A pretty wedding took place yesterday at noon when Miss Minnie Scotch and MT. Sam Rietta were united in mar riage at St. Paurs church, the Rev J. c. Coyle officiating.
 The church was decorated in white palm ferns and white roses, and many candles. Before the entrance of the bridal party, Mrs. D. Vigilant sang Nal lards Ave Marie" Mrs. J. c. Colgan played the wedding march. MT. Sam Lus- co, MT. Sam Saia and Mr.-Joe Lombardo' were the ushers.

O. d asare .. ..u sine made a httl earthly paradise of flower garden. 1ali lilies and larkspur, holiyhocks, dahlias, phlox and spurs of biight-colored glad ioli lined the grass walks in her garden Roses grew in abundance near the sun dial, and underneath nearby trees there were seats, where the lady could rest and see how good her work was. A drinking fountain for the birds was not forgotten, and as she weeded her beds and tied up her plants she had the pleas ant companionshp of little feathered friends, who, in return for their baths and drinks, sang her many sweet songs.
 The peculiar part of the story appears to be that although these two women are neighbors, have known the same sorrow and have found in their out-of- dcor occupations the same balm for their ances only. It is doubtful, so l am told, if they exchange a dozen words during the season. They are as different as possible in temperament, yet alike in knowing what they need.
 Probably because they know so well that their gardens afford tbern the quiet. sure companionship that tn { crave, they seek no deeper intimacy. heir gardens also show the differences in their tastes. One woman could no more bother with bird bath than the other could use wheeled weed hoe and cultivate the ground between long lines of corn and beans. The satisfactory part of it all is that each has found what best suits her, and each in her own sphere may be finding, too, that self-oontroi, comfort and ability which may '7Hd her to real distinction in her chose field

 The story is to the effect that these women lived in the same little town somewhere in the middle west, and al- though their houses faced on different streets their gardens were within stones throw of one another. One of the women cultivated vegetables, working early and late in her garden, the fine quality of her early peas, beans lettuce, corn and tomatoes rewarding her for her many hours of work out of doors.

Columbus, Miss, July 30.--(SpecialJ No warrants have been executed against Wilson Partain and William Crosby, the two white men who were arrested several days ago on the charge Of hav- ing been connected with the operation of still near Caledonia, in the north eastern section of the county, aud At torney E. F. Galloway. who has been retained to represent them, states that he is preparing to institute habeas corpus proceedings with the view of securing their release. The arrests were made by D. La Rue and J. l.. Boyd, revenue agents with headquarters in New Orleans, and they turned their prisoners over to the local police, re- questing that they be held until war rants be sworn out against them. The revenue officers stated that they were going to Aberdeen, federal headquar- ters for the eastern division of the dis trict of Mississippi, for the purpose of securing these warrants. Though several days have passed, however, nothing has been heard from them, and the two prisoners, who both protest their innocence, are exceedingly anX- ious to regain their freedom. Partain and Crosby were implicated by Will liam Blevins, negro. who was found at the still when the raid was made and who was also placed under arrest. The still was an unusually large one, being of O. gallon capacity, and the officers also found 1400 gallons of mash and a small quantity Of corn whisky.

i MMAYBE it is because we are told l liWIl that God first planted a garden, that so many men and women through all the generations that have passed since the time when heaven and earth were one, have found so much pleasure and comfort in working in garden.
 Growing things afford a companionship which lonely or sad person finds very comforting; for there are times when one does not crave the companionship of | people-but the companionship of mani | mate things, silent things. solitude, the trees, the flowers. These things are fre- quently panaceas to a woman who per haps wants to forget one brief moment the cares and trials, the disappointments and sorrows of her life-and finds an Eden, near to natures heart, almost im- possible to find anywhere else, Not long ago I read the life of Francis Parkman ,and was forcibly struck by the story of his fortitude and persever- ance.
 Many people may not know Cor may have forgotten, as France Parkman be- longed to past generation) that after the publication of the first of his historical works, The Conspiracy of Pontiac" II lOil& years etdpSeu DeIOTG Ine GiOIeeTS of France in the New World" made it's appearance in print the other volume of this wonderful history of the American Indians and the early affairs of the white men in the new world, came along afterward with only few breaks; some times, to be sure, two years might pass and once again long periox of inaction put off the appearance of the last volume of this great series; throughout all this time the author was rot gathering ma terial for his vast work; the interims were caused by intense physical suffer ing, and during this illness he took up Horticulture, making it an exclusive oc- cupation, and he threw himself so com pletely into it and became such a mas ter of it, that he was recognized as an authority on such subjects
 That Parkman regained his health sur ficiently to continue his work, although it was often broken by recurring weak nesses, was probably due to the garden cure; tha. he evidently found more than physical health in his garden is shown by 8 paragraph, in one of his addresses before\the ''Hortcultural society, when he said:
 Ability, energy and self-knowledge ca m lead men to distinction by the path ways of the garden as well as by tne>' dutsy road of what individuals calieo the learned professions.
 That a woman as well as man can ma garden "a lonesome spot wherein the healing of the body and the soul may be accomplished may be illustrated nest
