While attending the street fair
at Jackson last week, in company
with several other young ladies and
gentlemen, Mr.. Ben. Futrell and
Miss Lille Cheshier took a sudden
notion to get married. According
ly the license and preacher were
secured and the ceremony performed
at Dukes Hotel, near the Union
Depot, in the presence of dozen
or more friends. This took place
Thursday afternoon, Oct. 3Oth. They
took the next train for Hickory Val
ley, their future home. The young
bride is the only remaining daughter
of Mrs. Maggie Cheshier, of Boli-
var, and is gifted with many lovely
graces and accomplishments. The
is a son of Mr.. A. E Futrell, of
Hickory Valley, handsome d in
telligent young man of industrious
habits. The young people had been
sweethearts almost from youth, and
were to wed at Christmas, anyway;
but the trip together to Jackson
terminated into romantic, happy
marriage.

CONSUMPTION or LIQUOR.

mr. r. Young Garrett, who is prominent
IN the .whiskey distilling business IN th's
country. says he has no doubt the pres
ent generation is as partial 70 "4'''N''
as any preceding one.
We differ with him, If by the Woro
wtiskev he means alcoholic liquors
generally. In our judgment the
consumption OF Intoxicating liquors
in Virginia, for instance, is much less
than formerly. The negroes, we thlhA'
drink more than they did In slavery
times, the whites much less upon inc
whole. we dare say that Virginia buys
less whiskcy, per capita, than 1t dlo III
tho good old a.1te-bellum days. In the
cities. with many, beer drinking has taken
the place OF whslley. And as tor prafioS'
once a favorite drink, comparatively Ut.
tie is now sold. Rum, which was H1uch
in vogue for long time before and quite
nrnoher of wears after the Revolution
airy era, we rarely hear OF no" III 'ii''
section of the country.
In the early years of the Revolution
our patriot fathers who were in the army
demanded and obtained very frequently
ration of rum. and drunkenness was
much too common. Severe punishments
were imposed in extreme cases.
In those days a court martial didn't
at all mind sentencing a private to re-
ceive thirty-nine lashes upon his bare
back. Later on Washington issued an
order prohibiting the distribution of
alcoholic liquors, except where and when
it was directed from headquarters. But
those orders were fairly numerous. They
were to be expected on holidays and upon
the receipt Of news Of American victories
and upon other gratifying occasions.
From all the accounts we have, the
people at home also liked liquor. and the
taste for it has by no means died out
if we may judge by what Mr.. Garrett
says, yet we challenge his suggestion
that Americans are as much OF liquor
drinking people as ever. We know ehat
Virginans-white Firgnians, at least

That this is rather under than over tne
actual state of population is shown IN

A further confirmation is obtained from

It is doubtful if games between two
teams ameliorate college courtesies in any
great degree. There is at present pre-
vailing atmosphere of suspicion, and col
leges are too often set at o>'s with one
another by game. This extends to the
graduates and sometimes even to the fac
ultes, and it is shocking to hear what one
university will say about another when
there is difference of opinion upon some
eligibility question The newspapers are
full of 1t. AS a matter of fact. one ath-
letic dispute can set two communities by
the ears SO that they remain unfriendly
for years. We see so many cases of it
that we may be pardoned some skepticism
on the promotion of inter- collegiate friend
ship by intercollegiate games. When stu
dents and officers of one institution point
the finger Of scorn at those Of another we
may usually be sure that 10th are wrong
and that their games should be suppressed
as common nuisances. We still have much
to learn, and the effort to study the sub
ject in conference of representatives from
all universities is a movement in the right
direction.

NOT A PLEASANT SHOWING,

The army linen washed in the annual
report Of Judse-Advocate-G G.
3. Davis, can hardly prove an inspiring
spectacle to the American people. The
lack of discipline in the army and the
consequences thereof are something de-
plorable. Here are some Of General
Davis's facts and figures: There were
7Go convictions for drunkenness on duty,
and AZ convictions for larceny. in addi-
ton to several hundred others involving
robbery or larceny or attempts to COM
nit them. Seventeen soldiers were con-
victed of criminal assault or attempted
criminal assault on women. nineteen OF
murder or manslaushter, and forty-six
of intent TO commit murder, 1oSl men
were punished for desertion. SAG for alb
serce without leave. and 263 for sleeping
on post. A new crime added to the cate
cory is "disrespect to the memory Of
President Mckinley" for which four men
are in JAIL Finally 2645 were dishonora-
bly, discharged. With much smaller
force in service during the year ending
June so, 1902, than in the twelve months
previous to June 80, 1901, there was a
decrease of only 154 in the number OF
trials, one out of every twenty men in the
service having been tried and convicted.
