V. boys went over to Mr. Kellerman’s the othei night to “bell” his son, who just got married. The bridegroom was there but the bride was’n’t. It made me think of that piece of poetry which says: “Things done by halves are never done right.” —What, therefore, God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Married, at the San Pierre Lutheran church. Mr. William Kellerman and Miss Lena Hankey. The bridegroom is an ideal young man and is highly respected by all who know him. The bride is a fine young lady and highly respected. May their matrimonial sea have no storms. My advice to the D. V. boys is, Go thou and do likewise.
