Romantic Wedding.

A rather romantic wedding took
place at the Central-R ingo last Friday
afternoon; the contracting parties be.
ing Mr.. E. c. Buckner, of Browns.
vile, and Miss Susie Hord. Rev.
I. J. Gooch officiating. The wed
ding was private, only the near rela.
tives being present. The parties
were to have been married next
month, but the bride has been lying
dangerously i'll for some time and hel
death was looked for. It was the
wish of both that they be married al
once, so the groom could be near to
help nurse his lady love. 1t Twas
a touching ceremony-the bride on,
perhaps, her death bed being united
for better or worse, for health OF
sickness to her strong and loving
choice. We are glad to know the
bride is recovering.

A clothing firm of Fulton adver-
tises for girls to sew on pants. This
seems to US a most brilliant astronom-
ical display of gall. 1t looks very
much as though the tailors them
selves had lost confidence in the
staying qualities of their ready-made
garments and .mistrusted that they
might, In an unguarded moment, slip
off if they were not properly sewed
on. Besides this, when a man buys
a coat, vest, or a pair Of pants, he
don't feel exactly like hanging around
the store until some of the girls get
time to sew them on for him. Pants
are held in place by suspenders pas
sing from buttons located near the
base of the spinal column, and curry
ing gently over the shoulders, con-
Meeting with another through line OF
