The Ribble=Crow NuptiaIs

At the home of the brides parents
Mr. and Mrs. John A. Crow of Carroll
ton, Iowa, Tuesday last, Oct. 3, 1905,
occurred the marriage of their only
child, Miss Nellie Grow to Mr.. Fred
Ribble both of Carrollton, Iowa.
Miss Nellie Grow in our opinion is
one of the finest young ladies that ev.
err lived, loving, kind, true and in fact
faultless. She is well calculated to
make a home an earthly heaven. Mr..
Ribble is an honorable young man
without blemish. Square in his deal
ings with his fellowmen, devoid of
tIickery and INSCRIPTIONS machina-
tons, noble in sentiment, exemplary
in character and steady as clockwork
in his habits, The Journal force
wishes them unbounded joy, comforts
and blessings.
