Perry's Victory!
A PLEASANT WEDDING PARTY AT THE
RESIDENCE Or Mr.. JAMES HARPERI

| On last Wednesday evening large
| number of young people-with few
older heads, to keep them straight con-
gregated at the residence of Mr.. James
Harper, on Portsmouth Street, in response
to invitations to the wedding of his
daughter Clara with c. Perry Aten. We
can say nothing more significant in praise
of Clara than the expression heard many
times heretofore from her lady friends,
that "Clara Harper is one Of the sweetest
girls in town." And Mrs. Aten certainly
is very estimable young lady. Perry is
one of our best young men, and large
number of invitations were sent out to
his gentlemen friends. The house was
filled completely by the time of the arri-
val of the minister, Rev. l.. L. Magee, of
Coalition.
At half-past eight, the time set for the
ceremony, the company all crowded into
one room, that they might the better wit
ness the ceremony. In this arrangement
there was much merriment, as all very
much desired to see the bridal couple, and
those in the back part of the room who
had not the good fortune to be tall, had
very poor chance. Promptly at the time
the couple appeared, preceded by the
minister, and took a position at one side
of the room. AS soon as the ceremony
was finished the minister introduced "Mr.
and Mrs. Aten" to the assembled guests.
Then there was grand rush to congrat-
ulate the young folks. After all had
given expression to their well-wishes, a
grand supper was served, one feature OF
which was the wealth of fine cakes, all
baked for the occasion by the bride her
self. After supper the young folks set in
for good time of it, one funny feature
being the initiation of all the gentlemen
present-including the minister-into the
knights of Pythias" lodge, organized for
the occasion. Then Mr.. Harper treated
the boys on the outside, and everybody
was happy. 1t was an exceedingly
pleasant time all around. Following is
