The wedding on Wednesday evening
of Mr.. PoRTEUs KEPLER and Miss MARY
SHERMAN, daughter of Hon. L. S. Sher-
man, brought together large company
embracing the elite of the village The
officiating clergyman was the Rev. Mr..
Peet, and as the guests were witnesses of
the ceremony, the house was filed, and
the great interest felt to see how the
thing went of, was disappointment ex-
cept to those more lucky or with more
pushing, than the rest. The groomsman
was Mr.. ALBERT SHERMAN, and the
bridesmaid, Miss ELLA KEPLER. We feel
warranted in the conclusion that Mr.. Peel
did his part in the best possible way, as
the parties seemed happy with the result
and with themselves, which was also
true of the large body of spectators and
guests. The delicacies that had been pre-
pared for refreshments were by no means
an Indifferent feature of the occasion, as
the relish with which they were parta-
kens Of, sufficiently indicated. Mr.. Mrs
Kepler took the carly train on Thursday
morning for western trip, intending tc
make Chicago their first stopping place
They have the kindly wishes of the com
munity for happy trip, and a honey
moon enjoyment of life.
