Mr.. Erskine w. Snoddy, of Kiowa,
Kansas and Sadie Nicholson, of Moore
| township were united in the bonds of
matrimonY on Thursday evening the
first of December 1892, at the NJ. E.
parsonage in KiOwa. The ceremony
was performed by G. g. Rarick. The
parties are so we'll known that Erskine
should have spared himself the pains
of posting the probate judge to keep
mum to ''ye editor" for no one has
any hut the best of wishes and con.
gratulations to offer. The bride was q
lady spoken of in the highest terms by
all her friends. Erskine is a rising
young attorney. We extend them oul
congratulations and wish them the
same success and satisfaction in this
new undertaking that has hitherto at
tended them.
