Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 89, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 July 1901 — Not a Bargain. [ARTICLE]

Not a Bargain.

“How much will you charge for marrying us, ’squire?” asked the stalwart bridegroom, painfully conscious of his new suit of ready-made clothing. “I am entitled by law to a fee of $2,” replied the justice of the peace. “Perhaps, Alfred,” timidly suggested the blushing bride, “we might get it done somewhere else for $1.98.” —Chicago Tribune.
