Burdick-Moore.

|
Mr.. Glen Burdick and Miss Winnie
Davis Moore, OF this city, were united
in marriage at Wickliffe, KY, last Sun
day morning, the ceremony being per-
formed by County Judge Moore at til e
Ballard County courthouse in the pres
ence OF Miss Gertrude Tomerlin and
Mr.. Dunn, OF Wickliffe.
Mr.. Burdick and Miss Moore left here
Friday morning, the latter to visit Miss
Tomerlin over Sunday. Mr.. Burdick s
car, in which they were travelling, sunk
in the mud, and the trip was finished
in surrey. On Saturday evening the
matrimonial plans were matured, and
on Sunday morning, after search war
rant had been issued for license and
minister, the young people luckily hap
pened to meet County Judge Moore.
Whether or not it was his namesake
who stimulated the Judges kindness,
or perhaps the fact that he recalled a
romance OF his own, matters little so
long as the Judge took the affair upon
himself, and, securing the license, paid
the highest compliment to the young
couple in one Of his most eloquent and
beautiful ceremonial rites.
A honeymoon excursion to Cairo fol-
lowed, where Mr.. Burdick arranged for
the shipment of his car home, and on
Monday morning the bride and groom
returned on the train to Union City.
The groom is ]. c. Burdick, Jr., we'll
and popularity known and esteemed,
big-hearted young man Of fine business
qualifications and enterprise. Mrs. Bur-
dick is young woman of the rarest
intellectual and personal graces. For
some time she has been connected with
an important position in the faculty Of
the Union City Schools, lately trans
ferred to the west side school at the
head OF the classes. She is daughter
of the late JAS. Moore, former Mayor
and well known citizen of Union City.
Congratulations are warmly extended.

Yes, it means much to me, moth
er dear, but it means nothing to the
world at large, and l have come to
believe that this constant explaining
to everyone you meet ones absolute
status in society is relic of the time
when woman was a chattel and was
handed from father to husband and
must bear emblaZoned on her person
something which might tell her his
tory and her owner. The moment
girl is engaged she tells it to every
body by means of more or less ex-
pensive engagement ring and upon
her marriage to it added the con-
ventional gold band which says, Yes,
I'm married.
But you notice that very few hus-
bands, to whom the sacrament Of
marriage is presumably as sacred as
to their wives, feel called upon to tag
themselves in a similar manner"
Don't you want people to know

Waverly in Mortified tones. .-.
