CTJPID CAROLS OXCE AGAIN.
A Man-lagA Last Evening, Flavored
With Romance.
Yesterday evening Mr. William H.
Bnnn and Mies Julia C. Jordan took a
stroll; when at a late hour they re
turned to Miee Jordan's home she was
Mrs. William H. Bonn.
The marriage, which was almost, but
not quite a "runaway," was solemn,
iaed at the borne of Mr. -O. G. Holmes,
Re. J.. L. Foster, of the Christian
Cbureb, petforming the ceremony.
Friends had been given the "tip"
and many were present to wish the
couple a happy life.
There was some objection to the
ma'ch by the young ladies' parents,
but all went' as merrily as though the
proverbial marriage bell was ringing

A DESIRABLE POINT.
Our Suburban To wn.Milbrook, given

The September number of S. A. L.
Magucdi is out, and, as usual, vi'Uiains
an abnndance of splendid reading mat
ter. It gives a lengthy write-up of our
suburban little town Milbrook, snd
oloees by saying that "farms run from
100 to 600 acres, and their price is
comparatively high on account of the
proximity of this station to Baleigb.
No land is offered for sale, but it could
be bought on reaaonsble terms to es
Ubl ah mills. This pltoe, in fact,
otfera th best possible inducement for
the cHtabliebment of cotton factories.
A bold stream runs within s few hun
dred ysrda of the station, and it is
one of the most deeirable points on
the line fo: a new town, being within
a ten miuutee' run by rail from Ral
eigh, where all facilities are abundant,
aud schools are as good as aay where
la the South. Too much cannot be
said favoring tbia project. No cos!,

GREW FROM A SLANDER CASE.
A Fiffht About the Oak Grove Matter
Between Father and Wltneaev
The Oak Grove slander ease la
whioh waa involved a young lady
named Maggie Gray and several of
her neighbors, will be well remem
bered. The case came up for trial
here and was quietly settled, all' tha
witnesses avering that they had
never said anything against the
character of Miss Gray.
In tha Superior Court yesterday
afternoon there came up a case
whloh grew directly from the slander
squabble. It seems thBw-the morn
ing after the oaae was settled here,
Mr. Gray went to the noose of a
witness named Coley.; High words
passed and the two men finally
mixed. Now Coley to oharged with
an assault with a deadly weapon.
Mr. Gray's friends gay that the
defendant took a gun from a rack
and dealt Gray a powerful blow on
the head with the stook.
Mr. Coley'a friends refute this
oharge by the simple, but reasonable
reply that " 'nary a bump"or break
suffered the head Of Mr. Gray, al.
though it is claimed that the gun
brokea ovet
Lftn's Cranium.
And thus the matter stands In
oourt today with the comparative
hardness of gun-stock and head as
the bone of contention.
A NEW DEFINITION.
A Colored Financier's Explanation
of "Free Silver, 10 to t."
"Tbe King of France and ten thousand
men
Marched up the hill and then down
again. r
Ibe silver convention haa oomel
and gone and Col. Marion Butler
did the marching. The only trouble
was tbat Sir Marion had only a very
email corporal's guard to march
with him, but all thia is off the track.
Aud although ten pent cotton may
still further deplete tbe ranks of the
free silver army, this definition of
"Free Silver, at the ratio of 1 to V
which I heard one oolored politician
give to another this morning will be
of interest. .,-''--. r'?
They stood at tho Capitol gate,
a nd the discussion waxed warm.
'I don't believe dat yon knows
what you is takin' about,' said the
free silver nigger "What is de
meanin of "Free Silver at de piratfo
of 16 to L"
Tbe other negro's face fell and his
month ptused in its wild career.
' Well, den I'll tell ye. "Ton see
it's dis way. Ef I had one gole dol
lar an' vou had sixteen silver dol
lars, I coulchget all your dollars for
my dollar. And de reason,'' oon
Unued this new flnanoial light, "dat
dey say 'Free Silver' is dat I could
get your dollars ef I wanted 'em."
What a pity! What a pity Logo
did not arrive with his dark, black
crowd.
She Changed Her Mind.
Wednesday afternoon a lleense was
iesued for the marriage of Kiss Flora
May, of Durham, to S. G. Davie, of
Wake county, says the Durham Sun.
Nothing more was heard of tha mat
ter and it was thought thst there ware
already "two snttls with but a single
thought! two heartc that beat as one,"
until this morning, when Mr. Davia re
turned the licence.
He said his would-be bride bad
hanged her mind and decided not to
marry him. Mr. Davie returned to hia
home in Wake county this morning in
a very unpleasant frams of mind.
