Lieutenant James n. Cox WedS
Miss Ida MCGhee.

Lieutenant James II. Cox has
given up single blessedness and ha:
become a chained captive to the
machinati ms Of the little love God
Cupid. For some time the Lieu
tenant has been quietly nursing that
divine Spark-the love eternal-and
last week the elimination was a
marriage. Miss Ida McGhee, of
Athens, Tenn, beautiful young girl
Of twenty was the happy bride. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. j.
NJ. Stewart at his residence in Big
Stone Gap, the bride being a sister
OF his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joseph
Stewart.
Lieutenant Cox is of the type that
young girls most admire. \ dash
ing cavalry officer, brave and daring,
he won his spurs right nobly and
well. Handsome, ingenious, cult
waited, with a commanding presence
and sprngy step one would not
take the Lieutenant to be over forty
years Of age, as it is he is just enter
ing his fftieth year.
Mr.. Cox's old comrades in arms
speak well of his daring and soldierly |
bearing in the recent war and it is
very interesting to hear him talk of
the incidents which came under his
personal observation. Mr.. Cox is
great fisherman, everybody on the
llolstOn river knows that. He can
catch fish when others can not get
bite. The writer well remembers
'ne long night camping out on the
HolSton, the camp fire lighting up
he whlteness of the canvass tent, and
lasting reflections upon the winding
liver, the bottle of old apple jack
well nigh empty in the foreground,
listening to war tales and how the
jherokees were driven from the {
long Island, where was fought one
# the most important and decisive
attles of our early Indian wars, and t
ne which the historian has never I
roperly portrayed. Years after this a
anne Island figured in the destiny of S
ne Lieutenant, for here it was he |

Special Navy Supplement.

The subject Of our navy is one
which Is alI-engrossing at the present
time, and the desire for accurate and
reliable information concerning oul
vessels has induced the Scientific
american to publish a special Navy
Supplement of 40 pages, with 90
illustrations. Every effort has been
made to explain what the Navy is.
Comparisons have been drawn, not
only between the various types Of
vessels, bnt also between different
vessels Of the same class. The deS-
criptions are couched in untechnical
language, and after careful reading
OF this number any one can discuss
the merits of the various vessels very
much as he would talk of the good
and bad points Of a horse. The clear
diagrams showing the differences be-
tween these modern fighting machines
render analyses of this kind easy. 1t
is beautifully illustrated by half-tone
engravings and woodcuts showing
not only the naval vessels themselves,
but guns, gun turrets, coming towers,
steering apparatus, etc. This num-
Der has a colored cover and colored
map Of Cuba. Price, % cents.

An altar had been arranged so that
the divine while performing the cere
mony stood in the bay window
which was decorated with flowers,
and a canophy Of lace held back in
such a way that the light from the
rising sun, as it assembled over the
beech grove, which stands in front Of
the residence, cast an effect of light
on the beautiful and impressive scene
that cannot be described, and made
one think of the fact that while a new
and beautiful day was dawning on
the outside world, so also was a new
world dawning on the happy young
couple who were then plighting their
future destiny to be shared by each
other.
The bride looked a picture of
happiness and beauty in white or
CANDY and white silk. The brides
maids, Misses Mollie Moore and Alice
Kennedy, also wore white Organdy
and silk and wreathes of flowers.
The gentlemen wore black.
After the ceremony had been per-
formed the bride and groom received
the congratulations and best wishes
Of the few friends who were present,
