Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-10-19


ponents for Commissioner by hand
some majority, and doubtless would
have done so had there been twice as
many Of them.
The ceremonies at the wedding
last Thursday evening reminded me
very much of the funeral sermon
that was delivered at my marriage.
The Democracy OF Tippecanoe-
town, as well as OF this place, had
their jollification rather too soon, as
before their fires had gone out, the
news came that we had elected nine
out of the thirteen Congressman.
Joseph W. Davis, jr. and B. B.
Parks had some sharp talk about
Davis not supporting wilkins for
trustee, when he had previously
pledged himself to do so, but Joe,
having much respect for his eyes,
skinned out to prevent designation.
Our marshal permitted lady to
take her hog out OF the pound on a
promise that she would pay the pen
atty, but when he called at her house
for it, she slammed the door In his
face.
Had the Democracy OF Center
township kept their voters at home,
and not sent them up here, they
might have elected their trustee, but
as it is they lost Edwards and failed
to defeat Wilkins.
While the newly married Bour-
bonites were waiting for the train
last Thursday night, friend pointed
out Miss Gibson Of Plymouth, to us
at the same time remarking that DIR.
b. W. Parks and Miss G.. would soon
make match"
There are over fifty first presi-
dental Republican voters in this
township, while the number Of DEM
ocrats of this class does not exceed
twenty.
Harmon Baylor says that the
fellows from this place who attended
the late Reunion OF rebels and Dem
ocrats at Indianapolis, told him that
they actually marched in the process
sion as soldiers.
Il have just purchased a pair Of
brass knuckles, dirk and revolver,
and from this on will prosecute the
campaign on the Louisiana plan"
John Snepp and Sallie Richie
were married last Thursday evening,
at Plymouth. The match was not
unexpected, as they had been quite
ultimate for several months.
The Farmers Club will meet in
Matchett's hall next Friday evening
to consider the propriety Of moving
the place OF holding the fair closer to
town.
1T was currently reported that o.
P. Green would be married to Miss
Bybee living four miles in the coun-
try, ON yesterday, but as it failed to
come of, we suppose it was post
poned.
The weddings we spoke Of last
week came Off sooner than we had
anticipated, and proved to be, as be-
fore stated, the Rrandest OF the sea-
son. Elder McElwee officiated on
the occasion, aud the entire affair
was free to all who wished to witness
the ceremonies. The weddings-for
there were two--came of at half past
six O'Clock, Thursday evening, in the
M. E. Church. which was filed with
spectators, and then many failed to
obtain an entrance. AS Miss Neck
played march on the organ. John
w. Parks and Miss Sallie Mozingo,
followed by Joseph Erwin and Miss
Lizzie Kaiser, came into the church
and walked down the east aisle to
the rostrum. John and Sallie were
first united in holy wedlock, after
which q double and twisted knot
was tied for the preservation of Joseph
and Lizzie. As the parties to be
married stood with their backs to the
audience, and as 1 sat in the back
part Of the church, 1t Is impossible
for me to describe their clothing or
tell whether they blushed or not. But
the uneasy movements OF the boys
indicated that minutes were hours to
them. When the ceremonies were end
ed the newly married parties returned
to the houses OF the brides where they
received. congratulations from their
respective friends: but as / was not
fortunate enough to be among the
favored ores, I had to loaf around
town until the wedding parties came
to the depot to take the eight o'clock
train going eastward. The newly
married parties went to Fit. Wayne,
where they remained over night, af-
ter which Mr.. and Mrs. Parks started
for the Centennial and Mr.. and Mrs.
Erwin for the Chicago Exposition.
The latter couple returned Saturday,
and the other will return I'm two
weeks.
