II seems 10 Il casual observer, tha
October is the most suspicious montl
of the year fol marrying. From eve
ny part of the civilized globe iniercs
ting reports are circulating concern
ing the marriage Of persons, who, OF
account of their wealth, intelligence
influence or position in society. /
may be, have been instrumental II
directing the attention of the publ,
(and especially the business part Of it
from the regular, and generally un
pleasant routine of duties attending
a busy life and a career of usefulness
TO the more agreeable and the NOR,
Inviting prospects ola marriage cerc-
mony and the delightful enjoymenti
afforded at elegant receptions. And
while from distant points the chime
of the marriage bells has been
brought 10 our car by the press
clergy and wire, here in our own
city and county the fragrance OF
the orange blossoms has recently re-
called our social circles more than
once since the beginning of this beau
tiful October month. Among other
times and places, the Newstead neigh
bJrhood on Thursday afternoon, OF
the 10Th inst, at 6 80 o'clock was the
scene of a wedding between repre-.
sentativcs of two of the best families
of the county. On the afternoon OF
the above date and at The hour lndi-
Gated, Mr.. j. +. Clardy was united
in marriage to Miss Carrie V. Dade.
A number of closely connected rela-
tives and few friends, assembled at
the residence of the brides father, Mr..
Randolph Dade, and witnessed the
ceremony which wac pronounced by
Rev. W. l.. Nourse, the scholarly and
eloquent pastor of the Southern Pres
byterian church of this city. After
its conclusion, they repaired to the
handsome residence Of the groom's
father, DIR. j. ID. Clardy, where they
were Joined by large number of la.
dies and gentleman who congratu-
lated the newly married couple most
heartily, and where most elegant
reception was rendered. 1t is useless
TO speak of DR.. Clardy's hospitality,
for every resident of this county, and
| dare say, Of Southern Kentucky,
who knows him at all, has either
been the recipient of his courtesies
or has Dartaken of the hospitality of
his home, while his wife, a most
agreeable and accomplished lady, is
never without word OF welcome
and is ever DESTROYS of promoting
the pleasure of those who are so for
tunate as TO be her guests. This &C.
casion will long be remembered by
those who were present, Outside of
the agreeable company in which we
were thrown, and the delightful music
we heard, the supper to which we
were invited ut 10 o'clock was ele-
giant, the tables being beautifully dec
Grated and loaded with every delica-
cy ofthe season. The groom is an
intelligent, temperate and industrious
young farmer, and all honor to the
social circle in which he moves. He
is 10 be congratulated on winning
for his bride young lady of so much
refinement, culture and beauty. Pos
sessing strong, practical mind, a
pure heart and sweet, generous dispo-
sihon, she is eminently fitted to be
true helpmate, one who will rejoice
IN his successes and assist him in his
troubles. The young couple were
the recipients of many handsome and
costly presents.
