WEDDING BELLS
RASK------STARICK

A quiet wedding was celebrated at the residence of Mr M. STARICK, of Natimuk
Lake on Monday week last, when Edna third daughter of Mr M. STARICK, was
united in the holy bonds of Matrimony with Mr Jack RASK.
The Rev A.M. FRANCIS officiated.

A tinkettling was rendered the happy couple on Monday evening last at Mr
STARICKS home. After listening with commendable patience for a
considerable time to the mixture of weird and harmonious instruments
principally superlatively weird including the clanging of a junk of iron on
a plough share ) the members of the household produced a variety of
refreshment, while several of the budding musicians came to light with
several well rendered ditties, of which particular mention should be made of
the pathetic piece ' R--o--r--roamin in the gloamin'. It is hoped that
this crude way of expressing good-will, will be appreciated by the newly
weds, and that they will continue to live in happiness and prosperity.
