at the depot to see the train come and go, and they returned the next night for
the same reason. News was circulated a few days afterwards that they were married
but no evidence of the fact was secured from either one of the newlyweds,

secret away when she addressed a letter to the bride as Mrs. Tom Dunnington.
Mr. Dunnington has been a resident of our town for a number of years and has
made a host of friends. When he first came here he was employed by Wm. Heindel
as a cabinet maker but when Mr. Heindel sold his carpenter shop last fall to
Walker and Rounds, Mr. Dunnington started a shop of his own.
The bride came here with her mother a little over a year ago when the latter
purchased the Opera House Cafe. She has a host of friends in her home town
of St. Francis and has made a great number in our own little city.
