The course OF true love never runs
smoothly reads the old axiom, but it
takes more than parental objection to
blockade the pathway.
In the little neighboring village of
Wheatley did dwell gallant youth and
maiden fair with 1.-TWO souls with hut a
single thought. For time they loved
within themselves, until there arose a bar
rer between them-objection OH the part
Of the maiden's father was made to his
further attentions. This did not weaken
the love that burned within them. On
the contrary it strengthened 1t. and mat
tiers reached a crisis Sunday night when
there was an elopement. The couple left
Wheetley on horseback. at IL O'Clock
Sunday night, accompanied by two gen.
tlemen friends. and at eight O'Clock Mon
day morning the county court clerk at
Forrest City issued license to Walter
Swain and Miss Florence oxford, to be-
come husband and wife.
The bridal party stopped at the Nicely
House ON their arrival, AID the nervous
ness OF the groom was amusing to see.
His two friends started out to take in the
town, and on his return from a search for
them, some one told him his intended
bride had been spirited away, The dis.
consulate look which oyerspread face,
and the wild search for the fair was
pitiable to behold. With the aid OF par
ties who had been along that line y mat.
tiers were soon settled, and accompanied
bV quite crowd of spectators and SYM
pathisers, the couple were escorted to the
parsonage OF the Methodist church, where
the twain were united in the holy bonds
of wedlock by the Rev. w. G. Davidson.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs, Swain left ON horseback for
Wheetley, twenty-five miles distance,
where they will plead for and no doubt
receive forgivness and blessing from their
irate =" daddy, and as they 20 down the
stream of time, may all the well wishes of
the witnesses to their marriage be fulfilled.

To the Hon H.. y Hutton, Judge. pTesi-
ding We. the Ezand jury. would re-
specifuiIy submit the following report /:
We have been in session si~ days dur
ing which time we have Investigated all
violations OF the law to which our 1tten-
iiDn has been called TO the best Ok our
ability. In the performance Of this duty
we have examined forty-two witnesses
from whose evidence We have returned
twenty-foaF indictments: six Of which
we're for felOnies and eighteen were fer
misdemsanoTs.
A committee from our body visited tie
poor hose. and found six inmates there.
b-iBg supported BY the county, three Of
whom were females. and three were males.
They also reported that these poor people
received ali necessary care and attention,
and were well provided for.
drug stores and found that they kept a
record Of the poisops sold up to the time
the Law requiring the same was repealed.
Our entire body visited the Jail and
found four prisoners confined therein.
They said they were well-fed and they
seemed to be as well situated as unfortu-
mates Of this class could be expected TO be
with the exception OF their beds. we think
their might be some improvement made in
this respect.
The magistrates and road oyerseers OF
the county have made their reports as re-
quired by law.
Taking the report of the commissioners
who have made far more thorough
and systematic examination into the af-
fairs OF the county than we could possibly
make In the limited time at our command.
we find that the affairs OF the county have
been managed in systematic and bus-
ness-like manner. and that all officers
whose duty it was to collect public money,
have made proper returns of the same.
We are glad to see that under the thor
ough business management Of the affairs
OF the county by our honorable county
judge, the financial condition of our coun-
~ has made decided Improvement.
Before concluding our labors we desire
to thank your honor for the courtesy
shown Us at all times. We would also
extend our thanks to the Honorable X. X.
Macon for the prompt and willing manner
N which he has at all times responded to
all calls made upon him by us. and rem
Tered US all the assistance that he could

a little box of small dimensions, be-
ing not over two feet long and one foot
square. was in the baggage room at the
Maine Central station, Wednesday
morning. Major Newcomb asked
friend to carry it out TO the door as he
owned the box and was lame. The
friend kindly undertook to carry out
the seemingly easy task when he was
brought to a standstill upon attempt
ing to lift the box. Ii contained u" y
Confederate cannon balls fired during
the Civil War in 1862 from a battery
near Savannah at federal gunboat
that was attempting to go up the river.
These shot had lain all these years
when a storm last fall laid them bare
of the earth into which they had buried
themselves The very man who bad
fired the shots went with Major New
comb and Major Harrison. a son of eX-
President Harrison and secured four
shot. two for each of rhe two ma iors.
The box went to Cuba with Major
Newcomb ana later came home with
him.
