Special to The journal.

|
wedding occurred Sunday at high
noon when Miss Aurora Campbell
daughter of Mr.. J. C. Campbell, Of
Atmore, and Mr. Joseph H. Patter
son, of Pensacola, were joined in the
| holy bonds of wedlock. Rev. H. I.
! Strout, pastor of the NJ. f. church at
! this place of which the bride was a
devout member pronounced the words
that made them one. The happy
couple left on Louisville & Nashville
train No. s for Montgomery and Birm-
| ingham, where they will spend about
ten days, after which they will be at
home to their many friends in Pen
| sacola, Fla. The bride IS quite pOpu-
lar among her friends here who wish
for her a happy journey on the sea
of matrimony. The groom is d travel
| ing salesman, of Pensacola, and
stands high in the estimation of his
friends. There were no cards.
The strawberry season at this
place is about at an end, and with the
| exception of a few crates which will
be shipped TO various points during
| the next week or two, by express. the
luscious fruit will have bid us fare
well for this year. The Southern Ala
bama Orchard Company shipped TO
date eighteen car loads, exclusive of
several hundred crates which were
shipped by express. J. r. H. Hilton,
president of that company, states that
the yield was not over one-third as
large as it would have been had it
not been for the late frosts and rainy
season.
Mr.. Hilton left yesterday, accom-
panied by his wife, for Knoxville,
Tenn. where he goes to look after a
crop of berries which covers large
acreage at that place. He will re
main until June Goth, when he will
return to superintend the shipping of
several car loads of canteloupes
which will be ready for shipment
from here by that date.
Considerable of enthusiasm is being
shown among our citizens prior to
the election to determine whether or
not the town of Atmore shall incor-
porate. 1t is thought that little il
any opposition will be had to the
cause. Hon. NJ. F. Brooks, Probate
Judge of this county. has appointed
G. w. Owen, ]. D. Curtis and l.. G.
Beatty as inspectors for the election.
The polls will be located at the bTok-
erage office of G. w. Owen on Main |
street. Several prominent men are
mentioned as being likely candidates
Coy seems 10 be the most popular.
For many months public sentiment
has been voiced for incorporation
and now that the movement seems
about TO be successful, many express
sions of approval are heard.
The Atmore Lighting & Ice Com
pany has moved its dynamo and cleo
trio fixtures from the building of the
Atmore Mill and Gin Company to its
new building opposite w. s. Brant-
ley's blacksmith shop, and last night
started the plant in full operation.
To the qualification of the public it
is giving entire satisfaction, some
improvements having been made in
the old service. The ice machinery
of the company is on the way here
and in the course of a few weeks the
company will start the manufacture
OF ice
Following in the wake of the incor-
poratiOn movement, a movement is
on foot to raise funds to build an up
to-date school building to accom-
modate the pupils of the Atmore In
stitute. The movement is being pro-
mulgated by some of the leading bust
ness men of the town, and reports
TO date show that it promises to be
an overwhelming success. According
TO a statement of County Superintend
ent j. B. O'Brannon, Atmore can
proudly boast of having the banner
school of the county, and as the num-
Der OF pupils 10 be accommodated
keeps increasing each term, it is very
essential that arrangements be made
that she might be able to further
boast The Escambia county high
school is also located az this place,
and arrangements are being made to
better the boarding facilities of same
for an increase in attendance The
