Communicated.

Friend John.
In your last issue, you gave the age
of our town; fixing her birth in 1916.
Now this may pass with the unin-
itiated, but with an old salt, you can't
pass OF Hartford for n miss in her
teens, for Paddy says, "she is ould if
she is little" Almost century ago,
old Mike Myers seated himself on a
log in our public square, and said to
his friend, II shay Shon how dish
down does improve, | knows wen you
might pc here all tay, and get noting,
but now | gifts dish quart of methiglin
and dish pig ginger cake, all for one
noin penche." And we seem to have
fought II out on that line ever since, for
we have any amount of eating saloons,
groceries, back rooms and dark corners
where we can imbibe, and but one lit
tie church, not paid for, no seminary
of learning, no factories or manufacture
ing establishments, and no get-up, or
energy in our citizens-in fact nothing
doing to develop our unbounded re-
sources ofwealth and prosperity. Can't
we change the programme?
But as to the age of our town. The
tract of land on which it stands was en-
tered by Gabriel Madison'5 agent in
1872, the town WAS laid off and settled
about the year 1885, and on the 3rd of
July 1899 it was established as the
county seat of Ohio county, in 1908
the Legislature passed an act fixing the
boundaries of the town, and providing
for the election of trustees &c. 1t was
perhaps in 1916, that the trustees or
County Court appointed Moses Cum
mings commissioner to resurvey and
have plat of the town recorded, which
plat, as now recorded, is our only evil
dence of boundary; which is every day
becoming more uncertain for the want
of some fixed and permanent mOnu-
ment, for a starting point to make
survey, some permanent stone or pill
lar ought to have been erected before
the corner trees and all other evidences
had disappeared. A great defect in
our present town plat is, that it does
not give the name or width of the
streets between the out lots. This
was done in the original plat, a copy
of which | have seen; which named
the streets and gave their width,
which were each City feet.

Friday Nights Dance.

another very enjoyable dance, which
came off at the Hartford House. There
was about fifteen Or twenty couple as
sembled, all of whom seemed to enjoy
the evening to their utmost. The
ladies were looking perfectly beautiful,
and the gentlemen wore their best
looks of course. The dancing contin-
ued until the "wee small hours of
morn" with nothing to mar the pleas
ure of the evening save a little too
much "waltz water" being taken on.

Hartford iiOuse.


Last Saturday evening, little be.
fore dark, we retired to our room in the
Hartford House, and had set our mag
mary powers to work IN order to have
something for our readers to peruse
to-day, when messenger came flying
up the steps and demanded our pres,
ence down stairs. Without stopping
for coat or hat, we fastened down, and
found wedding to be on the taps. -
This information knocked what our
imagination had drawn upon into
eternity, and set us somewhat at case.
We Immediately sought an interview
with the groom, and found that he and
his intended were from Davies county,
Vanover precinct, and that marrying
was their intention, and marry they
would. Their names are Thomas
Fulkerson and Miss f. NJ. Howard,
being accompanied by John Fulllcrson
and Thomas White. Shortly after
their arrival, County Clerk Sam X.
Cox was found and the proper papers
procured, whereupon Rev. w. w.
Cook was sent for, who united them
in wedlock, in the parlor of the Hart
ford House, in the presence of at least
fifty or seventy-fve witnesses, after
which they were invited to the dining
room, where awaited them one of the
incest suppers We ever saw to be got
ten up on so short notice.
Supper being through with, the pro-
prietor of the Hartford House, Mr..
w. T. King, who has an eye to pleas
ure and fun as well as business,
thought that the shaking of the eight
fantastic" would not be at all out of
order, so proposed, and then indeed
the fun commenced. In less than no
time the musicians were upon the floor,
and in the twinkling of an eye a set
was formed and the dancing com.
menced, which was INDUCED in until
Sunday morning was about breaking
in upon us, when the crowd dispersed
and the happy bride and groom re
tired to the bridal chamber for the
night.
Mr.. Fulkerson is a young mar
Of good appearance, and one whom WI
would pronounce to be a gentleman il
every sense Of the word. The bride
Miss Howard, is a perfect little beauty
and there are but few ladies who pos
sess rarer personal charms. He
movements are as graceful as a queen
while her disposition and agreeable
manners are such as will win the esteem
of all.
