SERGEANT 4. B. LINK
AND PRETTY NURSE
ARE MARRIED HERE
POPULAR YOUNG MAN WEEDS
MISS Lands AT LUTHERAN
PARSONAGE.
HAD PLANNED TO ESCAPE BUT
WERE DISCOVERED BY
THEIR FRIENDS.
JOHN MCKEE AND MISS LORENA
PERRELL MARRIED YESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON.

A very interesting romance culmi-
mated last night at 815 o'clock at
st. Johns Lutheran parsonage when
Sergeant Adam Link, of Company
d, Second infantry, West Virginia
National Guards, and Miss Ethel
Ruth Lands, one of Charles Towns
most accomplished and beautiful
young ladies', were united in mar
riage by the Rev. DR., Charles s.
Trump.
The young couple had planned to
marry some time ago but he groom
was hurriedly called. as member
of the West Virginia militia, to de-
fend the country's colors, and only
returned from the Mexican border a
few days ago. When called to the
front he enlisted as a private in
Company F. but when that company
was sent back to Martinsburg, he
joined Company u, of the Second
regiment and continued his journey
to Mexico He was rapidly promot-
ed and was soon made sergeant.
While the many friends of the
young couple were aware of the ap-
preaching wedding no one, not even
members of the families of the con.
tracing parties, knew that it was
to be SO soon. They came to Mar
tinsburg yesterday afternoon and in
tended to have the ceremony per-
formed and return to Charles Town
unmolested, but Lewis H. Thompson
and H. L. Shaull, of Thompson and
Thompson's, learned of their inten-
tons and while they witnessed the
affair louis Kogelschatz decorated
the automobile, so that the young
couple could hardly leave the city
without being noticed.
Sergeant Link is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. William H. Link, of Charles
Town and nephew of DR.. c, w.
Link, of this city. He is graduate
of Shepherd College, where he be-
came famous as an athlete. 1t will
be remembered that he was the win
ner in the ten-mile race from Shep-
herdstown to Martinsburg several
years ago After finishing his course
at Shepherd College he entered Roa-
noke College at Roanoke, Va, and
studied there three years. For some
time before entering the militia he
was salesman at the store of
Thompson and Thompson's.
The bride is the talented and at
tractive daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Seymiur Lands, of Charles Town,
and is very popular young lady and
enjoys a wide acquaintance. She is
a graduate of RandolphJMacon Col
lege for women at Lynchburg, Va,
and for the past few years has been
nurse at the Hebrew hospital, Bal
timore.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs.
Link left for Charles Town and will
return to Martinsburg the first of
next week and make their home in
this city, where the groom will again
be associated with the firm of Thomp
son and Thompson.
