Marriage and Machines.  Yesterday evening, the Rev. J.V. Bailey united in 
marriage, Mr. Ben. F. Laswell, of Jefferson City, and Miss Bettie Mills, of 
this city.  Miss Bettie has been a citizen of this city for a month or two, and 
by her quiet demeanor, made many friends.  She was a seamstress and all of our 
young Sewing Machine Agents were anxious to sell the lass a machine.  She had 
some four or five on trial (we mean the machines) and when it became public 
that she had not only married but had gone to Colorado, there was a general 
rush this morning, by the agents to get their sewers.
They found them at her late boarding house in good order, and each took his 
model and with a solemn tread and ghastly mien, wended his way to his office, 
thankful that though he was bereft, he had not lost his $85 machine.  Here we 
part company and leave all of the agents to their tender or bitter memories, as 
the case may be. – Sedalia Dem.

Has broken many more!”
