W. L. Zuck Jr., and Miss Dorcas Noblitt were married at the Methodist parsonage in Watsed last Sunday, by Rev. Jeffers. The event, while not wholly unexpected, comes as a surprise to many. Both the contracting parties are too well known here for us to make further mention of them. That they may enjoy a long and happy life is not only the wish of the writer, but of all their many friends.
