This marriage came as a dis
tinct surprise to friends of the
contracting parties, but notwith-
standing the fact that no invi-
tations were issued a large num-

popularity of the bride and
groom. The bride is highly es-
teemed for her many admirable
qualities and the groom is well
known throughout the county
and elsewhere in the State as 9
brilliant young lawyer. Until
lately Mr.. Cook was associated
with Mr.. d. P. Shaw in the
