The Williamson correspondent of tbe Greenville News, under date of December 24th, says: ' One of the most noted social ? vents in tbe history of onr town was tbe marriage of Capt. W. F. Neal. of Greens? boro, N C, to M ss Carrie Prince, eldest daughter of the Hon. H M Prince, who represented this county in the State legisla ture from 1880 to 1884 and who has been always prominent in every progressive step taken by this community. Grace, beauty, elegance and geniality have always characterized tbe bride'b nodal career and charmed by the magnetism of ouch lnfln ences, her many admirers have fl >oked to her, receiving at all times snob nniform kindness and consideration that the popu? larity which is hers ia uabounded. Cap tain Neal Is connected with large contract? ing interests in tbe North and dqrjng bio h'ay in Williamston baa won many warm friends who will unite in extending to him their heartiest congratulations. The marriage ceremony was conducted by the Rev. A B Earle, pastor of tbe Methodist Church, in his usual solemn and impres? sive manner, after which tbe few special friends of tbe family present, were invited Into the dining room where they partook of an elegant luncheon, served vi itb ex quisite taste by Misses Annie Prince, Ear nie Crvmes and Mattie Prjnpo. Many beautiful and useful gifts were presented to tbe bride. Immediately after the luncheon tbe bridal party boarded the north hound train via tbe Southern Rail? way for Greensboro, N C , where tbe bride and groom will spend tbe holidays visiting friends and relatives of Captain Neal. The. bearty congratulations and best wishes ot the peopleof Williamaton attend the happy couple." Williamston Happonjngs, A very Bensatlonal as well as romantic marriage has just occurred in our town. The happy man was Mr. Isnm 81ocum, an entire stranger to all the Williamaton people, save to one person, who has been the very making of him and is like a brother to him. This bosom friend brought him to the College Chapel to attend the delightful fish pond wHch took place Christmas night Both Mr. 81oonmand his friend are very reticent, but, from his uniform, it is conceded that he is one of Qieen Victoria's soldiers. Indeed, It is whispered that he holds the title of Lord. The next day Mr. Slocum met Miss Drucilla Smith, who with her mother, moved to Williamson a short time ago [t proved to be a case of love at first sight By Friday rqorning matters had been arranged satisfactorily between th?m, bur not so with the mother. She was bitterly opposed to ber d-iughter marrying so \outig. But love knows no discourage? ment, and an attempt to run away wa? made But, alas ! before the convevar<cs could get, nut of the yard, the mother com? manded the driver to bait, and she stopp? ed proceedings Not daunted at this, they, with the aid of friends, succeeded in ob tainitig the consent of tbe mother by ten i'clock Friday night A few minutes later Mr Slocum and Miss Drucilla Smith were united in marriage. They, followed by four couples who acted as attendant*, marched into the parlor to the strains of ?he wedding march The best man an., maid of honor stood immediately behind (he young couple, while tbe attendants formed* in a seen circle. After the cere? mony was performed the congratulations of friends followed Mr. and Mrs. 81o cum will not follow the a?ual custom m newly-married people in visiting Atlanta, hut will leave immediately for Atlanta, which will be their future home. Joy and good will go w'tb them. G. ? The Macon Telegraph prints the in? teresting information that an ostrich farm Im to be established in the southern part of Georgia, by Mr. J. M. Wallace, of tbe firm of Wallace & Dim mock, Atlanta. It says: "A few dayB ago Mr. Wallace pur? chased a pair of Australian birds from the ostrich farm on the Midway. These birds were taken from tbe farm and placed in the poultry show where they will be kept until tbe close of the fair. Tbey will then be taken to tbe southern part of Georgia, where it is supposed that tbe climate is bo mild that the birds will live Ostrich raising has become very profitable in California, and tbe birds are so plentiful that tbey can be purchased very cheap now. Mr. Wallace paid ?100 for the birds with which he proposes t<> start hie farm."
