Montgomery and NIachen Dots.


A representative of the Chronicle
spent last Sunday in Montgomery
and Machen, and while there discOv-
cred a few local items which are given
below.
Mr.. o. P. Harrison, and Miss
Angie Fortson were married at Verda
on Sunday, May "a, 1908, by Rev.
Michael. The marriage was Gret-
ma Green affair, and but few knew it
was to take place as soon as it did.
Mr.. Harrison went to Colfax last
Saturday night and procured his
license, returning home Sunday
morning. That evening he and his
bride-to-be drove to Verda, where
they were pronunced man and wife
by the minister. Mr.. Harrison is a
son OF Mr.. w. o. Harrison, promi-
nent business man of Montgomery,
and his bride is the daughter of Mr..
B. A. Fortson, also prominent in
business affairs at that place. The
Chronicle joins the many friends of
the couple in wishing them well in
their voyage on the matrimonial
sea.
Misses Effie and Myrtle Harrison
returned from Meridian, Miss. on
Saturday, May 23rd, where Miss
Myrtle has been attending the Merid-
ian Female College.
Mrs. Geo. L. Ethridge, who has
been very sick with slow fever for the
past thirteen weeks, is improving.
Mr.. Ethridge took her over to her
fathers, Mr.. Balance, in order to
have absolute quite, and we were
glad to learn from him that she was
clear of fever, and hope that she has
continued to improve.
Quite a crowd OF young folks gath
cred at the home of MIR. and Mrs.
Jno. 1. Mccain, Saturday night, May
23rd, to attend a sociable and musi-
cal of an impromptu nature. All
had very pleasant time, and ex-
press themselves as wishing to have
another soon.
Messrs. Ethridge and Wardlow
have the lumber on their lot in Ma
chen, and expect to begin the erec-
tion of a large store Immediately.
During the closing exercises of the
verda school, the young folks organ
lied a party and took several hay
rides to Verda to attend the exer-
cises.
The Methodist Sunday School ie
preparing to celebrate Childrens Day
next Sunday, June 7th. The chill.
dren, under the direction of Miss An.
ME Roberts, have prepared an in
teresting programme for the occa-
sion, and are looking forward to the
occasion with glad hearts.
Rumor has it that wedding bells
will ring out soon and that promi-
nent business man will be greatly in.
terested in their ringing.

The news has Just reached here from
Australia OF d recent prizefght that took
place al Sidney between Jimmy Seaman
of Pittsburg and colored boxer, who
travels under the cognomen OF Peter
Felix. Seaman was a hot fayoite but the
colored man proved to be his master,
When defeat stared him in the face, the
Plttsburg scrapper resorted u tactics
more foul than those used by Chicago
Jack" DAILY against jerry Mccarthy here
few months ago.
There was crowded house on this oc.
casion, more particularly among Sean
lan's friends and supporters, so they
rolled up to a man, but the str6ngest
part Of the whole affair was a report that
Jim had the "softest thing on during
the whole OF his boxing career. and that
he was going to make short work of the
dafkey. so sanguine were seaman 5
friends that even after the first round
they offered TO lay to | on, In spite Of
the better Of the first round, and failed
in a most decided manner to hold .he
boosted reputation made about him by
his friends. In the second round Felix
fought as an artist from the sound of the
gong and scored with left hooks and Iabs
IN the face and solar pleXus Just before
the round closed Peter swung a terrific
right which landed fair and square on the
listener" making Jim rock in his tracks
Seaman says he tried to score one when
breaking away, while Felix always tried
TO break clean away Seaman was the
recipient OF much hooting on account OF
these tactics,
Felix continued aggressive. and piled
on points upto the fifteenth round, which
proved TO be the last. Seaman was des-
perate and a piuful sight, and evidently
foresaw that his only chance was a
knockout. He rushed Felix, who how
ever, stood on the scratch. and some hard
hand-to hand fighting took place. Then
Felix scored heavily on the head with his
right and shot out another unerring left
on the throat
Seaman grabbed him and hung on for
grim death. Felix tried to break away
but Seaman pushed him on the ropes
There were many outcrles against Sean
