LEET0WN NEWS.

AT Bunker Hill, on the ODD inst,
the solemn contract of matrimony
was entered into by Mr.. Smith G.,
Stuckey and Miss Sallie Stuckey. The
marriage took place in the Episcopal
Church. At4:45 p. m, the crowd was
silenced by the whispered exclamation
"Here they come" First came the
ushers, Messrs. Henry Null, Joseph
Catrow, Willie Haines, and George H.
Ramsburg; then the bride and groom
elect. AS they entered the door the
silence of the spell-bound audience
was broken by the playing ofthe we'd
ding march by Mrs. DIR. Morrison.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Mr.. Gibson, of Middleway. Quite a
number of the friends of the happy
couple were present to witness the
ceremony and to extend to them their
congratulations and best wishes for
their future welded lives. The bride
looked charming of course-as she
always did-and the groom struggled
hard to suppress too great and exhi-
bition Of his happiness and deport
himself with the gravity that the oc.
casion required. After the ceremony,
the invited guests adjourned to the
residence of Maj. Charles Stuckey,
father of the bride, where they were
kindly entertained and a reception
given in behalf of the occasion. The
writer adds his congratulations and
good wishes to the many that have
been showered upon upon him.
"Wouldh he ever be so fortunate" May
there be just clouds enough over your
lives to form a glorious sunset.
Another year has rolled away and a
retrospective view of the past shows
us the time and places where the Bit
ter has been mingled with the sweet
and enables us, as we glance over the
pages of futurlty, to mark the places
where we may stamp Improvement,
by our past examples. Now is the
accepted time, or at least a good time
to form plans with care and deter
mine, Is we meet them, to execute
them with vigor.
