MARRIAGE:
Mr. Clarence S. Baker and Miss Laura Meinke were quietly married at the bride's home on Church street, Wednesday evening by Rev. Webster Millar, resident pastor of the M. E. Church; Miss Ethel Baker was bridesmaid and Mr. Leon Patterson best man. None but the immediate relatives and the contracting parties were present to celebrate this happy event, and it is sufficient for us to say that we are all their friends and wish them the most happy, pleasant prosperous life together. They begin life together in a residence on Highland street, all previously furnished and prepared for them.
