AN AUsPICToUs WEDDING.
On Tuesday, Nov. 20, the sun shone
brightly over the hills and into the home
of Francis Yundt, of Weissport, where
happy couple were united together in toly
wedlock. The bride was the accomplished
Miss Laura NJ Yundt, whose reputation
as lady and a teacher is well known and
remembered by the people OF Lehighton
and heissport. The groom was the we'll
known Milton A. Koons, one of the chief
clerks in the employ of the C r. r., of N.
j., at Mauch Chunk, which position he
has long, ably and creditably filed. Only
the immediate relatives were guests at the
wedding, but judging from the many hand
some gifts, il would seem that many
friends, though not present in BODY. were
at least present in some other tangible
form. The ceremony was conducted at 10
o'clock a. NJ. BY the Rev. G.. w. Sandt and
after bountiful repast was served. the
happy coople took the IL O'Clock train en-
route for an extended "trip through Mary
land and Virginia. After their return the
bride and groom intend locating at Slat-
ington, at least temporarily.
May the sunshine OF your wedding day
BE heightened out through life;
And the blessedness of virtues way,
Confirm you man and wife.
A FRIEND.
