Love Triumphed at Last.

Last Tuesday evening at 1880
o'clock at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. P. Jones in this city Mr. j..
W. Blount and Miss Daisy Weekly
both of Ulmer, were united in mar.
riage. Rev. 7. G. O'Dell performing
the ceremony.
Many friends of the couple in this
city were present, and a dainty sup
per was spread after the marriage
rites were concluded.
This was rather a romantic mar
riage, and is an exemplification of
the old adge that Glove will find a
way" These two young people had
entertained matrimonial intentions
for some time past, but the stern
parents offered objection, and would
not be wooed into agreeing that the
marriage should take place. The
Young pair kept quiet, biding their
time. Last week Miss Weekly came
to Bamberg on a visit to Mrs. W. r
Jones, and the wedding was quietly
arranged for. Monday afternoon
Mr.. Blount and several of his friends
came in on the 5 80 train, and the
desire of their hearts was consumma
ted the same evening. They left
Wednesday morning for a brlda
tour to Atlanta and other points.
The bride is the daughter of DIR
Weekly, of Ulmer, and the groom il il
depot agent at the same place. Thell
many friends extend cougratulation'
and best wishes.

doctor in, he left word for him to come al

which he hoped would give some reliel
until the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor neet
not come. as the child was much better

THE MYSTERY OF A CHECK.
Postal People at Work"An Endorse
ment Thereon Pronounced Il For,

gerry.
The postotfice department at Augusta
is engaged in unraveling the mystery OF
a check. and apparent violation OF the
postal laws. Mixed up in the case IS, too
a charge of forgery, against whom 1t Is
not known.
On February Sth Wrens 4 Philips, OF
Wrens, Ga, mailed to Augusta, directed
to G. W. Wilkinson, at Augusta, ga,
check drawn on the Louisville BANK OF
Georgia for SELLS. Capt. wilkinson dld
not receive the check from the mail. Ht
declares that he never endorsed 1t. His
name is written across the back OF 1t.
The check has been deposited with al
Augusta bank for collection. 1t shows
the name of Capt. Wilkinson, as stated
in endorsement 1t is also endorsed by
the Messrs. Pettijohn, of the Commercial
Hotel. 1t was deposited by that firm Will
the bank for collection.
The Messrs. Pettijohn state that they
took the check at its face value from MIR
G. W. Williams, guest who has been al
their house for some time. Mr.. Williams
makes the statement that he received tho
check few days ago at Denmark, >: C
from gentleman named Lyons MIR. Will
liams gives the full name of this gentle
man) whom he knew and who was on his
way to Florida, and who needed money
1t seemed that party owed him an ac.
count that he had forgotten about, and
Mr.. Williams in taking the check gave
Mr.. LYONS $40, with the understanding
the s11 25 was to 90 to the credit of the
old account.
Mr.. Williams did not endorse the check,
but stated to the authorities that he would
have had no hesitancy i'll the world OF
doing so, prior to it's being cashed, had 1t
been suggested to him at the time.
The postottice authorities are intent on
ascertaining how the check got into Mr.
Lvons's hands. 1t had been mailed from
Wrens to Augusta, and, it is believed, IN
a letter bearing on the envelope the Wrens
& Philips firm name, and the return dlrec-.
ton characteristic of all of the mail OF
the firm. 1t is the belief of the postal
people that the letter was delivered at the
general delivery window at the postofhce'
In that Capt. Wilkinson did not receive
the check, the postal authorities are en-
deavoring to run the matter down.
The above clipping is from the Augusta
Herald of last Saturday, and it would ap-
pear from this that Mr.. Gilbert ". NJ
Williams is in danger of getting into Sc
rious trouble again. Verify, it seems that
Georgia is an unlucky State for Mr.. Will
liams, as his disbarment resulted from his
actions over there. We shall watch the
outcome of this matter with interest, as
Uncle Sam is bad fellow to monkey
with.
