made her the fayorite Of all and conse-

unlimited good wishes for future hap
piness and prosperity. Through all
could the most careless observer have
noticed many an unbidden tear or sigh
OF uncomfortable regret, for to them did
ali this mean the severing of a friend
ship Of many years duration, the TAX
ing away Of one whom they loved and
from whom they could nor part but
with regret.
The bride was dressed in bright
garnet silk tlimmed with satin; orne-
ments, diamonds and flowers. The
groom wore black dress coat, black
vest and neck tie and striped cashmere
pants; a fine sample of manhood, and
looking as happy as could be expected
at the successful result of his endeav-
ors TO secure one Of the choicest prizes
in the Buckeye state.
Two tables were filled with the pres
ents; choicest tokens of respect and es-
TEEN. The groom headed the list with
beautiful gold watch and chain for the
bride. He and his bride left
on Thursday for Martinsburg, where
they will make their home. May the
abundance of well wishes that follow
them be even less than the prosperity
and happiness which may be theirs
through long and useful life.
