In the above notice we chronicle the
matrimonial step taken by one of the
many young men who began life in this
city, and there are many to follow his
example. Will Human had resided here
for the greater part of his life until
about three years ago, when he moved
to Sioux City, and took q position as
pressman in the Journal job Office. His
vocation was acquired in the Press and
Dakotaian office, where he began as a
feed boy on one of the presses. He has
by close application to business, made
for himself so good a reputation as a
pressman that he is now at the head of
that department. in the Journal office, q
place that cannot be filled except by an
experienced hand. He is also o young
man of excellent habits, and will GER
talnly make this attempt in q new enter
prize q happy success. The bride is un-
known in Yankton, but we have much
faith in the groom's judgment, and
therefore feel warranted in saying she
is a most estimable young lady. The
wedding was o quiet affair, there being
no one present excepting the members
of the family and two of the friends OF
the groom. The groom's parents made
the couple o present of q complete set
of silver ware and they were the recipi-
ents of many gifts, which, while not SO
substantial, will count, namely, the good
wishes of their friends, in this city.
Long life and a happy one to them.
