A Brilliant Wedding.

Mr.. Editor On Thursday last st. Johns
church was crowded with the elite of this
and Howard counties. The occasion being
the marriage of one of Montgomery's prettiest
and most popular bellies, whose lovely char
acter has won for her host of friends and
admirers. We regret that the beaux of
Montgomery could not have prevented her
leaving the place of her nativity. Whilst
we sorrow at losing Miss Lucy W. Hutton,
we congratulate our sister county that the
mansion of Mr.. Joshua N. Warfeld will be
presided over by hostess well worthy to
dispense the hospitality for which Howard
county is so renowned. AS the organ, pre-
sided over by Mrs. Washington Bowie, peal
ed forth the soft strains of the distribution"
march, the panoramic view gave us a sight
rarely seen of beautiful women and hand
some men. The ushers, Messrs. Gus Jones,
Jr., and Marshal p. Howard, were followed
by DIR. Augustus Riggs and Miss Annie
Jones, Mr.. Josiah Hutton and Miss Nellie
Orndorff, DIR. Thos. Clark and Miss Bette
Riggs, Mr.. Howard Watkins and Miss Nan
ME Carter, Senator Edwin Warfield and
Miss Susie Riggs--the bride and groom elect
bringing up the rear. Upon reaching the
chancel they stood under beautiful mar
rage bell whilst being united in the holy
bonds of wedlock by the Rev. Mr.. Laird, as
sisted by the Rev. Dr. Hutton. The bride
being given away by her brother, Mr.. ]. ].
Hutton.
Immediately after the benediction was
pronounced the bridal party, to the strains
of "Mendolsshn's" wedding march, left the
church and returned to the residence OF Mr..
John A. Riggs, where a warm reception and
elegant supper were given to the relatives
and intimate friends of the contracting par.
ties.
The bride was very handsomely attired in
white satin with the usual veil and orange
blossoms. Not being an fat of such mat
tiers, we cannot describe the dresses of the
bridesmaids; they looked lovely, and are
five as pretty ladies as can be found in any
county in the State.
The presents were numerous and costly,
among them we remember the following

And juries never disagree;
When politicians are content,
And landlords don't collect their rent;
When parties smash all the machines,
And Boston folks give up their beans
When naughty children all die young,
And girls are born without tongue;
When ladies don't take time To hop,
And office holders never flop;
When preachers cut their sermons short,
And folks to the church resort;
When back subscribers all have paid,
And editors have fortunes made;
