WEDDING BELLS.

Last night, Oct. 20, 1896, Walter R.
Jennings and Miss George Young
were joined in the holy bond of we'd
lock at the Methodist church, the
ceremony which pronounced them
man and wife being performed by
Rev. e. ID. MouZon, their pastor. At
ter the ceremony the bridal party
repaired to the home of Mrs. Sven
son, where a bountiful repast had
been prepared as a marriage feast,
which however was private, gotten
up only for relatives and the bridal
party.
The bride was a beautiful vision in
white silk and chiffon with diamond
ornaments, orange blossoms grace
fully draping the veil and carrying
boquet of fair brides roses.
Mr.. Jennings came to Abilene sew
eral years ago and has been identi-
fed with the social and business
interests of the city in no small way.
His exemplary habits and his: will
ingness to lend a helping hand to
every enterprise has made him a
favorite with all classes. He is
manager of the Electric Light Co.,
in Abilene, and is also connected
with the Telephone Exchange and is
a fine electrician.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings will live al
the Windsor for the next few days
and will then go to housekeeping in
the cottage purchased some time
ago by Mr.. Jennings from ]. L.

AS the returns elsewhere will
show, Maury County played an hon
orable part in the battle last Tues
day, and carried to success the peo-
pies flag of true Democracy. This
splendid result could not have been
achieved without organization, and
no organization can be had without
an organizer. Speakers and work
ers all over the county responded
nobly to the call, but to one man
more than to any other one man is
due the need of praise and the
thanks of Maury County Democ-
racy, and that one man is Chairman
John IT.. Williamson. Night and
day, early and late, without resting,
sometimes without eating, he gave
his time, his talents and his means
to the peoples cause and should
have the reward of the honest graft
tude of every true heart.

and draw water for their plutOcratic
masters. We bow our head in
shame that Hanna, with his Doodle,
has been able to buy this election.
But it seems he has. We doubt, yet,
however, if he defeated Bryan at the
polls. The manner in which the
news was handled, the false news
sent out and the slow handling
of it, gives rise to the suspicion
that his polluting gold has
been at work on the returning off,
GERS since the votes were cast. That
remains to be seen%Aand however
that may be, truth though crushed
to the earth will rise again." Never
a Drawer leader lead a juster cause,
than Bryan and his platform were.
He is young and strong and pure
and brave; great in himself, great
in his cause, great in defeat. He
is an inspiration to the youth Of
America and hope to the aged
and neither he nor his cause can
die. He may be thrown down for
day, but he will rise again.

The HERALD extends a right
hand of fellowship to the Populists
of Maury County. To defeat Re-
publican for Governor, and prevent
the possibility of Republican SEN
ator in case an unfortunate victory
might occur, you left Mr.. Minis, a
deserving, faithful leader, and cast
your votes for Taylor. To defeat
the Republican goldite standard
bearer, you left Blackburn, clean,
fair, honest man, and cast your
votes for our nominee, Col. Cox.
Whether Bryan was your man or
ours; whether we took your platform
or you came to ours; whether we
came back or you came back, it
matters little; the fact is, we got to-
gether; now lets stay together. Let
the fusion be adhesive. Stay with
us. In county, State and National
affairs, vote in our primaries. Fuse
no more with the Republicans.
Never again march under banner
you are ashamed of. Never again
allow the taunts or jeers of your
enemies, to drive you, or the spoils
of Office allure you, to leave the
white mans party of the South.
Let all past chickering's and differ
ences be forgiven and forgotten, and
lets stand together for white SUI
premacy, good morals, and econ.
omical government, and against
plutocracy, trial by injunction, com
bines, monopolies and trusts.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-11-06

The Democracy of Maury, true to
its principles, voted the straight
ticket with little scratching, giving
Col. Cox nearly as many votes as
Bryan received. In this the Popu-
lists deserve an equal share of
credit, for they-in order to defeat a
gold bug, left their party and voted
for the strongest silver candidate in
the race. Their patriotism and adj
herence to principle should not be
forgotten.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-11-06

THE Republicans and gold bugs
having failed-as we believe-to buy
the people, are now attempting to
buy the election officers, and if they
fail in that, will attempt to steal
Congress and the Presidency. AS
evidence of this, we submit the
following from the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal: "On the face of
the returns in this congressional
district E. w. Carmack seems to
have carried the day for congress.
1t would afford the Democrats of
this district great pleasure If the in
dications could be accepted, but
they cannot. In this city the voting
was designedly obstructed; in the
outside counties the ballot boxes
were stolen. These outrages elect
no one. There will be an aftermath
of course-an unpleasant one for
some people, and the Commercial
Appeal can say with humiliation
and regret: Il told you So Col
Josiah Patterson is the present anC
will be the next congressman from
this district"
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-11-06

NEXT to Bryan the interest of the
HERALD aud its Maury County
readers, was conferred in Carmack,
and the shout that went up when
the first news of his triumphant
election was received, made the
walls of the Bethel House tremble.
He made a gallant fight and richly
deserved the magnificent victory he
won. All the odds were agains
him, except the people. Not only
do we rejoice in his success, and the
success of the cause he stands for,
but the defeat of Josiah is a sweet
morsel to our lips-and at a time
too, when sweet morsels are not
over plentiful.
