SIMPLIFYING THE MATTER.-The small
number Of marriages in Staunton last year
considering the size of the population,
glieved many of our best citizens. We see
in the legislative proceedings of last week
proposition to amend section chap. 1914
Of the code in regard to marriages, which,
as it does away with the expense of the
minister's fee may improve business In
Staunton this year. The proposed amend
ment reads:
''Marriages between persons belonging
to any reli ious denomination or society
which has no ordained minister may be
solsmniZed by the persons and in the man.
ner prescribed by and practiced in any such
society. But where the persons to be mar
red so elect. it may be solemnized by each
of said persons taking the other by the
hand and declaring, in the presence Of at
least six witnesses, all then present, that
they take each other to be husband and
wife. The license, with an endorsement
thereon, that said marriages had been sol
emnlzed, signed by the parties and attes-
ted by said witnesses. shall be returned to
the court from which it issued, and the
clerk thereof shall enter on his record
married in the presence Of witnesses. ,"

child Of Mrs, B. L. Nickerson of Balti-

S. Nickerson, was a well known hotel pro-
prietor in Savannah and we believe else
where in the South, died at Mozart in this
city on Saturday last. She had, with her
mother, spentlast winter here and was very
popular in society. and few weeks age
returned in feeble health. She was very
young, hardly twenty, and her illness ex-
excited general interest. as her death
caused a deep regret among all who knew
her. Her remains were taken to Balti-
more Monday for interment accompanied
by Mr.. W. Z. Tuck and Mr.. A. F. Rob
ertson of this city. The Baltimore Anne

Miss Nickerson was young lady of rare
Attachments aud many beautiful traits Of
character, who was extensively known
here in fillmore, where she received her
education and spent much of her time.

the Carrollton Hotel she won many friends
by her bright and engaging social quail
ties. Besides beauty and graceful man

peer in companionship of some of the
wisest heads, so that men Of letters and
accomplished women enjoyed her society
as much as those who were even younger
than herself. For some time past she had
been an invalid, and she went to Virginia
hoping to get better health, but in all her
sufferings, and even when she knew that
she was about to die, she was possessed Of
true Christian fortitude. and was cheerful
and resigned to the very last. Her last
expression. after telling how death had no
terrors for her and that she had resigned
herself to GOD, was one of regret that l,er
mother would he left alone. Last night
the body was brought to Baltimore, and
tomorrow the funeral will take place from
the Carrollton Hotel, according to the
rites of the Episcopal church, Of which
Miss NickersOn Was a member.
