ARMoRY OF THE FIRST WEsr Via.
GINA REGIMEsT.-About three weeks
ago companies A, B and c, Of this city,
having deemed il advisable to cur a
pleasant and c%ommodious room for mill.
tary movements and meetings, appointed
committees TO repair and re.arrange the
old city hall. After due deliberation,
they had all the old partitions torn down
and in the south end OF the hall made
three rooms each 9xl5 feet, which are TO
be used for company arms. In the north
end Is the company meeting room, l7x20
feet, and the drill room, 27x90 feet.
The gun rooms will be fitted up
by the companies occupying them. The
meeting room and drill hall are both
irescoed 10 oil by E. F. Dardine, the pop.
ular fresco and scenic artist OF this city.
Mr.. Dardine has displayed great taste In
arranging the centre piece. 1t is almost
IS feet in diameter, and includes the Uni.
ted States coat Of arms and the coat OF
arms OF our own State. The walls are
paneled within three and a half feet Of
the floor, which is wainscoated. On the
whole, il is the fineat armory in this part
OF the country, and II n handsome room
will have anyefiecto on the boys they should
be filed 10 Overlooking with military en-
thusiasm. The next time VI see them
out they, no doubt, will have a heavier
step and a prouder bearing than ever.
We hope the Armory will be thrown open
to the public for a day or two, that the
citizens may see what the boys have been
doing,

A DsAPPoIsTEE BRIDEGRooM.-A
young cigar maker in the northern part
Of the city was TO have been married
last evening, but the ceremony did not
take place according TO programme. It
was all owing to the thoughtlessness Of
the expectant bridegroom. The young
lady in the case resides with her
aunt in this city. Her father is dead, and
her mother lives in Marshall county.
Some weeks since, while her
mother was in the city, the young
lady suggested 10 her lord the expediency
Of securing the necessary papers from
Uncle Robert Woods, the County Clerk,
but he declared there would be no trouble
about the matter, and paid no attention
to her suggestion. A number Of guests
were invited, and the usual preparations
made for the wedding festivities,
and yesterday the gentleman called at
the County Clerks Office for a
license. He was asked the lady's
age, and was told that as abe was not
Of age 1t would be necessary 10 have the
consent OF her parents. II was impossible
to secure the written consent OF the moth
er Immediately, and the wedding party
was indefinitely postponed. But the old
adage says "True love never does run
smooth" and we hope that the young
couple may soon become one, and that the
happiness they may experience in welded
life may more than make up for the an
noyance caused by Yesterdays misun.
