Many Military Marriages.

The war has had the effect Of slim
ulating matrimony TO an unusual de-
| gree, as may be seen by the consider
able number Of weddings of Shepherds
town young men which we publish this
week. Truly our boys are brave when
they show such courage in tackling
married life as well as military duties.

herdstown, and Miss Margaret Leigh,
