Layinia Dorsey of Washington, visited
Rockville this afternoon and, after consid-
cradle difficulty in finding minister, final
ly procured the services of Rev. s. r.
White of the Baptist Church and were mar
ried.
The couple came out from Washington in
an electric car, and after securing the nee
essary license, went to the home of Rev.
G. Dorsey White. pastor Of the M. E.
Church South, but failed to find that gen.
tleman at home. They were then escorted
to the residence of Rev. F. T. Griffith, an
other Methodist divine, and he also was
out The home of third minister was
visited with no better success, and the
young couple had about given up in despair
when Rev. s. R. White happened along and
escorting the anxious couple to his home
he securely tied the nuptial knot in the
presence of several witnesses Immediate
ly afterward the Eewly-married couple re-
turned to Washington by an electric car.

The county commissioners for this county
were called upon to decide quite an inter-
esting case at their regular weekly session
held here today. Several months ago
Messrs. Washington B. Chichester. Thos
B. Brookes and twenty others petitioned
the commissioners to open road through
the farms of MesSrs. Chichester, Brookes
and Captain Thomas Griffith According to
the usual procedure three examiners were
appointed to determine If the public con-
venience demanded the opening Of the road
as asked, and after a thorough investiga-
ton. they unanimously reported In favor Of
granting the petition. Mr.. Edward G. Pc
ter, as attorney for Captain Griffith. filed
objections to granting the petition on the
ground that one of the examiners was re-
lated to one of the petitioners. A large
portion of today's session of the commits
sioners was devoted to hearing arguments
Messrs. William V. Bouic and Talbot. &
Talbot, appearing for the petitioners, and
Mr.. Peter for Captain Griffith. The board
set aside the bill of objections.
Partridges and rabbits are said to be
unusually numerous in Montgomery county
this fall, and the sportsmen of the county
are eagerly awaiting the opening of the
shooting season. which begins November

six coveys of birds in a few hours within
a short distance of Rockville, and reports
from other sections of the county are to
the effect that they are more plentiful than
for many years. From all reports the rah-
bit hunters Of the county will also have
fine sport this year.
