Somers said he knew that William in
tended to marry one of the girls, in
answer to question of Lawyer Iredell,
who represented the defendants.
Sarah r. Rankins was called. She
said she lived at No. 13 Mt. Vernon next
to the girls. Never heard any disturb
ances in their house.
Mr. Iredell asked the Court to discharge
the defendants on account that the State
had not established the fact that there
was any disorderly house, no liquor sold,
no immortality or gambling going on
there.
Mr.. Iredell called William Morrison,
who said he furnished the house on Mt.
Vernon street, and was going to get
married to one of the girls on the Satur-
day night after their arrest. They were
simply getting ready to be married.
Lizzie Webb was called, and said she
was at No. IL Mt Vernon street, ,squaring
tround the house cleaning it up, Morrison
bought some furniture as they were going
get married and live there. told
Morrison would marry him.
Mary Webb, the sister of the former
witness, corroborated her sisters testi-
mony in reference to how she happened
to be at the house.
The court said owing to the circum
stances of the case and the evidence not
being very strong against them, he would
discharge the defendants.

room, and who four or five years ago left
the two girls on the street to look out for
themselves. gathered one girl under each

HOME WEDDING.
In the Presence of One Hundred and Fifty
Friends the Couple Were Joined in


Matrimony.
Few home weddings have been more
char ,ningly pleasing than the one Wednes
day afternoon, when Samuel M. Coombs,
Jr., the we'll known merchant, and Miss
Sara Flavelle, became husband and wife.
In the handsome residence of Mrs.
F'lavelle, corner of Fayette snd Hampton
streets, the ceremony was performed and
more than one hundred and fifty friends
OF the couple witnessed the pleasing
event.
The interior of the residence was trans
formed into averitable garden of palms,
ferns and chrysanthemums, smilax
trailing everywhere, while roses, Ameri-
can beauties, lent their fragrance to it all.
Before half-past two the carriages had
brought the invited guests, one hundred
and fifty, possibly more. They were
ushered into the spacious home, and
every one was charmed with the scene
presented. A little later and the sweet
strains Of the wedding march filled the
room, and but moment following. from
the apartments up stairs came the couple.
Miss Flavelle leaned gracefully upon the
arm of the prospective husband, and they
proceeded directly to the parlor, where
in the great bay window they faced Rev.
G. G. Tilley, pastor Of the First Baptist
Church. The alcove was banked with
ferns and palms, while queenly chrys-
anthemums added their beauty to the
pretty picture.
Miss Flavelle was richly attired in an
exquisite dress of cream colored satin,
handsomely trimmed, long train sweep
ing the floor, while bridal veil en-
veloped her figure. In her hand she
carried great bunch of handsome bridal
roses.
With the pretty ring ceremony the all
important words were soon pronounced,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Coombs turned to face
their many friends. Sincere, earnest
congratulations showered upon them,
while the strains of glorious wedding
march filled the entire house with its
gladstone harmony.
After the congratulations, the couple,
with their friends, were ushered to the
spacious dining room, where Mrs. Lam
ing had prepared a magnificent colIati on
The table was picture. In the centre
was rare palm, about it beautiful flow
ers, while the fruits and cakes added an
attractiveness.
The menu, so nicely served, was salad
fried oysters, rolls, ice cream, cakes,
coffee.
Mr.. and Mrs, Coombs left Bridgeton
upon the o'clock D. m. train. their de-
parture being in the presence of many of
their friends, and as they proceeded from
their carriage to the train they were
showered with rice. They go direct to
Washington, and will go from there to
Newark. Upon their return to Bridge
ton they will take up their residence in
their handsome new home, corner of
Fayette and Vine streets.

All such devices are in direct violation of

Due the omcers eaten Their Man. Where
Bicycles Come in use on the
Police Force.
Bicycles came in use Saturday in the
capture of noted criminal, John R.
Somers, who late Saturday afternoon was
apprehended by officers Betchner and
Smith.
Somers has been wanted by the officers
for long time, but it's only recently
that they could get his track.
Somers had been suspicioned as be-
ing the fellow who went into w. w.
Lupton,s store, on South Laurel street.
and stole revolver. but he has since KEEP
himself rather shady, until the officers
heard of his being here last week.
He appeared in Court in the disorderly
house case of the Webb girls and young
Morrison, but he kept pretty quiet after
that. A warrant was out for his arrest,
and Officers Retchner and Smith got after
him Friday night, and was close on his
tracks, but they failed to find him.
Saturday morning Officers Woodruff
and Garrison were hunting for him, but
were not rewarded by catching their
man. In the afternoon the other two
officers, in citizens clothes, got after
Somers. and towards night had the for
tune of capturing him.
They heard that he was coming down
from the Tumbling Dam and Betchner
secreted himself back of bunch of
briars and waited. The officers had lef
their wheels at a house nearby. Pre-
sently Somers came along, and Betchner
started for him. He ran, butthe doughty
officer drew his gun on him, and de-
manded him to stop, which he did.
He was then handcuffed and brought
before Mayor Appellate, who committed
him to Jail to await hearing.
While Somers was arrested on the
charge of stealing the pistol, there are
other charges of serious character over
hanging him. The officers say he is
sneak thief and also.aa burglar, all of
which will be brought against him. They
consider they have a valuable prize in
Somers. He has been pretty slick one,
they say, and has been away from town
since some of his robbing has been done.

