that the majority of people preIArred to
suffer and pay this amount rather than

Morris oovington,

On Wednesday evening, Feb. %,
at 8 o'clock, Miss Emma Covington
was united in the holy bonds OF
wedlock to Mr.. George II. Morris.
The ceremony was performed at
the residence of the brides father
in the presence of the family and
few intimate friends. Rev. T. G.
Lowry, a noted divine of Cayce,
KY, pronounced the solemn words
which united the lives of the two
young people. The bride, who is
one of Crystals fairest daughters,
was becomingly attired in a mag
nificent costume of blue crepe de
chine. The walters were Miss Myr-
tie Harper, of Woodland, and Mr..
Monroe Montgomery, of Ruther-
ford. The groom. who is a promi-
nent young man Of Rutherford, had
already prepared for his charming
bride an elegant home over. which
she will reign supreme. The bridal
party were entertained at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Elizabeth Bennett,
Friday, Feb. a. departing in the
afternoon for their future home
amid the best wishes Of host OF
and friends. All join in
wishing them happiness, as togeth-
er they go hand in hand down the
path of life.
May the morn Of thy life be bright,
May the eve be cloudless light;
May the meridian sun Of day
Fade slowly and sweetly away.

arts flourished and the commerce
of the English nation whitened
every sea. During the same per-
iod of time, the woman we honor
here to-day, with gentle strength,
was fighting for the success of all
the higher moral forces. She
made her opportunities-none of
them were inherited. She did not
come into a throne by divine right
but her purity Of purpose, her
loyalty at all times, her tender
ness, her breadth of human sym
pathy, her resistless energy won
for her the title of 1.-The uncrown-
ed Queen" and in the hearts of
5, 900 true women Of the land she
reigned supreme.
