Why So Rashfnl2

An exchange prints the following =
Why should young man and a young
woman fear publicity of the fact that
they are about to be married? Why are
many young couples so anxious to keep
the procuring of a marriage license a
secret? Some young people, and some
not so young, appear to labor under the
impression that nobody has any right
to know that they are about to enter
the matrimonial state. And yet for
months and sometimes years these peo-
pie have been spooning and cooling like
turtle doves in public until everybody
knew that their ultimate fate would
be to be yoked together with the mat
rimonial moose.
This attempt to keep the public in
the dark when a couple seek a marri-
age license is false modesty or squeam-
ishness. There is nothing to be ashamed
of In connection with a wedding,
where the ceremony is to be perform
ed in a legal manner The bride to be
who, with her future lord. sneaks in
to the court house under cover of dark
ness TO get marriage license, will,
after the ceremony has been perform
ed, be angry because the whole world
does not know that she is wife Her
bashfulness will be supplsnted with
chagrin if the newspapers do not de-
vote half a column of space in describ
ing her debut as married woman
Why, then, should she play the part
of a bashful schoolgirl when applying
for a marriage license?

SOLDIERS MONU-
MENT COMMITTEE

The Soldiers Monument Committee
concerning which little has been heard
since last summer, has again buckled
itself down to work and we are prom
ised results commensurate with the
Importance of the undertaking in a
very short time.
In the project to erect n soldiers
monument in Montour county very
little progress has been made during
several years past. Conditions are con-
sidered much more favorable now and
the committee believes that il given a
little more time it will be able TO re-.
deem itself. A considerable sum of
money several thousand dollars-has
from time to time been subscribed for
| the monument.
Montour county is one of the few
counties of the State which has no
soldiers monument. In many OF the
counties the work OF erecting suit
able memorial was undertaken at All
earlier day following the war when
the deeds and heroism of the fallen
heroes were still fresh upon the mind
of the living, and the patriotism and
the gratitude OF the masses we're more
effectively appealed to. Another dis
advantage In the present case lies In
the fact that Montour County Is small
and that of the money subscribed near
ly the entire amount will have tC
come from Danville. Hon. james
Foster, Chairman OF the Committee
is confident. however, that the money
needed can be raised and ha stateC
yesterday that a very short time viii
be required, If the present plans are
carried out. to reveal mate rial results
