The trite axiom, 1t is not good for
man to be alone,u has come thunder
ing down to us through past ages, and
is as fresh and effective today, as it
was when it fell from Divine lips. It
is not confined to any country, section
or locality, but all countries and all
people recognize the wisdom therein
and accept the teaching with
sublime submission.
What we have to say, on this point,
is but the old story. A gentleman
from Kansas, saw vision Of future
on meeting one OfOur bellies.
He accepted the situation and COM
menced a seige of the citadel. In a
reasonable time he conquered, and on
Wednesday last, the final agreement
of capitulation was contaminated.
The announcement runs this way:
Married, at the Presbyterian church,
in Carthage, at high noon, on We'd
nesday, June "a, 1885, &c. Lyeth, of
Strong City, Kansas, to Miss DOllie
Richardson, of Carthage, daughter of
Col. and Mrs. j. M. Richardson, Rev.
w. s. Knight repeating the magic
words that bound the happy couple
together in the silken bonds of Hymen,
which are stronger than bonds of steel.
Happy denoument. In the pres
ence of a large concourse of assembled
friends, all eager to extend congratu-
lations, the hearts that had before
been entwined together by an unseen
force, were legally bound to each
other for all time, come prosperity or
adversely. Here let our blessings fall.
The church was beautifully and ar
tiscally ornamented, the decorations
being under the management of the
Alpha literary society, of which Miss
Dollie was leading member. The
canopy Of made lilies and other strik-
ing flowers, over the spot where the
bride and groom stood during the GER
emony, the pyramid of flowers and
plants in front of them, the lovely
flowers to the right and left, and the
beautiful floral design of "Alpha |"
suspended so as to be mostattractive,
seemed to make perfect picture of
loneliness, and the whole design was
certainly arranged by those capable of
getting up picture Raphael would
grow jealous in viewing.
The bridesmaids were six in number
as follows: Misses Celia WILDER, niece
of the bride, Leila Herndon, of Carol.
ton, Mo-, Lucy Shackleford, of Spring
field, Cad. Warwick, of Hamilton,
Ohio, Bessie Mayors, of M1llersburg,

The bridegrooms were Messrs. HI.

The bride wore an elegant dress of
cream Ottoman silk, fan plated in
front, with cascades of Duchess lace
down either side, heavy long train,
waist with square neck, de Medici col
lar, deliberately trimmed with Duchess
lace, long white gloves, white rose
buds and white slippers. The bride
never looked lovelier.
The bridesmaids wore cream Orien-
tai lace dresses, beautifully embroid-
cred, cut dancing length, tan Nous.
quetaire gloves and natural roses, to
which Miss Herndon added diamond
jewelry.
Mrs. G. H. Lyeth, of Wichita, Kan
sas, sister-in-law to the groom,
wore her wedding dress, she having
been married sixteen months since, to
an officer in the U. S. Navy. 1t was
an elegant trained robe of cream bro
cade satin. Mrs. Lyeth is a lovely
lady and added very much to the gay
ETY. of the happy bridal throng.
The groom and his attendants wore
faultless black, of course.
The wedding being over, the invit-
ed guests repaired to the spacious
mansion of Col. J. M. Richardson, on
Fulton Street, to extend cougratula-
lions and good wishes to the new mar
ried couple and partake of the hearty
hospitality of the generous hosts.
The bride and groom received the
congratulations Of friends under the
entwined mistletoe, and just in front
of an artistically wrought yoke of nat
ural flowers, which after the rain was
beautifully illuminated by the rays of
the sun stealing into the darkened
room. The yoke is emblematic. May
it always be one of flowers.
The repast was all that could be de-
sired and with Misses Warwick and
Celia WILDER to look after the guests,
the most delicate want of fastidious
appetite was satisfied to its fullest ex-
tent. We want to extend our con-
gratulations to the two ladies named,
as well as the bride and groom, for
they contributed much to the enter.
tainment of the occasion. One of these
ladies cheerfully informed the editor
of this paper, that they were prepared
to feed him on nine kinds of cake and
everything else in proportion. We
accepted the situation.
Many beautiful and costly wedding
presents were to be seen in the east

The happy couple spent few days
with his parents in this city, and then
left for Washington and other points
on their bridal trip. We extend our
congratulations, and wish them hap
py and prosperous future.
