Mr. and Mrs. Selker returned from their brief bridal tour to this place on last Saturday, Mr. Selker being too much crowded with orders in his cigar factory to remain away longer. They immediately went to housekeeping in their handsomely furnished quarters corner of Main street and Third Avenue.
Mr. Selker is one of most reliable and promising young business men. Although he embarked in business here but eighteen months ago on a very small scale, by industry and good management, he now conducts one of the largest and most completely equipped cigar manufactories in this part of the State, occupying the entire building at the above named location, where he employes about a dozen hands.

Mr. Selker is a young man who is worthy the large degree of success with which he has met in his business, and likewise of the beautiful and accomplished bride he has lately captured.
