weddingl II IL ri.e that is always
being solemnized--no month OF the
year or day Of the week but has
borne its record testifying 10 this fact
-yeta Wedding is always something
new, and the last ono as intensely in
ieresting Us the first, aud possessing
all It's varied attractions. The man
or woman who can resist the fascina-
ton OF such scene must iudecd be
hard pressed for time, or sadly def
cient in that little commodity be-
queathel the human race by mother
Eve. The truth OF this assertion was
fully verified by the large party Of
friends who assembled OIL the morn
ing OF the I7lh inst, at tho residence
of Mr.. Joseph Daynham, OF this place,
TO witness The marriage OF his daugh-
ter Miss Rebecca to Mr.. William K.
Lacey. For some time we have look
cd forward TO the happy consumna-
ton OF this event so it is needless 10
say that the coming OF the bridal par
ty were moment OF interest. AT
precisely G o'clock the family entered
the parlor and Bro. Jas. bedford sd-
vanced to meet the bride and groom,
who entered Immediately after. The
ceremony was beautiful, impressive
and TO tho point. The groom, tall
aud commanding, was attired In a
faulllcss suit OF black, while the bride
wore an elegant mode colored poplin,
with train, with the usual accessories
Of such toilet, and was pronounced
by critical judges, as more charming
than ever before, the very importance
OF the moment adding greater
iirmuess 10 her bearing. With her
heart in the service she seemed who !.
ly unconscious OF tho fact that che Us
a bride, was the chief center OF At
traction. The groom, despite bis con-
stitutional timidily, having made the
final plunge seemed mo longer shiy-
ering ON the brink but came brave y
to the front, and il was a self-eyideut
fact that his was decidedly free will
offering and be felt very proud OF tue
lady Of his choice. Mr.. Lacy and
bride left immediately after Abe mar
marriage for their future home, nsar
Clarksville, Tenn, bearing With them
the best wishes OF all who knew
them. If Madam Rumor be correct
this Ia not to be All end Of ssatriinony
In our midst. II is slyly whispered
that certain elegant bachelor will
electrily the community soou by u
similar step. The Indy is beautiful,
attractive and much beloved.
Joys and sorrows are ever closely
allied. While the morning witness
ed a bridal scene in Lafayette mud oil
was replete with gladnes, just With
out the town there was sorrow and
weeping. On the evening of the 18th
inst, little Herburt Burk, grandson
of Mr., and Mrs. Buck White, passed
away. Having lost both parents, he
was doubly endeared to the hearts of
his grand parents, to whose care he
had been entrusted. We sympathize
with those bsreft, for we know how
desolate seems household whose
little lights are fed"
| "Therc's many IN empty cradle,
| There's many n vacant bed,
There's manga lonely bosom
| Whose JOY and light Is fed.
| For thick In every graveyard
The little nillocks lie
But every hillock represents
An angel In the sky"
