WHO IS APRIL TOOLED?
George Daniels didn’t marry Sunday.
Neither did Miss Janie Smith.
Then people will want to know the
reason why. That has not been ex¬
plained to the satisfaction of the Ad¬
vance.
“lie says” it was an April fool on
the editor. If so, it was a good one.
But let’s see about that:
George gave us permission to an¬
nounce lus engagement to Miss Janie
Smith, and that the mairiage would
be solemnized on the first Siimiai
morning in April. He incited u- to
bo one of Ins attendants, and selected
Miss Mary YVarron to stand up with
us. lie selected Jimmie Warren and
Miss Lulu Clements for tiro other two
Last week he gave it to us for publi¬
cation that they hail concluded to haye
the ceremonv performed at Pleasant
Hill church instead of at the gill’s fa¬
ther’s.
Last Tliuisday we told Mr. Daniels
that another engagement was pressing
us for Sunday, and unless lie expressly
desired our presence wo would be at
another place, lie insisted on the can¬
cellation of all other engagements, and
said lie would inform Miss Warren
that we would go for her Sunday
morning.
Saturday r.iglit George left for Syc-
amorv. Sunday morning early he
Was off in a top buggy for the girl.
Mr. Daniels and Mi*s Smith arrived
at the church about 11:30.
Hut they did not marry.
He says it was an** April fool.”
As an evidence of good faith we
produce the letter written to Miss
Warren:
