Some Good Stories.

WYOMING people peruse the daily con-
gressional dispatches from Washington
with the full conviction that their rep
resentatives at the Nations capital
''size up" well with those of any other
state in the Union. Hardly a day passes
that the names OF Senator Warren, or
Congressman Mundell do not figure as
leaders in the fray, and always with
honor and distinction. In fact we are
wont to think hat we, of Wyoming, are
a little better served than the people Of
any other state. The great beauty OF
the situation is, that these men repre-
sent the entire state, and are not the
tools or servants of any particular party
or faction Of people, and there ia another
thing which is most satisfying, and that
is, these men represent broad, progress
siyo principles, liberal ideas and reform
movements that comprehend the good
of the whole people and especially OF the
West, the huulc of their adoption and
the field Of their labor. Some OF the
narrow. minded, pin.headed statesmen ~
OF the Eastern states break lances with
these Western giants almost daily, aud
the political field is strewn with broken
reeds aud discarded notions OF this
country, which have been the common
heritage and general conceptions OF the
etTete east as regards the wild and
wooly West Verify the world moves
and the battle Of Armageddon goes
bravely on, and we are all proud OF the
mart that our statesmen have in it.

BRANTLEY AND HIS BRIDE.
Many kilograms Sent the Congress
sionnI Benedict.

Brunswick, Ga, Jan. S.-Many kilograms
of congratulation have been waited over
the wires to-day to Birmingham, adj
dressed to Hon. W. G. Brantley and his
attractive bride, formerly Miss Linn, of
that city. In this marriage the sister
states have been united more closely than
ever before for the contracting parties
to this most interesting ceremony are
from the families of people prominent in
both the early AMI latter day history of
Georgia and Alabama.
Miss Linn, the bride. Is one of
Birminghams most charming young la
dies, and her friends are legion, ali low
ing her for those many gracious qualities
which so well become lovely young wo-
manhood. For Congressman Brantley, too
much cannot be said in praise. He is one
of the most gracious men in the public
service and has a firm hold on the esteem
and best wishes of thousands of his con-
stituents in this, the Eleventh District,
as well as countless numbers, not only in
this. but in other states.
Brunswickians will welcome the dis
tinguished representative and his bride,
and it Is with regret that the fact is noted
that some weeks will elapse before they
can come to this, their future home, Con-
gresham Brantley's duties OBTAINING him
at the National Capitol for some weeks.
However, their Homecoming will be none
the less welcome and sincere, for it does
the people here good TO see Congressman
Brantley at any time, and especially now
that he will be accompanied by his lovely
VOung bride

Beaufort, s. c., Jan. S.-The remains of
Capt. Ransom Ward were disinterred
from their original resting place in the
burying ground adjoining St Helena's
Episcopal Church here yesterday after
noon, and removed TO the National Mill
tary Cemetery on the outskirts of the
city.
Capt Ward was an officer in the Fed
eral army, and was attached to the Forty
fifth Infantry of the volunteer establish
ment during the Civil War. Subsequently
he settled on st. Helena Island, where he
engaged in business as a cotton factor and
also conducted a general merchandising
establishment up TO the time of his death
some two years ago.
An unfortunate mishap occurred in con-
nection with the removal of the dead SOL
dier's remains. After they were disin-
TERED by several negroes employed for
that purpose, and when the coffin had
been raised 10 the surface and was being.
removed from its outer case. 1t was
broken through careless handling and the
body fell out on the ground. The incident
frightened the superstitious darxies out of
their wits. and they ran off, leaving the
body on the ground. A new casket was
obtained with as little delay as possible
and the remains were then transferred to
their final resting place.
