----
George Haslerud certainly slipped one over on his friends this time -- he was married last Tuesday, June 12, to Selma Olness of Rushford, and no one knew it until it was all over. The bride is well-known here, and in Rushford, where she has been telephone operator for several years. The ceremony was performed at 4 o'clock by Rev. H. M. Bakke, and the couple were attended by Miss Judith Olness, sister of the bride, and Arthur Halvorson. After the ceremony a wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride's mother, on North Prairie. The newly-weds are enjoying their honeymoon at Faribault and Albert Lea.
We unite with the people of this vicinity in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Haslerud many years of happiness and prosperity. Incidentally, it might be all right to add that the editor of this section had the honor of taking the first cigar from the box last Tuesday -- and it was a good cigar at that.
