So on last Sunday, the -16th instant, about 3 p. hi., while the miller was look ing up the road wondering who would bring the next "turn," he saw a buggy coming. When it arrived its occupants coetine1 a young couple who had de cided to leave their state of celibacy, cast their lot with the married class and live i happier life. After a thorough investigation his honor, J. Alonzo rown, N. P., finding that the prospec ive groom was at young man of ample n1eans to take cure of a wife in a time ike this, and that his intended bride new all about culinary affairs and ould well take care of his earnings, the erdict of the court was that Mr. Samuel - Pilgrim and Miss Ella Bryson should e made man and wife until death sepa ated them and that no one should inter ere with their pleasures unless it be Jncle Sam (the United States), and ven then in that event Samuel was to eturn back to Miss Ella when Uncle an got thru with him, provided he ived. After the above couple had taken heir leave, within a few minutes up rove a car with several people in it.

Rampey, 'ovided there were no objections by lyone when the oath was administered s the father of the bride was present id never contested the proceedings of e case the olciating officer, J. Alonzo rown, ordered the mortgage closed id gave the plaintifl', Mr. Nations, the ght to become a sole purchaser of the. 'operty in question. So it is now Mr. d Mrs. Nations, and of course Mr. tions reserves the right to forever ject to a second mortgage so long as lives. Ir. Nations is the son of Mr. and s.
