rived at last, the grandest event of
the season; l allude to the marriage
of Mr.. III. c. Hays to Miss Lura
Rogers, whose nuptials were cele
brated last Tuesday evening at nine
o'clock. the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. W. Weakly. Like
Jacob of old he served seven long
years for woman as lovely as
Rachel, but he can be congratula-
ted upon having better success than
did the oriental courtier at the pa
latial residence of princely Laban.
Like a true devotee at Cupid's
shrine he wooed, won, and led the
blushing bride, the ideal woman of
his heart, to the altar ofHymen where
the VOWS that make them one were
plighted. Two hearts beat as one,
two minds move in the same chan
mel as they enter lite's rugged path
way, amid the congratulations and
good wishes of a host of relatives
and friends who had assembled at
the residence of the brides mother
to witness the grand event. Next
morning the bridal party repaired
to the residence of the bridegroom
father, n. Hays, Esq, of the vicin-
ity of Campbellsville, where grand
reception was awaiting them, The
kind and genial hostess, Mrs. Jen.
ME Anderson, did everything in her
power TO render it a joyous occa-
sion. The tables groaned beneath
the weight of luxuries to which
everybody did honors with a vim.
The bride and bridegroom will
spend the honeymoon in visiting
their relatives. We wish them
much happiness along life's uneven
way, and may they steer their little
bark successfully across life's tenn
pestuous sea, and land safely upon
the other shore where the marital
vows will be pledged anew to spend
an eternity IN the sunshine of each
others presence.
We congratulate our friend G. c.
Vaughn upon his promotion to the
Office of deputy sheriff. AS he is
eminently qualified for the position,
the community may flatter itself on
being unusually favored. We hope
he may acquit himself honorably.
Our neighborhood has been in
quite a hubbub lately, but it is
hoped that quietude reigns once
more. A public school director in
this part of the moral vineyard
must have the patience of Job, the
eloquence of Demosthenes, the wis
dom of Solomon and the strength
of Samson to please the Hebronites
in the way of a public school. If l
had my way 1 would knock the
present school system sky high.
would introduce a compulsory sys
tenn of education, based upon an
equitable taxation of property, pub
lie and private. BY such a course
would bring the jewels to the sur
face that now lie hidden beneath the
crust of ignorance. 1 would pro
duce statesmen, lawyers, poets.
presidents, priests and kings, Of
material that under the present sys-
TEN will never be developed. Com
pare the statistics of our grand old
State with any country that has a
compulsory system of education
and ours will pass into insignifi-
canoe.
Mr.. Henry Gates and Miss Tee
Gilmore are on q visit to Alabama
this week. The young Americans
of this community are outstripping
the full fledged Yotaries of Cupid
in the art of gallantry.
If Britomartis will exclude Latin

Allow me to suggest to Incogni

the victim of his irony. Although
l thank him for the compliment he
pays me, yet l fail to see the prob
ability of a compromise on me.
The idea is perfectly preposterous.

cuse US for saying that nothing
short of the Presidential chair
would suit us! Talk about being a
representative or a governor when
the Presidential char is within my
grasp
We have had splendid rain here /
since the writing of my last letter.
Every thing seems considerably re-
freshed. Fodder pulling for the |
men and fruit drying for the women /
are the principal occupations now.
The health status of this communi

glad to know that it is getting no
worse. Aug. II. KULLY.
