MARRIAGE MADE HER sPRY.

An Essex correspondent of the
Times Dispatch recites this striking
incident:
Mr.. William Harper and Miss Peni Dur-
ham, both living near Center Cross were
married Sunday afternoon, Rev. Mr..
kerford, ofthe Baptist Church, officiating.
This is one OF the most extraordinary
cases on record. Miss Durham had been
bedridden for about fifteen years, and for
the greater portion of the time was
unableto walk. Harper was a vidower
having married sister OF Miss Durham.
lie felt deep interest in his sister-in-law
and was frequently a visitor to herhouse
A short time ago Harper told Miss Dur
ham that if she would get up and walk
that he would marry her. Thereupon the
lady made the effort and succeeded. be-
ing the first step she had taken for years
Harper was as good as his word The
young lady gained strength, and last
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Harper led her to
the altar. The bride is about thirtv-fiye
years of age and the groom perhaps
forty-five. Whether this was a case of
fath cure or strenuous will power your
does not know, but the
.acts are as stated above. The skill OF
all the physicians had been exhausted,
but in response to Cupid's call Elemental

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Says the South Boston -Nesps:.

NO citizen can escape the responsibility
Tor the existence of any known evil in the
community OF which he is an integral
part, without positive and aggressive
effort Tor its removal or determination
Just so lar az each Individual citizen fails
to make war against any known evil or
agency hurtinl to the community or any
part thereof, just that far he becomes
responsible for the full extent of such
evil"
This is as equally true where there
is maladministration of justice, CO.
vert crimes and woful condoning of
perjury. Speaking further on this
line, and abiding to a matter of deep
import, our contemporary says:
THAT the whiskey traffic is a monster
evil none will deny, and the citizen that
does not seek by every fair and legitimate
means its suppression, is responsible for
every blasted home, every broken hearted
wife, mother and crushed life, that results
from this hilarious business For one to
say be does not approve, is not enough.
1t requires something more to escape the
responsibility

Editor Inder-A ppeak
DEAR SIR:-Please give us your views
concerning the Stone and Gill tragedy.
DO you think II Is right for parents 10
interfere In similar circumstances?
Thanking you In advance for the favor,
we remain, Yours truly,
SUBSCRIBERS.
We not only think it right for
parents to interfere to prevent hasty,
inconsiderate and ill-adyised mar
rage of their children while under
legal age, but we consider it a moral
duty, failure in which would imply
a lack of natural affection. There
Can scarcely be stronger proof of the
unhtness of such young persons for
the responsibilities of the marriage
state than their Impotence of pa
rental advice and restraint and of
the brief delay which separates them
from legal control of their own
actions. Time and experience an.
prove the wise old saw, that if one
marries In haste he will repent at
leisure. A mistake in marriage. 80
easily made in a hurry, may have con
sequences more deplorable than death
even death by suicide. We have
some cases In mind now. Perhaps
you can recall some. At no time in
a child's life is there greater need for
the exercise of parental love, counsel
and authority than when the hot
fever of marrying Is in. the blood. II
is very serious matter, aud should
not be treated lightly. People don't
marry often. A majority of PEOPLE
don't marry but once il lifetime,
and it is therefore of the greatest
importance that one should be sure
that he is right before he goes ahead.

Davis for the Vice-Presidencyl The
other day he addressed a woman's
Parker-Davis club in West Virginia,
and at the close about fifty young
girls surrounded our candidate and
wanted to kiss him. But he wired
out. Had he been young-like Hob
son-who knows but a hundred

and then-like unto Hobson-the
enemy would have put his foot on
our political neck.
