MADE A MUDDLE OF IT.
Ycu-g Couple Who Wantsd to do Rl*ht
but Couldn't.
A certain yonng man of this county,
desiring to wed a Pierce county maiden,
obtained license in Ware anti the par
ties were made man and wife in Pierce,
when they crossed the line of the
counties and took np their abode in
Ware county. On being informed that
lie should have taken cut license in the
county where the marriage ceremony
was performed, he then took oat license
in Pierce county, niter himself and wife
had been living together in Ware and
bad the marriage ceremony performed
again, which, of course, was not legal,
any more than was the first perform
ance, because both parties were then
residents of Ware county. The inten
tions oi the participants to be strictly
legal has only made a muddle of the
whole proceeding, which, po doubt,
is mortifying to the lady and gentle
man, therefore, their names are stir-
pressed.—Waycrott Headlight.
A 8INCULAR CASE.
A Question forth* M.elcnlMento D.cldr
and Think Over.
One of the most singular coincidences
whicli has ever come to ottr knowledge
has just taken placo in this county.
About ten years ago a Mrs. Gary died
from -the effects of measles In this
>lace. Tills insidious disease affected
ler in such a way as to cause an an-
uerism of the left femoraljartery. From
a clot of blood in tho main artery of the
left leg mortification set in and caused
the lady’s death. Y’esterday oat at
Mr. Joseph Sheppard’s, in this county,
Dr. H. F. Andrews and Dr. John
Hill amputated the leg of Mrs.
Hendricks, a lady about sixty years of
age. She has just had an attack of
measles which caused the large artery
in the left leg to be affected exactlv as
was that in the above cose. What
makes this coincidence so very singular
la that these two ladles were twin sis
ters. We do not suppose that in all
the medical records there is a similar
case recorded. Whether or not these
two ladies, being twin sisters, were so
constituted as to have the same weak
ness at the same point in their physical
structure, is a matter for surmise; but
the fact remains that the same disease
which affected the one so very pecu
liarly affected the other in procitcly the
samo war.— Wathington Gazette.

stood on the roof of the United States
Steam Transfer barge office barge
Thomas Hunt and gazed alternately
from the slowly approaching city np in
to the face of a large man of fleshy as
pect, to whom she was linked in a
friendly coupling of interlaced elbows.
The man looked aa if he might be the
father of the woman. The woman
looked as if she might be the bride of
the man. He waa very corpulent and
big boned, and hie 1st, greasy face
was encircled by a fringe of coarse
burly hair cut .4 la Horace Greely.
The young woman was a bride—the
bride of a church—the man—well, it
did not require a signboard to mark
him down a saint, but one of the latter
day, Salt Lake City variety—in short,
a Mormon missionary anil a favorite
convert.
There were other drab colored yonng
women on the Thomas Hunt and other
unwholesome looking men. The for
mer greatly outnumbered the ;lat-
and gave the boat the ap
pearance of . having several
"largo families of rirla” on'board.
There were older and less stttractive
women of family, with their earthly
children, belonging to the same party,
but they were the animals of the Mor
mon kingdom and had to come ashore
by the Castle Garden route. Thirty out
of a pilgrim bend of 541 basked
in the sunshine of the well-to-do mit-

“Dear Elder,” said the first named
bride of the church, “what is yon

“No, dear child," said the elder with
an elderly grin, “that is Fort William,

"Ah! now 1 see a temple, I am

as the young woman clapped her

Saturday Usiternoon I went’ome pretty

Hatter a while, she said that Hi’d bet

Toting a Watermelon.
PitUburg Chronicle.
Well, he is here at last—tbe same old
chip, with the seme old pnlied-before-he-
was-ripe look on bis face. He appeared to
be ashamed of himself as 1 gazed intently
at him, and looked as though he would
like to roll away back under the huckster’s
bench; but it was uielest—I hid already
sized him up for a complalot to the board
ot health. Who am I talking about? Why,
the First Watermelon, of course. There
were several of him, but he failed to
create a favorable Impression on me, al
though be did succeed in awaking ten
der recollections of the oast. Vivid
recollections would probably be nearer
correct. Ooce I looked upon the water
melon when he was red (Inwardly), and at
length purchased bin, after a careful
thumping of hia riba to see it he was sound.
(I never like to plug a melon—it loots aa
if you doubt the huckster’s veracity )
Well, having purchased him, the next
thing was to get my prize home. He was
a fat, heallhy-looklng specimen, weighing
about twenty ponnd* -nts original Wright
I well remember. Gathering him under
one arm (in ohancery, 1 believe they call
it), I started off serenely, but before a
square bad been traversed I found
ihet the rnglon weighed forty pound* if
it weighed an ounce. After a brief rest I
got him under the other arm, and almost
dropped him aa another square was cov
ered, for he had grown tan pounds heavier
in that distance. It began to look aa
though I had bitten off more than could
be properly masticated, but I determined
to get the melon home or perish iu the at-
tempt. I now claipcd both arms tightly
around it and carried it in front of me.
Heavier and heavier grew my burden, but
I staggered on, and finally laid it down
within a square of home, lly tbit time
it weighed eighty pounds—not a penny
weight less—and 1 was thoruusbly
exhausted. Nerving myself for one last
supreme effort, I shouldered it iggln and
started off, oheeied by the thought that In
a few moments more all would be over.
Nearer and nearer home-half way there
—at last the pavement Is reached In front
of my bouse, whan, oh, horror! my
cr npe-1 fingers suddenly and involuntary
unclasped, tbe trescberoui melon slipped
from my ahonlder, there was a wild clutch
ing at the air, and then a dull, sqaasby
sound—th* melon ley at my feet, dashed
to fragments. And in front of my own
door! Vivid recollection! Yes, quite
vivid.
