ALMYRA GLEANINGs

A light rain fell Sabbath night in
the southern half Of district No. 8,
and another heavier rain on Monday
afternoon and Monday night in the
same locality, and extending over into
Shelby county, which is greatly APP
preciated by the farmers Of these To-
calities. Both cotton, corn and pas
lures have suffered from the extreme
dry, hot weather the past several
weeks. The rains the last two days
will help late corn and pastures.
The marriage bells have been ring
ing promiscuously the last week. On
Sabbath afternoon, the 18th, Mr.. Ezra
Bomar and Miss Iva May Costley,
both over the line in Shelby county,
came over into Upton in quest Of a
minister to say the soft words to
make them husband and wife, and
failing to conveniently find one, they
laid hold Of Esq. Charlton Cothran, Of
the 9th district, and were quietly
married in their buggy, near the home
Of Mr.. Joe Beaver.
On last Friday evening at the sol
emn hour Of $3.50, Mr.. N. NJ. Gladney
after getting the necessary permits
sion Of the orphanage board and
managers Of the home, and the neces-
sary official authority from County
court Clerk C. P. Simonton, called
the services Of Rev. w. G. Kerr,
and was quietly married to Miss AL
sic Henry, one Of the older girls at
the home. Both of the above named
young men are energetic young farm
ers, and their brides lovely young
ladies', we'll worthy of the love and
companionship Of these young men;
and their many friends wish them
long lives and successful voyages over
life's tempestuous sea.

We saw a few days ago clipping
from the Concord Times, a North
Carolina newspaper, speaking about
the two morning stars IN the east,
which are seen over there between 5
and 6 o'clock in the morning. The
clipping states that some one says
the same thing occurred early in the
year 1865, and the stars moved near
er and nearer together until about
the time of General Lees surrender,
when the two stars merged into one.
The clipping stated these stars are
being observed closely to see what
will be the outcome of their course.
Has anyone here seen this peculiar
astronomical appearance?
