PERRYSVILLE -- The leading features of the week was the marriage on the evening of the 31st. ult., by Rev. S.C. Faris, at the residence of the bride's father, Norman M. Strickler and Miss Flotie Johnston, both of this place.  Mr. Strickler is the popular salesman in the dry goods store of C.C. Coulter & Son, and in taking to wife the beautiful and accomplished Miss Johnston has done a wise thing.  We didn't get any of the wedding cake, but wish them a happy and prosperous future all the same.  The newly married couple went on the 8 p.m. train to Shreve, where the mother of the head of the newly established family lives.  They returned on Friday evening and Norm, like a sensible man, took his place behind the counter.  This young family is to keep house on First Street until spring when they will move to their cozy house on the corner of Bridge and Third Street.
