The delegates to the Republican
county convention to nominate candi-
q ties for the legislature, has not yet
been selected, we believe.
We appeal to the honest Republican
farmers and citizens generally to turn
out to the primaries when called to e
lect their delegates aud see that men
ore selected who will not be in sympa-
thy with Stephen B. Elkins for the
u ;. Senate. The man who down
deep in his heart, is not convinced that
Elkins IL the representiYe of the money
over of the county must be dull of
mprehensior indeed. The truth is
that there are none in his favor except
ing those who hope to receive from him
cme substantial favor, but watch the
primaries and you will see all the old
flo aters there that attended the late
Democratic primary in this city, and
tI.y will be there at price per head.
.Aese are Elkins people so long as they
can get Elkins Doodle or Bowers boo
die. There would be no dangerof such
creatures running the primaries if the
good people would turn out.
To the delegates to the Democratic
county convention we say, be sure you
"a: none but true men on guard. Men,
whom you know cannot be bough ,tnot
even tempted 10y Elkins or his minions-
hey are shrewd set and would ifpos
sible deceive the very elect. They know
nosuch thing as conscience and will
go to the utmost depths for the sake of
winning. To Elkins a million would
be small price to pay for seat in the
senate and yet it wonld give his agents
nearly $4,000 ineis county to debauch
the voters

An Italian Weddlnq-

In one Of the churches on Baxter
street, in the center of THE downtown
colony, the marriage record reaches
the startling proportion of from twenty
to thirty day, and more on Sunday
during the early spring months. The
summer is comparatively marrlageless
but during the winter the record
reaches its zenith again.
For three successive Sundays the
banns are given from the pulpit, and
by this mesns the entire colony keeps
tabs on the brides, says Leslie's Week
ly.
The Italian girl has much easier
time With her trosseau than has her
American sister, for it is the duty of
the Italian bridegroom to furnish both
the wedding dress and the going-away
gown. AS the conventional honeymoon
and going-away custom has not yet
come in style with the Italians, the
latter dress is worn on the first public
appearance of the bride after the we'd
ding. The only other place on the
American continent where the bride
gr,om furnishes the wedding outfit is
among the Zuni Indians, where the
man werves it. The wedding dress OF
the Italian bride is almost invariably
of white satin or silk, the quality and
number of yards used being regulated
by the financial state Of the bridegroom
Orange blossoms of wax are always in
evidence, and the bride carries fresh
bouquet of fresh white flowers. In adj
dition to the wedding gown 1t is IN
cumbent upon the Italian bride groom
who wishes to do the correct thing to
bestow upon the bride certain jewelry.
Aside from the regulation ring she
generally receives a watch and chain,
a brooch and pair of earrings.
The ceremony over, carriages convey
the party from the church to the house
or hall where the celebration is to be
held.
