when Mr. Lonnie Ward and Miss Bes

of Mr. and Mrs. Klein. It seems that
the marriage had been planned for a

couple decided to marry that night,
while they were at the Klein home.
The ceremony was performed by
Ordinary W. P. Ward. The young
couple are now doing light housekeep
ing in the flat adjoining the telephone
office.
The bride has made her home with
Mrs. W. W. Southerland for some
time and is very popular in the city.
The groom has lived here all his life
and has scores of friends who wish
for him and his wife a life of wedded
bliss. He holds a responsible possit
ion with the Douglas Telephone Co.
