Owingsville outlook. [volume] (Owingsville, Ky.) 1879-192?, 1898-06-23


morning, June 2lst, 1898, there ar.
rived in a town a party noticeable
for their neat and becoming dress
and the air and manner they bore
of having some business Of extra
ordinary Importance on their minds.
The party was composed of three
handsome young gentlemen and
three pretty young ladies, all
smiling and happy as folks should
be in the gay and aowery month of
June.
1t requires no profound gift of
penetration to divine when matri-
mony is brewing, even if the prin-
cipals thereto and parties abettin g
are desirous of concealing it. But
in this instance there was no reason
for mystery, and there was written
in the plainest language possible
on the fair and vivacious counten-
ance of each young lady, and
equally as plainly on those of the
young gentlemen, of the party
above mentioned: THERE Is GOING
TO BE A WEDDING"
As soon as that announcement
was read that instant the interest
and sympathy of every one swayed
by the impulse of natural sentiment
was enlisted in the cause of the
owners of the hearts fluttering and
throbbing in unison. Happily the
course of true love was running as
smoothly as the placid current of IL
mill-pond ut IA calm summers twi.
light, and all that the unlocking
portion Of the world that loves IA
lover could do was to witness and
approve the forging of the blessed
bonds that give external sanction
to lovers to love and cherish each
other without let or hindrunce.
Accordingly. after some prelim-
mary consultations, hurrying to
and fro, sage advice, bantering nj
becoming gailantries on the part of
the male contingent, and with cor
responding tossing of pretty heads.
some blushing of pretty faces and
pouting of pretty lips by the young
ladies, the party moved in couples
over to the Courthouse. At the
same time the population of the
town convenient to the scene must
needs hurry to "Court" in a body
compact in parts, more or less
struggling in others, but all happy
in anticipation of seeing a wedding.
With a brave show of confidence,
that internally was quite likely to
be timorous but delightful hesita-
tion, the high contracting parties,
with their attending couples, re-
paired to Judge Ramsey's tribunal,
where that dignitary (as judge,
jury and executioner, so to speak }
tried an eloquent cause against lit
tie Dan Cupid and convicted him
Of transfxing with one Of his little
golden arrows and malicious pleas
ure aforethought two as fond and
loyal hearts as beat within the ju-
risdiction of said Judge Ramsey.
Consequently said Daniel. Cupid
was put under bonds to keep the
peace until he again chose to break
1t with his little bow and arrows.
In compensation to the victims OF
the said Daniel Cupid they are au-
thorized forevermore to multiply
each others joys, Danish each 9TH
er's troubles, and be each the es.

happy being. y
