CRAMER-CARPER.

  Our Roaring Spring correspondent sends the following:
  John J. Cramer and Miss Minnie M. Carper, two of Roaring Spring's most 
popular young people, were quietly married at the bride's home on South 
Main street, at 6 o'clock Thursday evening, Rev. J. E. Detter, pastor of 
the Church of God, officiating.  Only the members of the immediate family 
and Mrs. Detter were witnesses.
  The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Carper, 
and sister of Edward and William Carper, who compose the firm of Carper 
Brothers, one of the town's most flourishing general stores.
  The groom, a trusted employe of the Blank Book factory and president of 
the borough council, is one of our most progressive citizens.  Both he 
and his bride figure prominently in all charitable and social activities 
of the town and community.
  The young couple left immediately after the ceremony in Mr. Carper's 
touring car for Altoona, where they later in the evening took a train for 
Atlantic City and other eastern cities.  Upon their return they will, for 
the present, reside with the bride's parents.
  A host of friends join with us in wishing these newlyweds a most happy 
and prosperous life of connubial bliss.
