Cupid Wins

In palatial, beautifully, APP
pointed home, on the edge of
Harrodsburg, lovely girl budded
and bloomed into Womanhood
Across the pike a little farther
out, in another luxurious home,
an only son grew into fine young
manhood. Moving in the same
social set and being much thrown
together they easily learned to
obey the scriptural command
Love thy neighbor as thysef,"
or even quite a ibit better. Too
late, PARENTAL disquietude took
command and parental objections
doomed above the horizon because
it seemed over-soon for the home
nest to be deserted. For a time
despair reigned in the camp, but
love as usuallaughed at objections
and the childhood playmates and
ooyhood and girlhood lovers be-
came man and wife without par
entail sanction or knowledge.
Such is the story in a nutshell of
the marriage of Miss Anita Moore
and Mr., Henry Coleman in Louis
vile last Thursday.
Miss Moore had been in Louis
vile several days attending a
class reunion. Mr.. Coleman had
been in the same city for two
days, ostensibly on business.
After a class banquet Thursday
Miss Moore was joined by Mr..
Coleman and they repaired to
the parlors of the First Christian
Church. where they were united
in marriage by Rev. E. L. Powell.
They took the evening train for
Washington, D. c., where they
are visiting the groom's aunt,
Mrs, w. F. Dennis. From there
they will go to New York City.
The bride is the eldest daughter
of Colonel and Mrs. D. L. Moore.
and her reputation for beauty and
charming graciousness of manner
extend far beyond the confines OF
her own State.
The groom is the only son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Coleman and
enjoys general popularity be
cause of his affability, courtes,
a n d admirable qualities Of
character.

hints of the wedding of these

CONCRETE TO HOLD A RIVER
Material Used to Patch Holes in Bed
Through Which the Water Period
lcaIly vanishes.

It has been found necessary to put
another patch on the bed of the Blanco
river, says the Martindale (Tex.) Dis
patch. This stream has remarkable
way of losing itself. and In order to
restore 1t 10 its surface channel.
concrete patch has been placed upon
the holes through which 1t disappears
For many years 1t has been empty
ing portions of Its flow into small
holes in its bed, but 1t was not until
about a year ago that the entire bot
tom, so to speak. dropped out at a
,point near San Marcos.
In one night the river below that
point went dry. 1t had had a width
of nearly 200 feet and was flowing a
strong current until the sudden dis
appearance of the water. The drying
up of the stream meant heavy losses
to persons dependent upon it for water
supply.
Civil engineers were consulted in re-
gard to restoring the flow, and 1t was
