Records will repeatedly show Wed dings a t high noon, bu t.w o doubt whether there' were ever ’auy a t' the midnight hour, when man1had drawn the draperies of his couch' about him to lie ‘down’in peaceful, dreams^ A most remarkable Christmas was cele­ brated at.:the country home' of Mr. and Mrs. George Callaway, when their daughter, Edith. J ;, was united in niu'rriagc to Samuel^McGinnis. The story of .th e ’wedding, as re­ lated to us, is a s ’follow?: Mr, Calla­ way and the prospective- Son-in-law left’ this place about six p. ro., Wed* nesday forXenia, and after ft diligent search ot an hour or so found the Pro­ bate judge, he being a very impor ta u t factor in the case as he must deal,- out the papers-investing the proper- person with power to blend two lives till death doth.part, ‘ - . W ith the necessary papers in hand -encouragement from the Judge, the father and groom-to-be, wended their nay homeward happy irrthe thought of file coming event. . After reaching . town they edme-to the .conclusion that • gome one must be , employed to tic the nuptial knot. After some delib­ eration, Mr Callaway suggested that they secure Mayor Wolford, he being an intimate friend of his, aS he has frequently had dealings with J . H . since the M ayoralty was ,con fefred upon him. , . * A t about ten-thirty ttifemerry,party left for the scene o f the coming event,- which, with the license and the Mayor secure,-Was bound to come off In tip top shape. Upon reaching the home the May­ or was introduced to ail the hospital­ ity of tiie Callaways, And after some little preparation the bride and groom appeared unattended. A t exactly eleven-forty-five the Mayor* with his Usual grace and dignity, pronounced them man and wife. Congratulations followed,' after -which came a sump­ tuous repast, consisting of turkey, • Oysters, cranberries and a lt the deli­ cacies o f the season , Borne twenty guests were seated at the first table. The midnight hour now being past, the -Wedding feast comes in iinddr the list o f wedding breakfasts, so much ail Vogue in larger ' cities. The remainder o f the evening, or rather morning, Was spent in a social mauher. The bride has not a s yet reached the age- of sixteen by a month or So, while the groom had passed some thirty-six years befdre finding a hfe partner. The newly married Couph^ will re­ side in Springfield, the groom befog somewhat, o f an experienced; scale- repairer. ' " THE DIRT EATERS. In addition to having an embryo exposition on her hands 8 t. Louil fe the headquarters o f a community of dirt-eaters. This society Is composed of seventy-five men and women who believe that by eating dirt people may do away with doctors. Nor do the devotees o f this new science Oat dirt figuratively, after, the manner of the man who saSses a stranger and then finds out that he is gazfog upOfi the countenance o f a champion pugilist. Their d irt eating is done literally* They believe tha t the human stom­ ach, th# gizzard o f* Shanghai rooster* ^aquiree grit. They point out the foot th a t animals eat d irt and do not nave to be operated on fo* appen* die!tfc, and they have, therefore, ©tune to the conclusion that a spoonful o ff djrt in time may save a quart of med­ icine." '■ , The society was organized by «Wil. liam Windsor, n lawyer and an am ateur scientist, who declares that any one can soon become so addicted to dirt-eating That he waits with ill-con ’ ceiiled qnxiety for his daily allowance. T t must not be Understood that the dirt-eater expects to become gritty by eating siich d irt as wesometimes have in the streets ot Chicfigo. ,That might da well enough if the d irt enter'wished to go into: the bunko steering-business or any other line where plickness alid smoothness would'be likely to c&medn handy* h u t t£h| •SfoLouis dirt-eaters will have only a- certain-kind of. rani terial that is found in tiiq river bot­ toms’.
