Cupid's Fetters
Marriage of of Mr. Louis H. Norwood Jr and Miss Mary Bell Innes (should
read Ennis)
Submitted by: Jennifer Jones
Lockesburg was all astir last Wednesday because of the approaching
marraige which was to occur at 7:30 p.m. at the residence of Mrs. Eliza
Innes on East Main street. At about dusk the invited guests, the elite
of town, began to assemble at the cottage, and ere the time for the
ceremony came quite a large company was assembled. At 7:15 the door of
the East room was opened and the attendants, followed by the bride and
groom, were ushered into the room where the guests were waiting and
assuming their places, Rev. J. M. G. Douglass performed the ceremony
that made Mr. Louis H. Norwood Jr. and Miss Mary Bell Innes husband and
wife. The attendents were Mr. Ed Byington and Miss Lula Nalls and Mr. James
Norwood and Miss Ruth Pell. The bride was one of the sweetest and prettiest young ladies of our
town. She was beautifully arrayed and looked as pretty as a picture as
she took upon herself the marriage vows, while the groom seemed to fully
realize the responsibilty he had assumed anbd a look of pride was on his
countenance as he promised to love and protect his lovely companion.
After congratulations were extended to the happy couple by loving
relatives and friends, supper was announced and upon being ushered into
the dining hall, a beautiful sight greeted the eye. Loving hands had
arranged most beautifully the table, which was loaded with an elegant
repast and right heartily did the guests enjoy it. After supper the
young people present utilized the time in social enjoyment.

Douglas County sheriff's deputies said a 60-year-old Roseburg man was
accidentally electrocuted Sunday while helping his neighbor repair an
irrigation line.
Deputies said the incident occurred about 11 a.m. when James H.
Johnson, of 410 Juno St., was standing over a pump and electrical
lines and yelled for the neighbor to turn the power on.
The neighbor told deputies she turned on the power and then yelled to
Johnson, asking him if it was fixed. When Johnson didn't reply, the
neighbor told deputies, she turned the power off and walked to the
pump to find Johnson lying on his back.
Deputies said Johnson apparently came into contact with a bare
aluminum ground wire while standing in a small pool of water
