DoRR-wALTHER NupT1ALs

On Wednesday evening, January
22nd. at the home of Fred Kist of
Linton, occurred the marriage of Mr..
Gustov Dorr and Miss Ida Walther,
both of Hazelton. The honor of unit
ing the young couple was conferred
upon Judge" A. NJ. Britts, who is
we'll versed in that line and who has
ia record of tying knots which have
never been severed. Mr.. Dorr was
honorably discharged from the service
several months ago after spending
several weeks in camp, and we count
him a lucky chap in securing this
young lady as his helpmate to join
him in the ups and>downs in life. He
has secured farm three and one
half miles west of Hazelton where
they will make their home at once
They have host of friends and we
join them in wishing thes.a young
people long, happy and prosperous
journey through life..
