exhibition of the season took place at
the Green county National bank few
days ago. The pair were newly mar
ried, and were up from Arkansas on
their wedding trip. They sauntered

additional chair was Offer ed, which the
happy couple refused. BY way of a
change the lord took the chair and tho

used to be in, and the cargo was doing
its level best to kick the hole out.
