+ Sunday was an eyentful day in
our little city, made 50 by the
handsome and splendidy ordered
marriage ceremony of Miss Sallie
Summers and Mr.. P. M. Franklin.
The marriage was solemnized at
the Methodist church, and was
conducted by Rev. A. Lester, the
regular pastor, in a beautiful and
impressive manner. The bridal
party, consisting Of the bride and
groom, Mr.. Chas. R. Crowell as
best man, Miss L. Blanche Smith
and Miss Ludie Lindley, brides
maids, Messrs. Oscar Lindley and
G. M. Hardage, groomsmen, en-
tered the church at 10 a. m.
Miss Blanche Lindley presiding
at the organ, played beautiful
strains from the wedding march
and other grand selections. The
altar was tastefully decorated with
potted plants whose beautiful, fra
grant blossoms added abundant
charm to the occasion. Miss
Summers is the only daughter of
Mr.. A. Summers, one of our much
respected townsmen. Mr.. Frank
lin is a very bright and progress
sive young farmer, who resides at
Piedmont, Ga., near GAINESVILLE.
We add our congratulations to
scores of others for this happy al
lance, both these young people
possessing in eminent degree those
noble qualities # mind and heart
that bespeak for them happy,
prosperous and useful life.
Rev. A. Lester preached a grand
sermon Easter morning. His
theme was based on Paul's visit to
Athens, where he saw the inscrip-
ton, ITO the unknown God,'
saying to the Athenians, "Whom
you ignorantly worship come / to
declare unto you" Bro. Lester
handled his subject mastery and
with gOod erect.
Our farmers feel rather sad and
downhearted, being SO far behind
with preparations for a crop. ]
feel like saying to those noble, IN
dustrious men, ''Be still, fond
heart, and cease repining, behind
each cloud is silver lining" to
trust in God and look ahead a
little, for what they conceive to be
a misfortune will prove in all
probability a great blessing in an
abundant crop as the result of SO
much rain.
No serious sickness among our
people. x. RAYS.

i Died.-Last Wednesday night
week, half past ten o'clock, the
immortal spirit of Mrs. Rebecca
A. Moore, relict of late Capt. J.
C. Moore, winged its flight unto
the blissful regions above. Mrs.
Moore was the next oldest inhabi-
tant of Smyrna, having resided
here continuously for the past %
years. She was 68 years old; a
devoted mother and a kind friend
to all. She was a strict member
of the Presbyterian church, being
one of the original organizers of
that church at this place. She
was laid to rest beside her hus-
band, in the quiet little church
yard at this place. She leaves
four sons, three daughters and a
large circle of friends to mourn
her loss. We tender to those in
bereavement, the sincere sympa-
thies Of this whole community and
bid them look above, to the SUI
preme Architect of the Universe,
for grace and strength to bear
meekly, patiently the heavy blow
which has fallen upon them, re-
membering that "The Lord gave
and the Lord ,taketh away. Bless
ed be the name of the Lord"

WHENCE PROSPERITY

Suppose there have been the most
wonderful and prolific crops in this
country last year and this, or ever
since the decentralization OF silver in
1873? Did the Republican party, or ita
principles. or policies, have the slight
est effect In producing those crops? Did
the decentralization of silver have that
effect? If so. how? Suppose that Of re-
cent years, or ever since 1878. there
have been great discoveries of gold In
South Africa, Alaska and elsewhere
did the Republican party, or Its princi-
pies, Or policies. or the act of 1878 dis
cover this gold. or cause 1t to be dis
covered, or the new processes of sep
aratinS gold from its ores? Were not
explorers, prospectors and inventors
just as active before 1873, as after?
Suppose the droughts in Europe and IN
South America, the famine and plague
in India. our war with Spain. and other
causes, made n great demand upon us
for our wheat and other food products,
for men and labor. &c. were these
things in anywise attributable to the
decentralization of silver. or to the Re-
publican party, or even to this admin
istration? Would they not have nap
pened all the same under the Demo
cratic party?
, Suppose. further. that all these
things. especially the crops and gold
discoveries, had resulted in great de-
mand for labor. and an extraordinary
sale OF all our productions abroad.

ANTI-AMERICAN INCONSISTENCY

In discussing South African affairs
and the alleged American feeling in
favor of British aggression, the Wash
ington Post well says:
The Beers to-day have more right
to resist the aggression of England
than the colonies in this country had
in 177G. Our forefathers were nj least
EnGllshmcn. and subjects of England.
The Beers are not, and never have
been. They are merely England's vic
tins. They have resented n more i'm
pudent and intolcrable cruelty than
the patriots of the revolution did. If
they be wrong, our ancestors were
wrong. England had built up the
colonies In America. The Beers dis
covered and have civilized their own
territory.
That IS admirably put; yet 1t is
very astonishing that an able journal
that can think and feel so Justly and
express itself SO we'll and strongly for
one people struggling for liberty and
independence, can so Inconsistency
ton in war of cruel subjugation
upon the Filipinos. II they (the Fill
pinos) ''bc wrong. our ancestors were
wrong" The Beers are wrong; and
England. like Mckinley. should be sup
ported as right. But on the same
principles, our ancestors were right.
the Beers are right. and the Filipinos
must be no less right; while both Nc
kinley and England are in the wrong
most atr0Cf0Usly, from me same base
motives.
Our country: may she always be
right; but right or wrong. our coun-
try!" said Decatur: and while en-
deavoring 10 put and keep her right,
in line with American principles, doe
trincs, policy and traditions. we are
ready to fight for her against England
and all the nations of the earth that
attack her, or the liberty She is the
true guardian OF.

THAT WATER coNTRAcT-wHY7

When the Councils were requested
to espend the enormous sum of SYST, 900,
in addition to what it had already
spent In more water" il we are not
badly mistaken, and we refer to the
report, 1t was given out as q reason
for this new and tremendous burden
that the additional supply would sat
isfy the demands of 10000 people
morei
Where did our august officials think
this additional 10000 people would
live, in the the present congested
limits or in the rapidly growing
suburbs?
AS matter Of fact, by referring to
the literature Of the time, this very
point and fact was emphasized. Why,
now then, is 1t bad policy to run the
pipe lines to the Park? Why not put
the city In possession Of that much
territory? What is the policy of allow
ing n private concern to build up and
own the very territory that Norfolk
must In few years own? Is it the
first step of n nice political contract
looking towards the private ownership
OF the city's water works? Is 1t wished
that Norfolk shall encourage at her
doors a private concern that will
drive her out of business, and more,
to actually pay towards that con-
Germs support?
And while we are on the subject
OF water, the thought occurs that this
private concern is more fortunate with
drive wells" and gang" wells than
the city. This private concern So
licts the business of stores and resi-
dcnces and seems to have enough
water to furnish the city a little.
Wonder If the private concern would
lend It's expert to the city, IL he could
do rs well for the city in finding
water" This thought comes stumb-
ling inso our mind, out OF the mist of
thousands of dollars spent upon gang
wells, &C."
