MARRIED.

Our popular young Justice of
the place, George A. Harris, of
Licking Creek township, although
in commission but week, has
already married more couples
than the editor of the News did
in serving a term of five years.
1t is, perhaps, only fair to say
that the editor only married one
couple and that the husband in
that case, died. 1t was hardly
fair to blame him with that but
it ruined his business in the
matrimonial line. Every one of
Georges people are living and
doing well. The last knot tied by
him was on Wednesday of last
week when at his Office at Spring
Tannery he united Mr.. Orville
Roy Duvall, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. II. Duvall, of Brush Creek
township, and Miss Retta Eliza
beth Strait, of Licking Creek
township. The Fulton county
News extends best wishes to the
happy young couple.
