Mr. Gay Boston and Miss Beulah Ogilvie stole a march on their many friends by slipping away to Burlington, Iowa, on Saturday April 29, and getting married. Their wedding was a complete surprise to everyone, not even the parents of either, knew of their intentions. Gay is a good and industrious boy and well worthy of the handsome and accomplished girl he has won for his bride. On Thursday evening last, a crowd of young people went to the home of the groom and gave them an old fashioned charivari, with guns and cow bells: then they were all invited into the house and treated to a bushel of pop corn and a box of cigars. The whole community join in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Boston a long, happy and prosperous life, especially Corntassell.
