bound together the hearts and lives of

WE'D DING BELLS.


Mr.. Thomas Cunningham and Miss
Emma Pickens were united in marriage
at the Christian church Wednesday after
noon at 5 o'clock, Elders j. p. Slayden
and r. j. Meacham officiating. Long
before the appointed hour the expectant
friends of the contracting parties had
filled the church to overlooking. The
audience was seated by the following
ushers: Messrs. f. II. Hatcher, IL. p.
Figuers, Geo. w. Methods, w. II. VIII
son, Ashby Wilkins, w. p. Salmon, w.
p. N oldridge and j p. Street
When the strains of the wedding
march responded to the touch of Miss
Camille Herndon, the bride and groom
entered and advanced to the altar down
different aisles, each being preceded by
four ushers. The groom was accompa-
MED by his best man, Mr.. Conner Eas
ley, and the bride by her maid of honor
Miss Julia Tyree of Gallatin, Tenn.
The bride was attired in an elegant
blue cloth travelling dress with hat to
match the effect being most pleasing.
/ The groom wore a black cut-away of
conventional style.
Arrived at the altar the ushers and
attendants grouped themselves on either
side of the altar, while the principals in
the interesting drama faced the minis
tiers. Elder Slayden, in few solemn
and impressive words, pronounced the
ceremony that made them man and
wife, and Elder lleachem followed with
a beautiful benediction upon the union.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and groom, accompanied by their
friends, were driven to the depot, where
they took the north bound evening
train for a short bridal tour.
Miss Pickens is the daughter of Major
Thomas Pickens, and has for q number
of years made her home with her sister,
Mrs. E. Yoest. She has for several
years been at the head of one depart
ment of the Bell Telephone Exchange

with such tact and ability, and borne
herself with such womanly dignity, as
to win the admiration of the entire
public. She is a woman Of extraordi

Owing to the exceeding inclement
weather yesterday, the pastor re-
quested DR.. Mitchell to defer delivering
his special message to the ladies until
this morning at 10 o'clock. De-
spite the hard rain and muddy walks, a
goodiy number were in the morn
ing's service, and last nights was,
in practical results, perhaps the
most satisfactory of any evening
service. A number proposed to con-
secrate their lives in Christian life
for the first time 1t is hoped that
those who have so kindly co-operated in
the services, will continue their much
appreciated help that the closing days
of the series may be equally productive
of good as the past have been. DR..
Mitchell will close his labors with the
congregation with the service on next
Sunday night.

Manager w. T. Naff left Columbia
for Birmingham this morning. He did
so on the advice of friends, to a!lay eX-
citement and prevent any further
trouble
The trouble grows out of an alleged
insult to Miss Bessie Scott, daughter OF
Mr.. Leroy Scott, a young lady of eX-
celent character, who was not regularly
employed in the Cumberland telephone
Office, but was staying there a few hours
each day learning TO be an operator
Going home yesterday afternoon Miss
Scott complained to her father, in a very
nervous and distressed manner, that on
starting to leave the Office she was met
by Mr.. Natf in the cloak room, who
caught her and kissed her and was in
sulting in his department. towards her.
The father became greatly enraged and
threatened to kill the man who had in
suited his daughter; and quite a num-
Der of his friends, hearing Of the trouble
went to him in sympathy and with prof
fered help.
Madam Rumor, as the Madam is wont
to do, of course exaggerated what the
young lady had said, and quite an I'M
dercurrent of excitement and feeling was
engendered; in view of which Mr.Naff was
waited upon by three gentlemen friends
of Mr.. Scott, and told that for his own
interest, for the interest of Mr.. Scott aid
for the peace of the community, they
advised him to leave town at once.
Mr.. Naff protested that he had of
fered no indignity to the young lady,
that he was not guilty of any offensive
conduct whatever, that his wife and
children and property were here and
that he would die here.
Later on, however, he was advised
differently by some of his friends; and
going to the depot in company with sew.
eral of them, he took the south bound
train for Birmingham. His friends
claim that nothing transpired between
the young lady and Mr.. Naff, except
perhaps little jocular familiarity, by
which he meant no harm, and that
when the excitement abates he will re
turn

Last Thursday about twenty of
our people attended the Downs ami
versary celebration. The party was
gratifed to notice on the way down
| that the prospect for corn could not
be better except between Gaylord and
Ports where hot winds have burned
up the crop so that no corn will be
raised in that section. Arriving at
Downs the party found the city in
gala attire. flags and arches every
where. The most excellent bands
were on the grounds from Stockton,
Olivia and Downs. The committee
in charge had made generous pro-
visions for the entertainment for the
big crowds in attendance. Some
thirty-three gambling devices were
spread out on the main street and
bait set for the unwary sucker, who
| imagined he could beat the gambler
at his own game. Just what city
gains by allowing such rank skin
games to be played has not as yet
been figured out. Many man who
let his curiosity get away with him
found that the very pleasant gentle
man who paid half dollar and gave
to i'm his chance to WIN was only q
"capper' for the game. The town
gains nothing by allowing these traps
to be set. The Kirwln ball club went
down to play game with club from
Cawker City, but when the clubs were
lined up the Cawker City clubs was
found to be made up of two players
from Cawker City, three from Atch-
ison. three from Lebanon and one
from Smith Center. The Kirwin boys
very pluckily went into the game.
Vogle with lame arm was in the
box. In the first four innings the
combination scored SIX runs, when
Vogle gave way to Ora Cochran.
When the combine faced a pitcher
of it's own class it put up sorry ex-
hibitlon of ball playing and went
down in the one, two, three order. In
the eighth inning scratch hit and a
wild throw gave them two more
scores. Kirwin put two men over
the plate. Although defeated the
Kirwin boys had the crowd with
them, and all honest sportsmen con-
demned the tactics of the CawkerItes,
and do not feel very kindly toward
Downs for allowing such rank steal.
ing or the purse. Inc OoWns cele-
bration could be improved by shut
ting out the thugs and thieves who
are are allowed to rob honest men.
Most of the church organizations in
this section have condemned the plans
followed, but it was noticed that every
church organization IN Downs took
advantage of the day and served
meals to the crowd in attendance.
