The Cook Davis Nuptials.

And we have had the pleasure Of being
present at and of now recording one
Of the very pleasantest events of this
kind that the history Of our town can
boast.
On Wednesday evening, Oct. 9th,
Miles B. Cook, M. d., and Maud Anna
Davis, daughter Of Hon. E. L. Davis,
were united in wedlock. Rev. w. F.
Wood Of the Second Presbyterian
Church of Oil City, officiated. The
form Of ceremony used was the mar.
riage service of the Episcopal Church
the most impressive and beautiful Of
all the forms that bind heart, life,
hope, and human destiny together.
There we're no bridesmaids or grooms.
men. The brides father gave away
the bride. The bride was elegantly
yet simply and tastefully attired. She
wore a white corded silk, en- train,
trimmed with point lace. Except a
diamond pin at the throat she wore no
ornaments. Fastened at the head
with pearl pins aud bunch of smilax
q veil fell down and flowed over the
whole costume. She carried bunch
of white roses in her hand. The
groom wore the conventional black
suit. A very handsome aud pleasing
picture the bride and groom formed as
they stood together at the close of the
ceremony. He, tall and finely formed,
and she with q grace aud dignity that
we'll became the occasion added to
the natural charms Of person and
manner. AT precisely six o'clock the
bride entered the room leaning on her
fathers arm, the groom being escorted
by Mr.. j. D. Davis, and the words
we're pronounced that takes from US
one of our most talented and agreeable
young ladies.
The wedding was an interesting
social event. Miss Davis enjoyed an
extended social acquaintance outside
her home circle. A large number of
invitations we're issued and nearly 200
guests-many from distance-were
present and witnesses of the happy
event. An elegant supper was served
after the ceremony. Many and hearty
were the congratulations presented to
the happy pair; yet so thoroughly
popular with US all has the bride been
and 80 universal the friendship for her
that the congratulations, while sincere,
were spoken with not little of regret.
The presents made to the married
couple were many, handsome, and
valuable. There were few duplicates
nicer collection it would be difficult
to imagine. The grocm's present to
the bride was fine piano, gift ele'
CANT and appropriate.
The bride and groom left on the
train going South al 8:05. They will
"be at home," soon, to their many
friends, in Buffalo, where they will
reside. DR.. Cook is associated 10 the
practice of medicine with DR.. Hsr,
rington, leading physician of Bufa'
10, and already enjoys large and ex'
tensive practice.
The REPUBLICAN individually ex
tends its best wishes and congratula'
tions to bride and groom. May theiI
future be as bright as their wedding
festival was auspicious.
