DIED ON HER WEDDING EVE.
Near Bowder Springs, Georgia, what
was to have been a wedding proved to
be a funeral. The daughter of Col.
John MeFadden had met Mr. Edward
Smelt, of Charleston, at Tallulah; in the
early summer. The couple soon be
came lovers, and the young lajdy re
turned home before the season was
Qut to prepare for her wedejing which
was set down lor Monday, tier lather,
who is one of the
leading
planters of
Cobb county, resolved to
make the
weddi,ng a grand social occasion. The
bridal' trosseau was ordered frohi New
York, and the young ladies1 were pres
ent T om several S atcs to acL as 'brides
maids. . -.- ;
iSunday night the bride expectant ar
rayed herself in J her robeis for che in
spection of her friends. ,For a few mo
ments the greatest hilarity existed,
when suddenly Miss McFaden put her
hand to her forehead with a scream
and fell to the floor. She was: dead.
The body, arrayed as it was for the
wedding, was laid out for (burial, and
when Mr. Smith roa3 up at 2 jo'clock
Mondav afternoon, which was the ap
pointed time, he tound that he w;as at a
funeral instead of a wedding. He was
so overcome that he could not even
go to the burial, which took place at
TOO POOR TO BUY A GRAVE.
John Jordan, colored, came Into the
poor.commissioner's office in Detroit,
Michigan, with a basket; on his arm.
He warned permission to bury his baby
in a vacant lot, as he had no money to
go to the cemetery, and he did not
want the baby interred in the potter's
field. "The superintendent said such
permission could not be given, and
added: "What's your number? I'll
send for the corps.,' "Oh, you jneedn't
send,' replied Jordan, "for I've got him
here," and taking a cloth from the
basket he revealed the weej black
baby, whose emaciated body j told of
extreme suffering. The superintend
ent was staggered, but he gave Jordan
a note to the city undertaker and said:
"The undertaker will furnish a coffin
and bury your baby. It will cost, you
nothing," and the father reverently
cdvered the corpse again and left the
officeChicago Herald. j

GEORGIA LAD OF 17
GIRL OF 15ELOPE.
Danielsvillk, Ga. Mr. Dan Huff
sometime becn'run foaooredx of
MifesCuai dier ot Buk -ouoty. Tbej
agreed to k'p tbt-ir engagement ft
profound .-cre. from ths parent fioMhe

Sandy mornieir they stalled to ehurch
jTit after the oid folks had left for the
ame desnua'ion. succeeded in get

toeir way hastily to DanieUville. The
young ladyTrf father soon bad croand
to suspect the probable seqaeMd the
disappearance of tse yoacg-fIWk. He
mounted a fleet-f 00 WhorQ aid soon
U und their direction, and pursued
th-rn as tastsiposible.
- The youueeonple anived in Daniels
vitie, drove up to Mr. Kmnebrew'a and
soon after tbo heated animal of the
father passed the house, bearing its
master. In his haste the , old man
failed to see the tournout standing by
lk wayside, and. passed them by.
After he tmsj-ed 'thete was no time to
loose. The ybuntj man obtained a
license and tne services of a Justice,
and the couple were married. Soon
after tbe ceremony the uncle of the
bride rode up: He had also followed
them but arrived too latei3 The father
hadlott t ack of them aod turned back
He rode up and found his fifteen-year-old
daughter a bride; He was excited,
but was calmed down on finding that
his rage could be do avail. The groom
is 17 years of age.
DOWNED THE TRAIN.
The Scotland Neck & Greenville,
train had a peculiar experience while
on the South bound trip Saturday even
ing. Somewhere this side of the A. &
R. junction a cow was ic.non the track.
Engineer-Smith tooted his whistle and
the fire nian rang the bell,- they suppos
ing his alarm as usual in such cases,
wou'd be sufficient to make the animal
take to the woods in fright. But she
didn't scare worth a cent and stood
watching the approach of the iron mon
ster with appearent Unconcern. The
train drew nearer, the engine tooted
louder and the bell pea'ed fast r but the
old cow stood her ground. Finally the
engineer saw that the train must
either be stopped or the railroad com
pany have a suit for the killing of a val
uable cow,'' so he chose the former and
stopped his train when in a few ieet of
the anim al. The fireman was sent out to
drive the cov away but met with an
other failure to frighten her, and being
a large powerful man he gathered on
to her horn with one hand, to her tail
.with the other, and with a lew strong
pulls managed to persuade the animal
oft the track, where, he stood and held
heruntil engineer Smith could move
his train by. We heard Capt. Whitaker
tell this and he is a.tr.uthful man. We
don't reckon this cow ha ever seen a
train before. Eastern Reflecter.
HIS NECK
SAVED
BY THREE
VOTES.
Robert Gray, in j-iil at Jasper, Ala.,
for assaulting a vounar lady, escaped
Wynching Wednesday night by three
votes in a poll of 100. A mob of one
hundred was on theway to the jail,
when friends of the young lady met
them and urged them, to desist, as
Gray had not been fully identified.
After much parleying the mob agreed
to take a vote. Two managers of
election were ehosen and an empty
cartridge box was used as a ballot box.
When thevotes were countedit was
found. that a majority of three were
opposed to the lynching, and the mob
dispersed.

Very Bisky Indeed.
To tamper with symptoms indicative
of growing kidney disorder; to neglect
for a brief time needful stimulation of
the renal organs when their inactivity!
points, as it always and" unmistakably
does, to their eventual permanent dis
ease, is certain very risky indeed. This
is, however, a risk that many persons
perceptibly drifting into Brighfs dis-j
ease, diabetes, catarrh of tho bladder,'
&c., constantly incur. So those, who
read, reflect and heed the lessons of
recorded experience, the advisability
of using Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
as a diuretic, need scarcelyfnore than
a suggestion. No! f act is more gener
ally admitted by the medical profes
sion and the public than its efficacy for
the prevention of serious renal diseased
The unmedicated excitants , of eom
merce, no matter how pure, bear in
mind, react prejudicially upon the kid-
neys when inactive. The Bitters sub
dues malaria constipation and rheu
matism. :' "". .
