/ party was cordially invited to participate Of
the sumptuous dinner prepared by that most
/ e-timabIe lady, Mrs. Ophiha Andersen, Of
ICONS After which the happy pair were to
take the North bound train for their beauti-
ful residence near Nashville. They leave a
host Of friends who tender their warmest
congratulations and most sincere wishes for
their future welfare. May the brightest
connub:al flowers ever bloom along their
pathway, cxpeiling every cloud OF gloom
that may tend to mar their happiness. May
the angles attend them on their way through
life, and when they hav, crossed the dark
waters anu anchored safely on the eternal
shore, conduct them to their home OF beauty,
holiness and love.
Shine on their sweetly scented road,
Thou star of evenings dome,
That leldcst the nightingale s5rosd,
Aud suidest the pilgrim to his homo.
