PRIEST OFFERS TO
HELP DAN CUPID
Will Perform Ceremony Free
and Pay Years Rent
for Couple.

MOUNT MORRIS. n J.. July .
The Church Of the Assumption at
Portageville is coming to the fore
because of an unusual offer made by
the Rev. Albert +. Rivers. pastor.
While the Parish Is a thrifty one.
there has been an unusual dearth Of
marriages and not once during the
last four years has the genial priest
officiated at a marriage or nuptial
mass in his own church.
Just why there have been no mar
riages in the parish is something
that is unexplainable. There are
plenty Of young women and possibly
an equal number OF prosperous
young men, but Dan Cupid has
failed to make any progress in his
campaign in the parish, and the
four years without a wedding has
been the result.
That this condition may be
changed and the life of the parish
guaranteed through the next genera
ton. Father Rivers has offered to
perform the ceremony OF the first
couple desiring TO get married. This
Is not all. He will pay for an elab-
crate receI ton for the couple and
will pay one years rent for home
for the bride and groom. Various
minor inducements aside from these
will go with the generous offer, II Is
understood, and now every one is
wondering whether Father Rivers
will be called upon 10 make good
his offer during the present month
OF brides.
Since this offer was made bv Fa-
Their Rivers IL Is said that there has
been a decided increase I'm the num-
Der OF young men calling on the
maidens of the parish. but so far
there has been no engagement an
