The Schley County News Thursday, Oct, 5, 1893 No. 39 A LONG JOURNEY. Two or three families traveling in covered wagons stopped over in Ellaville Saturday. They were from Illinois and had been on the road six weeks seeking the balmy atmosphere of Florida. Three of their horses had died on the way and the people seemed fagged out and thoroughly disgusted with such a mode of traveling, and decided to finish the trip on the train. LOST Between Dozier's Mill and Ellaville, a young setter dog. White except head, will come to the call "Gypsy." Any information will be appreciated.---J.M. Column, Putnam, Ga. At the home of the brides parents, Mr.and Mrs. Isaac Hart near Friendship Sunday afternoon, their charming daughter, Miss Minnie, was married to Mr. H.L. Mize, a popular young merchant of Americus. The best wishes of hosts of friends are showered upon the happy young couple. The weather is very unfavorable in Brunswick and the fever is spreading at an allarming rate. The physicians are becoming over worked. The terrible scourge has extended to several little towns near Brunswick. There are two cases at St. Simons and four at Jekyl. New York is preparing to send aid to this stricken people. A HAPPY MARRIAGE On last Tuesday afternoon, at Andrew Chapel, near Ellaville, Mr. Charles Brady and Miss Eula Walker were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Rev. R.F. Williamson, officiating. The pretty little church was beautifully decorated and crowded with many friends and relatives of the contracting parties. The attendants were Mr. Walter Hooks and Miss Nyda Baisden and Mr. Ed Brady and Miss Pearl Walker. Ushers, Mr. R. Glover and Mr. Gatewood. The bride wore a lovely whip cord dark heliotrope(?) trimmed in irradescent silk and cream roses; Miss Walker, satin gloria trimmed in white lace. After the marriage the bridal party and many of their friends left for the home of Mr. Brady, where an elegant reception were tendered them. The happy couple received many congratulations from numerous friends. Mr. Tom Tondee has purchased a beautiful new organ for his daughter. Messrs. A.J. Walters and P.E. Taylor, who have been reading law for some time, will probably be admitted to the bar next week. A crowd of gypsies are camping near town and two of their number have been quite sick this week. Dr. Munro has been attending them. Some of the finest apples we've ever seen were brought to the News office yesterday by Mr. E.H. Cordell. They were grown on his plantation near here. We learn that it is very likely that Dr. Griffin will move his family to Ellaville this winter. We sincerely hope the report is correct, for our people will be delighted to have them as citizens. The car loads of coal being unloaded at the depot reminds us that winter is not far off. Quite a number are having ????? put in as they find that coal is very much cheaper than wood and definitely more convenient. (The following is very poor copy and out of focus. My apologies,but this seems to be what was printed.) Mrs. J. N. Mott was taken very ill on the train last Thursday night while returning from the Association at Buena Vista and had to be taken off here and carried to the hotel where she could receive medical attention. She is now at the home of Mr. John Kleckley and we are gald to know she is improvement(improving). PERSONALS Mr. L.W. Dixon of Lacrosse was in town Sunday. Mr. L.E.

Mesdames Arrington, Lindsay, Threldkeld and others who attended the Association last week were delighted with the genuine hospitality extended the visitors by the whole souled people of Buena Vista. The reports from the different churches were very gratifying and showed the Friendship Association to be in a splendid condition spiritually and financially. We call attention to the flattering statement made by the Planter's Bank of Ellaville in this issue showing deposits of over $20,000, and ready cash of over $14,000, or more than enough to pay all deposits in full. It shows that there is "life in the old land yet" and during the recent crisis in money affairs, when banks all over the country were being pushed to the wall, the Planter's Bank withstood the pressure without the boble. There were two very angry tramps on the streets Tuesday morning. They were just out of the calaboose where they had been entertained the night before by the city. They swore vengance against the authorities for having them locked up as they claimed that they were journeymen tailors on their way to Columbus and seriously objected to being detained here. Marshal Hudson suspected that they were the men wanted in Americus for burglary and arrested them about four miles above Ellaville, and held them until he could hear from the officers, when he found that they were not the ones he promptly released them to move on. Vagrants had better stear clear of here.
