to Harrisburg. Of course they
visited the Capitol and other at

little Methodist Parsonage. When
the visitors timidly rang the bell.
the door swung open, and there
stood the parson smiling, for the
young couple looked good to him.
He invited them to step into his
parlor. They stepped. The door
closed. ' When they we're passed
out a few minutes later. The
parson had an extra "tenner"
and Mr. and Mrs. Brant had a
certificate that cost about 25
cents but you couldn't have
convinced them it was not worth
the ten-spot O no !
The groom is a former teacher,
and a son of the late Casper M.
Brant near West Dublin, and is
now one of Taylor's progressive
young farmers. The bride is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
W. Laidig, near Laidig Post Of

will make her a true helpmeet to
the man of her choice.
