A lecture entitled Poetry II d
Politics was delivered at the School
building Auditorium last Saturday
night by David Holt, night editor Of
the Mobile Daily Register and erst-
while editor-in chief OF the Biloxi
Daily Herald. Holt is we'll known in
newspaper fields Of Mississippi and
Alabama but better known in the
first named state as it is his native
heath. Owing to excitement preva-
lent in town over an other occurrence
at nearly the same hour, the attend
ance was reduced. As an inter tainer,
Holt certainly has talent and must
have had some experience and good
training, from his department before
the audience Saturday night In time
no doubt he will win quite reputa-
ton for himself in lvceum work as he
develops under the work and catches
the crowds. He is making the mis-
take on one point, however, that
many of the clever platform workers
make; that of approaching irrever-
erence for things Divine to produce
leviiy- The realm of wit is expansive
enough TO tickle the most obstinate
without this distastefnl tactic. This
criticism is kindly but candidly
meant. We had never met Holt be-
fore and We're well pleased with him
in the little intercourse his visit gave
US.

r. "A. Albums, the Junior Methodist
pastor of this place, to Miss Flora X.
Miller the fifteen and half year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ]. K, Mil
Ter. The ceremony took place just af-
ter nightfalL The bridal couple had
prearranged to meet at this exact
hour, aud they did: the young lady
slipping away from the parental
home, joined her affinity on the way
to the Methodist Parsonage where
they drove up with fast team from
the local livery and after presenting
the marriage license secured in Meri-
dian, put il zap to Rev. w. w. Perry
to say the words that would. make
them man and wife or not. He per-
formed the ceremony. They tarried a
few minutes and then drove to the
home of we editor, where Bro AL
lums makes his home. Here they re-
manned until their separation by the
girls father, Mr.. Miller. Immediate
ly on learning of the step they had
taken. this writer hurried away to
our friend Miller and acquainted him
with the StltuS of affairs, just in
time TO safe him useless "Trip away
on search, as he had discovered
that his daughter was gone and sus
pected with whom. The scene Of
course when he arrived and demand
ed his daughters return home, was
stormy and unpleasant. She remain
ed at the Miller home until late Mon
day evening, when her father took
her back to her husband and recon-
Citation ensued. She had been given
twenty-four hours to decide whether
she would take up her life with her
husband or stay at home Her decis-
ico seems to have been clear for her
lover. On account of the youth of
young lady, the match had been op-
posed by her parents and some I'M
Outstanding had been reached by
Mr.. Miller and the young man, but
the course of true love, as is it's won't,
could not run smooth when oppoSi-
tion was evident, hence the hurried
and clande slime marriage. Not roi'
anything would re indulge In any
censure of any of the interested par
ties. 'Twould be in bad place and i'll
timed. and the affair has reached
most happy termination, that rejoiccs
our heart While we had nothir
to do with the match or the fortune
link ing, from our observation after
the climax came, can truly say that
we believe it one of those cases
where Heart has met heart il. the
one all consuming passion of two
noble natures, and that this love
flame will but mellow with age. May
God bless this union and we fervent-
ly ascribe to him this benign grace
