The death of Mr.. A. P. Fo'-
land, who has been in failing

who has been confined to his home
in this city for several months,

TUESDAY had been set apart as
the time when Mr.. Swinson Kill
lett, of Greene county, and Miss
Hattie Golf, Of this county, would
realize the full fruition of their
marriage vows and the proper
papers to legalize the transaction
had been secured from the regis
ter's Office in this city some days
ago, aud when Swinson made
his appearance at the registers
Office that morning with the Ii
cense and demanded the return
of the money that he had paid
for them, that official and the
other people who we're present
looked surprised. In explanation
of his rash proceedings Swinsor
said he had received a message
from his intended BRIDE which
had wounded his pride aud caused
his anticipated joys to fee from
him. The big-hearted register
reasoned with the indignan lover
and finally persuaded him to keep
the license and seek bis lady love
in person and ascertain if she
had really sent such a message.
Swlnson went away with a lighter
heart. thinking that he himself
had made a mistake in not going
to see his bethrothed.
EVERY few days, there goes tear
ing down the street a runaway
horse. A few days ago a horse
attached to a dray ran up Walnut
street just about the time the chill
dren start to school IN the morn
ling. Fortunately there was M
children OF the street at the time
Had there been it is probable tina
a number might have been killed
or injured for life. Draymel
leave their horses standing Will
they unload the drays, and tn
horses get scared and run away
frequently running down the sid
walk. Tuesday morning there wa
another runaway lee the Centen
, ial pump. Fortunately thus ia
. no one has been hurt, but perhap
!, it has not occrred to the merchant
! and draymen, that if one of thes
run away horses should do seriou
damage it would go very har
, with the owner of the dray an
the drayman, too. A man ha
! no right to leave his horse stand
ing in the street, and in the ever
of damage from their negligene
f the law will call to strict account
q This is a serious matter.
