Cupid' Victims
It was the writer's pleasure to solemize the rite of matrimony between Mr. Truman Woods and Miss Cora Lee Robbins in County Clerk Middleton's office last Saturday. We did not wish them "Sunny skies, balmy winds and smooth sailing on the matrimonal sea" because we know there will be storms of trouble and sorrow; dark days of disappointment, adversity and misfortune and heart rending experiences that are common to all of earth's mortals. But we do wish them all of the happiness that may grow out of the true observance of the rights and duties of the marital relation and all the prosperity that may result from lives of industry and frugality. The sunshine of true love will brighten even sorrow's blackest cloud, make lighter the load of care and breach through the shadows of adversity's dark valley. May their names never appear in the divorce records of our country, but as they share the joys and sorrows, the pleasures and the pains, the successes and the failures of mortal life together, may the union into which they have entered grow stronger and stronger until in very truly they shall pass as one, into the valley of shadows and out into the great unknown leaving behind them a record of true companionship of noble citizenship and of uplifting lives, the memory of which among their neighbors, friends and loved ones shall be like "apples of gold in pictures of silver."
