Passed on the Road.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Nov. -l3,-
John Willing ham, prosperous young
farmer Of Walker County, was to have
been married last night to Miss Lille
Brown, of Oakman. Invitations for
the marriage were issued three weeks
ago and elaborate preparations had
been made for the wedding, which it
was expected, would be one of the
swellest social events of the year in
that section, as both families are
prominent and wealthy.
Willingham, who resides at Berry,
Is miles from Oakman, drove across
the country with four friends to Oak
man yesterday, arriving hale al hour
before the appointed time. He found
all apparently ready and 200 guests
assembled An elaborate feast had
been prepared.
But when a servant went to the
BRIDES room to notify her Of the ar.
rival Of her intended, she was .miss-
ing. Investigation developed the fact
that just an hour before, she had. left
the house and met James Echols,. an-
other lover, and eloped with him to
Jasper. Willingham and friends then
recollected having passed. couple
driving harriedly northward in bug
gy, the..young woman wearing veil,
but he had paid no need TO them.
They proved to be his. truant bride
and Willingham's successful rival.
No effort was made to intercept the
elopers, and they were married .lest
night at Jasper. Despite the disap-
pointment, the wedding. supper was
served to Willingham and the ASSEM-.
blod guests. The affair oaused3a sem
sation at OakmaD.

him otherwise, though the neatness Of
threadbarc clothing will appeal far
more strongly to all right minded per-
sons than would perfectly new cos
tune. since it betokens a feeling of
self-respect in the wcarcr that com
pcls respect from others also. The
one objectionable SIP in man or wo-
man, no matter what their necessities,
is untidiness and uncleanliness, since
water is free to all, and the failure to
use it is an infallibie sign of coarse
ness and slovenliness incompatible
with refinement Of feeling. AS per
sonal habits with regard to these
things are almost always acquired in
youth, parents cannot be too particu-
lar in requiring attention to neatness
in dress and person from their chill
drcn. Many good chance to get on
in life has been lost by the boys who
apply for situations doing so with un-
tidy clothes and unwashcd face and
hands. Few employers are unobserv-
ant Of these tokens of personal care
lessness. and they are apt to associate
with them the idea of carelessncss in
morals as we'll.
Children at school are often martyrs
to mistaken notions on the part of
their mothers on the subject Of
clothes. One mother thinks it does
not much matter what her boy wears
at school SO long as his clothes are
clean, and she therefore insists on his
wearing suits that he has outgrown,
and that have been laid away for some
months until they haye lost all SEM
blancc of ever having belonged to him.
Nothing gives a child such an awk-
ward appearance as clothes he has out
grown, and if he is at all sensitive his
consciousness of the misfit makes him
shy and uncomfortable. On the other
hand, it is still worse to over-drcss q
boy, through the mistaken idea that
what looks pretty on the stage will be
becoming to him. Long curls, huge
frilled collars and cuffs and velvet
suits may be proper for little Lord
Fauntleroy. but by the time Jack
Smith has finished game of foot ball
or leap frog the collars and cuffs are
not in q. nice condition for walk
home through the principal street of
town. To scold him for soiling them
is stupid, since the child that must
always take care not to soil his
clothes is simply miserable among
lot of other boys who are enjoying
boyish games. Give MIN well fitting,
plain clothes and let him have good
time in them.
After ell, in matters Of dress, one
cannot improve much on old Poloni-
us's advice to his son.
"Costly tiny habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich not
gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man."
AS in most things happy medium
is best between Indifference to dress,
on one hand, and over-thought con-
corning it on the other. So far, as
ones means allow, one should dress
in accordance with ones station in
life. and with due regard to tbs coca
sions for which the clothes are in
tended. If q friend invites one to his
house on any festive occasion it is an
insult to his hospitality not to dress
suitably, and it is in equally bad taste
TO visit 3 house of mourning arrayed
in the colors Of the rainbow, but
person who has tact seldom errs in
these matters. .-Ne,cs and Courier
