and wishing to weigh it in the
woods took the following plan:
Securing a stiff pole they placed
it across a log, the lighter man
getting on the long end of the
pole, and the heavier man on the
short end, when they found they
just balanced. Now, they each
got off carefully and exchanged
places, the lighter man taking the
deer in his lap and the balance
was perfect again. What was

From the Media Ledger
"Quay has many admirers and
followers in the Democrat ranks

we can't elect a Democrat, / want
to see Quay elected" " If Fulton

Johnston Kendall.

One of the most pleasing social
events of the season in the Big

The occasion was the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Margaretta
L., to Mr.. j. Houston Johnston,
son of MIR. and Mrs. j. Walker
Johnston, also of the Cove.
AT half past FIVE, there was a
sudden lull in the animated con
versatiou of the hundred merry
guests assembled in the spacious
double parlors, and, in very few
moments, the ministers, Rev. S.
b. Houston of the Associate Pres
byterian church aud Rev. j. l..
Grove Of the United Presbyterian,
had taken position at the Forth
end of the room, and the company
awaited the advent OF the bridal
party. Without delay there en-
tered Miss Blanche Johnston, sis
ter of the groom, and Miss Edith
Kendall, cousin Of the bride,
dressed in white and looking very
pretty. They were followed by

room

spending two or three minutes in
calling the attention of the con-
tracing parties to the solemn
vows they were about TO take up
on themselves, and admonishing
them to never cease looking to
Christ for strength to be faithful
and true to each other to the end
Of life, pronounced them husband
and wife. Rev. Grove, then in
voked the blessing of God to rest
upon the happy couple, and to
ratify in Heaven the vows taken
here.
So well was everything arran-
ged, that it seemed but few mo
ments, indeed, after the solemn
event, until the entire company
were seated, partaking of most
delightful refreshments and chat.
ting with that freedom from
EN- barrassment that showed that
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall knew just
how to make every one feel at
ease in their hospitable home.
The bride and groom come from
among the Oldest and best fami-
lies of the Cove, and are very es-
timable young people; and they
were well remembered by their
friends in the number and value
of the wedding presents.
The guests present from a dis
tance were, Ralph Johnston and
Miss Lizzie Morrow, of Bakers
town, Pa; Mrs. M. e. Tritle, Cad
