There is sill much doubt existing in the public mind as to whether Gen. James Lcngs.reet and Mss Ellen Dortch. a brave, iniell.e.ual young Geor- gia woman, are to be married or not. For some time the report has been growing in strength ard detail that they are to be welded speedily, but until few days ago all such reports have been positively denied by Gen. Longstreet, Miss Dortch and their intimate friends. The Atlanta Cons itution of Sunday and Monday has devoted much space to in- teresting rumors of the approaching nuptials of this notable couple It is announced with degree of certainty that Lhe wedding will occur tomorrow, at Atlanta, at the executive. mansion, on Peachtree street. Gov. and Mrs. Att kinson are warm personal friends of Miss Dortch, and have taken a great
 inaerest in her career Miss Dortch is
 now about "A years of age; what she has accomplished has been through the force of her intellect and because of certain womanly aggressiveness. She has been assistant state librarian for several years at the Georgia capitol, and she was largely instrumental in the passing of the "Dortch bill last winter by the Georgia legislature, which made women eligible to become s.al:e libra rians. She won the fight, after a bitter struggle, and her cause was espoused by many of the most prominet and inc fuential women of Georgia. At one time Miss Dontch edl.ed small paper in Franklin county, Georgia, and her ed- itorial work was so superior and origi- nal that she attracted a-tsntion in many

parts of Georgia. Later she was con nectsd with newspapers al5 Mllsdgevlle and Elbelton, Ga, and her advance in journalism was positive and constant. While at ElberJan she was appointed assifitans state librarian. She is a brainy woman of pluck and of indom- itablo will power. Gen. Longstree's grlat age has caused very general doubt as ito the truth of the gossip concerning his marriage 70 Miss Dortch. Still 1t Is believed by many that he wedding will take place without fail tomorrow. If 1t occurs, it will be a quiet affair, with only a few irltimate friends present. Hon. H. W. J. Ham, a popular Geor- gia politician, is announced as Gen. Longs .reer's best man, provided there is a wedding.
 Although General Longstreet has been for so many years member of the republican party, his brilliant rec ord in the confederate army has made him always a grand old hero, even with those southerners who regretted his later politics. He was born in Edge field district, South Carolina, in 1922. When quite young his father came to  Alabama, and from this state young Longstreet entered West Point Military academy in 1S44. His friendship for General Grant began at West Point, and was augmented by the marriage of the then unknown Lieutenant Grant to Miss Julia Dent, of Missouri, who was a first cousin of young Lieutenant Longstreet, who introduced them to each other. The fortunes of war separated the friends, but immediately subsequent to the cessation of hostilities the old time intimacy was renewed, and was never afterwards interrupted.

We arc informed that the representa-
tiyes of the onterprising Wanamaker IL
seeking for an agent to sell tho varol Q
Wanamnker bicycles in this community
during the season Of 1898.
The cycling world is we'll aware Of tho
contract between the Humber Company
and the Wanamaker firm for the control
of tho Humber wheels in tho territory
west one hundred miles and more from
the Atlantic coast, and extending from
Hartford, Conn, to Washington, ID. c.
In thus taking command of tho very
aristocracy of bicycles, John Wanamaker
has illustrated again the high type of mer-
chandising that marks the progress Of his
business. Continental, Coronet, Rodman,
and Continent have been the trademarks
under which Wanamaker has achieved tho
greatest mercantile SUCCESS in bicycles as
yet known to this country. The addition
of the Humber, crowns the list with tho
highest bicycle reputation in tho world.
We predict an increased bicycle success for
Wanamaker in 1898, and trust that plans
for including our city in his system will DO
so far realized as to make ono element in
that success.

anteroom. But Sheriff Whelan and
his men were on hand, and the rush
was successfully stopped when no more
could gain admission to the court room.
When Judge Bahers called upon Dur
rant to stand at the bar the young
murderer's marvellous self control as
yerted itself. He was deathly pale, but
calm and self possessed.
| The defendants attorney entered
technical objections to the proceedings,
hut the judge overruled them and pro-
nounced judgment slowly and impress
sively.
As the words Friday, Nov. u" left
the judges lips murmur ran through
the room. Women hid their faces,
while the men craned their necks to
see how Durrant would take it. He
expected it, and he never tllnched. AS
the date of his doom was pronounced
lust the suspicion of a sneer appeared
on the corners of his mouth. And when
all was over and the officials began to
clear the court room he resumed his
seat and chatted unconcernedly with
his father and some sympathizing
friends.
When the mob was disposed Of Dur
rant was handcuffed and taken back
