the purpose Of bidding them good-by

the boat the health of the bride and
groom was drank in sparkling cham

was escorted to the bridal chamber. The
guests left the boat as the bell rang aud
the beautiful steamer started on her
voyage up the Father of Waters. The
LEDGER extends its best wishes to the
bride and groom, and wishes them
health, happiness and prosperity during
their pilgrimage in this world of ours.
May they live long and prosper and pos

calculated to enhance their joys and
drive away any sorrow that may cross
their path as they travel hand in hand
down the great pathway of time.
