custom at marriage for the clergyman
to kiss~the bride after the ceremony. A
young lady who was about to be married
In the church did not relish the prog
meet and instructed her prospective hus-
hand when making ARRANGEMENTS to tell
the clergyman that she did not wish him
to kiss her. The bridegroom did as d.
rected.
well, George said the young ladv
when he appeared. did you tell the cler-
gyman that ! did not wish him to kiss
me?"
"Oh, yes II
"And what did he say?''
He said that in that case he would
charge only half the usual fee."

1T would be hard to find," said a

tile Co., and John N. Prices fine

striking and badly bruising his chest,
on the right side. 1t was very

have been vastly different.

Bank has made yearly contract for
special position on The Herald s
front page. Though the writer
strives to make each position in the
paper of equal value with the other,
still, it would not do for all to think
alike, and as the advertising space
of The Herald is for sale, any adver
tiser may take and retain any partic
ular space not previously contracted
for by contracting at slight adj
vance on the regular advertising
rates.

not know that he takes The Herald
in the spirit that it is intended. This
is probably an oversight on his part,
but if he will come through with
the peaches we'll see that he gets
The Herald. And if anyone should
ask you, it pays to advertise. Hardly
had the foregoing been in type be-
fore Mr.. Mackey presented us with a
basket of as fine peaches as we ever
ate.
