Forsyth Chronicle: J. W. Bostwlck, who
resides In MidJlebrooks district, informs
us that sihce the fearful freeze on the 26th
of March, 1895, that no blue birds have
beerr seen in this section of the country.
Before and up to that freeze the country
was Infested with these birds, but since
then none have been seen. Mr. Bostwlck
on last Friday, for the first time, saw a
drove of blue birds in his swamps on his
plantation. The mysterious and sudden
absence of these birds has been accounted
for on the theory that they were all frozen..
This theory is at least plausible. Mr.
Bostwlck is one our most thrifty and suc
cessful farmers, and says he Is rejoiced to
tee these birds return, as they are more
valuable to the farmer than any other
bird. He claims they come nearer destroy
ing the worms, bugs and other insects
than any other bird known in this sec
tion.
The suit attacking the legality of Ihe
act of 1895 adopting the new code is as
suming a serious phase. The Supreme
Court has notified Ihe aGorneys in several
cases turning on ihe constitutionality of
statutes embodied in that code that the
case involving the validity of the act
adopting the code will be argued at the
March term, and has advised such attor
neys to be present at the hearing. Thih
shows in a practical way the importance
of the case to test the effect of the adop
tion of the cade by the. legislature. It is
said that there are in the code something
like a hundred statutes on whose constitu
tionality doubt is cast by reason of defects
In their captions. The question is whether
these defects were cured by the act adopt
ing the code as a whole. Judge John t.
Hall, attorney for the Central of Georgia
Railway, has raised the point that the act
does not have that effect because, under
the stute constitution, every statute, be
fore becoming a law, must be read three
times In each houVe of the general as
sembly. He also raises the point that sev
eral acts cover more than o'ne subject
matter, whereas the constitution provides
that no act shall have more than one sub
ject matter. This. view makes the coda
a mere compilation of laws, which does
not make anything law which was not
law before.

employed to take the coal from the lighter
and place it on board of the steamship.
Three of the company’s coal buckets and
shovels went overboard and sunk with the

SMOCK MARRIAGES.
Qneer Customs Which Prevailed a
Century Ago.
Correspondence in Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A Bangor lawyer attending court in the
ancient town of Wlscasset went rummag
ing recently In the colonial court record?
of the place, and in the course of his read
ing ran across the official registration of
a "smock marriage.” Not knowing what
sort of marriage that was, he looked fur
ther, and got considerable light upon a
custom that prevailed in England a cen
tury or two ago, and also to some extent
in the American colonies.
Smock marriages were weddings where
the bride appeared dressed in a white
sheet or chemise. The reason of such a
garb was the belief that if a man married
a woman who was in debt he could he
held liable for her indebtedness if he re
ceived her with any of her property; and,
also, that it a woman married a man who
was in debt hts creditors could not take
her property, to satisfy their claims if he
received nothing from her.
In England there was at least one case
where the bride was clothed puris natur
alibus while the ceremony was being per
formed in the great church at Birming
ham. The minister at lirst refused to per
form the ceremo%v, but finding nothing in
the rubric that would excuse him from ex
ercising his functions, he married the
pall*.
To carry oflt the law fully, as the peo
pie understand It, the ceremony should al
ways hove been performed as it was in the
Birmingham Church. But, modesty forbid
ding, various expedients were used to ac
complish the desired purpose and yet
avoid'the undesirable features. Sometimes
the bride stood in a closet and put her
hand through a hole in the door; some
times she stood behind a cloth screen and
put hex hand out at one side; again she
wound about her a white sheet furnished
for the purpose by the bridegroom, and
sometimes she stood in her chemise or
smock. Eventually, In Essex county, at
least, all immodesty was avoided by the
bridegroom’s furnishing to the bride all the
clothes she wore, retaining title to the
Same in himself. This he did in the pres
ence of witnesses, that he might prove the
fact in case he was sued for any debts
she might have contracted. A marriage of
this kind occurred at Bradford in 1733.
It is noted by the same writer that in
all cases of smock marriages that have
come to his knowledge the brides have been
widows.
Tt is thought that during the reign of
George 111. there were many smock mar
riages in Maine, ttierj a part of the prov
ince of Massachusetts Bay—chiefly in Lin
coln and York counties, or in the territory
which is now so known. There is nothing
to show that the., practice outlived the
Revolution. In Maine, up to 1852, a husband
was liable for debts pf his wife contracted
before marriage, and no'such subterfuge
as the smock marriage could relieve him.

The 1898 wheel is the finest and handsomest one on the market. Pay what
you wifi for a wheel, but you cannot find one that is the equal of the Crawford. We
have sold over two thousand of them, and we are to have the first one returned to
us broken. What other wheel has such a record? Take all the other wheels put
together and you will not find as many on the streets as Crawfords, but look Into
the repair shops and see how many you will find there of other makes and how few
Crawfords. The next best thing, on the market is
READ'S ODORLESS REFRIGERATORS.
No smell, no foul air, no contamination of the milk and butter if you should

Who else will? After this it) the way of good things comes our line of

Every one of thousand we have sold is giving satisfaction.
