The Peculiar Marriage Ceremony o.
the Society of Friends.

The Peculiar Marriage Ceremony of
the Society of Friends.
Richmond Dispatch, Oct. 4
In accordance with the peculiar
service of the Friends, Mr.. John B.
Heston. of Philadelphia, and Miss
Sara W. Crenshaw, OF this city, we're
united in marriage at the residence
of the brides mother, No 800 West
Marshall street at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. The wedding took
place, as is the requirement of the
society, in the regular meeting of the
Friends. The day and hour were
those of the regular monthly meet
ing. which was designated to take
place at the home of the bride, in =.
stead of at the meeting house.
About fifty members of the society
and close relatives were present
This was the first marriage accord
ing to this ritual that has taken
place in Richmond in the past twenty
years. 1t is due to be stated, how
ever, that the society is small here,
and that weddings among it's adher
ents are rare occurrences.
ONLY WITNESS MARRIAGES..
The Friends claim that they do
not marry people, but simply witness
their marriages, which they them
selves perfect. According to the GUS
toms of the society, those proposing
matrimony are required to hand in
their Intentions" at business
meeting of the Friends at least one
month before the wedding is to take
place. This meeting appoints COM
mittee to inquire into the propriety
of the match, and to report back. If
the report is favorable, there being a
clearness to marriage on the part of
both the man and the woman, the
nuptials occur at public meeting OF
the society. The parents or guardi-
an of tie young lady must give con-
| sent to the match, and another
popularity of marriage among the
| members of the society is that the
ceremony shall always take place
during the daytime.
THE CEREMONY.
AS rule, when all the preliminaries
have been arranged, the parties re-
pair to the residence of the brides
father, where the marriage takes
| place. The bride and groom enter
and occupy seats in the center o.
the parlor, or in full view of the wit
nesses. After a short season Of
silence the bride and groom, with
their attendants, arise and the
groom in an audible voice repeats
the vow prescribed by the discipline
which is as follows: In the presence
of the Lord and this assembly take
- to be my wife, promising, with
divine assistance, to be unto her 8
loving and faithful husband unit
death shall separate u.s." The bride
then repeats the same vow, except tic
use her husbands name in the place
of her own, and TO promise to be SO
loving and faithful wife," They are
then presented with the marriage
certificate, which both sign, the wife
appending her new name. Then the
witnesses who desire so to do affiz
their signatures to the certificate as
witnesses. This ceremony was car
ried out to the letter yesterday.

WITHOUT WEIGHT.

If such calamity as fusion success
should occur in this State and the
program concocted by the leaders OF
sending one Republican and one
Populist to the United States Senate
should be carried out, what weight
would North Carolina have in the
Senate? So antagonistic are the
views of these two parties that if the
Senators were true to the principles
of their respective parties they would
be found upon opposite sides of near.
ly every roll call upon important
questions and the effect would be
about the same as if we had no rep
resentation whatever in the Senate.
Are the people of North Carolina
prepared to have the voice of the
State silenced in the Senate chamber
by sanctioning the arrangement to
place the NANTES of Jarvis and RAN
som upon Jeter Pritchard and
Marion Butler? We believe not.
Then let every Democrat go to work
to Illustrate the purporses of this
unholy alliance, the prime motive of
which is to elevate the leaders to
office.

Farm and Garden Notes

One of the best ways to clear a

A tomato raised this season by
Samuel Urich, of Marion, Pa,

Hogs are raised for their flesh, and
the less time it takes a pig to accum-
ulate enough flesh to be of market
able size the more profitable.

Electric Motor for Farming.

From the Manufacturer Record.
An electric motor has been devised
for farming purposes that promises
to be an important departure in
agricultural machinery. 1t is de-
signed to be used for hauling plows,
harrows, loaded wagons, etc, and
for driving mowers, reapers and
thresher machines. This motor, it is
stated, will 60 anywhere that horses
can pull load, and will work in any
field where it is now practicable to
to use reaping machine. A leading
electric engineer gives the practical
bility of the invention his unqU allied
Endorsement, with the opinion that
it can do the various operations of
cultivating the soil and harvesting
the grain much cheaper than by
present methods. The application
of the electric motor to farming pur-
poses is probably the greatest un-
occupied field that there is for it's
use. It's lightness, it's capacity to
double and treble it's normal power
in case of emergency and the ease
with which one man can guide and
control a power equal to that of
many span of horses peculiarly
adapts it for the purpose.

There will not be near as much

Rev. Robert Gourley who has been

The protracted meeting at Loves

Politics are warming UP in this
section. Every Democrat is at his
post and what few Populists there
were are coming back to the Demo-

has narrowed down to two parties
and they cannot vote the Republican
ticket. We have both candida ties

Cultivation of Onions.
ON Home and Farm.l

Those who raise large crops of
onions spread manure in the fall,
pillow it under with a one-horse pillow,
and, if the weather permits during
the winter, the land is cross plowed,
which Incorporates the manure with
the soil. The rains and frost pull
verize the manure, and when early
spring arrives the plant food is ready
for the crop. The plot for onions
should be made ready now, instead
of waiting until the timefor planting
