! Guthrie o. T, March 5.-The Edmond
! Enterprise has noted what is a fact and
! that is that weddings of late have been
I unusually infrequent The Enterprise
/ says: We are at = loss TO account for
I the fact that there has not been 4 we'd
/ ding in Edmond since leap year began
/ 1t is well nigh deplorable. considering the
/ fact that there is SO much good material
here
/ one Edmond young man has been cap
/ tured but that was by fair giri from an
other town and not by any of our hand
/ some bellies.
/ We can not believe that the boys are
| too shy nor that the girls are too timid
! because they are for the most part thrown
/ in each others company daily and that
/ always removes timidity and shyness-
/ 1t can not be for fear OF not being able
! TO care for and make living for his wife
that keeps the man from proposing. II a
man can barely make living for himself
he ought to be able to make good liv-
ing he has his wife to help nm; and
furthermore you viii not find one man in
a hundred that ever saves anything or
amounts to much until he gets a mate
