This Stock Must Be Closed Out This Year
Prizes in Kenosha's Matrimonial
Market.

/ Market.
1t was an all.Wise Providence that so
arranged the calendar years that once
| in four there should De a time when
the gentler sex could, without any
breach OF etiquette, make her wants
known in the matrimonial line. Cir
cumstances are Of course in favor of the
fair sex, on account Of possessing more
presence of mind in which to intimate
to their chosen companion their affec-
tons Thus, tits we'll it is leap year,
and an opportunity is afforded them,
and we sincerely hope for the future
prosperity of our city, that ere the year
draws to a close, all those hereinafter
mentioned will have been woven in the
web Of matrimonial affections SO tight
that there will be no hereafter to their
single loneliness. We are inclined to
believe that the spark of love has not
| died away in the 'rbuzzums" Of our
unmarried friends, and there is no bar
rier in the way of the ladies making a
good catch if they viii only set about it.
We are ready to give a written guar
anty of these candidates as. to good
looks and qualifications; therefore
it is with pleasure we introduce to the
unmarried ladies, d. Ell. Woodward,
who for more or less years has plodded
along the rugged r th of bachelorhood,
accommodating here and there a mite
which he has put away, until, to-
day, he is prepared to love, cherish and
obey she vino will manifest her love for
him. Good looking and Of a cheerful
disposition, he is a prize in the matri-
monial show ring Not too many APP
plications at time is the restriction.
There is oneton our list, whose hair.
once black as the raven wing, is now
sprinkled with silvery threads, but
whose spark of loEe and matrimonial
aspirations have not in the least been
faded by the many years spent as a
Benedict. We refer to our friend,
Hugh Angus. He too has made some
provision for a $ "a II. day, and by no
means would make other than kind

Siegel Conley, one of our Main street
merchants, has been on the market for
years. Heretofore he has been far TOO
particular in his choosing and thereby
has let many a. golden opportunity slip.
But what's past is beyond recalling,
and Siegel began the year with new
resolutions, and one Of the resolutions
was to stick by the motto " first come
first served"
There is fine young fellow whom we
cannot too highly recommend to the
young lady who is about to choose a
Fides to protect her through life. We
refer to Wainwright Lance. He has
been keeping a weather eye open for
lo, these many years, undoubtedly eX
pecting that leap year would some
time put a short termination to his
bachelorhood. No restrictions are
placed on the number to plead for his
heart and hand. All he asks is u
choice of many.
Again, you young ladies might 90
farther and fare worse, in not choosing
Horace G. Cole, perfect type of the
thoughtful, intelligent, we'll hammered
man. True, he has had his love af-
fairs, but he is willing that the dead
past shall bury it's dead, and by the
eternal" he will see to it that the maid
who worships at his shrine shall never
have cause to regret it, Think seri-
ously and act wisely, young ladies'.
One of the handsomest of Kenosha's
bachelors, and who, we are inclined to
believe, would not throw a straw in the
way of matrimony, is Ira Angler, the
clothing merchant. Not too old, and
one of the proprietors of prosperous
business, he is situated to abundantly
care for a better half. Some lady's
chance is flattering indeed and gen
tie proposal will not be treated coldly
by Ira. Try him and see.
Joe Pitts does not hang sign on his
door to the effect that he is in the field
with the rest of the boys, but from gen
eral observations one can plainly see
that be is looking for helpmate. It's
an i'll wind that blows no good and we
hope our efforts to keep the wheels of
matrimony grinding will bring forth
rich harvest.
Chas. A. Tarbell, Kenosha county's
Register of Deeds needs the watchful
eye of wife to guard his every action,
and we hope this leap year,. A. D. 1896
will not fit by without some one of the
gentler sex making her wants known to
him. He is willin' but bashful.
There are others, all good and true,
whom we have not mentioned, who are
fit prizes, and girls we beseech you to
take pity on the bashful. Make the
most of your time during the present
year that you may secure the praises of
those who have failed in years past.
Thus
