A Midnigh Marriage.

Notwithstanding all expectations
there were few who were not surprised
this morning to hear that pretty Miss
Alice Minis, the belle of Lauderdale and
Mr., Harry Lovedale had eloped.
Nevertheless it is true.
This happy couple boarded the north
bound Mobile and Ohio passenger train

ride arrived in the village of Macon,

Portable coach for a cab, which vehicle
transferred them safely to the Presby-

comodating DR.. Lattimer, who by spe-
cial order had the marriage license in
readiness. In the twinkling of an eye
and with no witnesses but the inmates
of the parsonage the preacher pro-
uounced the brave little couple man and
wife. After they had received his bless
ing they stepped into the waiting vehi-
Gle, and in a few minutes were quietly
speeding along toward the hotel.
They arrived at the depot just in time
to mount the homeward bound passen

Did Not Materialize,

The rumor that was so generally cir
culated Saturday and Sunday that the
Governor would send a special mes
sage to the Legislature Monday on the
capitol question, and which was re-
peated so often that many people be-
gan to believe it, did not materialize
much to the disappointment of those
who are favorable to the building of a
new capitol.
The rumor could be traced to no def
nit source, and no one seems to know
how it originated.
The Clarion Ledger has believed all
along that the Governor would send in
a special message urging the building of
a new capitol or the repairing of the old
one, but has little hope now that he will
do so, as this is the fourth week of the
session, which cannot be continued be.
You'd thirty days, unless the Governor
''deeming the public interest to require
it, shall extend the sitting by proclama-
ton in writing a + = for a speeial num-.
Der of days.
The Surface indications are to the
effect that the capitol bill is dead for
this session. The Clarion. Ledger would
rejoice, however, if this should prove a
mistake.
If there was a necessity for a new cap.
itol ut the extraordinary session. the
need is no less imperative today, for
time and the elements have not i'm

Stock Breeders Association.

Governor McLaurin has sent out over
the state the following suggestion.
which is a very good one:
Whereas, THE Stock Breeders As
ISOLATION, . of this state have a meeting
at Aberdeen on the 49,, II and IS. of
February, 1898, which will bring to
gether a large number of the farmers of
the state, and it is their desire that not
only stock breeders but all classes Of
farmers should be included in this asso-
citation; I, therefore, suggest that the
farmers of every county meet at their
respective court houses, on Saturday the
9th day of February, 1898. and appoint
delegates to meet in Aberdeen on the
10th day of February, for the purpose
of organizing such association.

The wahaIak Wreck.

The Mobile and Ohio detectives be-
heve that in the negro Nicholson, now
under arrest, they have the man who
caused the recent disastrous wreck on
that line neal Wahalak.
Nicholson has been for some time en-
ployed as a section hand on the road,
About two years ago he had a a kius-
man to have a horse killed by the road,
which ended in a contention as 10 the
payment on the value of the animal.
EAbout six months later a cousin of
Nicholson's was killed while trying to
Jump off and on a train. This only in
creased the ill feeling that the negro
had for the road.
The climax. in the minds of the Off
GERS, seems to have been reached when
another cousin, a negro girl, and a
brother to the boy who was killed by
the cars year and a half ago, got fear
fully wounded while racing her horse
across the track near the station of Wa
halak. The girl still lives but is not
yet out of danger, The horse is dead
since the little incident occurred.
When the detective Of the Mobile &
Ohio arrived on the scene he at once
took c~ognizance of these facts, and
quietly worked up the whereabouts of
Nicholson the fatal night and getting
together other testimony he gathered
enough to warrant him in swearing out
a warrant for the negro's arrest.
