BRANTING-BAssETT

This, the early spring time, being the
season when the young mans clancy
lightly turns to love-" twas but to be
expected that Cupid, with all his wiles,
should coax few victims to the altar of
love and that in consequence our vicin-
ity was vivifed and stirred, when on
the 10Th of March, 1894, at the Baptist
church, Mr.. Oscar Branting and Miss
Annie Bassett, were united in the holy
and sacred bonds of matrimony. Rev.
B. A. Copass performed the ceremony in
his most earnest, perfect and impressive
manner.
At 8p. m. the wedding march, played
by Mrs. Robt. w. Vaughn, was heard to
vibrate and resound its sweet strains,
and the bridal party came slowly march
ing up the aisle, taking their stand
near an arch of flowers, in which was the
lucky horse shoe, of Marshalneil roses,
where they were made one, to love,
honor and cherish, in the presence of
God and man, and after a short prayer,
they again by the strains of music
marched out. The bride was vision of
beauty in a dress of cream and lace, car
rying a bunch of brides roses. The
groom, in the conventional black, was
looking his best, and seemed happy in
his new possession. The attendants
were Miss Georgia b. Hawkins, little
Helen Dowell, who were also looking
lovely in their costumes of cream and
lace, Mr.. j. F. Jenkins and master Helm
Vaughn, who, in the usual black, were
looking splendid. Ushers were Messrs.
r. A. Shellman, Robt. N. Vaughn, and
Johnnie B. Crawford. Ribbon boys, Mas
tiers Willie and Jim Frank Biggs. The
groom is young business man of
Evansville, Ind, the bride is the pretty
niece OF Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Smith pro-
pretors of the Smith House here, where
the bridal party, with few friends, were
pleasantly entertained until late hour.
At 1890, the doors of the DINING room
were thrown open and the party looked
upon and partook of supper, aft for the
gods to behold" and one long to be re-
membered. The few present were
Misses Georgia and Kate Hawkins,
Georgia McCubbins, Laura Styles, Ella
p. Mosely, little Helen Dowell, Mrs.
Ned Crawford, of New Albany, Mrs.
Will B. Lennin, of Hardinsburg, Mr.. and
Mrs Robert w. Vaughn and son, Mas
ter Helm, Mrs. Frank G. Ferry, Messrs.
X. A. Shellman, DIR. ID. White, L. B.
McCubbins, ]. F. Jenkins, Johnnie b.
Crawford and Roland Wellington. The
bride and groom left ON the steamer
Raglan for Evansville, Ind, their future
home, the following morning at 2-30 a.
m. A life of sunshine and a path oiroses
we wish them.

To be Used in Both China and Japan to Protect Citizens of the Hostile Coun-
 tries.
 WASHINGTON. Sept 5.-The acqui- essence of the United States in the re- quest of both combatants in the east ern struggle to stand by as mutual friend to each, which was mentioned in these dispatches at the outbreak of hostilities, has now assumed definite official shape. The state department has directed all diplomatic and consul lar officers in those countries to use their friendly offices in the protection of Chinese subjects in Japan and Jap anese subjects in China.
 Instructions giving the scope of pro- lection to be afforded have been sent to these officers. The term good offices is not to be construed to mean the granting of the right of asylum in United States legations and consulates, and of course the American foreign service are not to have the functions of consular officers of either China or Japan.
 All the Chinese consuls in Japan and Japanese consuls in China have gone back to their respective countries, and their interests are now practically in the hands of the American officials. A report that two Japanese subjects had been given asylum in the consulate general of the United States at Shang- hai is contradicted by the consul gen. eral. He stated at the state depart 1xD% !, l. Ia. ( L. panese in question, and it is probable that he merely rendered his good of- fees in their behalf.
