very good likeness Of the old major and
his bride They have been married less
than three months, and are each on the
shady side of 60
Mrs. Rogers called Wednesday for a
proof and expressed a desire to see the
first plate. on holding the plate up to the
light the photographer saw three figures;
one of a man appearing between the
major and Mrs Rogers Handing 1t to
the lady she glanced a 1t and went into
hysterics, eXclaiming IL IS - (her first

nothing about it. as Il would scare the

matter became known, and soon spread
