SECRET WEDDING IS ANNOUNCED

BARKLEY TOWNSHIP YOUNG PEOPLE STEAL MARCH ON THEIR FRIENDS.

Miss Ruby E. Baker mailed * out today the announcement of her marriage to Louis K. Zillhart.. The wedding took place at Wheaton, 111., on September 8, 1917, and since that time it has been known only to the two contracting parties and the Rev. Holt, the Methodist minister of Wheaton, who preformed the wedding ceremony. Miss Baker is employed as a maid at the hospital in this city. She is very attractive as well as a splendid young lady. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. John N. Baker, who for a number of years were very highly respected citizens of Barkley township. Her father died some three years ago, and the mother over nine years ago. Miss Baker is the youngest child of a good sized family. Mr. Zillhart is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Zillhart, of Barkley township. His parents are most excellent citizens of that corporation. That the young man is of the right kind is assured by the fact that about three weeks ago he enlisted in the army, and was until last Saturday, Dec. 15, located at Ft. Thomas, but is now at Camp Zachary Taylor. Miss Baker, now Mrs. Zillhart, will visit her husband leaving here Friday. After a short visit with him she will return here, where she will continue her work at the hospital. The Republican extends to these most splendid young neople hearty congratulation and very bvst wishes.
