A Unique Marriage Ceremony.

A Unique Marriage Ceremony.
Mr.. +. Fairman and Miss Rose
Glidewell, both of Davidson town
ship, made an assignment of their
love and appointed eachother receiv-
ers before Judge Herring last week.
1t was these sad October days
which puts a ragged edge on life that
found Fairman dreaming of his fair
Rose and in this trying -eXigency,
like Micawber, was simply waiting
idly for something to turn up, when
love found him out. In such mat
ters there always is way and in
this case it led to Bloomsbury where
a marriage license was procured and
upon receiving it expressed Il desire
to have the felicitous moose jerked
into knot at once. There being no
Justice of the Peace ut hand and
Judge Herring happening to be pass
ing along the street at the time, was
called in. He united the happy
couple in the presence of Il large
number of interested spectators and
when the groom handed him V.
the Judge turned and gave it to the
blushing bride with his best wishes.
