Young Couple Quietly Married

One of the surprises Of the past week
was the marriage OF Miss Trosky and
Mr. Eugene (Nibbs) Kicker. Mr.
Kicker is well-known transportation

has been the nurse for Ward s. II had
been known by some and suspected 10y

the event would be SO quickly consum

were married in the Episcopal church
and the ring service was used. Tit

a very dainty supper was served.

ried people present knew something i'm

the worst blow of all to 'Nibs' Kicker
llans was the fact that while the brida
party entered the church, n spy was
peeping on them so when the bridn
party returned to the hospital the mar
riage had been already announced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kicker have host o.
friends and at this post and no couple
ever entered matrimony with more
GOOD wishes and congratulations. The
