A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.-In last
weeks GAZETTE we gave notice of the
marriage of Prot. Lawrance Rust and
Miss Evelyn Judkin at Danville, Ken
lucky. We find in the Danville (ky.)
.Aduocae the following account of the
ceremonies attendant upon the occasion
which We publish for the pleasure Of the
many friends of both parties located
here. Miss Judkin spent some time in
Lexington about a year ago at her grand
fathers Judge Anderson) and had a
host of friends and admirers in this
community. Prof Rust is an A. Nj. of
our University, and devoted friend
of her interests. The AdUocnie says:
'On yesterday morning the marriage
of LAWRENCE RUST, A. NJ, Professor Of
Greek and Literature in Kenyon College,
Ohio, and Miss EVELYN JuDxIN, daugb-
ter of Rev. w. +. Judkin, ID. d., Of this
city, occurred at the First Presbyterian
Church. The Church doors were thrown
open 10 whoever desired to witness the
ceremony. A large crowd assembled,
and at 80, the ushers, Messrs. w. S.
Rowland and A. b. Robertson, announ-
ced the approach of the bridal party,
made up as follows: Atiendonfs-Mr.
Harry Hits, of Ohio, and Miss Julia
Judkin Judge Desha, of Cyanthiana,
and Miss Halle Robertson Col. J. /.
Ford and Miss Mary Robertson; Mr.. L.
ID. Fackler. and Miss Virginia Grigsby;
Mr.. &. G. Fox and Miss Minnie Mellow
ell. The church adornments were not
only beautiful, but exquisite. They were
designed by some mastcr-haud. Arrang-
ed in artistic order, the pulpit was like
hot house of rarest flowers. The bride
and groom stood under transverse arch
of evergreens with a marriage bell aus
pended in the center. The church was
darkened. The ceremony was, perhaps
the most solemn and beautiful ever pro-
nounced in Danville. How could it be
otherwise! 1t was tender-hearted faith
err giving away a loved and favorite
daus hter in the holy bonds of matrimo-
ny. No wonder his invocations and
benedictions touched the vast audience
to tears May the pathway through life
of the welded pair be as bright and
cheerful as the cloudless morn on which
they joined their hearts aud hands and
destiny. The bride and groom took the
train tor Louisville and will go thence
to New York. Miss Judkin is beau
tiful and accomplished young lady and
is greatly beloved in this community
where the family is held in such high
esteem. The bridal presents were num-
erous, and prehaps the most highly ap-
preciated was service of solid silver
presented by the ladies Of tie church of
which the father is the beloved pastor"

Boteler, little son Of MIR. A. X. Bote-

Il. Boteler, Of this county, narrowly es'
capped drowning, at Lynchburg, Va,
one day last week. In company with
his uncle, NJ. j. NJ. Booker, Jr., he was
walking on the bridge of the Midland
railroad above the city which crosses
the canal and river. The bridge being
without a door, in some way he fell
through into the canal, a distance OF
probably thirty feet. The water is deep,
and before he could be gotten out life
was nearly extinct. A man who hap
pened to be near by in boat finally
rescued him, and the proper remedies
being applied he was soon recuscitated.
A little longer delay in rescuing him
would have proved fatal.

pa An OLD WoMAN.-We have an
old colored woman residing in this
town, named Winnie Shelton, who has
arrived at the age of ITO years. She
was born in the County of King and
Queen, Virginia, about the year 1867,
and came to this town some time after
the close of the Revolutionary war.
Her memory is remarkable good as well
as her health, and walks about the
house with considerable activity for one
of her age. Her eyesight is also very
good, and she talks fuently in calling
up recollections Of the Revolutionary
war. Her husband, who died some
years ago, in this town, at the age of
over a hundred years, and known as
"Old Rickar," was a BODY servant to
Gen. Green of Revolutionary war fame.
aunt Winnie" remembers many cir
cumstances which occurred under her
observation during the war of the Rev
olu,ion. She, when but child, trav-
eled with the army on several occasions,
and saw Gen. Washington personally
in command of his army. Many slaves
were sent by their owners with the
army for protection from the British,
and she was among the number. She
is certainly remarkable woman, and
her descriptions of the Golden time" are
very interesting.

Neglected Customers.

