AN AGED BRIDE.
Woman of 81 Years Marries
Her Early Love
On Anniversary of Her First
Husbands Death.
SEPARATED BY WAR.
Bride Is Sure That Marriage Is
Not a Failure.
Husband a Well Preserved Wild
ever of 20 Years.

Bridgeport, Conn, June 22.-Nrs-
Charlotte L Fox, aged 81, buried her
husband a year ago yesterday Last
night at o'clock she was married to
Enos Kelley, aged 20, a veteran of the
civil war.
The aged brides hair is as white as
snow and quite short. She wore at her
marriage wig of curly brown, which
gave her a youthful appearance.
The bridegroom, widower, is well
preserved. with iron gray hair He
fought in the battles of Gettysburg,
Fort Sumter and Fredericksburg, and
though in the tlickest of the fight, was
not seriously injured.
The marriage ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. D. B. Remington, of the
Berean church. at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs George La Hommedieu, a daughter
Of Mr.. Kelley
In their younger years Mr. and Mrs
Kelley were dear friends, but when the
war came Mr.. Kelley volunteered and
went to the front. This separated them
and both married years ago. Mr.. KeI-
ley's first wife died several years ago.
and when Mrs. Fox's husband died a
year ago the o1d-time love revived and
eliminated in an engagement
After the ceremony a number of the
young men and women of the nefghbor-
hood formed a procession and marched
by the house cheering and burning red
fire. Mr.. Kelley came to the door and
waved his hand good-naturedly and
bowed
Evidently you don't believe marriage
is a failure said a reporter to Mrs.
Kelley.
"A failure. should say I did not
think so. Do you think would be mar
ried at 81 years If thought it was a
failure?"

Mrs. Nellie Blyler, President of the
Ladies of the G. A. R., has the follow
ing to say about Peruna:
Gentlemen-'-In taking a medicine 1
consider it of vital in portance that you
should be sure that it is the right kind
and that it will cure.
As a rule patent medicines claim to
do much While they really do little; but
I will say for Peruna that it is the only
medicine ever knew that does all and
more than it claims.
Il recommend it especially for women
as it promptly cures the weaknesses of
our sex and will always be sure to give
satisfaction. Mrs Nellie Blyler.
