In last week's issue of the Cale Enterprise, its editor tried to use some Durant news by witing up the marriage of Miss Mollie Kiser to Mr. Fred Jennings. He puts it "Mrs. Mollie Kiser," which makes it appear as though the lady was a widow, which is not the case. She was a young lady of just 21 years, and Mr. Jennings is her first husband.
