A Surprise Marriage.

A few days ago, Miss Ruby Miller,
hall teacher at the public school, ten
dered her resignation with the evident
intention OF going to her, home at
Starksvile. Somehow announcement
was made from StErksville, through
the press of her marriage on Satur-
day, last, to Mr.. Hugh S. Dale OF Lex
ington. This event was not contem-
plated until June, but inasmuch as
the announces ment had been made, 1t
was decided that the marriage should
be on the day announced. So Mr..
Dale came to Grenada on Saturday,
the "a, and carrieH Miss Miller back
as his bride, the ceremony having
been said by Rev. J. g. CarotherS
Miss Miller is a lady Of estimable char
acter and has many friends in Gre
anda, who wish for her and her hus-
band life'S richest rewards.

THE GLOBE IS WRONG.

The Boston Globe is generally very cool and conservative newspaper. not given to man worship or anything approaching it., but we think it is somewhat ofr its balance when it de- ciares that if New Mexico. is to come into the Union as a state 1t should do SO as "the State of Lincoln" We agree with The Globe that there should be no more News and Norths and souths and Vests as prefixes to the names of States. for we have enough of such designations already, and for some of them there was never any real need. There were plenty of good names for States to be found without doubling any of them.
 while all this is true we insist that. as we have one State named Wash ington there should be no other one named for a President. The honor could appropriately begin and end with the first President, but when a departure is made from the example 
 , That has held good so long there can sbe no impartial solution of the prob lem as to what successor of his should have the honor. Much is said and written about allowing all the bitter ness of feeling engendered by the war of the '6O's to end. and certainly that is good. but The Globes proposition is not the best way to accomplish it..
 We have no criticism for Lincoln, and nothing to say which would be taken as an unfavorable comment on himself, his policies or his acts, but The Globe should know that to a large section of the country his name is not one to attract or hold the people. } or one they can speak with reverence. TO attach that name to one of the SOW ereign States would not be the best way to obllterate or bury the memo ries of the past. We repeat that We think the first President should be the only one to have a State named for him.

Hiatoric sword.

Jasper Mountain Eagle.
 An old sword and a gun with his- tory, especially the former. has his- tory, were in Jasper yesterday.
 They belonged to the late Uncle Billie Wilson. of Beat 3, and were turn ed over to MT. c. N. D. wilson. the ex- ecutor of the estate. to his brother, G. W. Wilson, the eldest son. who carried the interesting relic with him to his home in Arkansas.
 The sword has seen service in the Revolutionary war. It belonged to John Calhoun, c colonial soldier, who proved a gallant foe of the British du- ring the war of independence. Calhoun was Q relative of the great statesman, John c. Calhoun, and an uncle of the late ''Uncle Billie" wilson's grand father. Family tradition says that John Calhoun. the ancestor of the Will son family. slew number of British soldiers with the trusty old blade.
 The gun. or rather 1t was an old rifle barrel, had killed game for the oldeT members of the family. Mr. 0eorRe Wilson, it's present custodian, said he killed deer with 1t here in Walker. over fifty years ago.

 It has been more than once demon strated that the administration. or rather the President was using the secret service as means of serving his own ends. and to discredit and perhaps ruin those against whom he had grievances. either political or personal.

OUR SPY SYSTEM.

The reluctance shown by the Presi- dent to let the public know how and for what purpose so much public mon- ey has been spent for secret service creates a very decided impression that there is a very large colored gentle man slowed away in the woodpile. It is also calling attention to the dan gers and evils of our spy system, as 1t may properly be called. The in evitable tendency of a national secret service, as developed in Europe" re- marks The Boston Traveller, "is to create a body of men who not alone detect but manufacture crime. that their glory and profits may be en- hanced."

< The Kansas City Journal sees trou- ble ahead for MT Taft. all growing out of that 'possum dinner in Atlanta. Having by that performance estab- iished a precedent he will be expected to attend all sorts of appropriate func- tions at other places. each of which will have some freak addition to the bill of fare. The Journal learns that alligator steak is to be part of the menu in New Orleans. and argues that he will probably have to eat fried eels in Texas. baked 'coons in Mis- Eouri, and so on. and wonders how he can be expected to survive 1t all. We suspect that his safest plan would be to side-step all such functions, lest he find himself a wreck before the 4th of March.
