But their Is a romance connected with
this little announcement, and 1t goes TO
prove that time usually brings things
around as they should be. Daring the
years 1884, Wylis Q. Snail, than a lad
Of twenty years, and Mis- Rosa s, Smith, q
miss Of thirteen, ware In attendance upon
college, at Dsnville, Ky, Ahs at a young
ladies' seminary and he at school for
boys. They boarded in the same
house, and, as the months passed on
the acquaintance ripened into friepdship,
and from friendship, expanded into love.
They saw In each others eyes, the mir
rors Of the heart, the reflection Of the
other; the fame was mutual, nor did
they endeayor to conceal II. In 1874 At
the close Of the regular school term, they
parted, confidently expecting to meet
again In the fall, she returning TO her
home 10 Nicholasville, and he 10 his, near
Harrodsburg. But the fAies who hold in
The hands the slender threads which are
The reins and direct the course Of our
lives had decreed II other wise, and in the
fall, instead Of being sent back to. Dan
vile, she was sent 10 seminary farther
south, the consequences being that Tor
thirly.iour long years they saw nothing
of each other, and for thirty years never
heard the slightest word regarding the
whereabouts or condition Of either, or
that one or the other was still 10 the land
Of the living. In April, 1876, he was
married, and in July, Of the same year,
she was also welded 10 DR.. Mizner, .
prominent physician Of this locality.
Although he al that time lived In Dam
Vile, but twenty miles from Nicholas
vile, her home, he had neither seen or
heard anything Of her, nor knew Of her
marriage. 10 1S49 he moved west into
the state OF Missouri, and, his vile dying,
he married again his second vile dying
be married third time, and about five
years ago, in our beautiful Mount Mum
Gle, he laid his third wife. In 1874 Mr..
Snail's sister came west upon Q visit 10
him. She had accidentally met Mrs.
Miner, At her home in Nicholasyille, and
had told her regarding her old sweet
heart, Of whom she had heard nothing
for the thirty years. Arriving here abe
acquainted her brother Of the fact OF her
having met Mira. Miner. In 1875, the
October OF that year, Dr.. Miner died, and
some time after that Mr.. Snail wrote to
her. She replied, and q correspondence
continued until April, Of the present
year, when she came west, ostensibly
upon q visit TO relatives, but Ia reality to
see him. he met her ut the Union depot,
Kansas City, upon her arrival BY the
midnight train, and Notwithstanding the
long period intervening between the time
Of parting at school in 1874, together with
the changes In appearance which are the
inevitable consequence, the recognition
was mutual and complete, They had
exchanged photographs, which, OF course,
was the probable reason Of the ready and
immediate recognition, bnt no one will
doubt the fact that the photograph i'm
pressed and mirrored upon the heart Is
much the safer guide than that imprinted
by the sums rays upon abit Of cardboard.
After coming up TO this city and remain.
ing for abort time at The Planters
house, she made short visit to relatives
al Trenton, Mo, and returning TO Leaven-
worth, Mr.. Snail accompanied her TO
Kansas City, where, on the. 18th Of June
last, they were married. Mira. Snail then
proceeded 10 her home in Nicholasyille
10 make preparations for taking up her
permanent residence In Lsavenworth.
She will return in about three weeks.
Mrs. Snail, nee Mrs. Miner, has lived all
her life In Nicholasville, and 10 loved and
respected by her numberless friends for
her many virtues and accomplishments.
Mr.. Snail ia we'll known here, having
lived in the city for the past thir teen
years aud identified with the dry goods
emporium Of Frank Scott for many years.
Every one will wish him and his bride
long years Of unalloyed pleasure, with
cloudless skies and fair winds. 5as
