DRY GnonS.

New York Oct 26.-Dry goods are quiet
in all lines again this week. 1t was hoped
that an increase in interest in some grades
would be noticed. but so far this has
failed to materialize. The lack of season
able weather has undoubtedly had much
to do with the current dizziness, but the
reticence of buyers is also attributed to
no small degree to the current belief that
the low price of cotton gives manufactur-
ers of cotton goods an opportunity to make
money at current prices, and that this
will be many opportunities to purchase
before prices are advanced. Wooden goods
on the other hand are well supported ana
the utmost confidence is evinced by sell
ers as to the future of the wooden goods
trade. The demand for seasonable goods
is well sustained In staple cottons the
local first hand market is still dull. Print
cloths remain inactive at the low price
prevailing-23sc.

lower. Considerable inves ment buying

A Surprise Marriage.

Saturday evening about S:3O o'clock Mir. John Moore and Miss Lutie Allen were united in marriage at the par soDage of the First Methodist Church Rev. A. 0. Evans officiating.
 The marriage was rather unexpect- ed and was brought immediately about by peculiar circumstances. On last Tuesday night Miss May Allen, sister of last nights bride, left m en- tertainment ana repaired to the Me thodist parsonage where she was married to Mr.M Nj. Laws. This mar riage and the manner of it, proved highly obiectionablet to q married sis ter, with whom the two young ladies made their home, and when Miss Lu- tie, the bride of last night, returned home, she was charged with compile ity in her sisters marriage and was refused admittance. Since that time she has stayed with friends. and at once informed her fiance of her situa- tion. with the result that she, herself, became bride last night. The ceremony was witnessed by only few immediate friends.
 The young lady is highly esteeme1 by all " ho know her and has the best wis hes of her friends forfuture happi- ness.
 We extend our congratulations and good wishes.