THE SUGAR BEET
A New and Profitable Drop for the
South.


South.
Atlanta Journal.
The question whether the sugar
bet eau be grown profitably in the
south has been much discussed.
Its Importance iustif1es the consid-
Grafton it has received. The produc-
ton of beet sugar is increasing every
year, and it has been demonstrated
that this industry can thrive in
several of our northwestern states.
The time is coming when a far great
er part of the sugar used in this
country will be raised here, and it
must come from the beet. Those
sections which can grow the sugar
beet will have great and valuable
industry.
The theory that this beet will
thrive only in those states where the
industry Is already established has
been very generally accepted, but
there is good reason to believe that
it may be profitably extended to
many parts of the south.
Mr.. Hartman has established q
German colony at Calhoun Falls, g.
c., which will devote it's attention
largely TO the cQl6iVatlOn Oh the
sugar beet. Mr.. Hartman was reared
in that part of Germany where the
sugar beet thrives best. He is q
practical farmer, and after full inves-
tigation and frequent experiments he
is convinced thai the beet will grow
well in the region where he has
planted his colony. Next year we
shall have the results of an expert
ment there which may mean much to
the south.

WITH A BIG r.

1t will be remembered that the
crowd that Hal Aver runs with cried
loudly for retrenchment and reform
before the election and were very
lib sral with promises of what they
would do in this direction if the peo-
pie would only clothe them with
authority. BY means of trading aud
dickering with the Republican party,
a party directly opposed to nearly
every principle for which they pre-
tended to stand, some of this crowd,
and Hal Aver among them, man
aged to secure the offices for which
they sighed. They had not been in
long before an era of extravaganza
and wastefulness was inaugurated
and the slogan of reform" was
transformed into hollow mockery;
or, rather, the veil was removed from
the shams and receptions Of the pie
hunters and they stood before the
people in their real attitude of de-
ceivers-of reformers for revenue
only.
Among other things, it will be re-
membered, Hal Aver complained
that the State did not pay enough
for the valuable services of the man
who occupied the Auditors office in
the State house. We are reminded
of this incident in the reform history
by the following from the Nashville
Banner, in which Hal will find food
for reflection. The Banner says:

SOME MOTHERLY ADVICE,
A Dozen Appeals to "Our Girls" for
Their Own Good.

A Dozen Appeals to ''Our Girls" for
Their Own Good.
Do be tidy; tidyness is necessary to
ladyhood.
Do be natural; a poor diamond is
better than a good imitation.
Do try to be accurate.
Do observe; the faculty of observa.
ton makes practical men and
women.
Do try to be sensible; it is not a
sign of superiority to talk like fool.
Do be ready in time for church.
Do avoid causes of irritation in
your family circle. Reflect that
home is the place in which to be
agreeable.
Do be reticent; the world at large
has no interest in your private
affairs.
Do cultivate the habit of listening
to others.
Do be contented; martyrs" are
detestible, and a cheerful, happy
spirit is in ectious; you can carry it
about with you like a sunny atmos-
phere.
Do be truthful; do avoid exaggera-
tions; if you mean a mile, say mile,
not a mile and a half; if you mean
one, say one, not doZ,
Do, sometimes at least, allow your
no other to know better than you do;
she was educated before you were
born.

THE BIG MEETING.

Although Evangelist Lee has been
laboring in our community for about
three weeks, the interest in his great
tent meeting keeps up wonderfully.
Indeed, it seems that the attendance
and the results increase from night
to night. Many people, both white
and colored, have been benefited
morally and spiritually, and impetus
has been given to the cause of temp
erance. This is gratifying, but what
of the future? Will the many good
resolutions formed during the meet
ing be kept, or will they soon be
broken?
One of the great needs of the day is
steadfastness. To push forward the
cause of the Master and to better the
condition of humanity men and
women are needed who will not only
resolve to quit the wrong and do the
right, but who will stick to their
resolutions through thick and thin
and who will, under all circum-
stances, when there is wave of re-
ligious fervor and when this wave
has subsidized, stand as a stone wall
for God and the right, and who cam
not be frightened or coercec into the
DEVILS service.
We trust that many of the resolu-
tions formed during this meeting will
prove the sticking kind and that the
earnest labors OF Evangelist Lee will
truly be season of seed sowing
which shall produce an abundant
harvest in the days to come.
