          A wedding of particular interest to Kokomo was solemnized at Morristown, Indiana, at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when  Miss Ruth Myer  became the bride of  Alfred (Pee-Dad) Campbell,  basketball coach at Kokomo High school.  The single ring ceremony was read before the fireplace in the home of the bride's parents,  Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Myer,  by the  Rev. E. A. Gillium  of Rising Sun, Ind., an intimate friend of the bride's family.  Only members of the immediate families of the principals were present at the wedding.  The bride was dressed in a lovely gown of chalk-white crepe with a slight train and wore a tulle veil fashioned with a coronet caught with orange blossoms.  She wore a large cameo pin, a family heirloom that was worn by both her mother and grandmother at their weddings.  She carried a large bouquet of calla lilies.  Following the wedding service, a reception was held for numerous friends who were not included in the wedding list.  The bridal pair were to leave later on a leisurely motor honeymoon to California, taking the northern route and returning by a southern route, arriving in Kokomo in time for Mr. Campbell to resume his duties here as basketball coach at the start of school.  The bride is a graduate of Morristown high school and of DePauw University in the class of 1932.  She attended the school of music of DePauw and is a member of Alpha Omcricon Pi social sorority.  Following her graduation and until recently, she had been a traveling representative for the Jean Sardow art studios of New York City.  The bridegroom is the son of  Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Campbell  of Shelbyville.  He was graduated from Shelbyville High school and Indiana University with the class of 1933.  He is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.  He coached two years at Stinesville, Ind., and has been head basketball coach and teacher of physical education in Kokomo high during the last two years.  The bridal couple will be at home to their many friends in Kokomo near the start of the school year, although they have not definitely selected a residence.

          It is reported that some one tried to butcher one of  Walter Myer's  hogs last week, out in the woods.  Walter and  George Copple  were out hunting and happened to run across the hog, and the former on looking the matter up found that one of his hogs were missing, and that one proved to be his.  The parties were not seen, but they are pretty well satisfied who the parties are.  We suggest to them if they haven't got any meat, to beg it and not try to get it in that manner.  It will be the best in the outcome.
