Marietta Journal One of our Marietta
young men, Mr.. Robert L. Carnes, was Sc
cretly married 10 Miss Ida Smith of Blue
Ridge on Oct. q 1898, by Rev. Mr.. Arnold.
The matter has been kept quiet ever
since There were only two other Wit
nesses to the important event, which took.
place at the residence Of Mrs. Shaver in
Blue Ridge Mr.. Carnes was fireman on
the A. X. & N r. r.. for a long while,
and thus met the fair charmer that fir
ed'' his hearts best affections. He is
son of Mr.. Tolbert Carnes, one of our most
esteemed citizens.
Mr.. w. A. Wilcox of Darien, who lost
a large number of horses in the storm of
Oct. 2. has, strange to say, never recovered
a single one of the animals He also lost
d large uulllDGT Oh CdlAiS Dut nc lOhiid TIC
carcasses of such as had been drowned,
and recovered the living animals, so that
all were accounted for. It is his opinion
that the horses swan to the mainland,
scattered out through the back country
and were taken up by parties who said
nothing about the finding of them. His
belief is confirmed because of the fact
that out of such large number he would
have discovered at least a few carcasses
had they been drowned.
Athens Banner: After more than year
of silence, Miss Anna Gean of this city
can speak again. Miss Gean, who has
been confined to her bed for more than
eighteen months, lost her voice entirely
about a year since, and no one ever ex-
pected that she would be able to speak
again in this life. Yet Sunday morning at
her home in this city, surrounded by few
friends and relatives she found her voice
again as If by divine miracle, and began
speaking to those around her, who were
as thoroughly astonished as if they had
witnessed the resurrection OF dead per-
son. Not only can Miss Gean now talk at
will, but she can sing and use her voice
just as she could before 1t left her a year
ago. She sang a number of her favorite
religious songs Sunday and the fact that
her voice had come back to her caused joy
unalloyed not only to the patient sufferer,
but also to her relatives and hosts of
friends. Miss Gean is one of the best
young women in this city. and before be-
ing confined to her room was one of the
most active Christian workers an this
community, she was quite active in the
Sunday school and missionary work of the
Methodist Church, and to her great exert
ions in that direction was due in a large
degree the breaking down of her health.
