ii. II. Honore, Esq, the eldest son, mar
Tied Miss Elm Carr, the daughter of Capt

Kentucky, about 1916, in Oldham county.
In her youth she possessed remarkable
beauty, and time has not vet dimmed the

looks. They have had six children, two
girls and four boys, al at present living.

THE GROOM.
Ia regard to the high contracting parties
who were the actors ON this occasion, of the
groom little need be ssid, as he is 80 we'll
knowR
He Is Cd size, not over medium height,
but oad-shouldered and massive in build.
His face is not striking in any particular
feature, but is like his father's-a good,
shrewd ace. The eyes are gray, and do
not easily light up; nor does be uae them
much, speaking generally, without raising
them. Blu, in the tout-ensemble of his
features, thesr il an expression which pleases
ana iaclnstes. He has fine voice, but a
rather lazy way Of using it, and it has a
musical Intonation that is foreign; it may be
an acquire tone. Col. Grant has a frank,
ingenious look, that seems TO say he finds
life pleasant, and will make the most of it.
There il not the slightest approach 10 snob-
brry or military effusion in lis manner, and
he has boyish way of talking right along
withou; stopping to pick his words. 1t
might not Be saying too mnch 10 assert that
be inhne;ly prefers the variety and inf rmsl-
nv OF camp life TO tie etiquette Of the social
regime. lie is not unliAe his bro:h in
Law, Mr.. Sarioris, in the Easy absorption OF
tue 20 d things OF life, and has the same
humorous smile lurking around his mus
tsched liIs. HE hsir is nei her dark nor
light, but has rich auburn tinge; his face
is destitute Of other app ndage in The way
of bard than short, thick arch of light
color over the upper lip He has the high
color of q soldier and bon viysnt.
Being the e DIST son of The highest digpi-
tary in the Uni ed States, the wedding nat
uraily has an interest for the public at
large not unusualiy accorded to such Gre
monies. Col. Grant is about twenty five
years old, and is gradute of the mil airy
school at West Punt He was appointed
On Gen. Sheridsn's staff, with headquarters

q small dinner party given at the residence
Of her sister, Mrs. Por;er Palmer, abou,
eighteen months ago. There were pre- ent
at that party Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer, Mrs
Honore, the Misses Rucker, Miss Mary
Hall, Col. Grant, Gen. Sheridan, Gen
For-yih. and MIR. Adrian Honore. Sven
OF there participated in the oerenonies Of

Mss HoNoRE
1t may be said that Col Grant admired her,
became unremitling in his attentions, wooed
and won the gentle girl, and Soon q rupor
OF their engagement was Whispered through
that portion OF the society world with which
they were connected.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Others ssy that Col. Grant met Miss la
Marie Honore about two years ago, travel
ing with party of friends on her wsy from
sehoel. He was introduced to her on the
cars, between New York and Washington,
and, il is saidf that At the moment whtn he
raised his hat in recognition of her name,
and his eyes met hers while he bowed h g
Acknowledgements, he irrecoverably les, his
heart. Miss Honore also admits feeling a
decided interes. in the peculiar voice" that |
merely uttered few commonplace remark,
on that occasion, but was later to ask the |
momentous question that thrills maiden's |
heart wi h joy unspeakable, when i. is slled |
already win teader alteration. 1t was near- |
ly year before they met again. Mean
while Mise Honore had finished her educs- |
ton and gone into society. She was in
vted to the wedding OF Mr.. Sartoris, with
the res, Of her family, but did not go. Since |
hat event, Col. Grant has become an en-
gag d man. the bstrothal preceding the
about three months. As soon a. |
the affair was definitely settled, arrange
ments we're spsedily made for marriage. |
There was no reason for delay. The newly |
acquired tile of Lieutenant Grant gave him, |
with the additional honor, additional re-
Dponsibility. In time Of peace prepare for |
war. In view of political changes, or posi-
bic military enterprises, or the proverbisl
dangers of delay, he drcided to at once enter
upon the marital relation, and his wishes
we're rot gain~aid.
