Newland Couple Married By Squire Irwin Today.

Leroy Fay Walls, 6 feet 2, and Mary Elizabeth Tow, 5 feet 1%, entered upon the troubled seas of matrimony via the County Clerk and the marrying squire, S. C. Irwin. The bride, a comley lass of eighteen summers, sustained the ordeal with no sign of nervousness, never missing a stroke of the spearmint, except to show her dexterity of the elusive wax, when she shifted said Wrigley and said “Yes” all in one breath. The groom, whose going away costume consisted of high water trousers and passionate sox, said his part of-the program with equal unconcern and nonchanantly tossed the squire a silver dollar to show that he realized the ceremony'td be worth all it cost. The bridal party was accompanied by a large party of the couples’ friends, who wished the newly weds joy and bliss in hearty handshakes and further demonstrated their well wishes in an osculatory exchange which continued all the way down stairs. The couple will live in or near Newland.
