Mondays Pocat clio Tribune has this
to say of two of Bear Lake county's
people: This morning two young peo-
pie OF Ovid Bear Lake county, appeared
fin the Office of the clerk of the court and
made application for marriage license.
They were Henry s. sleight and Miss
Nellie Peterson. AS soon as Los Camp
bell made out the papers the anxious
couple hied themselves to the Office Of
Probate Judge Tom Johnston and that
worthy performed the ceremony which
made them one for life. The Judge de-
ntes kisaing the BRIDE. but says he should
have done SO as the groom showed no
disposition to go through with that Gus
tomary adjunct to a successful mar
riage."
When the writer was appointed JUS
tice OF the peace last July, we announ-
csd that we would make no charge for
tying tie nuptial knot for the first cou.
pie that presented themselves to M.
We further suggested that we would
kiss the bride, bnt as we have not yet
had the privilege of performing mar
riage ceremony, we have concluded
that we made grave mistake In an
nouncing that the bride would be kissed
and we therefore reversed our decision
upon that point. However, the offer OF
a free ceremony still holds good. and as
our term Of Office expires the first Of
next January, we would be delighted TO
have the opportunity, before that time,
of uuiting in the holy bonds of matri
mony some gallant lad and winsome
lassie. We will guarantee to do the Job
in the latest approved style.
