Mr.. Ode Henson, of this place. and
Miss French, of Cynthiana, were mar
ried at Nicholasville They eloped
from the home of the bride in the auto
mobile of Mr.. Clarence Miller, going
to Lexington, but telephone commu-
nication from the. parents to the County
Clerk of that city travelled faster than
Mr.. Miller's swift machine, and they
were unable to secure license there on
account of the youthful age of the
bride. From there they went to Nicho
laSville where they were successful In
their efforts. They returned here Tues
day evening singing, "bIest be the tie
that binds"
Tuesday was a red letter day in the
history of Millersburg. At five o'clock
in the morning the ringing of the
church and school bells announced to
the sleepers of Millersburg that busy
day was before them and it was time
for everybody to be up and doing. At
five thirty the prayer and song services
began IN the Christian church yard in
front OF the voting booth of precinct
No. l. The campaign managers of both
sides were on the grounds early work
begun in earnest on the opening of the
polls at six o'clock. The PRAYER and
song service in the Christian church
yard continued until A O'Clock in. the
afternoon. The children and M. M. I.
cadets paraded the streets the greater
part of the day, carrying flags and BAN
ners to the march of the fife and drum.
The dry people took it upon themselves
to see that no one got too wet during
the day, and closed by o'clock a. m.
three places where it was supposed
free, whisky was being dispensed. Many
of the ladies were kept busy pinning
snowballs on the lapels of the coats of
the men, entreating them to take a
snow ball instead of highball. The in
f1uence they exerted was CONTAGIOUS
and by noon it was believed by a great
majority of the drys that they had the
day won. The vets did not concede it,
but looked decidedly fiabby. When the
polls closed the vote was easily count
ed and by 80 the result was known.
Precinct No. dry 50, Wet 46, spoiled
ballots 2. Precinct No. 2-Dry N. Wet
63, spoiled ballotss16.
For the next half hour excitement
reigned supreme. Ladies laughed and
cried, men shouted, college yells and
tin horns were much in evidence, the
church and school bells united their sill
very tones to the chaotic music. This
might have continued much longer had
it not been for the cold disagreeable
rain which began about 8 o'clock. The
