ROSS - PATTON
Jasper Eagle: A wedding has occurred in Jasper at
last. Last Wednesday evening two throbbing hearts were made to hump as
one, and two colored souls were given a single thought. The blushing
bride was gorgeously arrayed and answered to the poetical name of JANE
PATTON. The groom bore the proud cognomen of ROSS - SPRINGFIELD ALBERT
ROSS. GEORGE WASHIGNTON DAVIS, the village barber shoemaker, preacher,
and stove-repairer performed the ceremony in a peculiar, grand, sublime
and flourishing manner, and as a final finish the Reverend GEORGE said
in a tone of august solemnity: "When folks is jined together let no man
bust a cinder." The curtain dropped and we all went home.
