The wedding boom in these parts yes
ierday WAS hardly surpassed by the
Grant boom at Louisville. First, by
the Rev. Mr.. Washburn, ut the resi-
dence of the brides father, Mr.. Ham
Parish, near Millwood, Mr.. Hcgg to
Miss Mullie Parish; second, at the resi-
dence OF the groom, near l.itch1ield, by
Rev. Ii. +. Orr, Hon. j. w. Bozarth,
Ex-County Judge of Grayson county,
to Mrs. Nancy A. Long; third, in Har-
din county, KY, by Rev. -, Hon.
Judge Mcclure, present County Judge
of GraysOn county, To Miss Singleton, of
Hardin county, and twas not II good day
for weddings either. Judge Bozarth
was judge Of the county court Of this
county for the last eight years preceeti-
ing the last election and was a candi-
date for reelection To II third term, but
rs the American people Were not ready
for a third term of anything yet, the
| Hon. Judge was defeated by his affable
competitor Mr.. Mcclure, who being
an old bachelor he and Judge Bozarth
at once became competitions for another
/ position, more honorable than the first,
and one, too, to which they both could
be elected. The point of competition
was who should be elected first, and ~
/ the Judge had been beaten by Mcclure
once he determined he would not he
again, so he made an aggressive cam
paign, and come out on the home stretch
one hour ahead, and looking AZ fresh
and happy rs II frog in Lake Erie. Judge
Mcclure made a good race, and was
only distanced 10y the Hon. Judge on ac-
count of his greater experience in the
business. In fact Judge NJ. has done
himself great credit. The only obiec-
ton or criticism we hear, comes from
the fair sex, that the Judge did not pat
ronize home institutions, a. he went to
Hardin county to marry; but we think
the Judge excusable, as he could not he
satisfied with anything less than Il
Singleton, (spelt with big ). at that, and
as we have no fair ones in these part
possessing such huge proportions We
cannot blame the Judge for going wher,
he could be suited. We heartily con,
graduate all the happy parties upon tn,
fair prospects with which they set sail
upon the sea of welded bliss.
Our tobacco dealers have advanced
their prices considerably in the pas
week. Mr.. Beauchamp has given II,
high us 81 round for one crop this week
and Mr.. Bishop has given s. for OH,
crop, but they are not buying great
deal vet.
Rev. Mr.. Ruble, of Henderson, Ky.

ON Saturday night and Sunday. Mr.
Ruble is german, and hence does no

mIrition of all who heard him. w,
hope he will come this way again.
Rev's. Fullenlove and Daugherty, q
the Baptist Church, are conducting ;
series of meetings i'm this place. Con
gregations, tolerably good; the preach

however, that the meeting will increas,

There will be an oyster supper at on,
