Wedding Worries.

In regard to public wedding which
when It has been given in Keokuk
before at fair time, has been a sue
cess and the means OF attracting
thousands of visitors to the city on
that day, one Of the directors said:
I'VE have thought the matter over
well and decided that public we'd
ding is not 'sacrilege' that some
people try to make 1t out to be. 1t
has been the means of attracting
many people to the fair and had been
one OF the enjoyable features OF Keo-
kuk's week OF entertainment in fairs
gone past. It is said by some that the
solemnity and right spirit of public
marriage is removed when the couple
ascends the platform to be united, but
we do not know of case Of any pub
lie wedding that has occurred in
keokuk, where the couples have not
lived happily ever afterward, anyway
up to the present time.
Besides being attractive to many
who witness the ceremony from the
side walks and thoroughfares, the
young couples or old, whichever they
may be, are well equipped to start
housekeeping with the many useful
articles presented them by the fair
association and the merchants in gen
eral. We are all of one mind; if the
couples are willing to submit to a
public wedding, that is their business
and pleasure Many noted men and
| women have been married at a pub
llic ceremony and no possible harm
can be made out Of it. Those who
don't wish to stay at home and see
the wedding. can go fishing or dc
something else less attractive than
seeing the happy couple embark upon
the sea of matrimony"
