A Vinton County Gentleman Secures
Prize!
For several days cards had been ou
announcing that on last Wednesday Mr.
Ed. Foster, of Hamden, and Miss Opheli;
Stephenson, of Jackson, would be mar
ried. On the day named large numbei
of the friends of the young couple con
gregated at the residence of the brides
mother, mile or so from town, where
at 12 o'clock, the ceremony was performed
by Elder z. W. Pagan, of the M. E
Church, who came from Gallipolis fol
that purpose. Immediately after the
ceremony, the newly welded pair, with
the assembled company, marched into
the dining-room, where an elegant dinner
was served. In the afternoon the couple
left for visit to the groom's parents,
at Byers' Station, stopping over night at
Hamden. And they were followed by
well-wishes, and prayers for future hap
piness, on the part of hosts of friends
here. They will live in Hamden, and
will board during the summer, Mr.. Fos-
ter being in business at that place.
Mr.. Foster is brother of our fellow
citizens Leck and Zip Foster, and is
handsome and pleasant young gentle
man. Mrs. Foster is a daughter of the
late Harrison Stephenson, and is one of
the handsomest, as well as most popular
young ladies of Jackson. She was an
occasional caller at the home of the Sem
ior Editor of the Standard, and her
bright, happy disposition always rendered
her an especially welcome visitor, as it
endeared her to all who met her. 1t will
seem lonesome in Jackson with Ophelia
away, but her hosts of friends rejoice in
the belief that she has husband worthy
of her, and who will render her life for
the future happy one, and the Standard
can cheerfully say: "Bless you, my chill
DIRE mp Of course these good people re-
membered the printers, and sent in a
generous supply of wedding-cake.
