The following clipping is taken
from the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver-
tiser and will be of interest to many:
Buffalo nickels and romance form
a combination that eliminated in the
wedding of f.. G. Ellison and Miss
Bertha Monfroy, of Townley, Ala,
Wednesday afternoon in the state
suite of the Tutwiler Hotel. The
wedding was the romantic ending of
a courtship that has been going on
for some time, and the ceremony
was performed in Birmingham be-
cause the young couple wanted to
| surprise their friends.
The Buffalo nickels enter the ro-
nance because upon them depended
the wedding date. Miss Monfroy was
willing to marry Mr.. Ellison, but
the proviso was made that there
would be no wedding until she had a
collection Of Buffalo nickels. A large
collection 1t had to be-in fact
| enough for the license and other
incidentals. The citizens Of Town
ley heard of the necessity for the
nickels, and every Buffalo nickel that
hit Townley found it's way to Miss
Monfroy's purse. Enough must have
been found, for the wedding cere-
mony was performed Wednesday,
and the probate clerk opened his
eyes when a shower Of Buffalo nick
els was poured into his hand to pay
for the license.
"Mr. Ellison came to Birmingham
Monday, supposedly OIL business.
Miss Monfroy took her family into
her confidence Wednesday morning
and told them of the coming we'd
ding. She Joined Mr.. Ellison at
Asheville and they came on to Birm-
ingham together.
1.-The marriage had been planned
to take place in the parlor of the
Tutwiler, but Manager Traylor ar
ranged the state suits for the cere-
mony, it being the first in the new
hostelry."

Capt. and Mrs. A. II. Ellison, Of this
