OF such happy consummation as this
marriage. From the dawn of civil.
zation to the present time this sacred
rite has been an occasion of ever-in-
creasing interest, and the large crowd
of admiring friends and acquaintance
which packed the church to witness
these nuptials shows the esteem in
which the bride is held at home, as
well as the favorable impressions the
groom has made here during his few
brief visits. " ~ 4 nnil
The groom holds u responsible DO
sition in the city government of Bow

fidence and highest regard of the
entire people of that place. He is
young man possessed of all the noble

tues which go to make him eminently
worthy of the most excellent woman
