Whatever of wealth was wanted the home furnished, and whatever was courted the mind oldest daughter, and" the object of much solicitude. Upon her queenly person many were bestowed, and none adorned as her own grace. i no surprise that many sought the fair hand, and sweeter life. and etm a surprise that even the chlvalric colonel of a State troop should with aanng dash or shrewd strategy, win the coveted prize. The wealth and social position of Miss Jones makes tne event one of more than ordinary interest in the social circle.

Great preparations for weeks were not only in the household of the bride but among her maids of honor, and those who were favored with a card to the reception. The shops here and in other cities, were put under trmute to furnish a fitting trousseau for so fair a maid. There was no stint, as the object deserves all, and a generous bank account supplies the needed. The marriage of Miss Mildred Jones to Col. Louis V.

Clark to-day has been one of beauty, and will be written down in the annals of the social life of Selma as probably the most fashionable wedding since 1865. The cards announced the marriage to take place at St. Paul's Episcopal Church at 9 o'clock at which hour the bridal party appeared and the ceremony was performed which gave a reality to that which was before but a dream. The service of the Episcopal Church was beautifully rendered by the rector and choir and in the sweet and solemn moment two hearts were made one in an indissoluble bond. The wedding Rown of the bride, rich and costly, was white satin, Duchess lace and passamenterie, point lace veil and diamonds and white roses.

The maid of honor, the bride's sister, Miss Augusta Jones, wore a pink silk gown, veil and pink roses. The bridesmaids were uniformly attired in white silk, wearing short veils and carrying white rosebuds. The veils were the gift of the bride to her attendants. The bridal procession entered the church in the following order: Ribbon bearers Messrs. Root.

Dec 20. (Special.) Poll- tics In this (Conecuh) County have been very quiet for a period of nearly twelve months during which time many of the best and most of its citizens have indulged the hope that the warring factions would fall on some plan and- settle their political differences or "get together," aa some Mut whatever, hope that may have been Indulged In along (that line hits vanished. The Third Party or Jetler. sonlau people, It seems, are restive and eager for the campaign of 1894 and have Issued a call through the chair man of their Executive Committee for a mass meeting to be held here on the 27 th. of January, for the purpose of electing delegates to their State conven tion, hag been called to meet in Brmlngham on the 8th of next February, and to the Seventeenth Senatorial District convention, the time and place for which will be named later on.

The Republicans, 90 per cent, of whom are negroes, in this county are quiet, if one may Judge from outward to- pearances, but it is generally supposed that they will co-operate with the Jef-fersonians, as they did in this county in the campaign of 1S92. Quite a number of Northern people have taken rooms for the winter at the "Hotel Orrie," and several others have engaged Doara with private families. Everybody in Evererreen was vorv much gratified when they learned that me recent Methodist conference at Opellka had returned Rev. Chappelle to the Methodist pastorate ueie ior anotner year. J.

L. Lawless. This Is the last of the union services until further announcements. These services have been of great benefit to this community. The churches have been drawn together by a feeling of Christian fellowship, irrespective of denomination and thereby Christian unity has been promoted.

The recital which was to have taken place at the Judson Institute Friday night has been postponed indefinitely. There was an Impromptu wedding at the Probata office early Saturday morning at which Judge Shivers officiated. It seems that the happy pair had decided to leave together for parts unknown. A brother of the girl learned of their departure and gave chase. He overtook them about Randolph and returned with them to this place, where they were united in the bonds of wedlock.

The ladies gave a supper Frfday night at the Court House for the benefit of the Marlon Rifles. The attendance was very poor, only about twen ty dollars being realized. This is one of the finest companies In the State and ought to be encouraged. Children's overcoats at $4 and $5. KAUFMAN WEIL.

The Coaaty's Nevr Jail A 1 Ndgro JViueu cottoa AesuatalatlnaY, Tuskegee, Dec. 20.

(Special.) A somewhat larger fall oat crop was planted in this county this year than last. The weather has been unusually favorable ana me stand is good. Work on the new jail here is progressing satisfactorily. The building will be a very handsome, comfortable and secure one. The front (part will be the Jailer's dwelling with two rooms below and two above surmounted by a tower and havihff two dormer windows.

