OCTOBER 1893
-- Two young men from Kaysville will engage in a game of poker before going to see their best girl. The boys are both enamored of the same fair maiden. The loser in the game must stay away or pay the winner $1.00 for the privilege of visiting the girl. There may be 2 losers when she finds out. -- The snow capped mountains above Kaysville this morning heralds the approach of winter. -- At city council meeting Swan and Co. was granted a liquor license for the next 3 months. -- The one great event here last week was the marriage on Thursday of Miss Minnie Layton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Layton to Charles Cottrell Jr., a young man well known here and in Salt Lake where his business interests have made him wildly popular. The marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. The young couple had a grand reception and supper at the home of her parents. The presents were magnificent and costly as well as useful.
