- _ A Romantic Marriage. ? V
Mr. W\ G. Flagler is receiving the
congratulations of his friends on his j F
marriage to Miss Marian Bair, which
interesting event took place on Thurs- ?
day, the 15th *inst., in Charleston, k
The circumstances attending the af-! 1
fair are quite romantic. Several j k
years ago Mr. Flagler met Miss Buir 1
in Orangeburg county, S. C., and a ^
mutual attachment was formed. a
Then the young lady's family moved
to Idaho Territory and the two were
I separated by almost the width of the 3
continent. But "love finds a way" v
and so it proved in this case. j
When the wedding day was fixed ?
Mis.- Bair bade her family adieu and ]
with full confidence in her fiancee \
set out upon the long journey of t
over 2.000 miles to meet him Charles- ).
tot. Arriving there she found him
awaiting her and a quiet wedding c
ensued. The day after the marriage

Mr. Cooke Withdraw*.
Editor County Record:
Please allow me space in your
paper to say to the voters of the
county that I will net be u candidate
for the legislature at the approaching
primary. I appreciate the honor
sought to be conferred on me by
those who have kindly promised me
their support, and sincerely regret
that business considerations, as well
as other obvious reasons, render it inexpedient
for me to stand for election
at this time. It is very probable that
I will be absent from the county the
greater portion of the time after this
year, and would not be in position to
render my constituents as efficient
service as I would desire in the event
of ray election, i therefore deem it
my duty to withdraw from the race.
Very respectfully,
W. Eugene Cooke.
