THE COUNTY SEAT QUESTION SETTLED

CHAMELEON, IND, June 10, 1S97.-On
last Friday the board of county commits
sioners, of Perry county, accepted the
new $50, 900 building in this city for the
sum of 81 for court house, and on Sat
urday evening at 8 o'clock, five bells
were rung and 300 citizens assembled
and marched to the old court house and
county offices and began moving the
public records, furniture ETC., into the
new building.
Every man and boy worked with a
vim for two hours when everything
movable was transferred except the iron
safes. 1t was celebrated at night by the
firing of cannons. A guard was placed
about the new court house that night
until everything could be shaped up
properly in the various offices. Soon
after it was erected, Tell City, who
has a similar building, erected for the
same purpose, presented the commits
sioners with their building, but were re-
jected, the commissioners voting 2 to
against it,
This will probably settle the county
seat question in Perry county forever.
Respectfully,
CHAs. GALLIGAN.

The ceremony in a very impressive
manner was performed by Bro. Duggins,

Owing to their large circle of friends
and the inability to entertain them all,
the wedding was rather a private affair
there being but twenty,one OF their near
est relatives add friends who witnessed
the ceremony.
The bride looked her sweetest in an
ecru novelty trimmed in silk and lace
and carried bouquet OF white roses
The groom looked his best in suit of
conventional black.
The carriages were awaiting and i'm
mediately following the ceremony the
bridal party drove to the residence OF
the groom's parents where a reception
was given. An elaborate supper was
served in Mrs Walls's usual pleasant
manner to about twenty guests. The
bride and groom were the recipients of a
number of presents. At present they
will make their home with the groom's
parents.
