TWO OF PLATTSMOUTH PEOPLE
ARE UNITED IN MARRIAGE
AT GLENW00D, IOWA.
From Saturday's l-ally.
Two of the people of this city,
quietly departed a few days since for
Glenwood, Iowa, where securing a
iirpnP thev were united in the
honds of holy matrimony. They
were John H. Becker and Mrs. E. K
Barnes. Both have Uvea in mis cuy

to our people. They will make their
home in this city. The Journal with
their many friends wish them many
happy years of wedded bliss. The
Glenwood paper has to say the fol
lowing:
Decker-Barnes.
Two of Plattsmouth's residents
came to Glenwood Wednesday, Sep
tember 18, and after an interview
with the Clerk of Courts, which was
satisfactory, they were given certain
credentials that permitted a legal
compact of the two.
The persons involved were John II.
Becker, who is in good physical con-
which music, games and social con- dition, though he has gone seven
versation were the features of the years beyond the Psalmist's allot
ment, and Mrs. E. K. Barnes, who is
slightly beyond the half century
mark.
The couple repaired to the office
of Justice E. E. Goodrich, who per
formed the ceremony necessary in
due form. Justice Goodrich has
some advantage over most officials in
that line, since persons can have a
choice of either the ministerial or
justice form of ceremony.
The groom is a retired farmer.
and they will live in Plattsmouth.

"Good luck, good luck," said Jack
Carter to himself ns he came across a
letter foi Alice Vinton. "Now I shall
have a chance to sell some Thrift
stamps." Happily he started on his
route, his mail bag feeling like onlv
half its weight on account of that one
precious letter.
The Vinton homestead reached, he
was conscious of rather a strange sen
sation round his heart, and after press
ing the bell be hastily drew out Lis
handkerchief to conceal his embar
rassment. Iu answer to the ring. Alice
appeared, countenance beaming, and
arrayed in a lace cap and blue house
dress. To Jack, angels never could bo
more beautiful, aad as he band.-tl her
the letter he stainmeringly inquire "if
she wished for more Thrift stamps to
day."-
"No, thank you," Alice hastily re
plied. "Its a beautiful morning. Isn't
itr "Yes," said Jack, but it is doubt
ful if she heard the answer, as the
door had closed and Alice had gone.
Some minutes later. Grace, the
younger sister, returned from the gro
cers to nnd Alice much depressed.
Upon Inquiry she confessed it was all
on account of Jack Carter and Thrift
stamps.
I bought four from him last week
just because I was ashamed to refuse
him. He says we should be patriotic
and save for Uncle Sam, and while I
agree with him, I feci that mother's
doctor bill should be settled first ; but
of course I could not tell him that. The
next time I see him coming I shall have
the door open so he can throw the mail
u the hall, as I cannot refuse him
again."
"No, Alice," said Grace emphatically,
we can't do that. We'll have to think
up some way to save the money, for
while it is for a mighty good purpose.
we are saving that much for our
selves."
Grace started her housework while
Alice left for her of3ce, each promising
to think up some way out of the diffi
culty. At noon they com pa re 1 plans.
Grace's was to fix over their last year's
hats, while Alice's was to hold an em
broidery sale. "'You know. Grace, there
is the rose sofa pillow that I made dur
ing the winter, we could sell chances
on that, and then I have a new idea
too; 1 shall get some white satin rib
bon and embroider miniature service
Hags to be used as book markers, which
we will sell for 2o cents apiece." Won
derful! wonderful! exclaimed Grace.
Busy days followed for the Vinton
girls; invitations were sent to all their
friends and industriously both worked
arranging chance cards and embroider
ing book-marks.
The great night finally arrived. Alice,
her cheeks aglow from the excitement
of the evening, looked perfectly beauti
ful in a neat pink flowered muslin
dress and a few tiny pink .rosebuds
tucked among her rich brown curls.
Grace was equally as attractive ia a
snow-white muslin dress, with dainty
blue bows on both apron and cap. gav'y
chatting to each one as she busily
served tea and cookies. "Every book
mark sold and only two chances re
maining," Alice announced triumphantly.-
"I'll take them both," said Jack
Carter, and for him they were lucky
chances, for the very last one drew
the much-coveted pillow. Dancing in
the spacious dining room was then en
joyed until a late hour.
"We'll call Jack iu Monday morning,"
said Alice, "if lie has no mail for us;
and bow proudly we shall purchase
three big War Savings stamps, and the
remainder we will put into Thrift
stamps."
"And a banner to hang in the win
dow, too," added Grace, who believed
in advertising their good fortune.
Monday morning came and with it
the postman. Alice, all radiant, asked
for the desired stamps. Jack's heart
beat so fast he could scarcely calm him
self, so completely surprised was be at
making such a big sale to Alice. "I'll
bring them this evening," said Jack.,
"if you will be at home, as I have sold
all I had with me this morning."
"All right," answered Alice. "I shall
be here."
That evening, after settling the
stamp transaction. Jack still remained,
and Grace, feigning illness, retired
quite early, leaving Alice and himself
alone. Leading the way to the couch
hammock. Jack's arm stole lovingly
around her. Safely secluded by a thick
netting of wistaria. Jack gently drew
her head to his shoulder, as he softly
whispered, ' "Alice, I have loved you
since the days we used to travel to
school together; and how happy I was
to win the prize at your party, made by
your own dear hands ! A still greater
prize I am going to ask for tonight,
sweetheart, and that is just yourself.
Am I the fortunate winner this time?"
anxiously asked Jack, as he pressed
her still closer to Wmself. Faintly,
Alice murmured "yes;" and they both
clasped each other in a loving em
brace. Quickly the evening hours flew by,
dreaming of the future and planning
for the happy days to come. Confiden
tially Alice told how they had obtained
the money for the stamps, am Jack
was surprised and delighted beyond
words. Lucky stamps for me." said
Jack, as he gave her a grea big hug.
"For us both," quickly responded
Alice. "Yes, dear," added Jack, "and
here's hoping that ere long we shall
have many more to add to our lucky
three the starting point of our new
found happiness."
