JEFF DAVIS FIRST MARRIAGE
Romantic Elopement With Zachary Ia. |.
 lor's Daughter
From the Louisville Post,

From the Louisville Post.
 No commonwealth in all the southland, except perhaps Mississippi or Virginia has so great a claim upon the memory of Jef- ferson Davis as Kentucky. In this state educated and in this state, near Louisville his first marriage took place under roman tic circumstances.
 Jefferson Davis was still almost an in- fant when his father moved from Todd County to Mississippi, but he returned to Kentucky a few years later to become a student at old Pennsylvania College, in Lexington. He was at college when Pres- ident Monroe appointed him a cadet at West Point, and thereby changed the des- tinies of the young southerner's career
 But the event in his life most closely associated with Kentucky history was the marriage of MT. Davis, then a lieutenant in the regular army, to the daughter of his Colonel, Zachary Taylor, afterward Presi- dent of the United States. For two years the young couple had been engaged at the frontier army post where Colonel Taylors regiment was stationed. The father op- posed the match. So the daughter came back to Kentucky to visit relatives in this county. Davis followed her, and roman- tic elopement took place. Miss Taylor stole out of the house at night and met her lover. They slipped across the yard to the cabin of devoted negro servant, on the quarters" Here minister met them and here they were married with only a faithful old black mammy" and her hus- band as witnesses
 This cabin still stands on the old Taylor farm, four miles from Louisville, on the Brownsboro road, which is a continuation of Washington street. On the same farm is the grave of President Taylor
 At Jefferson Davis funeral a floral de- sign sent by the survivors of a Kentucky battery, had the place of honor at the head of the casket.

The advance of wheat at the ap.
proach of harvest is very encour-
aging to the farmers of the north
west. The promise for big har.
vest is very flattering. A good
yield and fair price will put this
region on the high road to pros
perity. The cause of the advance
in price is a big demand and pros
pective shortage of crops in wheat
producing local districts and
in foreign in countries. The pres.
ent condition of the growing crops
in the west is far above the aver
age, if not the best ever known.
