men was drawn by couple of
horses and wore cigar in his mouth |
around which circled sweet smiles.

stop on South Main, near the resi-
dence of Chas. Bush, Esq. A little
boy looking on was stricken with
fear and, rushing indoors, told his
mother that death had invaded
Bush's house and hearse and twen-
ty men mourners were outside. One
of Rossington's horses broke the mar
rative of his harness and one of Will
Henry's ponies kicked up behind,
while of Mr.. Arthur Henry it might
be truthfully SAID, "The wind blew
through his whiskers." The party
arrived at Esq, Ed. Moss residence
wherein dwells one of the greatest
Washers in America. There hasty
toilets were made before mirror on
only one side of which was light.

face covered with chalk. Arriving
at w. v. Rives, the ladies in wait
ing and the bride-elect were found.
