A Big Wedding at Pilot Knob.

MARRIED.-At the residence of the bride'
parents, by the Reverend Schmukel, Mr.
| EDWIN WATERS to Miss MARY AMELUNG
Thursday, the 18th of February, 1885, at s
O'Clock P. NJ.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Christian Amelung, the
parents of the fa:r Mary, received the friends
and relatives of the bride and groom, who
were not few, assure you.
| After the general salutation, they were
| conducted to the room where the presents
were deposited. A huge table, erected, 1
suppose, for the occasion, contained a great
many very elegant presents, which, for lack
of space, l shall omit to name seriatim.
However, they were numerous, costly and
appropriate-the useful and ornamental hap
pity combined.
In due time dinner was announced, and q
whole regiment -with their wives and
daughters and sweethearts-filed into the
spacious dining-room. Mrs. Amelung is
noted in these parts as an admirable hostess
and provider of good things prepared under
her own supervision and by the dizziness of
her own hand, and you may rest assured,
Mr.. Editor, there was nothing lacking on
this occasion. The dinner was simply splen-
did, and all who partook of it will bear me
out in my encomiums. Even lovesick lads
and lasses, for the time, forgot their ethereal
tendencies, and ate and enjoyed like other
people.
If wasn't too color blind to tell blue from
green, or white from yellow; or If I knew
enough of the millinery art to distinguish
frills from lace, I would go ahead and tell
you how the bride was dressed; but alas
that is beyond me. All the same, as lady
near me exclaimed, she was 'Just lovelyv'
The groom? o, well, he looked about as
grooms generally do-out of his head, and
supremacy happy.
This couple, just starting out in the serious
walk Of life-serious, but for that none the
less fraught with all that makes life worth
the living-bear with them the good wishes
of all who know them. May all the better
and pleasanter experiences be theirs, is the
benediction of OLD T. D.

HlTE Bros, DelasSuS, MO.
Ed. Register.-It appears that "Roadover-
seer" has taken offense at my communica-
ton of two weeks ago, but very kindly "de-
fers reply through the courts, awaiting my
recovery" 1t now gives me pleasure to in
form the gentleman that am fully recover
ed, and make haste to retract, so far as re-
lates to the roadoverseers of the county, who
are not guilty; but to the negligent officer
I have no retraction to make, and if called
upon, either through the courts or by arbi-
tration, will try to make good my assertion.
One would think, from his communication,
that he was the only r0adouerseer in the
county, and can only account for his haste
in replying upon the theory that 'a guilty
conscience needs no accusing" No doubt
he knows his own guilt better than any one
else. He certainly knows his own district
better than I do. Now, l have endeavored
to treat everybody as friends who treat me
in like manner; but when gentlemen will
not permit me to do SO, it is no fault of mine.
have no desire to go into court, and am
willing to refer the matter to arbitration;
but If only the court will satisfy "Roadover-
seer" l will try to prove my assertion.
