our town spend their honeymoon
at Roundstone Lake or Jackson

as far as New York City.
But when fissy Cupper married
the young Carter boy, they al

our town," Cissy sir•■.«. “And I’d
like to start married life at home,
with things Bud and I are used to.”
Makes sense, come to think of it.
Folks naturally left them alone;
