OLD TIME KENTUCKY WEDDINGS
louisville Times.

In the early days of Kentucky, mar
riages were celebrated with very little
pomp The ceremony usually took
place about noon. The bride wore .
plain white gown made At home, car
riod no flowers and wore neither veil
nor diamonds. There were no flower
girls or ushers.
Dinner was served soon after the
ceremony. AZ there were no caterers
in Kentucky Mt that early period. the
cooking was done by 'Blsck Nam
my" II IL true there were no shred
ded biscuits, Zoe cream etc, but the
dinner was palstable and wholesome.
II was customary at that time for the
relations or friends In the neighbor-
hood to take their best cooks and as
sist in preparing the dinner. Imme-
diately after dinner, II the weather per-
mitted, the young folks strolled out
into the orchard or garden, while the
older ones repaired TO the porch or
yard, and discussed the prospects Of
the bride and groom, the crops, price
OF slaves, ETC.. etc.
The next day was infare day, the
day on which the groom took his bride
to his fathers home, whore like en-
tortAinment Of the previous day took
place. lhe travelling wss usually
done on horseback.
lt was customary in those days for
the relstivcs AMI friends TO meet and
erect n CABIN for the newly married
couple. One room with an attic, WAS
the usual size OF the house. There
were no stairs, the approach TO the at
tic being by lAdde r. The furnish
ings OF the cabin were usually done by
the parents OF the bride and groom.
There was one window and one door
to the house. No lock or key was nee.
essary NJ that time, only latch with
the string on the outside. After the
newly married couple settled in their
home they had what was termed
house warming, which included the
relatives and friends Of both parties.
Il usually lasted all day, after which
the young couple settled down to life's
work.

II seems that the maps that Engi-
neer Lyon was paid something like
$4,000 to draw, and spe mt year on,
have been so neglected by some one
since they were drawn that they are
row practically useless. These maps
must be kept up to date, or they soon
become useless. Every transfer Of
property should be promptly noted,
but it seems from report from the
city engineer that no transfers what
ever have ever been made on them.
since they were drawn two or three
years ago. This is only one of the
many ways the peoples money is
wasted year after year.

We feel IL our duty, being interest
ed in the success OF the Democratic
party, to say to the public and to
those that believe in and want to see
the nominees of this coming primary
succeed, that it 10 time the speaker
and the press were calling a halt. AL
of these Misrepresentation. abuse,
slang and vituperations only tend to
strengthen the Republican party, and
it does seem TO us that an intelligent
people will feel that they are being
outraged by the office-seekers and the
press. Stop il Be menl Tell the
truth All of this contention and
abuse is shameful. 1t seems to us that
the time is almost at hand when no
one but the Buffer and the Bully can
afford to run for office in this country,
and thst with his pistols ana knives
swung about his belt. II these men
that are candidates for the different
state offices before us now are half as
mean as the different candidate and
newspapers say, they certainly, for
the sake of good government, ought
to be relegated TO the rear or sent to
some other country.
