The death of Judge Matt Turney, County Judge of Bourbon, on Saturday morning, 15 inst. Was startling from its suddenness. He retied the night before in his usual good health. On awakening at his regular hour for rising in the morning, complained of an acute pain in the stomach a nd deadness of his arm. Dr. Bowen was sent for and arrived very soon but Judge Turney had become speechless, and died almost immediately on the physician's entrance. The supposed cause was apoplexy. Funeral service at the residence, were conducted by Rev. Dr. Rutherford, of the Presbyterian Church, on Monday afternoon, which drew a very large assemblage of sympathizing friends, who followed the remains to burial in the Paris Cemetery. Judge Turney was a man of cheerful temper, bland manners, and a genial disposition; was widely known and very popular. No county in Kentucky could boast of a more competent or faithful man in this important office. Resolutions were adopted by the Bourbon county bar. County Court will meet Wednesday to elect a Judge to hold the office till August next, when one will be elected by the people to serve out Judge Turney's unexpired term. Among those spoken of as candidates are Russell Mann, Mayor Holladay, J. H. Brent and J. W. Lucas. Among those from a distance in attendance of the funeral were Judge B. F.

DH) The following is a special from Falmouth: Arthur Bradford, son of the late Wm. Bradford, of Pendleton County, has just returned from California. He left Pendleton county in 1852 and has only been heard from but once, about 20 years ago. His father, Mr. Wm. Bradford, resided near Falmouth and died some ten years ago. His estate was settled up and the money divided among the heirs, Arthur supposed to dead. His arrival and mysterious movements, and the subsequent disclosure of his identity caused considerable excitement, especially among the heirs. After leaving Falmouth he went to Butler, and there fell in with his brother, Thomas K. Bradford, and rode with him to his house, where told Tom and his family who he was. It is a pleasure to know that Arthur, during his residence on the Pacific slope, made money and it is not likely that he will give any trouble to his father's heirs. He is a single man.

Mr. Brown, the man who married 33 women, goes to prison for 4 ½ years. It is a pity to tear a man away from his family in this manner, but the majesty of the law can not consider domestic affection. He gives his legal wife and adopted son about 50 acres of land. Mr. & Mrs. Allen Bashford invite you to the marriage of their daughter Janey to Henry A. Porter Thursday, October eleventh high noon Methodist Church Paris, KY 1888 Mr. & Mrs. S. M. Wilmoth request your presence at the marriage ceremony of their daughter Mary Louise to Mr. Edward H. Ditchen Monday afternoon, October fifteenth 1888 at two o'clock Paris, Kentucky At Home after November first 614 Third Ave. Detroit Michigan Mr. J. Ware Foster, who moved about two years ago from Omaha, Neb to Douglas, Wyoming Territory, became imbued with the idea that "it is not good that a man should be left alone," so he came to Kentucky, wise man that he is, and selected from Millersburg's fair bevy of damsels, a fair, winsome and accomplished helpmate in the person of Miss Ida Victor. Wednesday evening at a quarter past seven o'clock in the Christian Church in this city, in the presence of God and the face of many witnesses, Mr. J. Ware and Miss Ida, with "golden circlet and clasped hands, were made one by President J. Augustus Williams, of Daughters' College, Harrodsburg. Long before the time announced for the ceremony to take place, the church was filled with anxious and interested friends, whose minds, while not engaged in eager, expectancy, were busy with the problem who next will be lead as a lamb to the hymenial alter?" A few minutes after the schedule hour, Miss Ida Howard, seated at the organ in the recess over the baptistry, and hidden in a beautiful glove of artistic and emerald decorations, began to tickle our ears with the inspiring notes of the Wedding March, while the bridal party entered the church and marched to the altar in the following order. Ushers: Mr. Bartlett Richard accompanying the groom; Mr. R. J. McMichael and Dr. C. B. Smith; Messrs, Royce Allen and Will Warren. Attendants: Mr. John Cromwell and Miss Maud Smedley; Mr. Allen D. Cole and Miss Fannie Whaley; Mr. Will Hays and Miss Lizzie Scearce Last the bride leaning upon the arm of Miss Mary Beardsley. The bride wore cream faille fancaise, duchess lace and pearls and in her hand a rich boquet of "bride roses." The following are the costumes of the bride-maids: Miss Lizzie Sceacre, of Chillicothe, OH, cream mousslcine de sole trimmed in point lace; diamond ornaments, Catharine mermets. Miss Mary Beardsley, of Maysvillssleine trimmed in point lace, pearl ornaments. Miss Fannie Whaley, of Cynthiana, delicate pink moire and sirrah; diamond ornaments and Mareschal Neil blooms. I ween 'twas the fairest set of brides-maids our town has ever seen, and stony indeed must be the hearts of those stalwart young men, upon whose arms they leaned and into whose eyes they so bewitchingly looked that evening, if their pulses did not quicken and they saw no visions of future connubial felicity. But I degress. The groomsmen wore the conventional cutaways, with "low necked" vests. After the ceremony, a goodly number of select guests found their way to the home of the bride's mother, where a feast that would have tempted the palate of an epicure, was spread in rich and royal abundance. The bridal presents were exceedingly numerous, aesthetically beautiful, useful, ornamental and highly suggestive of expended shekels. Mr. & Mrs. Foster left shortly after nine o'clock for Paris where they took the train and started upon a tour of Eastern cities. In the language of Snyder, "May they live long and prosper."
