Our esteemed bachelor friend, 5. Pitts
Perry, was married last week to Miss Eliza
H. Terry. He made a model bachelor, and
as all good old bachelors make good nus
bands, we know he will make model nus
band; 1t is an easy matter for young man
to fall in love with pretty face and marry
but when an old bachelor concludes 10
surrender all his comforts of isolation and
independence, we may be sure he has 1ouna
a Jewel above price; hence, reasoning thus
we feel sure Pitts has found a good and true
woman, and we wish him much happ1ness
and Joy. As we write these words, rain
cloud and thunderstorm are passing Over
his neighborhOOd. May all kinds of storm
pass that high above his house.
