Article Text: Married, at the residence of the bride's mother, on Wednesday, June 23, at 6 o'clock a.m., Mr. Andy CRABB to Miss Mattie ROWLAND, both of this county. This marriage proves the old adage to be true, that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. The same lady was to have been married to Mr. Jo. WILSON on the 1st of July, and every preparation had been made by the expectant groom and his attendants; but last Tuesday evening the fortunate and successful groom proposed, was accepted, and, without any unnecessary preparation, bore off the prize at 6 o'clock the next morning, even before the expectant groom was out of bed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
