Squire Ezra Budd Stevenson was aroused
from his Beverly home at midnight Thurs
day by terrific pounding on his front
door. Sticking his head out the window
the Squire asked who was dead. but was
told by John Gilleste, who with Mrs.
Elizabeth Dietrich were at the Justices
front door, that they wanted him to come
down and marry them. The Squire did
so, but as the whole neighborhood was
wrapped in righteous slumber he was COM
PEELED to awaken his wife and son to act
as witnesses.
Gilleste is plumber, who has been en-
ployed at night, and while he had agreed
to marry Mrs. Dietrich, he had forgotten
the date Of the wedding until late.
Cupid has been doing rushing bust
ness around New Egypt during the last
ten days, and every manageable young
man left in town now is beginning to
wonder If it's to be his turn next, for it
seems that so many of his chums have been
carried away by Cupid's wiles that no one
can feel safe. Out of large number of
young persons in the village at least half
of them already made arrangements, >"
about dozen have actually ''tied the
knots" and the balance are looking SER
ious." Besides, the Bachelors Club"
has closed its doors on account of
loss of membership, and the "Old Maids
CIRCLE" will probably soon follow suit.
Some of the newly welded pairs are Mr..
and Mrs. Adam Spence, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Francis, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert GRAY
att, Mr.. and Mrs. G. ]. Oliphant and Mr..
and Mrs. W. L. Schofeld
