LEAP.YEAR OPPORTUNITIES.
A Preliminary Schedule OF Mont
somery Bachelors.

Lcap-year Is new well under
way and the fair maidens of Mont
gomcry, who cannot be surpass-
ed for beauty anywhere, are. in
common with their sisters clse-
where, free to choose and COM
mand, not being compelled in this
happy period to await the suits OF
lovc-lorn swains who would fain
tic with them the knot there's no
untying.
The perhaps leading one is j. d.
Barnett who has certainly run the
gauntlet of love unscathcd. In
vain has Dan Cupid, with his little
bow and arrow, endeavored to get
the Judges range. Remarkable 1t
seems In view of the fact that he
IL SO devoted to the members of
the opposite sex, but he Is believed
to have not yet reached the point
OF serious determination towards
matrimony. being unable, in the
midst of so much beauty and love-
lincss to fix definitely upon u
choice. His strong natural pre-
disposition, however, Is such that
II ought not to be difficult to bring
him to the point and lead him
gently but firmly into the straight
and narrow but happy path OF
married life.
One OF the best catches here
abouts this year will be Capt. A.
w. Loifcrty. county prosecuting
attorney. The idea OF a young
man with so many important re-
sponsibilitics on his hands as he
has trying to circumnavigate him

your eyes on him.
Sam Hughes, although young
and handsome, has long been
scheduled as one who would be
expected to leave the rowing state
OF bnchclorhood and hopefully
seek the happiness of the domestic
hcarthstonc. That he can much
longer avoid the arrows OF the
mischicvous archer seems hardly
possible, for his admiration Of the
fair sex is beyond question; and
