The promptness with which rural

Mrs. Emma Virginia Marshall has
issued invitations to the marriage of
her daughter, Miss Mary Virginia, TO
Mr. John Latta Burger, Wednesday,
June 18th, SO3 North Stricken Street,
Baltimore. At home, Farmville, after
July 10th.
Last Sunday in Famyille differed
very much from its immediate prede-
cessors. There was simply nothing
to take the places Of the normal gins.
Just as Mature abhors vacuum"

privileges we would be glad TO see her
spread herself"

gardens. We remember with what
Measure Mr.. 0Britu Wright would eX-
