A I3iy Thing: fo Augusta. / Every citizen of Augu?ta Is Interested I the success of the Augusta and Knoxvll 1U11 road, all of our nadcrs, therefore, wfli I I glad to lc;iru that measures arc now belt | taken looking to Its early completion. Tl | road has been trailed to Greenwood, and tl company now has seventy miles of road lit In first cIuhs condition, with ten inles of ready for the track, the necessary stipe ! structure!", Kucha* trestles, bridges, etc., ha' [ ing been all finished to the rlvi-r. The pie: at the river are, perhaps, the fluent hii most substantial lti the South, liavin cost seventeen thousand dollars. The brldj I is now arriving, and will be put In posltlo I as soon as possible by the contractors. Jl of iron, aud of the most approved patten i The read bed una superstructure ordtnarll would cost ten thousand doilum a mile, c seven kundredthoucaud dollars altogcthe so that the company litis property now wort at leust three hundred and fifty thousan dollars. It will not do to let such a proper! las this lie idle, and those who have It 1 1 charge do not Intend that it shall. They ai j determined that the rc.:d shall be built, ar at an early date. The bonds of the eompar wlllbea safe and a piofltable Investtnei ' and should be taken readily at par. There ! no doubt abcut the payment of the lutcrc* ' and the mortgage will be a very small del upon the road. If one or two hundred thou and dollars of these bonds are taken in A custa, so as to show that we mean blislne* the remainder clin easily be sold elsewker Now Is the time for action. It will not do 1 put off any longer. Augusta has spent hundred thousand dollars on the enterpri and ?he cannot afford to stop. With the ma agers of the road there is no saeh word as fa Hiid It behooves our people to lend them ahel Inghand, thereby benelitin^ the entire coi muuity. Tho rnncftaled Weanons Bill Stcno* 1.

The lirst v that of our young friend Mr. Thos. Parks Miss Enuna Quarles of Midway, on the ! * Inst. Notwithstanding the day previous v very co:d and the roads exceedingly bad, ^ experienced no difficulty In getting a nunil 5 of young ladiesand gentlemen toaecompa r? him, knowing the good things that were" < score for them. The party lett town on t r morning of the 7th. Nothing of lmportai " occurred on the road, except, when we si e' i ped to warm ourselves and refresh the tm e? man, with the delicacies the ever thought >r ladles had prepared before leaving home. C hostess who was of a duslcy hue, in reruunc 0 tion for the presence of kindly faces, buli more cheerful blaze than the caliber of ! 11! grate would allow and set her chimney on 11 ' } but by Uie assistance of her guests, the flan were extinguished Without any matei s damage to Tier wayside Inn. \Ve arrived the hosplwihie home of Mrs. Perrlu, the pli o: our destination, late In the af'erno of where we pk>as*ntly spent the evening In d cla! lestlvlUw. The party arose with the h m the next morning and the busy rush abi id the house tokd they were making preparatl for the appointed hour. At eleven o'cl( 4 V 1 r i i'Vi'ir MllifiDiiTfl.lif j Mr. Parks and his fair intended wore sum I mone<l to appear before the preacher, Kev | Mr. Reld. Their attendants were: Mr. J. W, I Duekeit and Miss Ktttie Parks, Mr. J. ],. Tolbert and Miss Yelden, Mr. t. JO. Nlcklesand Miss Annie Nhadrach, Mr. A. .7. Hp roles and Miss Mamie Wideman. After the ceremony, as we offered our felicitations to the happy couple, "love triumphant" was plainly depleted on the countenance of the "happy man." We then repaired to a table spread with all that, heart could desire. Aftergoing through a pretty lively exercise with knives and torks, we left for home to enjoy a similar i feast at. Dr. Parks. "Yon are happy snld the aged sire, Unto his married son. You are happy, are you not, my boy, You bet I am. said Tom." The next was Mr. J. W. lhiekett to Miss Klf' tie Parks the same evening bv Kev. If. C. Smart, at. the residence o! the bride's father, l.._ mi.-l- I \|,. u J," Duckettand Miss Annie Shndrach, Mr. W.J, | Parks and Miss Carrie Cobb. Mr. \V. (.?. CalI houn and Miss T. Sprolos, Mr. J. It. llughcy | and Miss Octavla Coleman. Wo had already convincing evidence that the kitchen cabinet of this generous household was well organized and In a high stale ol" efficiency, and now as before we madewaron a heavy ladenedand beautifully decorated table. After chatting, paying games and writing J ream tickets until a late hour, the party dispersed to meet the next evening at Mr. 'i'hos. Duckett's. Hero we spent a very pleasant evening and us it was the winding up of the long to be remembered festivities, some of us not "moon strufck" and had our dream tickets enlarged. Some occasions are said to be "sort of guIds posts on 1 he Journey <>f life pointing the way to true happiness." Some of our party seem to be pondering over the truth ol It. If any of them ever remember of spending a more agreeable tlnio, their lives have fallen in pieasanter places than mine have. We trust the young couples have a tranquil sea before them, and wi.*h them all the Mossing?) with which a union of hearts and bands can possibly be crowned. Ol). MARRIED. MAUIUKD, Deo. 12th.
