R. L. Cook secured a decree of divorce from his wife, Bertha
Cook.
The application of John McCandless to have E. Y. Royce sent to
the state hospital at Cherokee as an inebriate was continued and
the guardianship matter was made permanent. The inebriacy
proceedings will not be pressed during his good behavior.
The divorce case of Bertha Brown vs. J. S. Brown was again before
the court in an application of the defendant for an order in
regard to the care of the children, but after the court had
intimated that if he made any change of the custody of the
children that they would not be given to the defendant nor to his
parents the motion was withdrawn and the case carried over.

Wedding Bells
Miller - Triplett
On Wednesday, Nov. 11th, occurred the wedding of Fred Miller and
Miss Retta Triplett. Mr. Miller has lived in the neighborhood
northeast of town for several years, and Miss Retta has been
living in Sutherland with her parents since they moved off the
farm. She has a host of friends, and all will hope that she will
be happy and prosperous. We are not informed as to the plans of
the young people as to whether they will make their home here.
Short - Stanley
Mr. William Short Jr., so well and favorably known here, was
married on Wednesday night to Miss Blanche Stanley of Highland
township. Miss Stanley is the oldest daughter of the last Mrs. S.
C. Larrabee and possesses such traits of character as to compel
all her acquaintances to become and to remain her friends. In
choosing a life partner Will has chosen wisely, in fact each is
to be highly congratulated because of the real worth of the
other. When in the winter or early spring they move near Moneta
the best wishes of all will follow them. The ceremony was
performed at the Larrabee home by Rev. F. C. Lewis of Gaza.
Locklin - Elliott
In addition to the two weddings in this vicinity the Courier is
this week called on to record that of two California people. At
the home of the bride's brother, W. C. Elliott, in Los Angeles,
Cal. on Monday, Nov. 16th, Rev. Robert McIntyre of the Me. E.
church officiating, Herbert W. Locklin and Miss Mabel May Elliott
were married.
We are not acquainted with the groom, but the bride is well known
to many Sutherland people as the daughter of E. J. Elliott who
lives at the west edge of town, and all who know her will wish
her abundant happiness. The couple immediately after the wedding
went to San Diego by sea and then started for a trip through old
Mexico. They will be at home in Los Angeles after Dec. 1st.
