place IN town last Saturday nipht.
This time, His Honor, the MAYOR

the Presbyterian Church. The
ceremony took place about half past
eight o'clock Saturday evening.
Nov. 25, 1893, ut the residence OF
the bride, Miss Minoie Neff, dauqh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Il. Nef,
OF this place. The groom, julius
X. Monroe, is the Oldest son of
Col. r. w. Monroe, of this place.

the county. Has held several Off
cos and is Mayor of Che town now.
and both OF the young people have
a host OF friends who wish them
well in their new departure.
The wedding was not to have

the groom IS having handsome
residence erected on the hill. and
expected to have it completed soon
and have the wedding then, but the
work has been delayed so that 1t
may not be done before spring, and
they concluded to marry at once.
Only few friends were present at

LIsTON TO THIS.

The Entertainment in the Court
House last Saturday night by Rev.
George Liston and wife. was not a
success financially, as there were
only about dozen present. Rev.
Llston is native Of Fayette
county, Penn. but has lived most
OF bis life in this county. He spent
eight years at the Institute for the
Blind at Romney and has fair
education. lie can see just ~ little
and gets about right well for n
blind man. His wife was born in
Marion county and has been entire
~ blind for over twenty years, the
result of an accident to her eyes
when she WAS girl. She was edu.
Gated at Romney also, and eau read
very readily from raised letters, and
writes rapidly, using the Point Sys
tenn.
In their performance ut the
Court House Rev. Listen spoke of
the Romney Institute aud explained
how the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
were taught. Mrs. Listen fea,d
selections from raised letters and
wrote sentences to show how it was
\
done by the blind. She also. exhi-
bited some fancy articles. (thc work
OF her hands) that showed remark
able skill in construction qnilt
OF elaborate and complicated
design. crazy patch work, ladle's
hand basket, etc. These folks are
worthy people aud should have been
better patronized.

There seems to be some defects
in the new law IN regard to drawing
jurors after all, as the County
Court draws the Grand Jurors and
the Jury Commissioners the Petit
Jurors, aid the result is a mixture
and confusion some times, since tho
same men are drawn for both Grand
end Petit Jurors for the same Court
and may be called to try their own
indictments, or as is the case for
the coming term Of Circuit Court
here men arc summoned on the
Petit Jury WHO were on the
Grand Jury last term. 1t seems
that the same body or authority
should draw botb sets Of jurors, or
else the County Court should furn-
Ish a list OF It's drawing to the Jury
Commissioners.
