/, is everywhere the mountains which
control the features OF the landscape.
Wherever wave in the ear;h's crust has
been arrested after its upheaval. i, is the
height and structure of the mountain
range thus established which determine
the lines where running water shall
channel its way to the sea, following OF,
valley systems, wearing away, building
up and moulding the surface OF the land
into all its variety and completely OF
contour. The same mountain barrier
directs the air currents. orders the ram
fall, and brings back the clouds from the
sea to replenish the fountains Of the
streams which flow forever from It's .ianks.
II is the degraded rock of the highlands,
too, which furnishes soil TO cover the
earth's nakedness and closhe i, with YER

natural scenery, even to its minor details,
displays the dominating force Of noun
tain masses, although they may be a
thousand miles away. But i, is in the
mountains themselves where the hzndi-
work Of natures elemental forces is
visible and comprehensively manifested.
Here where food and Gre and fros; have
been working their win throughout all
geologic time to rear and ruin is found the
most complete embodiment, a, once OF
infinite might and absolute repose.
Vast and silent and strong, the great
mountains are the chosen hcme Of the
sublime in nature. Along the All al
ridges of the continents the grea, rock
masses which furnish the grandes, and
most impressive scenery are naturally
looked for. Our own Rocky Mountain

TRENTON LETTER.
A SOCIETY EVENT.

There are some who always discuss
marriage frem a worldly point o.:
view. To those the eliminating Of the
happy event OF, Nov. 9Th, must be pro-
nounced "a good match" Those who
look deeper and recognize the true
worth of the man and the superior
excellence of the woman, do not
doubt that the marriage of Mr.. Frank
Walton to Miss Charlie Ware will be
productive of the greatest happiness.
The home of the BRIDES hospitable
father was thrown open to the init
mate friends and relatives of the con-
tracing parties, and joy reigned SUI
preme during the whole evening. TO
the strains of the wedding march, so
delightfully."- discoursed by Miss Cab
aniss, the bridal party entered the
room in the following order: Mr..
Golladay with Miss Annie Ware,
who wore a beautiful costume of sat
in and swans down Mr.. Byars
with Miss Annie Dickinson, in a
lovely nuns yelling and silk. Mr..
Day with Miss Lizzie Ware, the only
sister of the bride, and who bids fair
to surpass her in beauty when years
have changed her childish face into
womanly loveliness. Mr.. Fort en-
tered with Miss Mamie Gooch, at
tired in a dress of satin and lace OF
great beauty. Last came the bride
in dress of the costliest silk and
lace, her sweet serious face, half hid
den by the veil which trailed to the
hem of her robe. Thc-only orna-
ments were full set of diamonds, a
present from the devoted father. The
groom and g;oomsmen wore the reg
ulatiOn suit of black and were with
out gloves. The ceremony was pro-
nounced by Rev. Mr.. Lockett in 50
impressive manner that 10 one
present failed to look on it, as not
only a civil contract but as a holy or
dinance. Supper was then an
nounced, but here words failmc 4
vcritable feast of the gods, presided
over by the sklllful household fairy,
Miss Lizzie Fort. The presents We're
numerous and very handsome,
amounting to many hundreds in val
ne. \ reception was given the next
evening at the home of DR.. Walton.
This cqualed the previous occasion in
style and elegance.
The bride has been an attractive
factor i'll society since her debut,
and few are they who have moi been
imprt ssed by her face and manners.
1t is beautiful thought that from
being gay society woman she may
subside into the demurest of ma
irons, sinking her identity utterly and
forever in the future of her chosen
king. Marriage, ''the blight oil
bloom of all mems happiness" car
not fail to be to them productive OF
the greatest good that comes to us

world to come. A GUEST.

Warehousemen VS.. Changers.

EDITOR South KENTUCKIAN:
In your "plain statement of facts
in your issue Of Nov. 9th, you state
some things from inadvertency or
want Of proper information which
are not facts. These errors are of lit
tie consequence and doubtless wholly
unintentional Oh your part. We do
not make public the minutia of our
business transactions, and you as an
outsider could not have access to the
facts. The Changers did not ''risc up
in arms, so to speak" nor did they
make any formal demand for a re-
bate" The warehouscmen had made
their own terms for selling tobacco
which they had perfect right 10 do.
And had also a paper resolution tina t
''no granger should be employed as
agent for any warehouse" When
the Committees from the two
oranges met, as usual, to give an OPP
portumity for (not to demand) propo-
sitions for the grange business, with
the exception of one warehouse, they
did not give the Committee an oppor-
tunity for any conference, simple
statements Were left with their sub
ordinates that they desired to make
no propositions. This of course had
to be accepted by the Commit
tee as they had no desire to force the
grange business upon those unwilling
to receive it, on any terms which
could be mutually agreed upon.
This ended the matter so far as the
warehousemen of IIopkinsvillc were
concerned. Communication was held
with warehouses in other places. A
number of propositions were received.
And after due consideration a salts
factory arrangement was made with
the Planters House of Louisville, Ky.
TO sell our tobacco. Not, however,
upon any such terms as you state.
If Mr.. Phelps visit to IIopkinsvillc
had any significance so far as grin; e
matters were concerned we had no
knowledge Ct it. All the propos'-
tons from Louisville had already
been received and acted upon.
This whole matter should be looked
upon as plain business transaction.
Those who make produce surely
have the right to seek that market
which they deem best for their inter-
est. Who has any right to complain
If the warehouscmen Of IIopkinsvillc
fail to get the Grange tobacco il is
their own fault. And if it be true,
as stated by one of their number, that
they have been selling at loss, they
should not desire il. We have never
asked nor desired anyone to do bust
ness for us at price that would not
pay fair remuneration for the SER
vices rendered. But farmers cannot
fairly be expected to pay remunera-

tive prices to double the number of
persons needed to do their business.
1t is also true, that while we seek to
do the best we can for ourselves, we
should try TO do as little harm to
others as possible. We ought and
certainly do feel thankful to the
warehousemen and the editors for
their timely warnings and advice.
But having passed the age for guar
dianship and feeling amply able to
take care of ourselves, we beg to be
allowed peaceably to have our own
way.
The Grange teaches no principles
we need be ashamed of. Our decla-
ration of purposes is as fine in senti-
ment, as exalted in purpose and as
free from error as any similar unin-
spired declaration promulgated fol
the guidance of men.

principles of our order, and never
forget your obligation to be true and
