otin'ry, Secretary Lennox, of the Col

harvested, to show the capabilities of
that section. It coneists of greenish,
jointed, hollow stalks, and suggests the
ortol reed that was the hiding-place of
Moses when Pharaoh's daughter found
im, several years ago. Some people
prefer bu'rushes to macaroni, anyway.
It is feared, however, that the Colfax
chamber of commerce did not plant the

store being the oldest in the city is there
fore a popular one with a'.l, and the new
management will only tend to increase
iti popularity. The very fact of the
choice which has been made in the man
agement will insure its success, for the

not many other features in its favor.
But, besides, it is intended to entirely
renovate and refit the store, placing in a
new stock o drugs and in every way
making it what a drug store should be,
neat and attractive, as well as full of the
best drugs, which, as Truman would sav,
are nota'M.ugon the market" when
it comes to selling and also curing. The
most important leature of all, however,

Where VV Wenhlngton Wedded?
Although one of the most Interesting
events in Washington's private life, his
wedding has been comparatively neglect
ed by the majority of his biographers,"
writes Williams Terrine in the July
Ladies' Home Joarnal. "It Is generally
agreed that the ceremony took place on
the sixth of January (or the 17th of
January, new style), 1759. But whether
It was performed in St. Peter's church,
in New Kent county, or at the home of
the bride,' known as the 'White House,'
there is a wide varlauce of opinion. Tbe
weight of local authority is against the
belief that it occurred in the church;
nor is there any record Ic the church in
dicating that the couple were married
there, although Its rector, the Rev. Mr.
Moseom, who had been in the pulpit for
forty years, solemnized the contract.
On tho oilier ban I, those who Insist
that the clergyman olllciated In the
chuic'i point to accounts that Washing
ton rodo on horseback on the day of the
wedding, and that the pair were attend-
ed by a bridal cavalcade, as evidence that
that there was a journey between the
church nn I the home of the bride. This,
however, is oiTivl by tha conjecture
that tho calvalcade was ercorting the
couplo immediately a'ter their marriage
to Mrs. Custis' housj in the town of
Williamsburg, or to Mount Vernon, and
that they were repairing thither to
spend the honeymoon."
