Column 3We hear that cupid, the sly elf, has been at work again among our younger set, uniting the hearts and lives of Mr. Kerus Huston to Miss Zola Barr. The wedding was solemnized at the Presbyterian manse in Carthage by the Rev. W. F. Boyd. The groom is the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Huston of Ft. Green and although a comparative stranger to us, we feel sure that if he is anything at all like his good father, he will make a model husband. The bride is the eldest daughter of our old friends, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Barr, and is a very sweet and lovable young lady and we congratulate the groom on his good fortune for we have known Zola all her life and think her worthy of all that is called "the best." Sorry we have no particulars, but extend our best wishes for a very happy future.
