No less than three marriages are to occur on that date. That of MISS CARRIE DUNN and R. S. MOSS, which takes place in the M. E. Church, at North Tazewell, at 8 p. m.: of MISS MAGGIE PERRY and MR. M. J. HANKINS, a home wedding, and MISS ALBERTA MOSS and W. B. F. WHITE, another home wedding. We are told that "In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." So, doubtless, these hymeneal endings are the natural sequence to "the little affairs" of the budding April. Well,"‘tis pleasant from the shore to watch the mariners tossed on the ocean, "so we old folk, whose affairs of the heart were settled so long ago that it makes us tired to think of it, can look on, and give the young people our blessings and "God speed" upon their journey through "that old world which is the new." All of these dear young people are well known here, have been the center of their social circles, and are subjects of numerous congratulations. " All the world loves a lover," and when those concerned have been our playmates, or we have known their fathers and mothers, the interest is doubled. Society in Tazewell will doubtless be quite gay this Autumn, owing to the attractions extended to these young couples by their relatives and friends. Furthermore, it has been slyly whispered that at least many more will shortly rivet their charms at the matrimonial altar. We could not say exactly where the rumor originated, but a "bird of the air shall carry a matter" of that kind. Karen EAGLE Moman arizonaeagle@qwest.net April 2002
