YOUNG BRIDES SAD DUTY.
At Her Sister-in-Law's Bedside
watching for Death.


Rome Ga, July 12.-Late yesterday aft
ernoon Mrs. Julia Lowery met with
very serious accident, which will proba-
bly, prove fatal.
She was returning from a visit to her
brother and was driving a mule hitched
to a buggy. Just before reaching a long
and steep hill, the animal became fright
ened and commenced running, and before
he could be checked the hill was reached,
and the maddened mule dashed down at
furious rate, throwing her out with ter
rifle force, breaking both limbs and injur-
ing her internally.
Mr. T. ]. Butncy, a brother of Mrs.
Lowery, was to have been married to Miss
Lizzie Wright this morning at o'clock,
but, on account of the accident, they
thought it advisable to be married earlier
than the appointed hour, and at 100
o'clock this morning the wedding took
place in st. Peters Church, with only
Mr. J. w. Young proprietor of the Arm
strong, and two young children of Rector
C. 3. Hudgins as witnesses to the strange
and sad marriage.
Immediately after the ceremony the
young couple drove to the country, and
the bride took her place by the side of
her mortally injured sister-in-law.

A GOOD YEAR FOR HAY.
Farmers Anticipate a big Crop and
High Prices.

Farmers Anticipate a big Crop and
High Prices.
The farmers around Savannah antci-
pate that this season will be one of the
most successful and profitable for the
haying industry that has been known here
in many years, and, in consequence, are
making elaborate preparations to harvest
their crops on a large scale.
In the first place, the recent rains have
been favorable TO the production of hay
and the fields that have been prepared
for its growth show already a bountiful
crop. The grass springs up spontaneously
after the land has been cleared of other
crops, and under favorable conditions is
very thick and very high. When prop
erly harvested and cured it makes as good
hay as can be reasonably wished, and
sells in the local market at a good price
This price is usually from so to 60 cents
per hundred pounds, about 20 cents less
than is obtained for timothy hay brought
to Savannah from the Northern and West
ern farms. Ii is said that this year the
timothy is scarce, and in consequence
high, and that for this reason country
hay will bring a larger price and be in
greater demand than is ordinarily the
case.
Although some portion OF the crop is
baled, most of it is sold loose and brought
directly from the barn, where it is stored
to the stable of the consumer In this
shape it is rather hard 10 handle i'm any
large quantity aud therefore when baIed
brings a better price. The additional price
for baled hay Of the country variety
scarce compensates the farmer for the
additional labor expense and trouble. and
he is accustomed, therefore. to foreeo
this prospective advantage.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
