Cupid is a most willy little god,
and his pranks often bring about
many pleasant surprises. That he had
been at work was evidenced by the
surprise marriage of Saturday morn

happy event took place at the Baptist
parsonage, Rev. w. S. Brooke per-
forming the ceremony. Later the
young couple left in their car for a
short honeymoon. The bride is the
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
D. Witt and is very pretty young

Johnston High school and ranks with
the leading instructors of the state.
