their residence, Weston, Illinois, at sew
en- o'clock p. NJ"
The opportunity embraced in the in
yitation was accepted and your cores
pondent went to the hosptable home o.
Mr.. Tippett to find there large number
ofthe friends and neighbors of the BRIDE
parents, as well as many of the friend.
and companions of the bride herself
For be it known that Carrie is one Of the
leading young ladies of Weston, one
whOes genial smile gIaddens the socia
circle and was always among the fore
most in whatever of social nature that
transpired in the village of Weston.
The groom, Mr.. Shelson r. White,
son of VIM. White, appointment and sue
cessful young farmer of Hazel Green, he
is well liked as social gentleman and
neighbor. The hour for the ceremony
was o clock p. M. and as the wedding
march was being very excelently rem
dered by Mrs. Gus. Brown, of Galena,
the bridal party promptly filed into the
room at the appointed time and took
their places before the Rev j. H. Thorn
as, of Elizabeth, Illinois, and promised
to love, honor and cherish each other
while life shall last. Mr.. Phil. S. White,
of Dubuque, brother of the groom, and
Mr.. win Tippett, of Weston, brother OF
the bride, otficiated as groomsmen, and
Mamie Tippett, of Weston, sister of the
bride, and Miss Nellie f. White, of Ha-
eel Green, sister of the groom, as brides
maids.
The bride was arrayed with rich
bridal costume of brown silk with the
appropriate ornaments. The brides
maids were also attired in brown silk.
The groom and attendants wore the
customary suits. Carrie looked bride
in all that pertains TO that title in beauty
and respect. The groom looked brave,
happy and triumphant, while the sacred
rites were performed in beautiful and
impressive manner by the Rev. j. H.
Thomas, and the twain were made one.
In the language of Tom Moore,
There's bliss beyond all that the minstrel has
told
When two, that are linkd in one heavenly tie,
| with heart never changing aud brow never cold.
Love on thro all ills, and love on till they die.
One hour of passion 50 sacred il worth
Whole ages of heartless and wandering bliss,
And oh! If there be an Elysium on earth,
| IL Is this-it is this"
Judging from the appearance of the
now Mr.. and Mrs. White, they both
would endorse all of the above senti-
ment. Congratulations were extended
to the happy pair by relatives and
friends, after which the guests, about
fifty in number, repaired to the dining
room, led by the young bride and
groom, and partook Of very excellent
and substantial repast, which was
served under the supervision of the
brides mother. Time passed very
pleasantly till late hour, with games
interspersed with good vocal and ins
strumental music, Mrs Gus Brown and
Miss Emma Gill presiding at the organ.
Mr.. and Mrs. White will remain at Wes-
ton few days, after which they will
visit friends and relatives in Dubuque,
Hazel Green and Mineral Point. At the
conclusion of their bridal trip they will
settle down at Hazel Greed, which vii
lage they intend to make their future
