"Bert Straw is a straw that don't tell which way the wind blows. He went and got married before anybody knew that he had looked at a girl. This person with whom he has united his fortunes and promised to love, cherish and support is Miss Barbara Puerner, of this city. May you live long and happily together is the wish of the Banner."
