Three Marriages Wednesday; Market Took Sudden Advance.

The marriage market took a sudden advance Wednesday and before noon of that day three blisscoveting couples had been granted licenses by County Clerk Perkins. The grooms in each case were far-, mers, while the brides were all accorded the occupations of “housekeeper” in the license record, and that is the most becoming term that can be applied to a bride. • On her ability in that occupation depends much of the happiness of the husband and the success of the compact into they are entering. Squire Irwin married one of the couples in the clerk’s office. The groom was Louis Schatzley, of near Wheatfield, and the bride was Miss Eva May McColly, of the same town. They will reside on a farm in northern Jasper. Rev. C. L. Harper had the other two weddings. The first was performed at the parsonage, the principals being Mark Elmer Hoover, of Pulaski county, and Miss Cleo Stella Mellender, of McCoysburg. They will reside on a farm near Medaryville. v In the evening at the home of Mrs. Clarence Clemens, northwest of Rensselaer, occurred the marriage of her daughter, Miss Bessie Mabel, to Mr. George B. Gowland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gowland. Rev. Harper performed this ceremony. They will reside on Mrs. George Gowland, Sr’s, farm, near where the young people were raised.
