Our account of the marriage yester-
day has aroused quite a
amongst the guests and they have
been bombarding us all day with _ex-
plannations. They state that they
knew what was going on but that they
were invited verbally and that the
{ime was to have been 85:30 and they
were all in readiness at that time.

took place at 7:45 and that left them

along so well, He was a noble young
man and has been promoted to be
Electric Engineer in the General
trfe Company, and he will be bonor-
ed wherever he makes his home.
