| Welcome Dudly.-After nearly four
years of western life, Mr.. r. Dudley Dlgges
returned on Saturday last to MARY land, TO
visit this, his native county, accompanied by
western bride. Mr.. Digges left here in jan
nary 1880. 10 seek his fortune in the South,
but receiving an inducement from the west
he repaired to Terre Haute, Indiana, and
there engaged in rallrOading; and finally de-
termining 10 adopt the latter us his home, he
took unto himself one of the most highly &C
complisfed ladies OF his adopted State as a
better half which event occurred of the 9TH OF
| the Or, sent month. lriOF to his departure for
| the West, nearly his eRtIre time was spent in
and around this village, where he was much
admired by the old and loved by the young,
which was clearly demonstrated at St.
Thomas Church last Sunday, when the
young men of the congregation, with unanim-
| ity. numbering some fifteen or more started,
upon the announcement of his arrival, with
fastening footsteps to welcome him though
endeavoring to rival one an jther in claspng
his hand tie first. The changes of life nor
the yiscisitudes Of fortune have wrought no
change in the natural temper ament of the
man. Tie same pleasant and unsssuming
Dudley received them all with every evidence OF
ioy. His friends aud relatives have honcred him
and his happy consort with every attention
since their arrival, showing that though .ep-
arated for lengthy period, our people never
lose regard for a person who once held n
high place in their estimation. The happy
couple will remain in the county for week
and then retrace their steps again to heir dis
tant home, and back with them, AS went with
him four Years ago, the kindest solicitation
for their future welfare from many true and
warm hearted friend. We publish the fol-
