The beautiful home of Elder 7. ID. Gold,

spring and most brilliant scene ON Wed
nesday evening, it being the occasion
of most delightful entertainment in
honor of Charles ID. Gold and his beau
tiful and very attractive bride, nee Miss
Ella Howard, Of Edgecombe The hap
py couple had just returned from a bridal
tour of Northern cities, and their num-

Charles Gold is a model gentleman-a
magnificent type of splendid manhood
Affable, courteous, high toned and lofty
minded, cultured and polished are some
of the graces which make him an ideal
gentleman. The bride is not only a most
beautiful woman, but she has in high de-
gree those finer charms and sweeter vir-
tues which give to womanhOod its highest
worth and nOblest excellence. And so,
with such fine qualities so harmoniously
blended, and with skies so brilliantly lit
with effulgent love beams, earth will be
to them a scene of radiance, and life an
anthem Of gladness, for every bush will
be flower and every sound a song.

Washington, March 11.-Mr. III. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, has been rendered
the office of commissioner of pensions
and in all probability will accept the APP

Chattanooga district in Congress for sew

ira tion was first Assistant Postmaster
General. Later he ran for Governor of
Tennessee ON the Republican ticket and

in doubt for many weeks and it was not
until after a warm fight before the board
appointed to review the election that it
finally was announced officially that
Governor Turney, his Democratic oppo-

the South's representative in Mr.. Nc

ness man of conceded executive ability
He is a manufacturer and has large

Property Which the State Claims
Atlanta, Ga, March 11-State of
Georgia will soon begin suit against the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway for property in Chattanooga
said to be worth $250,000. The suit will
proba bly, be brought in the United States
district court and be tried by jury.
w A. Wimbish, Special States Attor-
ney for the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, reported to the legislature last fall
that the State probably had a good title
to certain depot property in Chattanooga,
conveyed TO the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railway by Governor Brown
in 1860.
He based this opinion upon the fact
that the record showed no authority given
the Governor to convey this property
and that the receipt showed no consider
ation for it. The legislature instructed
the special attorney to ask the submission
of the question to a State commission
appointed by the Governor OF Georgia,
and in case Of refusal to bring suit for
the property in a court Of competent jur-
isdiction. The defendant refused, hence
the suit.

fighter.
The only thing for you to do Fitzsim-

agreement on this thing, and the sooner
you do it the better it will be for all con-

Siler wants, is for you and Corbett to
agree on something that will suit you
both, and something that will be falr
