Editors OF the Register.
For the encouragement OF those who
are waiting and longing" am glad
to say that there have been issued dur.
ing the month just passed 9 marriage
licenses, against 3 for the month Of
May, 1878, and as a further encourages
ment to those who have waited and
longed" good while, l may say that
the ages of the lucky ones vary from
l6 to d, and while in this connection
l will mention for the benefit Of the un-
initiated that it Is very important for
fsller to know a thing or two when be
wants one Of them things, for instance,
young and trembling lover called on
our accommodating clerk for pair
OF license" the other day, In filling up
the license it was necessary to know
where the coming groom was born
he said he was born in Ohio, but dis
remembered the county, as he was
very young at the time. Luke very
kindly allowed the forgetful youth to
take the "pair"-reminding him that
the next time he was born, he must re-
COLLECT the place. He promised he would
if he was there.
I am informed that that "Pin" OF
Randolph, OF which spoke in my last,
refuses to be stuck in the Senate. Well
l have no objection, but do object to
Pins saying that the people OF Randolph
and Tucker will refuse to 90 into the
Senatorial Convention unless they are
assured the nominee from one OF those
counties. The Democracy OF those two
counties are not madel OF
that kind OF base material,
or | am mistaken in them. IT that is
the game they propose playing, let's
have no convention, but let Randolph
aud Tucker name their man. but Sor
Heavens sake, gentlemen, don't name
dozen, and leave US to decide which
you will have. We are fully aware
of the abundance Of Senatorial heads
in those counties, but not all being on
the same shoulders, which is unfortun-
ste) they can not all be utilized at pres.
emit, unless it be in places where only
an ordinary amount OF ability is re-
quired.
Hosts Of friends and admirers OF Capt.
T. A. Bradford, will regret to learn Of
his refusal to be . candidate for re-
election to the House OF Delegates |;
pressing and increasing professional
business compel this step. Barbour
has never had more faithful, earnest,
and honest representative than Capt.
Bradford.
The excellent Postmaster at Meadow
Vile is in a dilemma. He says the pack
age OF REGlsTER's coming to that office
is go large that he cant get it out OF
the mail bags without great trouble.
He wants the REGISTER to reduce the
size of the package, or the government
to increase the size OF the pouch.
The whooping cough seems to be all
the 90, hardly family without first
class case OF it. Several deaths among
the children have occurred.

were seen at Mesdowville a short
time ago, frightening couple Of ladies

in that neighborhood are very easily
quieted now.

Stove at your late drawing, few days

prize, and he we'll deserved success
No truer man, or stauncher Democra,
lives. He never bolts a nomination
or scratches ticket. he has a warm
place in his heart for the REGISTER.
The marriage Of Nellie Grant didn'
excite us at this distance. Some OF oul
Young ladies envied her the rich gifts
that showered to her from friends as 9
token Of their regard for-well fol
federal patronage. No doubt thu
marriage will bring Britain and Ameri'
ca into close connection, and some fina
results may follow.
