side the harbor there was gale of wind
blowing making navigation so dangerous

beyond Portland light. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were blown down and much

The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1888-12-29
Johnson---Stowell.

On the 18th instant, at Wooster,
Mass, our genial townsman, George
J. johnson, joined the army of BEN
edicts and was united in marriage
TO Miss Anna d. Stowell of that
place. The KEYSTONE offers the
most sincere congratulations to the
happy couple and wishes them all
the happiness possible for life to
bestow. The discussion of the mo-
mentous question, Is marriage q
failure" which is now filling the
columns of the press, does not de-
ter fond hearts from entering the
state of matrimony so as to be able
to solve the problem for themselves.
We feel safe in offering the prophesy
that when we ask Mr.. Johnson,
after a time, he will tell us that
marriage is not failure, for George
is a man that will not admit that
there is such word as fail for him,
and it is to such men that success
comes in every line, sooner or later.
We hope Mr.. Johnson and his bride
will soon be here to found another
of the happy homes of which
Ketchum has so many, and in which
the unanimous verdict is that mar
rage is an undoubted success.
