the friends of Geo. W. Russell were
invited to his house to witness the

Miss Ada Palmer. A very pleasant
evening was spent, after which the
bride and bridegroom were presented

presents, consisting of spoons, nap
kin rings and other articles too nu-

and many were prevented from attend
ING who otherwise would have been
present. The gifts were numerous
and valuable; congratulatory remarks
were made by Rev. G. A Smith,
Judge Oliver of West Charleston Mr..
Story and Mr.. d. H. Webster, to
which Mr.. Smith responded most fe-
licitously. The homestead has been
in the family forty years, and the

have been spared to them and all
were present. The evening passed
delightfully."- and we hope our estima-
BILE friends may have many happy
wedding anniversaries before them.
