lations Of their friends and company
After which they all Shutdown to a
dinner gotten up by Mrs. Brown
which is sufficient guarantee that il
could not have been better, at least
that was the Unanimous decision of the
company. After dinner came the
viewing of the presents of which there
was large and elegant variety, which
we itemize for-the benefit of those not
present. As the time rolled around
for the 3:08 train the company escorted
Mr.. and Mrs. Latta to the depot, after
throwing the traditional slipper after
them as they were leaving the house,
and Wishing them a long, happy, and
prosperous journey through life.
They are taking an extended trip
around to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, over
through the Canadas, around by Syra-
cuse,. N. Y. and Friendship, N. Y,
and will return to Wilcox in about
four weeks. They will then take
their final departure for their new
home at Friendship, N. Y.
1t is useless to attempt description
of the dress of the ladies present,
suffice it to say that the bride was
beautifully and tastefully attired in
white brocade silk and other material,
better known to the ladies than any
one else, with long bridal veil, white
kids, &c. The bridesmaid was attired
in white and looked, as the girls say,
TOO sweet for anything except a
bride. The bridegroom was dressed
in black, with white vest, necktie, and
kids, and appeared to good advantage.
The groomshan was dressed in black.
The ladies were dressed principally in
black silk, there being seventeen black
silk dresses present.; few wore shaded
silks, cashmeres and white, in all a
very richly and tastefully dressed
company. And now as RipvanWinkle
would say, "Here is to their gooder
health of themselves, their children's s
and their families and may they all
live live long and prosper, and now 1
swear off," Yours, H.
