MINISTER'S SON ELOPES
Howard Ormsbee and Miss
Letha Cavanah Marry
in CarrOlIton

One of the big surprises in the
matrimonial line that happened
in this city for some time was
the marriage of Howard Orms-
bee, son of Rev. G. C. 0rmsbee
of the Baptist church of this city
and Miss Letha Cavanah daught-
er of Ed Cavanah living eight
miles north Of this city, Thurs
day morning at Carrollton.
Miss Cavanah came to Keytes-
vile to visit, Wednesday. Thurs
day young 0rmsbee and Miss
Cavanah went west ostensibly to
Brunswick, but their tickets read
"Carrollton." !" They left at Z a.
m. and returned at 11:08, going
to the home of Obi Rains. A
reporter found them there and
the groom acknowledged that he
and Miss Cavanah were married
by the Baptist minister at Car
rollton.
Ormsbee is but seventeen
years old. When asked how he
got a license, he replied that he
got it." His parents knew
nothing of the event and Rev
Ormsbee was surprised anC
shocked as the news of his SON.!
acquaintance with his bride
substitute mail while acting as
carrier on a rural route. Hi
courtship was ardent, if brief
and the result was the mar
riage. Inquiry of Mr.. Cav
anah indicated that he ikewis
knew nothing of the event.
Inquiry further at the Re
corder's Office in Carrollton, de
veloped the fact that Ormsbe
gave his age as q years and hi
bride-elect at 10. The age
the latter was correctly give
but Ormsbee overstated his
years. Which goes to show tina

No Official Notice

While the Courier, taking the
news item from the Kansas City
Star, states this week, that COM
mencing July l parcel post
stamps are good on first class
mail, the postoffice here, the
afternoon of July 1, the day the
new ruling was supposed to 60
into effect, had heard nothing of
the ruling. A reporter took a
letter bearing the regular two
cent parcel post stamp to the
postoffce but the postmaster re-
fused to let it go on that basis.
He said that no official notice
had heen received here Of the
new ruling and, until such notice
was received would have to be
surmounted with the usual two
cent stamps used for first-class
postage. The postmaster ex-
pressed a hope that the report
of the rulingis true but said he
had not heard of it. When it
does go into effect, the matter
| of posting first-class and fourth
class matter, the latter via par
eel post, will be simplified.

She says that two out Of every

rank and showed it when they
