Mr. Marable takes with him the best wishes of his entire congregation,( and in deed of the community. . 'X - . ' , -. A SELECT party of friends were gath ered at the residence of Shade L Wooten, Esq., near La Grange, Tuesday morning, to witness the marriage of his sister, Miss Mary L. Wooten to J.

Ivey, pastor of the Goldsboro Baptist church, and soon after the happy couple left for the elegant. home of the groom, where a reception awaited them Tuesday night. We join their numerous friends in congratulations, and extend them our earnest wishes for happiness and long life in the journey that lies ahead of them in this world. Rev. Geo. W. Sandeelin returned last week from a pleasant visit to Balti more, where he was most cordially greet ed and received by his numerous friends and acquaintances in that city, and espec ially so by the members of his former con gregation, which no doubt was extremely gratifying to him. The Baltimore Sun notes his presence in the city, and says: Rev. Geo. W. Sanderlin. who for five years was pastor of Franklin Square Bap tist Church, and who resigned his charge in 1876 on account of ill-health, has just paid a visit to this city foi a few days, and met with a hearty and cordial reception from his many friends.

" There was a public Masonic' celebration at Selma, it being the occasion of the in stallation of the newly elected officers of Selma Lodge No. 320. The Baptist church had been kindly loaned for the ceremonies, to which place the Masons moved in procession. The attendance was large, embracing Masons from all the surrounding lodges, and a goodly number of the uninitiated; arid to cap the climax the Worthy Grand Master, Gen. W. E. Cox, added additional interest to the oc casion by his presence. , The officers were installed by Grand Master Cox, as follows: II. D. Hood, W. M.; W. H. Parker, S. W.; J. M. Tis dale, J. W.; S. H. Flood, Treas.; R. J. Noble, Secretary; A. B. Creech, Senior Deacon; J. B. Oliver, Junior Deacon; J. E. Allen, Sr.,' and W. W. Grumpier, Stewards; J. A. Underbill, Tiler. After the installation services, Major Robert Bingham was introduced to the audience by Mr. M. C. S. Noble, as the orator of the day, and that distinguished educator then delivered an address that fully sustains his world-wide reputation, rfe was listened to most attentively by all present, and many were visibly affected by his many, touching tributes and inci dent of Masonic brotherhood. He closed with an appeal for the Oxford Orphan Asylum, and afterwards a handsome col lection was taken up for that institution. , The Charlotte Observer says:. "Car, shanty; : Louisville to Goldsboro; con signee, Agent at Little Washington; des cription of article, one old man, Santa Clau?; charges D- H.; Astray returned by order; feed and water."- This is the partial reading of a bill of the Jlichmond & Danville Railroad, and it is a true bill." Santa Claus in this 'case is an old daikey who looks like he might be a thousand yeara of age. He has "wandered far away, mother; far from his happy home," which is Little Wnshington, N. C, and now that he feels that he is near death's door, he wants to go back to the place of his nativity to die. He was started on his return trip by the courtesy of the Louis ville, Nashville & Great Southern Rail road, and is hilled through, dead head, to Goldsboro. He rides in the shanty car on all the railroads, and evidently teels quite set up over all the honors that are being done him. He passed through Charlotte yesterday, and the boys at the Richmond & Dan viUe depot laid kown their pens long enough to step out and wish him a merry Christmas. A NICE TIME. Mt.
