memory of that great day when the

Christ, the Lord. The school room was
so nicely arranged; the stage was beau
tifully decorated with notices and
punches Of evergreen, which presented
q beautiful and picturesque scene.
The program was we'll arranged, and
each student did honor to himself and
the occasion. The teachers are to be
praised for their wise selection and
the careful training that each pupil
received at their hands. The pieces

WASHINGTON COLLEGE,.

The present school term opened last
week with bright prospects for a sue
cessful term. Quite a number of new
students have already been enrolled
and more expected soon. Miss Minnie
Bradshaw has gone to North Carolina
to teach school. She was q member of
the Utopian Literary Society and
would have graduated this year, had
she remained in school. She is a pleas.
ant young lady and liked by all, and
the society to which she belonged and
the senior class especially, are sorry
not to have her in school the remainder
Of the term. Miss Anna Bradshaw,
who has been teaching school in North
Carolina for quite awhile, spent the
holidays with homefolks. but has again
returned to her post of duty. Miss
Martha Evans, teacher of the primary
department of the college, is very i'll,
but 1t is hoped she will soon be able to
again resume her work. DR.. Aven, of
Bristol, paid us a brief visit last week.

old soldier who fought for the preser.
walton of the Union between the years
81 and '65, spent last week with friends
in this section, Miss Bell, daughter of
ex-senator West, is now in school here.
w. G. Ingle has just returned from
North Carolina to re enter school. An
other year is gone; 1896, is now history.
1t is now folded as a weave folds
cloth, only to be brought forth for the
inspection Of the future. 1897, is now
in the loom and the ceaseless shuttle
of time clicks with undated monotony,
weaving the good and evil together
with the same indifference that the
"fates piled their skill in spinning and
clipping the threads of human desti-
n.y." Thus a year goes out and a year
comes in, both closely woven together,
and each a part of the warp and wool
of eternity, and fraught with innumer-
able consequences. And, now, at the
outset of the new year, quite a good
deal is said about hard times. What
we want is a prosperous and happy
new year, and the only way to have 1t
so is for everybody to 90 to work and
make it so. We can not expect pros.
porous times and everybody sitting
around on the stool of do nothing.

WEDDING BELLS.
BRITTON-SEAMAN.

Yesterday ct 1890 A, NJ. in the Sec.
ond Presbyterian Church in this place,
the marriage ceremony was performed
which united A. G.. Britton and Miss
Mollie Seaman as mar and wife. The
parties to this marriage are two Of
Jonesboro's most popular and best
liked young people. Mr.. Britton is one
of our energetic business men, and was
raised in this place; his friends are all
those who know him, and his upright,
honest life has earned for him the re.
gard and esteem of everybody in this
community. His bride is one of our
host of charming young ladies; genial
and affable, kind hearted and cheerful,
loved and respected by all for her
many good qualities. The good wishes
of everybody will follow the happy
couple all along lifss devious pathway,
and it is the sincere hope of the Herald
and Tribune that the sunshine may
never fail them, and that all the clouds
that hover above them may show a
silver lining. Mr.. and Mrs. Britton left
for Asheville and will be absent for
some days.
