Wedding Customs.

Beneht would like to know all about
the customs and conducting of we'd
dings. What Is expected of the BRIDE
groom and how TO arrange all of the
details of the affair that fall TO his
lot? Answer: The bridegroom selects
his best man and the ushers are usual
iy agreed upon by both of the contract
ing parties. 1t is not necessary that
the bride should be acquainted with all
OF them. She could be introduced to
them before the wedding. If they were
special friends Of the groom. the fact
that the bride has never met them Is
no objection to their acting Ia that GA
pacity The brides parents furnish
everything that is required except the
carriage in which the groom and best
nan go to the church. II it Is a home
wedding the bridegroom furnishes the
carriage in which the newly welded
pair go TO the train or steamer when
they leave on their wedding journey.
1t Is customary for the groom to pre-
sent some souvenir to the ushers. Scarf
pins are thought to be appropriate
gifts; but this is not arbitrary, and
many do not think it necessary to
make presents of any sort. AS to fur
nishing other articles that they might
need, that is entirely matter of
cholce on the part of the bridegroom.
IL an usher is not wcll-to-do. and the
bridegroom is wealthy, there is often
little quiet arranging Of matters 30
that the cost of preparation will not he
burdensome Good feeling and deli
cate consideration are the only guide
in such cases.

Can't. Eads for Governor.

The Carrollton Democrat hoists at
its masthead the name of Capt. Wm'
NJ. Eads, of Carrollton, as the Demo-
ocratic standard-bearer for governor,
than whom a more worthy son OF De-
mocracy could not be found. He IS
one of Missouri's gallant scions, If
not to the manor born. He came
from Kentucky when a mere child,
and for more than 4 half century has
made Missouri, except a few years
spent in New Mexico in an effort to
regain the lost health of his wife, his
home.
Capt. Eads IS a man of the people,
and while ne has amassed a consider
able fortune in the practice of the law,
and in later years by judiciOus invest
ments, he is still in close sympathy
with the masses and knows full well
their needs. He is possessed OF fine
legal ability and is well posted in po-
litical economy. He has given the
financial question much study, and
fully agrees with John G. Carlisle
when he said. 1.-The demonstration o
silver was the chief crime Of the 10TH
century"
Capt. Eads, shortly after his gradua
ton from Central college, became
resident of Charlton county and taugh
school at Brunswick. His first wife
Miss Bayne, was a Charlton count,
llady. reared within n few miles o
IKeytesville, and a sister OF Messrs
| John and Daniel Baype, of the Daltol
lneighborhood.
i While we would not disparage tn
claims nor ability of the several othe
worthy gentlemen who aspire to be
come governor Of the great common
wealth of Missouri, we know Of non
lbetter suited to the place than Cap
lEads. He has been our life-lon
} friend. We make our bow and bid hi
lGodspeed.

Cuba.

There has been some pretty hard
in Cuba of late, and if any re-
lance is to be placed in the truth OF
the dispatches the Spaniards have lad
the worst of the fight. 1t is rumored
that Spain is beginning to see that
what has been said of her inability to
conquer Cuba single-handed and alone
is true, and for that reason will offer IN
a short time to adopt a home rule
policy for the island. But the bel
ligerents are reported to say SPANS
offer comes too late. They are for
Cuban independence and nothing short
of that will satisfy them. General
Weyler, who is in charge of the
Spanish forces in Cuba is reported as
continuing has murderous policy and
killing all prisoners that fall into his
hands, especially all those who have
been or are suspicioned as being con-
Injected with the burning of property.

Hon. David A. Ball, Of Pike coun-

gubernatorial honors, and while he IS
the least in stature among the aspir-
ants, he is giant in intellect man
of broad views, alive to the best in
terests of the state. He, too, would
make an admirable governor. He
made an honorable record in the
state senate and was the peer of the
loftiest members of that body.

state convention as the Democratic
nominee for governor, the people will
