Show 'WEDDING IN BAREFOOT NATION. From the classic regions known in bygone by-gone days as "Barefoot Nation." in Leech township, this county, recently appeared an unsophisticated bride and bndeproom, who were married at the courthouse by Squire Dickey. The couple had arrived early in town and the bridegroom had bought his prospective bride a new pair of shoes, and they hurt her feet wofully. She worethem about an hour or so while shopping, but her feet hurt her so badly bad-ly she pulled off the shoes and went in her stocking feet to the courthouse, where, in the presence of the entire courthouse delegation and a score or more of lookers-on, she stood in a pair of striped stockings and said the vows. She was Mrs. Martha Jane Green and he was John Green, both of Golden Gate. She was the widow of her new husband's deceased brother, Frank Green, who was drowned a few months since while rafting logs. A honeymoon back home was taken in a tumbledown wagon. Fairfield Correspondence Cor-respondence St. Louis Globe-Democrat. |
