Mr.. Editor, | don rot want to
enter my protest too soon, but
when our girls are carried away
by blocks of three it seems our
matrimonial market will soon be
exhausted, but also when | sur
vey the matrimonial field | find
the supply abundant and to
spare, and as JeffersoI has al
ways been noted for its hand
some young men and beautiful
young girls, we could not blame
those young men for coming into
our midst and winning the
hearts Of these lovely maids, as
the writer was once the recipi
ent Of such blessing in years
that has gone by.
Miss Carrie Sue Mubly was a
d native of Jefferson, a re ,i,bnt
of College Hill ard a neighbor
girl. Miss Carrie is q tiae speci
men Of womanhood. She was a
faithful and loving girl. he prin-
clpal factor in society AID light
in the community. asnodei at
the tireside. Her life embodied
the highest ideals of American
womanhood. She was loved by
all who knew her and she was
true to all
Mr. Lanier is a noble and ODE
dent son, the pride of his father
and the JOY of his mother. He
is progressive farmer who
works beneath the skies, upon
whose shoulders the progress
and destiny Of the nation de-
ponds. Remem Der, the father Of
our country, George Washing

farmer than president.
Now, dear girls, we know we
will miss your sweet smiles and
loving voices, but it gives us JOY
to know you have some one to
love and care for you, but let us
say, he that is forwarned is for
armed.
Miss Carrie, the destiny Of
your home is in your hands, you
can make paradise of your fire
side and heaven of your home.
Let your advice and counsel fall
| upon your husbands ear like
silver arrows from a golden
culver.
Miss Ira, by sweet smiles and
counsel, you can be the queen of
your home; ever prove to your
husband that you love him and
your heart is his, then you can
hold his affections in the hollow
of your hand. Remember, that
one smile adds more to the de
light of the home chan a thous-
and groans. Let your counsel to
him be sweeter than the music
with which the angels salute
their gods.
Miss Mary, you will remem ber
that the greatest achievement
man ever made was through the
encouragement of some noble
woman. May you be to your
| husband fairer than the roses of
| Sharon, and loylier than the
songs OF Solomon and your coun-
sci will be to him as the grooming
of dove or a song of a whipo
will at midnight.
| Mr.. Breckenridge, may your
cup of JOY be ever full and over
| flowing. To speak of woman,
a man becomes poet and TO
lover her is an inspiration from
the throne of God, and if you
would make your home happy,
let your countship begin now.
He that loves his compaion hon
ors his God.
Mr. Groves, hope that neg
lected love will never fall upon
your brow. hope you will SPEAK
| kindly 20 your little bride. He
