ATHENS, Feb. 10. - [Special] -
Sam H. SLACK and Miss Emma WILKINS were married at
Mt. Cumberland, three miles from Athens, Sunday morning.
The license for this wedding was issued three years ago, but the
young people were prevented from marrying on account of their
age - their parents thinking they were too young. To all
appearances they, seemingly, had forgotten each other, but on
Sunday morning they met at Sunday school, and were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock by "Squire Tom FOSTER. They
belong to the best families of the county, and have many friends
who wish them a long life of happiness.
Dame rumor has the wedding of one of our most popular
young society ladies to a young man from a neighboring state,
who is attending, who is attending the University here. To
confirm this report the young lady yesterday received from D.
B. LOVEMAN, Chattanooga, two costly dresses, etc.
The marriage of one of our well known young merchants,
to an Athens belle, is also reported to materials in the near
future.
Our streets are thronged to-day with rural brethren,
trading and selling produce, and, of course, our merchants are
wearing broad smiles.
The East Tennessee road is at last recognizing the

some new enterprise on foot.
The new machinery for the Athens woolen mills has been
placed in position, greatly increasing their capacity for the

Services were held at all the churches Sunday. An
immense congregation was present at the revival services in the
M. E. Church, south, Sunday evening. Rev. R. J. COOKE
preached one of his most powerful sermons, and the altar was
crowded with penitents.
Mr. WEBBER and wife, of Cleveland, Ohio, were
here with a view of investing in real estate. He is
already interested in Athens dirt.
The Y. M. C. A. meeting in the Presbyterian church
Sunday afternoon was largely attended and the exercises were
very interesting.

As yet no democrat has had the cheek to announce
himself in the county for office; but are the election rolls

The JOURNAL is by far the best daily paper that comes
to Athens. We believe its enterprise in furnishing all the
news to its readers will be appreciated by the Athens people, as
well as others, in a substantial manner. |

ATHENS COUPLE MARRIED IN MIDDLE OF STREET.
Athens, Ga., Apr. 27 - (Special) -
Yesterday shortly after noon, Rev. H. C. COMPTON, who has
had more peculiar experiences than most men of twice his age,
married a young couple of this city as they sat in the buggy in
front of the drug store on Clayton street, with dozens passing
and none suspecting that a marriage ceremony was being said.
The groom-to-be explained that he was afraid that the
horse might run away. The preacher offered to perform the
ceremony from the curb. The bride assented. The
preacher placed one foot on the wheel hub and carelessly said
over the ceremony as if he were asking the couple what sort of
ice cream they wished from the fount. They thing was over
in a trice and nobody was the wiser till a few minutes after the
minister told it to several who had actually seen the marriage
and were not conscious of the character of the spectacle.
The couple was Mr. A. S. SEAR___? and Miss
Carrie HUGGINS. |

ATHENS COUPLE MARRIED FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY
Dr. and Mrs. John Atkinson HONNICUTT Celebrate Golden
Anniversary; Relatives and Friends Gather
ATHENS, Feb. 21 - Sunday, February 22, marks the
fiftieth wedding anniversary of two beloved Athenians, Dr.
and Mrs. John Atkinson HUNNICUTT, and as the date falls on
the Sabbath the anniversary will be quietly celebrated in the
home, 325 Milledge avenue where they have lived for forty-nine
years. Invitations have been mailed to friends out of town
and verbal invitations have been given to Athens friends, the
number invited necessarily limited owning to the day and in part
to the special sacredness of the anniversary itself. Only
the older citizens of the city will be present, special
associates of the doctor and the schoolmates and intimates of
his wife. It will not be a social function, but an
opportunity for those most closely identified with the large
family to come in and express greetings and offer
congratulations and best wishes.
Have Eight Children.
The HUNNICUTT home, an
attractive landmark of the city, is divided from the famous
Lucy COBB Institute only by a narrow street, and sets well
back from teh avenue in a grove of beautiful trees. The
rooms are large and beautifully furnished with exquisite taste.
Always it has been a place where hospitality abounded, the
hospitality of Christian hearts, alike to rich and poor, friend
and stranger. Here have been reared eight children, all
honored and charming people; six daughters and two sons; Mrs.
C. P. Wilcox of Cedartown; Mrs. E. J. Bailey of
Newman; Mrs. Stiles HOPKINS of Atlanta; Mrs. Charles
ECKFORD of Greenville, Misses Sarah and Mary
HUNNICUTT of Athens; Mr. Deupree HUNNICUTT and Dr.
John Atkinson HUNNICUTT, both of Athens.
Mrs. HUNNICUTT was Miss Mary Louise DEUPREE
of near Lexington and after attending the Morarian School of
Salem, N. C., was for a time a pupil of Miss Callie SOSNOWSKI,
who was president of the "Home School," a select girls' school
of Athens many years ago. Doctor HUNNICUTT is of
Virginia ancestry, though born in Coweta county, Georgia, and is
a gentleman of the "old school.".
So, on Sunday next this beloved couple will be much in
the minds of hundreds of friends in Athens and throughout the
State. The First Methodist church of the city where they
have worshipped for years, will be specially decorated with the
golden flowers of the springtime and the entire family with the
grandchildren will occupy a special section. |
