MISS ELLA DUFFIELD and GLENMORE PETTICORD were married Wednesday at high noon at the home of the bride's parents, MR. and MRS. S.H. DUFFIELD, by the bride's grandfather, Elder KOB.

The young couple will take up their residence north of Leon on a farm. The Express joins with their many friends in wishing them a happy future. The nicest thing about the whole proceeding was that the editor was presented with a wedding cake, something that is not an every day occurrence with us and for which we are duly thankful.
