Miss Ella June Mead, formerly of this place [Afton, Chenango Co., NY], and Mr. Lu B. Cake, of Page county, Iowa, were united in marriage at Carroll, Iowa, Oct. 25th. We extend our congratulations.
A western man has made his choice
Of an Afton girl with a charming voice;
When first they met he felt the need
Of a housewife true, if not of Mead.
She didn't wait long, as the papers say,
Nor put off what should be done to-day.
The bargain was made; they could not wait;
He obtained his Mead, and she her Cake.
We hope her voice will brighten his pen,
And he prove one of the very best men.
If this be true, and there be no mistakes,
Their house will soon be filled with little Cakes
