Married – At the Wilson Hotel, in Mason City, Monday, afternoon, May 1, at 4:30, in the presence of a few friends and relatives, occurred the marriage of Mr. James J. Laird to Miss Adda F. Pettit, both of Nashua, Rev. Rogers, of the Congregational church, officiating.

Mr. Laird and Miss Pettit left Nashua on the noon train Monday, and their suspicious actions aroused the attention of their acquaintances, who surmised that the above would be the outcome. On the return of the bride and groom Tuesday, they were a little more cautious, and stepped from the train into the bus and driven up town under cover, thus avoiding curious glances and good natured remarks.

Mr. Laird, the groom, has been a Nashua boy all his life, having grown to manhood in our midst. He is as steady as the rock of ages, courteous and obliging. For a number of years he has been one of J. T. Shattock's most trusted employes.

For Miss “Dot” as she was familiarly called by her intimate friends, we have words of strongest commendation. She having been a member of the Reporter family for a number of months we know whereof we speak. If her housekeeping is as errorless as the “galleys” of type she set we have no fears but her future will be one of happiness.

We extend congratulations to Mr. And Mrs. Laird. May the “make-up” of their household ever be faultless. May the “furniture” never get “pied.” And may the “impression” the example of their future life casts upon society be ever of the best.

They will make their home at the Hotel De Noyelles until they can procure a house.

Married – At the M. E. Parsonage in Charles City, Wednesday morning, May 3, at 8 o'clock, by Rev. H. W. Troy, Mr. Harry Bissonette and Miss Ida Carter, both of Nashua. The bride and groom departed immediately for Ripon, Wisconsin, where they will enjoy a short honeymoon before returning to Nashua, where Mr. Bissonette has a fine farm a few miles northwest of town. Mr. Bisonette is one of our most prosperous young farmers, and Miss Carter one of the most charming of young ladies. They are both endowed with all the qualities that go to make a model husband and wife. They have the congratulations of the Reporter. May their married life be a source of happiness to each.

Love at First Sight – There is a pretty romance connected with the recent sale of the Murray interest of the Nashua Reporter and it all came about through the editorial pilgrimage to Denver less than a year ago. Among the editors who left their scissors, their paste bottles and their quills for a season of travel and enjoyment was Miss Minna Murray, editor of the Reporter. After working hard she entered into the spirit of the trip cordially and had a delightful time. At Cripple Creek the company stopped for a visit to this modern home of Midas' gold and casually to visit the great Cripple Creek mine. While in the city Miss Murray met a Mr. Schweinberger. (The name may not be spelled correctly, but there is little in a name anyhow.)

It was a case of love at first sight and Schweinberger is responsible for causing the district to lose the “Woman in White.” He wrote to her, of course, upon her return and came twice to see her, which is evidence enough in our mind that she answered the letters. Now she has sold her paper and they are to be married soon. The gentleman is well to do and interested in Cripple Creek mining industry, but that would make little difference with the “Woman in White.” If she wanted Mr. Schweinberger she would take him, money or no money. Here's a cup full of happiness and now and then a splash over the brim. – Charles City Press.

Joe Grawe Gets Reminiscent – Mr. Pomeroy Waite, of Bradford, who had greatness thrust upon him last week in the shape of a notice from the postmaster general at Washington which stated, “that reposing special trust and confidence in the intelligence, diligence, and discretion” in him (Waite) he (the postmaster general) had appointed him (Waite) to be postmaster at Bradford, Iowa. And Waite sat down the same evening to figure out what there was in it for him and he deliberately decided that he could make a better living by pulling the teats of his dairy cows then he could by pulling that runt of a teat from Washington. And the next morning he sent his papers back to Washington, and said to his great Uncle Same, “No, thank you!” And this from old Bradford which less than half a century ago was the greatest town in Northern Iowa. We remember the time when several of the best men in Chickasaw county made a fight for that postoffice. Now, after and existence of over half a century the office will probably be discontinued because nobody wants to be postmaster there. On the beautiful public square, a hundred rods north of “The Little Brown Church in the Vale,” where in 1860 they barbecued and ten thousand people rallied at a political meeting, with speeches and songs galore, and ate roast oxen and sheep and pigs, and they cheered themselves hoarse for Abraham Lincoln and the Union forever, there grew last year the most beautiful field of clover in the Cedar valley, but, alas, we fear that clover, too, was winter killed. Old Bradford, which was once the seat of justice of Chickasaw county. Where Milo McGlathery literally sat on the bench, where Judges Noble, Granger, and Burdock made their maiden speeches to a jury, and where Senator Allison, when he wanted to go to congress the first time, made his political maiden speech, which old settlers declare was the pokiest excuse for a speech they ever listened to. Old Bradford, where Dr. Pitts was inspired to write “The Little Brown Church in the Vale.” Which has been sung on two continents and in several languages, and which will live long after the doctor has ceased to remember it. Old Bradford is to be wiped off the postoffice map because no one can be found who is willing to lick stamps. – Waverly Independent.
