the handsome home of the brides
parents, 2O3 w. Boulevard at $3.50 in
the evening.
Miss Bragg is one of the loNeliest
and most charming young women In
Mexico society and the bridegroom to
be is well known here and is a young
man Of fine habits and business abil
ity. The Ledger joins friends in ad
vance 'n wishing them much success.
Chas. Adams and Miss Martha
Smith, both of Audraiu county, were
married in the study of the Chris
-tihn church here at O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon by the Rev. A. w.
Shullenberger. Both young people
are Of well known Audrain families
of the west end.
Like many of the prospective
bridegrooms, Mr.. Adams was subject
to much embarrassment when he call
ed at the office of the recorder to
procure his license, and had it not
been for the fact that he had his
prospective bride by his side, he
would probably have had to postpon
ed getting his license at that stat
ed time and CAN on the girl to
learn her first name.
Picking up a licnese blank, Record
er OF Deed, A. H. Whitney began fir
ing his usual questions The pros
pective groom answered all the
questions satisfactorily until Record
er Whitney asked Of him the Chris
tian name OF his bride to be.
For several minutes the applicant
for license gazed into space, began
to think, and finally excited and EN-
barasssed, said.
'Well er her name is-well Miss
Smith, but for his life could not
call her first name. Turning to her,
he said, ''What is your first manner"
She too embarrassed, yet appreciat
ing his situation whispered SOFTLY,
Martha"
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams win make
their future home in Audrain coun
ty. The Ledger extends congratu
lations.
