Mr.. Melvin McMcClannahan and Miss
Mamie Huff, of this village, were mar
ried by the Rev. Robert Alexander, at the
parsonage, St. Clairsville, on the oath
inst. at 10 A. NJ, returning to the residence
of Mr.. Jesse Huff, the brides father, the
same evening. Mr.. NJ. is nephew of
Mr.. Robert Humphrey, with whom he
resided. Mr.. and Mrs. Humphrey gave
supper in honor of the newly married
pair on Saturday evening, at o'clock,
which proved to be "a most enjoyable and
pleasant occasion. About sixty guests
were present, and Mr.. Humphrey said he
regretted exceedingly that he could not
extend invitations to many others for
whom he had the moet friendly regard.
The company represented many of the
most respected families of the eommuni
ty, who expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the generous hospitality ex
tended to them and the social nature of
the occasion. Miss Vickie Humphrey re-
ceived the lady guests in the best man.
ner. and the gentlemen were equally
well provided for. We desire to make
especial mention of the supper could
not hGce been 7licer-the table was deco
rated in a handsome and artistic manner
there was an abundance of every deli
cacy, and the provision and arrangement
was highly creditable to those who had
the matter in charge. Mr.. and Mrs Nc
Clannahan were the recipients of many
handsome and valuable presents, which
were presented in the name of the donors
by DR.. VIM. Burgess, of New Athens,
who made brief and interesting ad
dress. We have not list of the pres
ents, but they were all valuable and use
full, and rendered as an expression of
good will toward the newly married pair,
who have the best wishes of their friends
for their success. Mr.. N. had previously
purchased home, and had it repaired
and furnished, ready for occupancy. Ev
erything pertaining to the occasion was
characterized by responsibility and good
TASTE and the guests wish for all cen
cerned many years of happiness and
prosperity.
Mr.. Joseph McNary and wife, of Wash
ington, Pa, passed through town on Fri
day of last week, and made a brief call
on some of their old-time friends and
neighbOrs. Seventeen years ago they
were our worthy and estimable citizens,
and much regret was expressed at their
removal. 1t is pleasant to meet them
again and talk over the. old and new
times together Mr. Nc. is well posted
in oil, and could give some of his farm
er friends some hints in the matter of
leases that would prove of value. In
his younger days he talked horse"
being interested in fine horses-now he
talks OIL as is natural for Washing
ton man to do. Both are social, inteili
gent people, and this personal notice will
prove of interest to many persons in this
community.
Mr. p George, who recently suffered
the loss of his buildings by fire has with
characteristic pluck and enterprise got
ready for business at the old stand, and
should receive liberal share of public
patronage. 1t will take long time for
him to retrieve his loss, and to many men
the prospect would have proved most dis
couraging indeed.
Mrs. James Bentley is again seriously
i'll, as we learned on Monday evening.
Rev. Keyser, OF Massachusetts, preach
ed at the U. P Church on Sabbath, Rev.
