Matrimonial Mill Still Grinding Owing to the selective draft law those of matrimonial inclination have been, and are still, slow to "pop" the luestion to the fair sex from the fact that they don't know how soon they may be called into service and leave a young wife; and then on the other hand the fair sex is slow to give an answer in the allirmative from the fact she shudders at the idea of being left it "grass"' widow. r With all this in view the old matri monial mill has not done such a rushing husines of late, but had lowered its "llood-gate" and was taking a few days off when on last Sunday, the 25th inst., about 12 n., Mr. Dewey Garrett and Miss Lena Finley, of the Six Mile section, faced the old mill door and asked to be made man and wife. Af ter the (Jld miller decided -that inas much ats if Unacle Sam did call D~ewey to the army Lena would be left a pro tection in the way of a life insurance should D~ewey never return, and in case he (lid She wouldl still have the satisfac tion of knowing that she had had ample. time in which to give her love a thor (ough test f(or lDewey, and if as strong on Dewey's return as it was on his leave it would do to live and die by, so the old( miller, .l. Alonzo Brown, N. P., granted the request. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Garrett, while the bride is a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Finley, all of Six Mile. We ex tend congratulations. B.
