MARYVILLE INDEX January 29, 1879
Wednesday, January 29, 1879



Matrimony still prospers. On the 21st  inst., by Rev. R.L. Jenkins, at his

home, Mr. Johnston Russell to Miss. Mary J. Carver. May they live long and be

happy. We also learn that Mr. George Crye, in the lower end of the county,

took to himself Miss. Sallie Peterson, daughter of Bias Peterson, to be his

wife. Hurrah for the old bachelors!



We regret to learn that Fayette Culton, brother of G.P. Culton, Esquire, of

Clover Hill, died on the 28th inst.



Married---On the 22nd inst., Jefferson Dunlap, to Miss. Martha Davis.



Mr. J.G. Ish, formerly of this place, but now principal of the colored school

at Little Rock, Ark., was married on the night of the 2nd inst., at Selma,

Ala., to Mrs. M.G. Hardwick, by Rev. C.B. Curtis. Mrs. Hardwick was a teacher

in the public school of Selma.



Judge Baxter evidently intends to let our moonshiners know that the laws

cannot be disobeyed with impunity, even by men of property and influence. John

D. Headrick, of this county, who was mentioned in our last, was fined one

thousand dollars and given an order on the penitentiary for three year’s

board, the judge wishing to make an example of him.



We learn that on Saturday night before last the bed of  Jacob Simerly, who

lives a few miles from town, caught fire, while he and his wife were asleep.

They were awakened by the flames, which completely enveloped the bed, and the

house was only saved by great exertions of Simerly and a man named Sam Keith.

The bed was supposed to have caught fire from a spark or coal from the

fireplace.
