MARRIAGE

Il. FRIENDS
Were Bride and Groom on
Opposite Sides Forty
Years Ago.

CORNING, Ia, Jan. 1S.-Mrs. e.
r. Moore of Fresno, Cal, was mar
ried here to M. V. Spencer of Corn
ing under peculiarly romantic cir.
cumstances. Fifty-odd years ago
Mrs. Moore was one of the brides
and Spencer one of the grooms at
double wedding. Moore and Spen-
Ger and the girls who then became
their wives had been children to-
gether, and it was known from the
time that their engagements were
announced that they were to BE-
married at the same time. Soon
after the double wedding was cele-
brated the two young husbands en-
listed in the army and went south.
Mrs. Moore followed her husband
to the south and was near him and
Spencer for some time. She was
close at hand when the battle O..
Harper's Ferry was fought, and
later she nursed both men when
they lay wounded in a southern
hospital.
Some years after the war Mrs.
Moore's husband died and Spencer
lost his wife.
Mrs. Moore and Spencer had not
seen each other for forty years.
when a short time ago they met by
chance and fell in love with each
other.
A few days ago Mrs. Moore came
east from California to marry the
friend of her childhood.

gloom agent was on the point of
accepting, a neighbours cat strayed
across the back porch and spying
the cream jar, made an attack
with disastrous consequences. 1t
was up to the gloom agent to get
busy again and by the time the
round trip sprint of over three
quarters of mile for more cream
