MANY JUNE
WEDDINGS
Some Occult Power In
fluences All Classes.
THE REQUIREMENTS
That Are Necessary to Get q
license Under the Present
Laws--A Pointer to
MaIdeus.

That June is the month Of weddings
1s evidenced by the number of licenses
that are being issued daily by Probate
Judge Aungst. The callow youth ant
blushing maiden, who are so young
that papa's consent must be secured tc
get the license are very much in evi
dence. There are those OF more ma
ture years, who register about the 2z
or % mark. They are perhaps the
most numerous. But there are men and
maidens who are no longer young, who
are above the line of 30 and 40, who in
the genial June time feel the day
spring of youth and love is awakened
in their hearts and it leads them to
the matrimonial altar.
December occasionally takes step
backward and walking hand in hand
with Miss (or Mrs. December they
tread the
ROSY PATH OF JUNE
to the altar, forgetting that the frosts
OF winter have whitened their hair
and that crow feet have been painted
by the hand of time at the corner of
their eyes.
June seems to be the fountain of
perpetual youth. 1t is also the month
OF roses. Whether the rosy tints Of
this beautiful flower have anything to
do with deluding mortals to Hymen's
altar, has not yet been determined by
students of human nature. The crop
OF spring love is supposed by some to
be responsible for most of the weddings
that occur in June. Spring engage
ments are always short, it is said. This
is thrown out by way Of information
TO the girls. 1t is the brides month.
She has the right to dictate. There
are no visions then of getting up on
frosty mornings and building kitchen
fires to deter the prospective husband
from getting married. Suggest gaso-
line stoves and
LOVE IN A COTTAGE.
The stern realities and rigors of the
winter can be taken care of when they
come later in the year.
Under recent laws, it is necessary to
give the probate Judge good deal of
information before license can be Sc
cured to get married in this state.
First the names and ages of the bride
and groom must be given, their place
of residence, and their occupations.
The bride must be resident of the
county in which the license is granted.
The names and nativity of the father
and mother of both applicants must
also be given. The question must also
be answered as to whether the appli-
cant has ever been married before.
whether widow or widower, or divorcee.
1t must also be testified to that the
parties desiring to be married are not
nearer related than second cousins,
and that there are no legal impedi-
ments to the marriage. All these
things must be sworn to, and persons
testifying falsely are liable to prosecu-
ton for perjury.

WEATHER
The Present Season Is
the Latest Known.
THE OATS AND CORN
Are Weeks Behind In Their
Grovsth--An I'm mmense Crop
Of Peaches Promised
This Season.

When forty or fifty years from now
the Oldest inhabitants will be telling
OF the great snow that fell on the Goth
day of April, 1901, they will also doubt
less call attention to the fact that the
season that followed was one of the
most remarkable on record. The snow
was late. but the season was equally
SO. The only product of the fields that
Is anywhere UP to where it should be
In growth is wheat II is out in head
and the cold weather does not seem TO
have retarded it much. But oats. that
usually are about week behind wheat
In ripening, apparently are month be-
mind their companion cereal. Oats do
not seem to have grown during the last
few weeks. In some fields they are not
more than two or three inches high.
Corn, which ordinarily should be
four or five inches high by the middle
OF June, in many instances is Just COM
ing through the ground. 1t is rare to
fnd field that has been worked even
the first time.
THE HEAVY RAINS
and cold weather have mad the effect of
packing the ground SO hard that vepe-
tation can hardly force its way through
the crust. Cabbage that usually is
immune to late frosts, is backward, and
tomatoes have made no headway dur
ing the past three weeks.
The early roses are just now coming
in bloom that should have frightened
decoration day, while the old fashioned
June roses that are due according to
the schedule, are in the undeveloped
bud stage.
There is corn yet to plant and some
farmers are not yet through planting
potatoes.
Peaches promise to be an immense
crop, while plums and cherries also
give evidence of unusual productive
ness, but those who have examined the
apple orchards claim that the cold rains
INJURED THE BLOOM
and that there will not be more than
half crop Of this delectabIe fruit.
The popularity of the season has led
some to think that the earth has Slip
ped cog and we are back in April in
stead of in June. Others claim that the
sun spots have had an evil influence
upon the weather. The prime cause of
the continued cool weather has been
the prevailing north winds. All spring
they have been blowing from the re-
gion of ice and snow. The winter was
modified to great extent by breezes
from the south, but just when the time
came when the warm weather should
have arrived, the wind veered to the
north and has remained almost con-
stantly in that quarter since, until
within the last day or two.
With the present change of the moon,
1t is hoped that there will be change
that will bring more salubrious weather
and that all vegetation will grow rap
idly and make up for lost time. If it
does not, 1t is evident that there will
be lot of soft corn and unripe vege-
tables in the country this fall, unless
the season should prove exceptionally
favorable later.

TOWNSEND

eluff-- Passenger Agent
Stewart, Of Canton,
Gives His Views.

Thcre seems to be some trouble IN
the management Of the Richland & Ma
honing railway project, which prom
ised another line through Canton
The Akron Beacon Journal has the fol
loving relative to the resignation OF
+. M Townsend, who had been elected
superintendent Of the company:
F. M. Townsend, the superintendent
OF the Richland & Mahoning railroad
company, VINO came here from Elyria
recently to take charge of the general
Offices opened here in the Walsh block,
has resigned his position with the
company.
Mr.. Townsend was seen by Beacon
Journal reporter Tuesday afternoon
relative to his resignation and he was
found in no very pleasant frame of
mind.
Say for me-" he said, that | have
severed my connection with the com
pany because was not satisfied with
its methods and purposes"
The Beacon journal has mentioned
from time to time the failure of the
company to keep its promises made at
the time Of its formation and no very
great weight has been given to its
statements as to its intentions and the
probability of the fulfillment of it's
announced plans.
VERIFYING STATEMENT.
The statement made by Mr.. Town.
send bears out the opinion the Beacon
Journal railroad editor formed of the
company, and the retiring superintend
ent urged the publication of a state
ment that would crate harshly upon
the nerves of the r. & M. officials
should it meet their eyes in print.
The oft-repeated assertions that the
X. e. M. had bought the Reighard right
of way to Youngstown were denied
by an entry in the probate court calen-
dar Tuesday. The entry shows that
the appropriation proceedings of the
X. & M. VS.. Reighard have been con-
tinued to July 0. These proceedings
would have been dismissed had the
r. & NJ. control of the Reighard rights.
A GRAND BLUFF.
Mr.. Townsend iutimates that the
whole scheme of the organization of the
r. M, as the Beacon Journal has
heretofore inumated,- was to bluff the
Vanderbilt interests into buying the
company out to prevent competition.
The Vanderbilt interests refEcI to be
bluffed, however, and the scheme does
not bear promise of being a go. 1t is
not probable that sufficient capital is in.
terested in the plans to carry them to
completion. hence the r. & NJ. is practi.
cally a CLOSED incident"
KNOWS NOTHING OFT.
Harry B. Stewart, of Canton, elected
ticket agent for the new road, was seen
by News-Democrat reporter Wednes-
day morning. He was shown the fore
going article and asked what he knew
of 1t. Mr.. Stewart said: Il
Il do not know anything about the
abandoning Of the scheme. I do know
that the surveyors are still at work. /
am anxious to see the line built for the
good 1t will do Canton. l do not care
to express myself further on the mat
ter"
Mr.. Stewart was elected general pas
senger agent, 1t will be remembered.
without his solicitation. He and Mr..
were recommended to the pro-
jectors by the board OF trade of this
city as men who would be useful in
getting the project under Way.
