1t seems but very few years ago tina
we knew a bright-eyed pretty little gir
in this place, who was general favorite
Her kindness of heart, her lady-like de

he the perfect type of the loveliness O.
girlhood and womanhood. There wer'
none who did not love little Leni Ed
wards, and so swiftly has time rushed
along that one could scarcely realize that
the magnificent woman standing before
the assembled guests on last Wednesday
evening, and entering into the marriage
contract with MI. U. B. G. Ewing of this
place, was the little Leni of a few years
ago. Miss Leni-now Mrs. Ewing-is
| the only child of Mrs. Susan Edwards
Mother and daughter have lived among
the people of Jackson for many years,
and we can say with perfect confidence,
that no better people ever lived here. The
mother an earnest faithful Christian, the
daughter was early taught the grand
truths which rendered the life of the
mother beautiful, and for some time Miss
Leni has been an active and faithful work

Mrs. Ewing to her Indiana home.
On Wednesday evening the residence
of Mrs. Edwards, on Pearl street, was
filled with guests. Only a limited num-
Der of invitations were issued, these to
intimate friends and acquaintance of,
years. 1t was happy, animated scene
when at eight o'clock Rev. F. S. Davis
walked into the parlor, followed by the
bridal couple. On the front side of the
room, and above the heads of the bridal
couple, had been arranged, under the di-
rection of Mrs. G. G. James, beautiful
floral horseshoe, and monogram. Here
the couple took their places, Mr.. Ewing
dressed in a dark dress-suit, Miss Leni
dressed in pure white 1t was pretty
picture, and we could not feel surprised
that the tears streamed from the eyes of
our old friend Mrs. Edwards, as the SOL
emn voice of the minister pronounced the
words which took her Leni away from
her. For years they had lived for one
another; for years they had been con-
slant companians; for years the light of
Leni's presence had been the joy and life
of the home-but now she was taken
away. What? Did we say taken away?
No. no! The mothers tears are lost in
joy of the thought that where she had
one loving child, she now has two. She
does not lose a daughter, she receives a
son into her heart and home, and the
merry rush of congratulations and we'll |
wishes Immediately following the cere
mony, tell the good mother how happy |
her Leni is, how happy the friends are,
how happy she is. Mr.. Ewing was edu-
Gated for the medical profession, but on
account of not possessing very robust
health, will go into the mercantile busi-
ness at Richmond, Indiana. Mrs. Ed
wards will go and make her home with
hem, and while Jackson will very much
regret the loss of these good people, the
prayers of friends here will go up for the
greatest blessings of the Father to abide
with them in their new home.
