long be remembered in Cheboygan. On
the evening of that dav was celebrated
the marriage of Miss Lille Macarthur
daughter of Hon. VIM. Macarthur. tC
Mr.. Charles E. Mould, of Chicago. The
day was bright AMI beautiful. one OF the
brightest of the beautiful days OF the
wear. 1t seemed that nature had Joined
hands with the many friends of the bride
to do all i'm its power TO make propitlous
this, to her, day of all days. That evening
will be rem -mbered i'm Cheboygan moi
ONLY because of its beauty and the cere-
monies and reception connected with the
marriage. but because from that time
dates the loss to Cheboygan OF one who
has endeared herself to all with whom
she associated. one whom will be missed,
as few others would be.
That the desire of the brides many
friends to witness the marriage might be
gratified. the ceremony was arranged TO
take place at the Congregational church,
and invitations sent to all that the church
would accommodate. Tie hour fixed for
the ceremony was at six O'Clock. and
shortly before that time the church was
filled with tie invited guests. Very
promptly upon the time appointed, Mrs.
L. A. Perrin took her place at the organ
and played the Centennial wedding
march, during which the bridal party
came in and took their places at the al
tar. Miss E,.ith Macarthur and Miss
FlOsSie Macarthur. cousins Of the bride,
acted as bridesmaids. and Mr.. Ephraim
Nelson and Master Willie Macarthur oc-
cupying the position of groomsmen
They were followed by Mrs. Macarthur.
escorted by the groom. and last came
the bride, accompanied by her father.
As they took their positions
the music ceased, and Rev. Il.
NJ. Thompson came forward and
performed The marriage ceremony
according to the rites of the Episcopal
church. of which the contracting parties
were members. Every part of the pro-
gramme at the church passed of without
u single mistake, and the ceremony was Il
very Impressive one. The arrangements
at The church were carefully looked after
by the llshers, Messrs. Geo. +. French.
Wm. G Boggs. A. p. McKinnon and
james Schults.
After the ceremonies at the ciu cl. a
reception was given by the newly mar
ried couple at the residence of the brides
father. where they received the cOngr1t-
ulations of their many friends. The
bride was at;ired i'm very rich and ele-
CANT conch shell pink silk of a light
shade with the traditional bridal veil and
orange blossoms. Miss Edith Macarthur,
first bridesmaid, appeared more than
usually prepossessing, in dress of white
swiss. Many of the ladies present at
tracted much attention by the taste dis
played in their dress. We venture to say
that seldom if ever before in CheboYgan
were there seen together so many elegant
and tasi eful attiws.
We cannot forbear, in this connection.
to speak more at length regarding the
second bridesmaid and groOmsman, Miss
Flossie and Master Willie McAlthur.
Miss Flossie was five. and Willie eight
years of age, and as they took their posi-
tions in church, they seemed as little EN-
barrassed rs their older companions.
Miss Flossie is a daughter of MIR. Arch.
OF Chicago. and in her beaurl-
ful dress, seemed the very picture OF IA
beautiful child. The presence and par
ticipation OF the little folks, added a great
deal to the enjoyment of the whole afiair.
The reception passed off very pleasant
ly, everybody seeming to enjoy the oc-
casion. The tables. loaded down with
their bountitul supplies, and ornamentetl
with the beautiful cakes. attracted much
attention and many encomiuns, and it
seemed really something akin TO vandal-
ism to break up and destroy that which
had taken so much labor and care 10
but after commencement was
made the entire company seemed rather
to enjoy it than otherwise. The we'd
ding presents were rich and numerous,
and consisted of beautiful gold watch
chain from the brides father, large BIZ
Bile from her mother. an elegant set of
coral and gold jewelry from the groom,
il silver fruit and nut dish, Mr.. and Mrs.
Arch. McArthnr, Chic go; silver cup,
Mrs. Jerome Leavitt; gol,l-liDed silver
card stand and boquet holder, Mr.. ami
Mrs. A. Hartweil, Chicago; dinner caster.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ward McArthur; silver
spOon-holler, Dir. and Mrs. Wm. Schults,
Chicago; a silver and glass boqnet
holder, Maud Macarthur, Chicago; sill
yer card stand and boqnet holder. Mr.
and Mrs. j. Post; silver and stained
glass sugar bowl. Willie McArthur; a
breakfast castor, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Owen Meridith's Lucille"
Cousin Mary; a silver card case, the
groom; silver butter knife. Edith Me
Arthur. We believe alvices had been
received OF ~ number of other presents
being sent; but they did notarrivc un-
ill after the wedding.
The Happy pair departed for their new
home in Chicago the following day
Tuesday. They have commenced their
new life under the most favorable aus
pices. That they may be blessed with a
long life OF joy and happiness is the
earnest desire of all.
