Nezperce is not exactly in tht
throes of an epidemic Of wed,
dings-it could hardly be callet
that-though the habit seem
to be growing contagious here
abouts of late, three more
couples having fallen under the
spell within the past week, ano
that is going some for a town OF
our size, even if it is the county
seat. But it has the appearance
Of a very agreeable pastime, es-
pecially for> the victims and the
parsons who officiate.
On Saturday, the 23rd instant
a pretty home wedding, in which
Roy A. Gehrke and Miss Lora r.

,solemnized at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

Rev. Albert c. Hartley of the
Christian church. Only the inn
mediate family connections of
the couple were in attendance.

and a wedding dinner, the hap
