Several Marietta young men
spent Sunday afternoon here
about two weeks ago; had good
time at the singing frolic" at
at the Methodist church and have
just learned that they ''cut out
all the Smyrna boys,'' and made
the startling discovery that sever
al of our fair young ladies are
warm members" What do you
think Of that, young people?
Quite small army organized
here last Friday to hunt rabbits.
They had all makes of guns, fif-
teen hounds and one or two bird
dogs. Before they passed the
Presbyterian church they Jumped
graveyard rabbit and every man
in the gang fired on the thorough
ly frightened animal. 1t is need
less to say only few hairs, an
ear and the little white tail was
all they found. The marshal
wore out pair of shoes making
cases against the violators of the
law for discharging firearms in the
city limits. Several councilmen
were in the bunch and our ex-
mayor with them. They were
tried and fined by His Honor,
Mayer Ruff. 1t was a trough"
way of doing sportsmen but the
marshaWh!nks Its an i'll wind
that blows nobody good"; the
town is richer, one rabbit less, and
the marshal is smoking nickle
cigars.
The posSHfice question is going
the rounds again.
Smyrna needs hotel badly and
some of our enterprising citizens,
who have land near by, should get

WILCOX AT
WASHINGTON
The Kind of Treatment He Nav
Expect in Con.
gress.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-The advent
of Robert Wilcox of Hawaii is awaited
with curiosity by Congressman. He is
now in New York and may wait some
time before appearing on the floor of
the house, as President Dole said he
would not issue the certificate of cleo
ton until the complete official returns
were in. The attitude of Congress
generally is quite different from that
of the people of Honolulu. They will
treat Wilcox with outward respect and
give him full hearing. He is regard
ed as rightfully representing the ma
jority of the people Of the Islands, not.
withstanding the fact that he is avow-
|edly opposed to Republican institu.
tions. The members of the House ap.
pear to regard the whole affair as a
good joke on the white politicians Of
the Islands, and will take occasion tt
rub it in by treating Wilcox with
consideration. Wilcox, however, will
have no real influence.

bring the message of redemption. And
we came. my friends, to bring the
blessed message to the white men who
were then here; we hoped to do great
work among them. but we found them
very few and very unresponsive. We
labored hard among them until our

Erroneous Reports.

We are informed that reports are
going over the county, to the effect
that there was a recount of the
Democratic vote of the primary,
and Hon. J. A. Walker counted in as
the nominee for Representative;
also that contest was yet to be
made. Both of these reports are
absolutely without foundation and
incorrect, as it is now too late for a
contest, and there has been no re-
count of the votes. Our friends and
subscribers can rely upon it that
this paper will give them the news
if there had been anything in the
way of a contest, etc, we would
have told them about it. I'm
mediately after the primary the e
was some talk of a contest for Rep

Quite a crowd of the friends of
the family and groom were present
to witness the ceremony.
A large table, in the double par

groom showed they had many
staunch friends.
After the ceremony, the guests
we're invited to paUtake of a nice
supper (which was placed on several
tables on the lawn at the end of the
house. Dozens of Chinese lanters
strung about the place, with the
light of the1 bright silver moon,
furnished light for the tables.
The guests did ample justice to
the nice things set before them.
The groom with his bonnie bride
will go to housekeeping in the
groom's house, at No, 9O1 Maple

home to their friends.
We offer our best wishes to the
couple for their future happiness,
