enclosing little one, (we mean little
"wallop') enclosing as neat little
note as ever was printed, which said
that Uncle John and Mrs. Uncle John
''would be at home," and requested our
presence &c. &c. we knew that Frank
was going to be counted in, and
we felt bad that we couldn't be there
to oversee the canvass. Well, we went
off to brewery, as "Uncle Sam" had
directed, but about forty or more OF
our citizens went to Uncle Johns and
from what we learn all enjoyed the glo-
rious hospitality eff the Rablins as is
ever the case when wedding is the
magnet which draws them thither.

for the welfare Of the twain who were
elected. Mr. G.. n. Wood, brother
of the groom and MISC Winnie Rablin
sister Of the bride supported the bride
and groom in the terrible ordeal which

Kitty lived with us from babyhood up,
and doesn't everybody know them

Heaven rest upon the twain whose
lives arc blended into one, and may
they live to celebrate their diamond
wedding in the presence of hosts of
friends.
