Mr.. Alfred Holman refunded from
Chicago. last Monday where he pur-
chased an up-to-date laundry outfit for
this city. Messrs. Holman and
Fletcher have for some time been look
ing into the laundry business here, and
from the above purchase we presume
that they have found that it will be q
paying investment. In conversation
with Mr.. Holman we were informed
that the new laundry, which will be
known as the Queen City Steam Laun-
dry, will be in operation by November
lst. An experienced man will be in
charge and only fi'st-class work will be
turned out, equal to the work of Bir-
mingham, Memphis, or any large city.
These enterprising gentlemen will
make strong effort to hold here all
the laundry business of the city. and
knock out outside competition. We
wish them abundant success.
While u number OF county school
teachers were being examined at the
court house last Saturday, they were
witnesses to quite an unusual occur
ence in the way Of a GretnaGreen at
fair. A couple, hailing from Lonake,
Ark. presented themselves before
Clerk Gildart, requesting marriage
license, giving their names as w. j..
Marsh and Miss May Watts. Mr.. s.
Archer, who assisted Superintendent
Grady in the examination. tied the
knot, making them the happiest peo'
pie in the city on that day. We learn
that the couple rode seventy-ive miles
down the river in skiff to this city
TO escape the opposition of the young
lady's parents. True love dares every
opposition, and we trust that the parents
NAV remember their 'courtshlp days,
and freely forgive them and give them
their blessings.
