WEDDING BELLS.
The Marriage OF Mr.. Thomas q. Morgan
and Miss Edith L. Brinkman.

An exceptionally large and brilliant
assemblage thronged the hoase of our
esteemed fellow townsmau, Mr.. Herman
Brinkman, last evening, tie occasion
being the marriage of his daughter
Edith with Thomas T. Morgan formerly
of this city, but now of Stanford,
Meagher county. The elements in all
their fury waged an unsuccessful war
fare against the well-known hospitality
of Mr. and Mrs. Brinkman and by eight
o'clock, despite the storm, the house was
friends of the bride and groom. At
half-past eight the Rev. Mr.. CleWs, OF
st. Pauls Church, entered the parlor
followed by Mr.. Morgan and Miss
Brinkman, the latter supported by Miss
Howe, while Mr.. Charles Green per-
formed the Offices of .'bestmann for the
groom. The ceremony was conducted
according to the impressive and beauti-
ful ritual of the Episcopal church, and
concluded, congratulations poured in
upon the couple with such fervor and
haste that it has been since suggested
that mistakes were made and that more
were kissed than the BRIDE and groom.
We noticed, ourselves, several of the
young fellows retaining their presence
of mind amid the general confusion and
have reason to believe that the suspicion
is well founded. All brides look charm
ing, but this one, particularly SO in her
dress of spotless white null elaborately
trimmed and garnished with flowers
and ribbons ofthe same color. The groom
was in usual evening dress and looked
the handsome manly fellow he is. The
premonitory tuning of vioiins soon
cleared the floor for dancing and for the
next hours one waltz or quadrille fol-
lowed closely upon the other, excepting
at the interval for supper-a most
sumptuous affair which fully sustained
the reputation of the hostess in this re-
gard. We do not remember to have
seen in Benton SO much genuine enjoy
ment crowded into a single evening.
The bride is great favorite in Ben
ton, where she has lived since little
girl, and we who have lived for some
time in this city can testify to her
amiability and genuine worth. The
older residents Of this place were pres
ent in conspicuous numbers last even
ing, marked compliment to the bride.
Everyone knows the groom, as Tom.
Morgan. For many years he has been
connected in q responsible capacity with
the firm of Il. G. Power & Bros, and
more recently has become partner in
their Stanford house. He is an honor
able, manly fellow Of genial popularity,
and in choosing his wife he has shown
again his uniform good judgment. The
happy pair leave in day or two for
Stanford, which is to be their future
