The marriage of MIR. W. w. Proctor, of New

friends were present To witness the ceremony
# which was performed by Rev. g.. &, Pollock
and at SEQ o'clock the bridal party entered
the church to the strains of Mendelssohn'
wedding march, rendered by Miss Arietta
Wagner.
@ Tho party consisted of the bride and groom
with Miss Nellie Patrick, of Albert Lea, M
g first brides maid, attended by Miss Hattie
: Griffin, OF Dubuque, Iowa, Miss Kittie Wise
o and Miss Kate Robb OF Mankato, and Mr.. Har.
ry N. Rose, of Rutland, Vermont AZ best man,

ton, II. f. Swan, c. f. Wise and Henry Payne.
/, The bride was attired I'm an elegant white
satin rhadames, cut entraine with low corsage
and deliberately beaded front. Orange bios
SONS and the regulation bridal vail COM
, pleted the beautiful costume.
At the conclusion OF the marriage rites, the
party returned to the home of the brides
parents, followed by u large number of in
vited friends, where congratulations were
8 rendered and a decidedly enjoyable time had.
Refreshments were served IN DIR. McGraw's
new and attractive home. The bridal table
was very beautiful, and attracted the atten-
ton OF all.
The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles A. Payne, and a lady pos
sessed of all the charms and grace that the
heart Of Il young man could crave. For sew
eral wears she attended school nc Clinton,
New York and gainesville, Ohio. She has
all the desirable accomplishments To adorn
home and grace society, and will make the
man of her choice such u home rs only those
possessed of an amicable temper and lovsble
nature can. Her long residence in Mcnkato,
and the great number OF friends .sho has won
here speak only words of praise for her.
The groom is a young man who, while II
stranger here, enjoys the highest esteem by
those who are best acquainted with him. I'M
I'll quite recently he for some time held the re-
sponsible position of teller in the Chemical
Bank OF New York city, resigning that place
for a more desirable position on the new aque-
duct that Is being constructed In the greatest
American metropolis. He is u bright young
man, of good habits, good education, and II
wo mistake not possesses all the attributes
necessary 40 a good husband.
This wedding was one OF the most brilliant
Affairs ever held in the city, and the large ar
ray Of elaborate presents tells i'm what high
esteem these young folks are held by their
friends. Mr.. Payne remembered his last
daughter with a very solid gift in the way of
a substantial check.
The young couple left for New York via the
