ROMANCE OF A PURSE.

An Ohio County farmer whose
name, for obvious reasons we de-
cline to mention, was recently mar
ried to a lady (nam/ also censored)
and thereby hangs tale. But II
rumor has it true, IL all grew out of
lost money purse which brought
him to an intimate understanding
with the finder thereof.
Neither party of this romance are
young in years. In fact the groom s
hair is white as the snowdrift in
January, where there is any hair,
but about, as scarce as said snow
drift in June. The bride also is on
the leeward side of life's meridian
and both had journeyed the matri-
monial pathway before.
In the section where these par
ties live there is great deal of in
trest in local meetings, when the
neighbors come together and con
duct "singings." The lady in the
case recently gave singing and the
hero was present. AS chairs were
II occupied the guests all sat on the
Jcds or whatever could be found
convenient The groom took the
led for a seat.
The next mirning he noticed that
lis purse was gone and fastened ov-
or to the lady's house to inquire.
OF course she knew nothing of Il
and proceeded to say so. 1t Is said
angry words followed. Finally the
lady began making up" the bed
and found the purse snugly hidden
away in the folds of blanket as
though placed there by cunning
hands to make necessary another
trip to her house. A big laugh, ex-
plantations followed and the farmer
made more frequent trips to her
house, till few days ago he OBJ
tanned license from the County
Court Clerk and the twain were
made one. In the language of the
fairy story, may they live happily ev-
er afterward.

OF Mrs. Estill Tichenor, who de-
parted this life November s, 1918.
She was the Oldest daughter of Mr..

born November 20, 1878. She was

one we loved so well, yet there is
that consoling thought that she has

the boches the balloon was hauled
down.
