MATRIMONIAL ADVICE.

"Don't get married" says Governor
Wafield OF Maryland, to the graduates
Of the Wilmington High School.
Get off the earth. say We to Co,nelrs S
President and Maryland's Governor.
We have never felt that public matri.
monial advice was of any great benefit
tn anybody, The average young man
will marry when he can and the average
young woman can marry when she will.
And when you find young man who
"can" and y young woman who "will'
there is more than. apt to be call for n
minister, regardless of advice, pro or
con, or to the wishes, nr'"ihon shalts''
or "thou shalt nots" of others. 1t is q
matter for young people of good ordi-
nary sense to settle for mselves.
Advice in favor of or against marrying
IL worthless as it is not heeded.
Therefore we do not advise. Never
theless, there are about eighteen tr
twenty marriageable young ladies and
AZ many eligible young men i'm Walhalla
whom we would like to see married and
