  The bride received many handsome and costly presents, the groom’s present being

from a ten day’s trip North.

Van Trump – Trout   Mr. Simon Van Trump and Miss Jennie Trout were married at the 
parsonage at Parkton on the 4th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Roberts.  Mr. Frank Wilson 
was the best man and Miss Cora Trout the bridesmaid.  The newly married couple 
made their appearance at West Liberty on Sunday last and looked very happy.  We 
wish them much success in life.

Wolf  - Davis   Mr. Jacop P. Wolf, of Bentley Springs, and Miss Rena Davis, of 
Rayville, were married by the Rev. J. P. Koontz on last Thursday night, 4th inst. 
We hope that the words of the poet, “With secret course which no loud storms annoy, 
Glides the smooth current of domestic joy,” may be theirs.   
Yours, & c.,             H.
