Young lady forevermore. At about S
| O'Clock the company assembled in the par
Tors when, standing together, the Rev. w.
| II. Hughes, ct the Methodist Episcopal
church, went through the unique ceremony

| matrimonial alliance for the couple that
had travelled down liies hill together for
| the past quarter of century. He re-
marked that, as the then officiating
minister had said, IF there
be any present who could show Just cause
why the man and woman should not be
| joined together in lawful wedlock," etc.
SO he now should say, "lf there be any
present who could show just cause why
