khIa CITY

Marriage OF Frank b. TomIinsOn. OF
barclay, and Miss Sadie sWeitzer. OF
this City.
The pleasant home of A. McCuicheon,
at No. 100 Rural street. was the scene
last week Of one Of the most enjoya-
bic. weddings which ever took place in
Emporia- The contracting parties were
Frank b. TomlInson, station agent and
operator Of the Santa Fe at Barclay, and
Miss Sadie SWeitzer, who several weeks
since gave up cases on THE News which
she had held acceptably for over seven
years. The ceremony was performed
In . very happy manner by Rev. j. T.
Hanna, Of the II. e. church, In the pres
ence of company embracing the rela-
tives and special friends of the bride
and groom. The former was becoming
Iy sttIred IN handsome dregs Of wine
silk dress, with . Spanish lace fishue
and flowers at the throat, and appeared
TO the best possible advantage on this,
the most momenious and suspicious Oc-
casion Of her life. The groom wore q
dark suit and presented q very fine ap-
pearance.
After the happy couple had received
the earnest and hearty congratulations
OF their friends. supper was announced,
and the feast Of good things which was
spread for the reireshment Of the COM
pany proclaimed Mrs. McCutcheon, the
excellent hostess, . most accomplished
mistress OF the culinary art, and her
skill IN this direction was most elo-
quently compl1mented by the eager man
ner in which the delicious edibles were
discussed by the guests. The many
friends Of the bride took this fitting oc-
casion 70 express their appreciation of
her true worth by the presentation of
many pretty and valuable gifts which
will go toward furnishing and beautify-
ing the home which Mr.. Tomlinson has
already provided for his wife.
Although possessed of that true mod
esty which Is the chief charm OF her
eek, and which shuns rather than seeks
the notice Of the world, the history
Of the bride is full of inspiration
to every young woman who feels q
pride In the best development Of her ca
| pabilities and the most successful en-
ployment Of the possibilities by which
she Is surrounded. Left an orphan at
the early age Of ten years, she found a
temporary home with friends and by
this means was enabled 70 gain that
knowledge OF the common branches Of
instruction which was the sole equip
ment with which she started to do bat
tie against the formidable odds which
meet the empy-handed In the
struggle Of life, and which are
only vanquished by indomitsble
courage and unwavering fidelity
to worthy purposes. At the age of IF
teen years abe entered TIE News Office
where, by dInt OF ceaseless industry and
tireless patience, she mastered the art
preservative, and became in time an ex-
cellent compositor. During her con-
nection with this Office, she acquired
with the earnings of her hands, q com
| Portable home on Rural street, to which
she brought two years ago an orphaned
sister TO whom she sustained the relation
OF parent until her marriage with 6
prosperous farmer of Reading township
It Is true that her sphere of endeavol
has bsSn comparatively humble snt
circumscribed by conditions which have
limited her scope of action; but she hal
proved Rrandly loyal to every relation
in Lille which she has been called upon
to sustain, and her husband has secured
In her a help-meet who will reveal tC
him the priceless value of true wife.
Mr.. Tomlinson is young man o
most sterling character, his life ia fret
from reproach, be is industrious ant
frugal and we feel that the sharer Of hi
future Joys and sorrows has committed
her happiness to the keeping of one who
will be TO her ell that she has hoped for
The happy couple started last week TO
their home at Barclay and we only trus
that the measure of their Happiness
may be 80 full and complete as to real
ize all the kind wishes and prayers o
their many ardent friends in this com
munity.
