glasses. Eacn
tense should be fitted to each eye sepa-
rately. You cannot get this unless you
have your eyes examined by scientific
process, Nature demands perfect vision.
You cannot get this unless the glasses
you wear are perfect in every respect.
After that is accomplished the next
thing is the frame for the glasses. It
must fit perfectly in every respect, giving
the wearer comfort and ease. Many
lenses fitted by oculists do not accom-
plish their object on account of misfitted
frames. We have made this point a
study and measure every point of the
face so there can be no mistake.
Bear this in mind. We examine your
eyes free of charge and ft them with
the proper glasses, and you pay no more
than you would buying the same grade
of goods over any dealers counter.
