Pike County Journal
Zebulon, Ga., Tuesday, June 25, 1889

Home Affairs

See the announcement of T.J. Blasingame for clerk in the
announcement column. He is a competent one-armed man and
wants the office.

George J. Fincher has been appointed postmaster at this
place. He will take charge as soon as he makes his bond
which will be $8,000.00 over and above homestead and
indebtedness.

The Zebulon baseballists beat Williamson again last
Saturday. It looks like Williamson ought to be satisfied.
We can take Judge Wells and Col. Dupree and best the
Williamson crowd at a game of marbles.

Mr. Ethna W. Cauthen and Miss Susie Pauline Dupree were
married here in the Zebulon House parlor last Friday by
Rev. Harry Wells. Our congratulations are tendered the
young couple.

Mr. Luther Blasingame and Miss Ida Miller of Upson county
were married at the home of the bride near Thomaston on
last Wednesday. Miss Sallie Blasingame attended the
marriage and reports a nice time. She thinks there will
be several others before it is through with. The bride
and groom left the same day for Savannah on a bridal
tour.

Mr. S.J. Brown, one of the revenue men, was in town last
week. He said that on Wednesday he took a still from the
house of C.C. Middlebrooks, 2 miles north-east of
Barnesville, and the lady of the house wore the brightest
smiles imaginable when it was taken out. Mr. Middlebrooks
did not know it was in the house!
