For several weeks the rumo, hsd been
current that there would be wedding in
this village very shortly. II was we'll
known that Mis-. Halle Butner, one Of our
most beautiful and accomplished young
ladies would enact the role Of bride when.
ever the event did occur, but IL was not
certainly known who would figure in the
groom's part. One faction boldly asserted
that Mr.. W. q. Adams would be the lucky
individual, while another faction we're
equally as positive that the lightning would
strike Mr.. G. w. Baker. The frat named
is a popular young farmer living few
miles in the country, and Mr. Baker is a
very deserving young merchant Of this
place. Each ofthe young gentlemen seem
ed bent on capturing the prize, and each
threw his whole soul into the matter. The
friendly relations existing between them
were in no wise disturbed, however, the
fight they made being fair, open and man
ly. They had been running along neck and
neck for some time, but last Thursday il
became evident that crisis was approach
ing. The young lady up to this time had
wisely kept her own counsel, and paid no
attention to the rumors that were flying
about. To all outward appearance she had
no special preference for either Of her
suitors, treating both graciously. In her
heart OF hearts, however, she knew which
owned her affections, and when the time
came for her to speak out her choice she
was not slow Of utterance. As stated, the
CRIES arrived last Thursday morning. Miss
Butner was called on 10 "choose ye this
day whom you will" bless. She chose and
Mr.. Baker was the lucky individual. Mr.
Adams accepted his defeat with becom-
ing resignation, and Mr.. Baker modestly
rsked in the prize. They we're married
Thursday evening at o'clock, at the resi-
dence Of ]. T. Clark, step-faiher of the
bride. The wedding was very quiet, being
witnessed by only few immediate friends
of the contracting parties. Elder NJ. r.
Moore pronounced the ceremony m a quite
impressive manner. The attendants were
Miss Cleo Williams and Mr.. S. NJ Bur-
dett The bride, blushing maiden Of six
teen summers, never looked more lovely,
while the groom, splendid specimen Of
young manhood, was superlatively happy.
May their welded life be one Of unintsr-
rupted joy.
