UNIONTOWN.

B. Coup were married on Tuesday even
ing Oct. 2lst at o'clock at the home of
bride by the Rev. w. F. Johnson of the
U. P. church. The wedding was quiet
one the guests with one or two excep-
tions) being relatives of the family. We
did not learn the particulars of the we'd
ding but know that everything pertain
ing to the happy occasion would be in
keeping with the social position occupied
by the contracting parties. Miss Coup is
daughter of Mr. G. w. and Mrs. Eliza
Coup so well known to many citizens of
the county, and Mr.. Cunningham is a
genial, generous hearted young man who
has many friends among those with whom
he formed acquaintance. As is custom
airy the young couple received liberal
share of wedding gifts and the congratu-
lations and best wishes of their friends
Mr.. Price teacher of vocal music and his
class sang nice selection for the we'd
ding party by way of serenade which was
an improvement over the old time sere-
nades, which formerly prevailed on such
occasions.
The meeting in honor of Col. Taylor
on Wednesday evening was largely at
tended and his speech well received by
men of all parties. The Col. dealt largely
in facts which are stubborn things" and
liable to convince. Capt. A. w. Lee acted
as Chairman and opened the meeting
with some well timed remarks. As the
election is now over we mention the meet
ing as matter of courtesy to the able
speaker.
Mrs. Gulielma Criswell a distinguished
lady of Wheeling has been visiting rela-
tiyes in this vicinity for week past, and
on Friday drove down with her friend
Mrs. Kirkpatrick of Flushing to see the
old town and the old homestead, where
she spent her girlhood days. Her father
Mr.. Nicholas Cooper occupied the prop
erty now owned by Mrs. Lee, but removed
from this place many years ago. He was
most estimable and enterprising man
and had the esteem of all who knew him,
which is still extended to deserving
family. OF the people of his day but one
or two remain in town.-Mrs. Laura
(Evans) Mumaw, OF Oden, Davis county,
Ind, came in about three weeks since to
visit the locality of her old home. Mr..
John Evans formerly operated the
"Carding Machine" near Pickerings mill
and 21 years ago removed to the west
where he and his family prospered. No
family stood higher in the estimation OF
the people and as guests they meet with
the warmest welcome. Mrs. NJ. notes the
many changes which have taken place
since their removaI.-Mr. John Taylor,
Jr, the enterprising young merchant at
Bannock was a guest at the McIlvaine-
Reynolds wedding and from there went
| to GAINESVILLE to attend the Merchants
Association.-Miss Mary III. Robinson
of Flushing is making brief visit with
friends here.-Mr. VIM. Glover promi-
nent and intelligent farmer of near Cen
terville was the guest of his daughter
Mrs. Donner last week.-Mrs.. D. R.
Davies of Kings Point, Tenn, died at
her home on Oct 18th of disease of the
stomach. She was formerly a resident OF
Morristown and was well known to many
readers of this paper. The fullest SYM
pathy is accorded to the bereaved rela-
tives. Mr.. VIM. Lodge had both feet
severely injured recently by wagon
wheel passing over them. He is able to
be about again.
The last meeting of the campaign was
held ON Monday evening by the Prohibi-
tionists. 1t was characterized by abuse
and misrepresentation of the Republican
party and the maligning of Vice Presi-
dent Morton. The principles of prohibit
ton were not often referred to. Rev.
Timberlake, 1. G. Mcfarland and J. Wat
son addressed the meeting and the Wheel
ing Register furnished the copy. Do such
meetings advance the cause of imtemper-
ance?
