Thomas Kelley, an express messenger running be- tween Selma and Meridian, and Miss Katharine Wright of Cave Spring, Ga, which occurred at the resince of MT. J. A. Douglass in this city, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Belt White of the Church of Christ.
 MT Kelley and Miss Wright were to be married about the 1st of May, and he had arranged to pay his sweetheart last visit prior to the wedding To this end he had secured leave of absence Friday and Sat urday and went up Friday on the first train to Cave Spring Saturday after noon the couple came to the conclusion that there was no use for delay about getting married. This conclusion was reached too late in the day, however, to secure license from Rome, so it was de- oided to come to Anniston and get mar ried. Accordingly, a telegram was sent MT. J. A. Douglass, manager of the local express office, asking him to secure a license and a preacher and meet the cou- pie at the depot in Anniston and witness the ceremony

HOTEL LIFE AND THE ST. REGIS

New York City is the metropolis of the Western World. Within Its restricted area resides a population exceeding by nearly million and a quarter the total population of the entire state of Texas.
 The denseness of New York's popula- tion, the volume and extended character of it's business transactions, and tho magnitude of It's amusement enterprises and society functions, have made hotel life here a necessity. With the greater city has grown up a new race of public houses. The modern hotels of New York surpass the world in their size their elegance of appointment, and the character of their service. They supply every want, they even antciptae ones wishes. There is one hotel in New York, with every feature of its construction, its furnishing, its equipment, Its man. agement, its cuisine and Its service equal to the most famous hotels of the world, which has succeeded in incorpora- ting and retaining the "home atmos- phers'' in its regime. This hotel Is the St. Regis, situated on Fifth avenue at Fifty fifth street. With all its luxury and home refinements 1t is by no means the highest priced. Splendid single rooms are obtainable for 8 and s4 a day; the same with private bath for $5 a day Cor s6 for two people); while for a parlor, bedroom and private bath the rates are from s12 day upward. The restaurant charges are no higher than those of other first class hotels.
