Remove the Hitch Racks.

EkO1Ak ~ Nla1 oAdAA LA ~ &NS"os
For years the people of Marshall
have known that the public hitch
racks around the square were most
unsightly and conducive to ill health
by reason of the filth deposited. But
every time a proposition was made to
remove them some country people
would object and threaten to 60 else
where for supplies. 1t is our right
and proper for the city to provide
hitching places for its country custo-
mers, but it is not called upon to have
such racks upon the square nor to
suffer from filth and disease by hav-
ing them under the Josef of merch-
ants and towns-people.
Our public square would look much
better and our town present a more
inviting appearance to strangers II
the racks and fence were removed,
the corners of the Court House yard
rounded of and a nice pavement
laid all around the Court House.
But 1t is imperitively necessary to
provide good racks some where neal
for the country people to hitch theil
horses. Surely no country man could
object to such an improvement. II
would beautify the town and improve
the sanitary conditions.

DEATH OR DIVORCE.
Contingencies Upon Which q Bride.
groom Will Wed the One he Tilted.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Aug. 19.-Downing
Buckner and Miss Fannie Reid were
married here to-day under strange
conditions. In order to obtain the
marriage license which had fallen into
the hands of arrival of his present wife,
Mr.. Buckner was obliged to agree to a
contract to the effect that should his
wife die or a divorce result he must
without further choice at once marry
the rival, who dictated the terms OF
the contract. Announcement OF the
immediate marriage of MI. Buckner
and Miss Reid was made several weeks
Ago.. The prospective groom and his
party we're at the church and all was
in readiness. After waiting several
hours for the bride, who came not,
they were informed that she had de-
cided not to marry, and had just
boarded q train for st. Louis.
She remained there until she heard
that Mr.. Buckner was preparing to lead
to the altar In her stead Miss Lucille
Johnston, q bitter rival. When Miss
Reid heard this she came to Columbia
In q hurry and told Buckner she was
eager to marry him at once. Miss
Johnston was promptly forsaken and
the marriage of Buckner to his first
love was set for to-day. A license
was procured and placed in the hands
of Rev. W. T. Osburn. When the
wedding party were assembled MIR.
Osburn ~astouished Mr.. Buckner by
asking him for the license. Buckner
stated that he supposed it to be in the
hands Of Rev. Osburn. Then there
was q sensation.
Investigation proved that Miss
Johnston, the forsaken, had secured
the license by sending to Rev. Osburn
q messenger, who claimed to repre-
sent Buckner. Things were looking
hopeless, when Miss Johnston appear
cd and cody confessed that the license
was In her possession. She then made
Q proposition to the effect that she
would surrender it on condition that
In case of the death or divorce from his
first wife Buckner must marry Miss
Johnston. The terms were accepted
and the wedding proceeded without
further interruption.
