The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1879-12-03

A protracted meeting closed at
Pond Run church, near RockpOrt, last
Sunday night after continuance of Is
days. Rev. w. w. Williams, of Rock
port, conducted the meeting, which re-
suited i'm II conversions and IL addi-
tions to the church. Eleven were bap-
tised i'm Green river near Torrence's old
mill last Sunday. Rev. Mr.. Williams
is spoken of as an excellent preacher.
Somebody in Equality neighbor-
hood has very bad opinion of a "styl-
ish young gent" and would warn the
"ladies" of his badness. A very per-
sOnal and curious letter was received by
us for publication, but 1t had no name
to it. We do not publish anonymous
communications of any sort, and none
of the kind above even when the name
is given. We have quit doing neigh
borhood quarrelling for other people.
We have all of that sort of work we
want OH our own account.
-MARRIED-At the residence of the
bride, at Island Station, Mclean coun-
ty, Ky, on Wednesday, November 10Th,
1879, by Rev. w. p. Bennett, DIR. Will
liams to Miss Alice Cofiman. The bride
is sister to Hon. A. Il. CoffIman Of this
county, and an aunt of the popular clerk
i'm Anderson's Bazaar, Of this place.
The bridal party left OH Owensboro train
for KnOttsville, Davies county, where
the groom's father lives and where an
elegant reception was given them on
Saturday last.
"A man with new horse came to
town last Monday and aimed to drive
through town to the public hitching
square, but it was no go. That horse
showed him new trick and walked
right into Fields livery stable. He had
been there before, and had been so well
fed and curried that he was determined
to go again. When the horse was
brought out in the evening so slick and
shiny the owner was well pleased, and
said he would quit the barbarous way
of hitching out i'm the cold all day when
he came to town herafter, and would
leave his horse with Field.
On Saturday evening, Nov. 18th,
the Misses Katie and Lulie King gave
an entertainment to their friends
being their 10th birthday. Cards were
issued to their young friends, and the
little boys sent their compliments to the
little girls of town and accompanied
them after the manner of grOwn-up
folks. The occasion was one of special
delight to the unusually large assembly.
As the children We're the chief perform
ers, of course all their mammas were
present to care for and delight in the
little fairies i'm their excellent sOiree.
We cannot call a single name without
giving the entire list because all did so
nobly their part. The little ladies were
elegantly attired i'm suitable costumes,
and the ease and grace with which they
called forth universal admiration. The
faces of the mothers present glowed
with natural pride, and the grown-up
young ladies looked envious of their
little sisters. The new dining hall was
opened for the adult dancers. The Hart
ford House is a success, not alone in
catering to the appetite of the epicure,
but also as host and hostess on occa-
sions like the one on Saturday night.
Among the young lady visitors present,
we mention the name of Miss Fannie
BrothertOn, of OwensbOrO.
The usual quietness of Hartford So
ciety was broken last Friday night by
the unexpected departure of two of our
citizens, on matrimony bent. Mr.. j.
Edwin Rowe, one of our active and
handsome young attorneys, and Miss
Loga M. Walker, daughter of Hon. f.
ID. Walker, well-known to everybody
i'm this section of the country, having
concluded to share life's joys and sOr-
rows i'm common, sought the land of free
dom i'm the shades of night. 1t is the
old, old story, repeated since the days OF
Cain, who, We believe was the first man
to RUNAWAY to get married, of OPP
posed love. Better try to stop the roar
ing cataract of Niagara or cause the
sun to veil his face in sadness than t.
dispute the dictatiOns of love when it il
deep and mutual. The party, reached
OwensbOrO about ii o'clock on Friday
night, put up at hotel until the steam.
er came, bound for Evansville. They
were married on board the packet Dick
Johnson, ut noon, Saturday, Nov. 10Th
by Rev. F. c. Iglehart, Pastor of TRIM
ty NJ. E. Church, Evansville. Mis-
Loga was one Of Hartford's favorit,
young ladies, and Mr.. Rowe is of on,
of the most numerous and best familie,
of the county. We congratulate ou
young friends OH this-to them happ,
contamination of their first love, ant
shall be disappointed If they do not liv'
happily together. They reached HON,
on Sunday afternoon. May they liv'
long and realize life's brightest hope, i
the wish of the HERALD.
New Firm.
