About six miles Just east Of town.
A farmer ana his wife
And family of ivs-thrse boys, two girls,
Have lived . prosperous life.
This man il known both far and Ear,
His name is 8. o. Wright;
He 10 . strong Alliance man..
And Is foremost In the fight.
Happily they lived upon their farm
For eight long years or 80;
But now ones gone to dwell with him
She calls her welded beau.
Last Wednesday night at half past SIX,
Whilst the wind was blowing high;
Up drove young Locke with Joseph Jones. and
Bro. Hill,
Who came the knot to tie.
A crowd of friends from far and near.
All jolly as could be,
We're waiting now with expectant look.
II bride and groom to see.
Mrs. Erisman played the wedding march.
At seven o 'clock or near.
When Stella Gillispie and Obie Wright
With the couple did appear.
They marched right with steadfast step,
To where the crowd stood round;
And with graceful words and modest prayer.
In wedlock thsy were bound.
Young Jones declared twas hardly fair.
To lose the first sweet kiss;
So then and there he kissed the bride,
o, happy welded bliss.
Twas soon announced twas supper time,
And out they marched in pairs;
To psrtake of the daintiest delicacies,
Ever served In china wares.
Twas Bro. Hill for mirth and Jokes.
Twas H Jones for fun and rocks;
Stella Gillspie the needle found,
The finger ring our young friend Locke.
There's Beulah and Roy and Dave and obis,
Who wish their sister well;
Whose time Il come next we do not know,
But think that Obie could tell.
Carrie, there's one more thought we win ex-
press,
And hope that you'll remember;
II ever you get married again,
Choose a warm day In September.
So here III close this little verse,
So wondrously constructed;
1t Is our first attempt at poetry. >
1t will be our last, by the hocus pocus.''
