"A prominent Columbus man, re-
cent bridegroom, was out with some
of his bachelor-day friends one night
recently, and when the party broke
up, about 1890 o'clock, q friend
asked the newly made benedict
whether he wished to ride home in
his friends automobile. The man
consented, giving his address. 1t
was his address before he was mar
ried, however, and he went home and
to bed. When he awoke next morn
ing he happened to remember that
he was married and, hastily dressing,
he made his way to his new home.