The front and sides of this portion of the building will be faced with pressed bricks. The Jail proper will be separated from the Jailor's department by a Are wall and the roofs will be disconnected, so that if the former should be destroyed by fire the latter would not necessarily be burned. The front room of the Jail will be divided Into an offloe and a misdemeanor room. In the latter of which there will be two misdemeanor cells. In rear of these will be a room 21x34 feet in the center of which there will be a four-felon's cellB with a center corridor and surrounded by a Jailers' The Jail will have every convenience and it will be comfortably heated throughout All of the bricks used in the building, except the pressed ones, were made here, and are of superior The brick work is being done entirely by white men.

one of whom- is a manly young representative of one of Montgomery's good families. If the weather remains favorable. It la expected that the Jail will be ready to receive prisoners by the middle of January, but the Jailer's department will not be completed before about the 1st of March. News was received here today that a White man killed a negro in La Place Beat yesterday. It seems that a warrant, was Issued to search the negro's house for a stolen hog and he, with a double-barreled shotgun, met Uie party who had the warrant at his door and forbade him to The party who had the warrant opened flre on the negro with a pistol and in a scuffle that ensued the gun was snatched from the negro and both barrels emptied into 11m and he was killed.

The name of. -the negro is not known herejand there-Is a conflict as to who did the shooting. Mr. Noel Langley, an old cltizin of Macon County, and a successful farmer, died at his home In Cotton Valley a few days ago. Both of our warehouses are full of cotton and an occasional bale comes to town.

A few weeks ago "cotton" was all the talk on the streets, and the market report of The Advertiser was eagerly scanned every morning to learn "how cotton is." but the price Is so low now that no one wants to even hear cotton mentioned.

Providence. R. Dec. 19. Thd big strike at Olneyville, the one at.

Central Falls which was allied with the one-at Olneyville and the incipient one undertaken at the British Hosiery Works In Thornton near Olneyville, all collapsed yesterday. The strike at Olneyvlllle involved 6.000 people, the one at Central Falls 400 people and that at Thoijnton 300. the big strike in Olneyville lasted ten weeks and the people have suffered great privation during the past: five weeks. I Many of them were without food, fuel, clothing and money. The Olneyville strikers have gained concessions from the manufacturers amounting to six and a half per cent, a rebate from the original cut Of more than twenty per cent.

These concessions, were made two weeks ago, but were refused as insufficient, the strikers hoping to 'gain more. The conditions of trade offered no hope of the manufacturers getting orders to force them to make greater concessions and the dull business among workers elsewhere who might have been depended on for financial aid. to them and the depletion of their own treasury forced the strikers to submit to the terms they refused a fortnight ago. BRIEF BUT BREEZT. few Tork Seamen Who Snipped to Go to Braall Are Shipped Home.

Pernambuco, Dec. 19. (Coprlghted, 1898, by the Associated Press.) Late today Captain Nunez, the new commander of the Nictheroy, shipped sixty new men and sent several of the New Tprk crew aehore. The rest of the seamen shipped at New Tork were compelled to sail in spite of their protests and strike for higher wages. It Is thought that there was a serious disturbance on board the Nlchtheroy and that several of the men discharged to leave the ship engaged In a struggle, and that a number of them were finally clapped In Irons and; confined below the deck.

We are charged with Inconsistency by The Huntevllle Mercury because we support for Governor Col. Oates, who is opposed to free coal and iron ore, and criticise Senator Morgan who occupies the same attitude to those substances.

The cases are not analogous. Sena tor Morgan has until auite recently. been one of the most conaolouous and vehement advocates of the very policy or iree raw material he now repudiates, and, to say nothing of his famous Montgomery SDeech. no farther hank than Aug. 6th, 1890, he- offered in the Senate an amendment to the McKinley bill for the express purpose of admitting free of duty those same Cuban ores whose competMJon he now claims to dread.

