called the good people of our community
together, probably the marriage of Miss

groom, occupies a position among the edu-
Gators of the State second to none, while
his equally happy bride holds position in
the front rank of the beauty and intellect
of our people. The affair, while intended
for quiet and homelike one, was
honored by the presence of representatives
from the families of the elite of the city.
