WINS BRIDE ON SOUP RECORD
Cook in Ohio Regiment Finds Way to Soften Heart of Alabama Girl. r Montgomery, Ala. —Robert Fisher of Company C of Lima, Second Ohio infantry, knows the way to a woman’s heart. He met Miss Lillie Belle Sweatt of Greenville and won her hand upon proving to her that he was the best soup-maker in the Ohio guard. He proved his worth as a citizen by having the mayor of Lima and the chief of police of that city, as well, wire to the young lady that he was a regular fellow, and held down the position of second cook at the Manhattan hotel, Lima. He is at present second cook of Company C, and has promised his bride to save for her each day a portion of the soup made'for the Lima soldiers at the camp.
