Seventy or more of the friends and relatives of the contracting parties were present to
wish them all the joy and happiness imaginable, as this young couple are exceedingly
popular.  Among those who were present at the marriage were Claud and Ed. Nix, from

  On the 4th, there were four deacons elected to serve Sardis church, as follows:  Simon
Russell, Jack Pitts, Thomas Russell, and Hill Wood.  They were to have been ordained last
Sunday, but the preachers expected did not come, therefore the ordination did not take
place.  There were more people present that day than has been at the church since the Zion
Association met there in 1892.

  The oat crop is being harvested and is proving much better than was anticipated.  The
late rains have done a great deal of good.
