A goodly company of intimate friends
and relatives Of the contracting parties
assembled in happy mood to witness
the important ceremony which was per-
formed promptly mt 7 p. III. Then fol-
lowed the bomteous repast of dainty
good things 80 skillfullv prepared by
the hostess-a banquet that would do
honor to king, the merry round of
marriage Jokes, and friendly greeting
and leap'year puns, until all unconscioua
the merry moments of most enjoyable
evening had passed, and the parting
hour had come, when each must re-
turn to their respective homes feeling
that 1t had been happy evening, pleas
antly spent in genial home, and In
honor of a worthy couple newly en-
parked on the voyage of married life.
The groom Is a young man well known
and highly esteemed In this vicinity for
integrity, and exemplary character, who
has won n cherished bride of equal mer-
its, and who is in every way worthy OF
him. The following is u list of the
presents left as tokens of regard by
their friends:

One Of the exceedingly pleasant af-
fairs of the season was the marriage
last week of Mr.. VIM. w. Rucker and
Miss Fannie Carper, the oldest daughter
of our estimable friend, Il. Y. Carper,
which occurring on our last publication
day, gave opportunity for but bare
announcement. 1t was an secession of
unusual interest to all present, in that
it was not only the first mar iage in Mr..
and Mrs, Carper's family, but was also
a kind of jubilee reunion of what is
known as the host Of "IIenry county
boys" with old "Rock-bottom Bill" as
affable and efficient master Of cere-
monies. The comfortable home was
crowded to the full with company of
as genial and jolly guests as ever as
sembled on a like occasion. And the
hospitable manner in which we were
treated by Nate" and his estimable
lady, was most heartily appreciated by
every guest, as was especially manifested
by the eager zest, and persistent efforts
on the part of all to relieve the groan-
ing tablesof their load OF choice and pala-
table yiands which Mrs. Carper's culin-
airy skill had furnished in an unfailing
supply. The event furnished a most
happy closing of the old year in Mr..
and Mrs. Carpers household and we
trust they may ever be able to look
back to it with renewed joy through all
their life.
