gotiatIons among the powers eonksrned
respecting the passage Of the par
danelIes BY the Russia Black sea feet
are declared, BY the Paris eotrespcnd-
ent Of the Times, to be Iufounled. The
disturbance Of the equilibrium which it
might and probably would entail the
dispatch continues. can hardly be d
matter OF indifference to other powers
besides England. There Is not d par
ticle Of evidence to Justify the suppo-
sition that the sympathy OF the French
for their Russian allies In any way has
affected the Anglo French entente cor
dale. The relations between the two
countries are satisfactory al before the
outbreak Of the war. concludes the cor
respondent on this channel It un-

that neither France nor England be-

At about high.noon on Tuesday, June
Dist, at the handsome home of the
brides parents IN Scooos, the Rev. j.
G. Caruthers, OF Grenada, officiating,
Mr.. Samuel r.. Waite, of Meridian, was
married to Miss Rachel Dake. 1t was a
quiet home wedding, none but the inn
mediate family of the bride, the ofici-
ating clergyman and Mr.. Marvin Or
mond, nephew and most intimate friend
OF the groom, being present. After the
ceremony a light repast was served, and
the wedding perry drove 10 the depot,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Watts took The
south. bound train for New Orleans, and
after a few days will go TO Biloxi to
spend the summer. Qlite an ovation
was rendered the young couple at the
depot by their many friends.
the bride ia the eldest daughter Of
Col. and Mrs. James II. Duke, and wse
born and grew to womanhood among
our people. We believe we eau say,
without fear OF contradiction, that she
is the most popular young lady in the
community. AS a member of the
church, a teacher in the Sabbath school,
as leader and controlling epirit in the
Society OF Christian Endeavor, she has
exerred al influence for good which has
been felt and appreciated by all. Pos
sessed of abundant means, she also pos,
sesses that truepride which knows no
distinctions a V those OF right and
wrong. A faithful and obedient daugh-
ter, a true and loving friend, a noble,
Christian woman, the nan who has
won her for his life's companion Is in
deed thrice. blessed.
The groom, Mr.. Samuel T. Watts, was
also born in Scooba, passed much of his
youth here, and is we'll and favorably
known to our people. Al present he is
the travelling representative Of the
Meridian Fertilizer Co., and possesses
business qualifications that are exctp-
tional. He is an affable, heightened
gentleman, a fitting mate for the sweet
woman now his vile, and The HERALD
man extends his congratulations ard
hopes that Dame Fortune will ever look
with a kindly eye to the welfare of this
! happy couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watts were the recipi-
ents OF many valuable and useful eifte,
emblems of the kindly remembrance Of
loving and admiring friends.
