END or THE STORY.
The same account tells that the
guests dispersed about midnight, and
those of the wedding party were up
to an early breakfast the next morn
ing, as Mr.. Mauldin, the minister,
was going to another wedding in
Grecnvillc District that evening.
After dinner the bride said coodby
to home and friends to go to her
new home, her father giving both
bride and groom gold watch.
They travelled in buggics and rode
eighteen miles the first afternoon
and spent the night with Mr.. Dcvc-
rcan Jarrett, at "Jarrctt's Bridge"
next day and night at Tallulah Falls,
next night at Nash's Hotel in Clarkes-
vile, next night at Choices Hotel in
Dahloncga, and the next (Sunday)
they reached Canton.
Now, we could wish them much
happiness in their new home and
abundant success if life was before
them, but the uncertain fortunes Of
the future arc turned into the profita-
bic lessons Of the past and the young
couple housekeeping dispense that
hospitality that is a part of re.
religion side by side, their interests
are one. The young lawyers prac-
ticc increases. The State Senator is
acknowledged a man among men at
%; the Judges crmnc is put aside
to take the chair OF State ut SO and
for four consecutive terms he is Gov
crnor of Georgia, and with that firm
belief in States rights he is an en-
thuslastlc scccssionist, for which he
never had any apology to make, and
after that dreadful fray, the memory
Of which we, the Daughters Of the
Confcdcracy, teach our children was
no shame, he bent every energy to
building up State and family pros
pcrlty. lie sits on the Supreme
Bench as Chief Justice, and then in
the American Senate, and for forty
years there was no history in Gcor-
gla without him. I'm all this the
BRIDE OF our fashioned wedding
was an advisor and help, both work
ing willingly with hands and brains
and walking in that lowly Christian
faith which has made their children
rise up and call them blcsscd.--
