| Bert McNutt recently acted quite
suspiciously which set his many
friends to wondering what was up
and they were still more mystified

a trip south and their apprehensions
and misgivings were only scattered to
the four winds when Bert alighted
from the train and clinging to his
arm was a good looking Oklahoma
flower plucked from the parent
home, the only flower in the family
of Mr.. and Mrs. Owen of that state,
who formerly resided near this town.
Bert introduced his bride and con-
CALCULATIONS hearty and sincere were
showered upon the happy couple, and
on their arrival at his home a
reception was held to which all their
neighbors and friends considered
themselves invited, and social even
| ing passed. Later in the evening the
tin horn brigade gave them rousing
serenade. The couple 60 to house,
keeping under the happiest surround
ings which their friends wish may
never be married.
