He did no liminess and lest all his lightning rods. The prosecuting attorney said that getting the best of a horse trade was no vio- lation of the law and the man left fur the east, saying bank presidents were easier than farmers. Its nearly time for the farmer to have his innings. —An exchange prints the follow- ing marriage ceremony which was said by a Tennessee squire a short time ago : " Wilt thou take her for thy pard ; for better or worse ; to have, to hold, to fondly guard till hauled off in a hearse?
