formed by Dave Laudenheiber thac
the BOSTON Shoe Store would donate
to the Leap Year bride the finest pair
of silk stockings carried in stock. The
only proviso is that the bride must

February 29th and aver that she pop
ned the question. Mr.. Lehan will fur
nish a free marriage license, the cou-
ple can be married free of charge,
and a number of presents have al
ready been offered the prospective
couple.
Jones Smoke House offers 81 box
of candy.
More offers will doubtless be made
before the 29th arrives.
A very significant feature in con-
nection with the matter is that there
has not been single white marriage
license issued in Warren county since
February l6.
Gilland Sherard, deputy circuit
clerk. is of the opinion that num-
ber of couples are postponing their
marriages. and will wait until the
90. when they may claim some OF the
many generous offers that have al
ready been made.
The couple not only will have the
opportunity to get free marriage
license, but they will have the option
of being married, free of charge, eth
er by a minister or justice of the
Custom permits the Leap Year girl
to make an avowal of her loye to any
timid man who hasn't the courage
to ask for trial in double harness.
Girls are making proposals every
where, every day, and perhaps in
vicksburg. The 29th will tell the tale,
and show just how local feminity
has been using Dan Cupid to their
own ends and purposes.
Circuit Clerk Lehan has heard that
number of Vicksburg merchants
are holding off in making offers to
the Leap Year couple.
The public has become very much
interested and the 29th of this month
may be gala day in vicksburg.
