Mr.. George B. Lilly and Mrs. Matte
Lowther were married under peculiar
circumstances in Jackson last Satur-
day which goes to show how true may be
the old saying that "there is often
slip 'twixt the cup and the lip" Mr..
Lilly in getting out of the buggy in
which he had driven to the residence
of Mr.. Walter Hendricks, where the
ceremony was to be performed, in
some way caused a shotgun which was
lying on the seat of the buggy to be
discharged, the load of No. shot
striking him on the side and shoulder
His wounds were pronounced serious
After consultation he and his expect
ant bride decided to have the i'm
portant ceremony performed, regard
less of the untoward accident, and the
knot was tied as the groom lay upon
his bed.

Times Democrats September Cotton Re-
port From BrOokhaven.
Special to The Times Democrat.
BRooKHAvEN, Sept. 30.-The wet
weather the early part Of the month
and the unseasonably cold weather
from the 18th to the Goth caused fall
ing off in the cotton prospect Of from
12 to Is per cent, compared with the
outlook the last of August. A. light
frost on the 18th completely checked
the growth Of the plant and caused it
to shed it's leaves and young bolls.
Farmers from the cotton fields say
there is no top crop worth considering.
Picking is progressing favorably, but
there is a scarcity of pickers, and as
the cotton is opening very fast most
farmers are behind with their picking
There is disposition on the part of
both farmers and local merchants to
market the crop as fast as ready