Such inconsistency is startling in a grea party leader charged with the duty c-f making laws, and seeking re- eieouon tio the National Legislature, and entirely. Justified us la saying that the public will expeat some vert clear and satisfactory reason for hit sudden arid complete Change of front on aMMding suu vruu iueauon. as lor vol. jOatea, we are not advised of his on tne question or iree raw material, and Th Mercury has omittc In form us. He, of course, voted against tne jucjs.ui.iey Din, out be may nevertheless have believed, then as h0 does now about free coal and iron.

and if so, he cannot be charged wlthineon- But all that is immaterial. We are supporting Col. Oates for Governor, and as the chief magistrate of Alabama ha nothing to do with tariff laws, we are not concerned wiith the views of our candidate on the subject of Nova Scotia coal and Cuban Iron ores. What we want Is a good executive officer, the Democrat of largest ability, in that dir motion, most available for the nomination, and we think that we have selected the right one. The fact that Col.

Oates stood by the administration and voted for the repeal of the Sherman law did not Influence our Judgment in deciding ttva iic who iiw3 man our cnoice lot GOV' iiib present attitude on a question in nowise related to our. State government, will have equally as llttl influence upon us. There are to be no administration candidates In the State campaign, and Col. wi lose on his personal merits without refX-erenoe to his views and votea tlomal economic questions. PERSONALS.

Thonsamd of Boxe Are on the Docks and In the Depots. Jacksonville Citizen. From the appearance of tie docks and the freight depots about the city the orange Industry of the State is-unmistakably increasing. Every river boat has been taxed to its utmost. These shipments are from points along the St.

Johns that are not reached by the railroads, and it speaks a great deal for this section of tne State. The railroads have also been shipping the fruit very heavily this season, and this traffic is not by any means over, The Florida Fruit Exchange, through which practically all of the State crop goes, reports the orange industry very bright thus far and according to the records of the exchange, the increase in the size of the crop since the seasons of '84 and '85 until the present year are surprising. Then the crop was 600,000 boxes. It has since increased as follows: 1885-6, 1886-7, 1887-8, 1888-9, 1880-90, 1S91-1, 2,460,000, 1891-2, 3.761,843; 1892-3, 3,400,000, and the season of 1893 and '94 will reach between four and four and a half million boxes. If all of the trees now in the State are in bearing Ave years hence, atd no drouth or cold intervenes, the crop will reach ten million boxes.

The average price realized the past eight years has been about $1 per box on the trees, with the exception of a few years when the price fall a little. So far this season prices are lower than ever before, which at- the exchange is accounted for by the fact that the fruit is tender and reaches Its destination in bad order. This Is attributed by some to the rainy season, while others claim that it is the result of the storms of September and October. In 1884-85 the average net return to the gmwer did not exceed 50 cents per" box, while. In 1885-86 the net return to the growers was $1.48 per box.

In 1886-87 the net return at the shipping station was $1.27 per box. In 1887-88 it was as high as $1.72, falling In 1888-89 to $1.33. The net returns after this last year mentioned up to the past year were as follows: In 1889-90, in 1890-91, In 1891-92, in 1892-93 it was $1.31 per box. it will be noticed that the prices varied, but the aggregate is far above the net prices of 1884; when the Florida Fruit Exchange "was first organized.

Speeches. Webster was often, as we have seen, roused to great utterances on the spur of the instant by some immediate provocation, and no-one could do. grander things without preparation of any He had really no methods or habits of preparation. Sometimes he wrote out before speaking. Sometimes he wrote out elaborately after speaking.

Sometimes he had a long time for preparation, sometimes, as in the Hayne case, a very short time. One of his grandest orations perhaps the grandest of all-was the Eulogy, on Adams and Jefferson. They died in 1826, on the 4th of July. A week e.apsed before he accepted the appointment to deliver the eulogy. It was delivered on the 2nd of August.

Three weeks of midsummer heat was all he had for that magnificent discourse. But I have reason to believe that his habit was always to make preparation for his efforts when there was opportunity for doing so. From "Webster's Reply to Hayne," by the Hon. Robert C. Wlnthorp, in the January number of Scribner's Maga-aine.
