~. Aieiuey, WAS SolemnlZed the mar
riage of Miss Wayne Wiley of this
place to John Moran of Waterloo.
Several weeks ago the contracting
parties left these parts rather sec
reilly and rumor among the gossips
declared that it was an
elopement. Such, however, was not
the case. Mr.. Moran, who had been
engaged in work of promiscuous ma
ture in this vicinity for several
months past departed for Waterloo
to prepare home for his future
bride, while Miss Wiley withdrew to
the home of her aunt, Miss Kane
at Centralia, who has long been her
devouted friend, where final arrange
ments for the day were made. The
bride was handsomely gowned in al
travelling suit of lavender silk with
hat to match. The groom was at
tired in black. The bride has grown
to womanhood in this vicinity and
was well and widely known by young
folks especially with whom she SEEM
ed at all times popular. The groom
during his brief sojourn here also be-
came widely known among the young
er class, as he possesses to a re-
markable degree an aptitude for max.
ing friends, a trait not easily ac-
CURED. He has accepted a position
with the Litchfield Manufacturing Co
at Waterloo. Mr.. Moran and wife
will be at home to friends after Oct.