The farmer as well as the business
man usually aims to please the whims
and supply the wants of his custom
ers. He will face the toughest blasts
of winters storm to deliver roll
of butter and dozen eggs to the
storekeeper at the station, because
the latter depends upon his weekly
supply, and he does not want to dis
appoint an old customer. In any
other direction or for any other pur-
pose, he would not stand such expos.
ure and perform such labor for double
the amount the articles will bring
In this he is actuated by the same
motives as the city merchant who
neglects his family and other affairs
for day or an evening to contribute
to the enjoyment of a good customer
from distant town. There are vari
GUS reasons for this course towards
customers, and they are not all sci
fish. 1t is in fact a mark of gratitude
and expression of good feeling
Chiefly, however, it Is prudent fore
thought of the possible advantages
of a continuance of their business
relations as producer and purchaser
The farmer who is careful to cultivate
the good will of his customers, by
delivering his gram in good order
and at the time appointed, is apt to
have good customers, secure the
best price for his products, and pros
per in his business.
Yet we have often had occasion to
notice frequent cases of fragrant neg.
lect on the part of farmers to THEN
best customers. Every farmer has
one customer, at least, with whom he
must always deal. If they Lave a
falling out, as is frequently tho case
their relations are such that they can
not quit and go different ways; bu,
must go on i'll state of chronic dis
agreement and mutual swindling
which it is in the farmers power tc
easily remove, for that customer is
himself. He has tastes to be graft
fled, rights to be respected, and inter
ests to be consulted. Yet how often
are they actually outraged and VIC
lated? How seldom does he CRAFTY
his tastes for recreation, how otter
violates his right to respectable cloth
ing, and reasonable respite from
labor? This is not an evil due tc
monopoly or to be remedied by the
concerted action of the grange. Il
is almost an individual matter, and
can only be cured by individual eff
fort. The farmer should look at him
self and his family as his own chic
customers, who should have value re
ceived for their money and time, anG
live in comfort, health and content
ment, and he may be sure that sucl
treatment of these customers will re
suit in large and profitable returns.-

Living Through the Years Again.

In certain farmhouse twenty
years ago, great blank book was
kept and Tabled "Home Journal
Every night some one made an entry
in it. Father sat down the sale of
the calves, or mother the cutting of
the baby's cye-tooth; orperhaps John
ny wrote full account of the sleigh
ing party last evening, or Rob the
proceedings of the Phi Beta Club, or
Tom scrawled "tried my new gum
Bully. Shot into the fence and John
sons old cat" On towards the mid
die of the book there was an entry
of Jenny's marriage, and one of the
younger girls had added description
of the bridesmaids dresses, and long
afterward there was written, "This
day father died." in Bob's trembling
hand. There was a blank of many
months after that. But nothing could
have served better to bind that fami-
ly of headstrong boys and girls to-
gether than the keeping OF this book.
They come back to the old home
stead now, men and women with
grizzled hair, to see their mother, who
is still living, and to turn over its
pages reverently, with many hearty
laugh or the tears coming into their
eyes. 1t is their childhood come
back again in visible shape.

Does Farming Pay?

We extract the following from a
contribution in the Germdntown
Telegraph. The views advanced
are not without force. "The idea
generally obtains that money is the
only real or desirable compensation
for physical or mental labor, or for
the cares and anxieties incident to
human life, and hence when we
make the grand object of life and
fail to realize our ideal, we are too
apt to think our efforts failure.
l well remember more than forty
years ago hearing a man-who own
ed a good farm, large stock of
cattle, horses and sheep, had reared
a large family of children and was
free from debt-grumbling to my
father about the hard times, saying
that it cost him so much to live that
he couldn't make anything. l we'll
recollect the peculiar expression that
broke over his countenance as he, evil
IDENTIFY for the first time, got the idea
through his wool that his living was
worth anything, when my father
asked him if he didn't SNAKE" his
living. This man had enjoyed the
good things of life in profusion, pro-
tected by the laws, surrounded by
social privileges, no grepings for to-
day or anXieties for tomorrow, yet
all these counted as nothing. If a
small balance was found upon the
right side of the ledger, 1T was just
so much "made" by living through
the year; but if the balance was on
the wrong side, he had not only liv-
ed in vain, but as Artemus Ward
said of Jeff. Davis, that it would
have been SO much money in his
pocket if he had died last year.
If we are to take this view, l grant
we shall realize rather small "pay"
for farming operations generally
But is money all, or even the most
desirable compensation? The value
of our privileges would be better ap-
preciated if deprived of them
Robinson Crusoe was not satisfied
when he owned all the land that
joined him. "Our lines have fallen
to us in pleasant places" Almost
every hillside and valley is dotted
with Its school houses; in nearly
every hamlet the church spiro points
heavenward; colleges and seminaries
are endowed in every State; books
and newspapers abound; every COM
munity has its associations or organ
ization for mutual assistance and in
struction, such as libraries, lyceums,
farmers clubs, agricultural societies,
&C.; the whole backed up by healthy
public sentiment that allows each in
dividual to stand upon his own merits
and pass for what he Is worth, rem
dering these privileges available
alike to all, rich or poor.
