Marriage Rims May he Any Material.

There is popular llea that ring
made Of gold is the only one that can
be legally nsed i'll e wedding cere'
mony. This is, however, t"llacy.
Any and every kind of ring may be
nsed, anil though gold ones are Gus
tomary, there is no reason whatever
why silver or any commoner metal
should not be called into requisltlon.
Numerous Instances are on record OF
runaway marriage IN which brass
ring has played the all-important part,
and the legality OF the ceremony has
never been questioned. In some cases
a piece of hnrriedly tied string has
answered the same purpose, as have

For its sins of omission and commission
the HERALD was sharply taken to task
last week. In our Fourth of July report
the compositor inadvertently overlooked
the allusion to the Tug of war contest,
and we were brought up with sharp
turn to the telephone to give the why
and the wherefore. Here is what was
written: Tug of War, Island Pond VS..
East Charleston, won by the latter team.
This makes honors easy. Island Pond
won last time, but John was bound to
win this time" After, as we hope,
satisfactorily disposing of this matter we
were startled by the receipt of letter
threatening us with libel suit for our
comment on Mullen & Eagleton's per-
Torrance. We are sorry for the act OF
omission and we gladly make the amende
honorable, but we have nothing to take
back on our comment of the entertain
mert.
